This is a circumstance born, in no small part, of the idea that manual labor and menial labor is meaningless and has no real value.

Our economy has been sold from beneath us, and the overall cultural ideologies result in most people avoiding these things. But it is the only thing that is actual production - the rest of the economy is all efficiencies or expenditure.

Slowly, the wealth has slipped away, and now it’s becoming apparent to people, and they don’t know who to blame.

Find or make an enclave and survive together.

Welcome to the internet.

That’s a fairly decent and nuanced take.

😿

Snaps bad because shoving updates down throats.

This is a solid take.

Personally, I took snap out of my computer and burned it over a fire, but i toasted my marshmallows first, because I didn’t want snap on my marshmallows.

That just doesn’t happen to me.

I use rEFInd.

Putting back into your company is fine. It’s the endless profiteering that sucks, and that ultimately reduces customer experience. Steam keeps it’s niche specifically by producing a great customer experience, and getting out of the way.

Steam is also putting back into their company. But there’s no need for enshittification. That’s a publicly-traded-company, tragedy-of-the-commons thing.

Yeah. I now buy and play almost exclusively on Linux.

Son/daughter would be like “ugh, this is lame, I want to play real-world games with peoples’ lives. …like, corporate wars, or screw-the-smallguy.”

Kids never handle the inheritance right, and passing on the experiences they need in order to do so is hard as fuck.

It really is.

Easy-peasey to rig. Worker co-op isn’t a bad idea.

I vote that as a second to finding a successor, and giving the whole thing to them, sans whatever kickbacks to family etc that he wants.

Meh.

Indeed.

You’re the one with issues here, I was just browsing and saw the thread and figured I’d comment.

Maybe talk to Torvalds for some recommendations.

The point of open source is kinda that you have the freedom to do as you will.

The point of packaged distros is so that you don’t have to do too much.

Do as you will, brother, do as you will.

Running AMD/AMD right now for cpu/gfx, and I’m happy with my gaming laptop (and it’s price point).

Linux support and general support of open source was amajor factor in my decision. Intel is also really good on the CPU front, but I want to support AMD for its ooen source and speedy graphics offerings.

I’m solely in the camp of who the fuck cares, anyway.

I mean, you brought it up…

It’s like btrfs, but faster, and less prone to data loss.

Oppenheimer wasn’t easy, it’s true. But I rate Barbie below it because it’s current.
