I’m in the same situation but also use windows for Ableton and protocols. My steamdeck has really convinced me that Linux is ready for gaming tho

100%. The enshittification is accelerating. Which is leading people to Linux hopefully

Was techie. Hated vista with a passion. 7 was waaaay better

Yeah, remote work. Really did a number on the economy didn’t it. As in improved profits.

The only people hurt by WFH are micromanagers and the commercial real estate mortgage backed securities investor class

Really tho push to prod Friday that’s a fukkin great idea

See what they should be doing in the FOSS community is loading up that kernel with bloatware that sends ‘anonymous’ telemetry to third parties to maximize profits for the shareholders at penguin central…

What is dead can never die

Plus one on the hacked Kobe. Even replaced the battery. All these books, right there.

Ledes that sound like sad trombone

Yeah tar is easy. Regex on the other hand…

So glad I abandoned that enshittified platform when they removed 3rd party apis.

It’s just garbage now. Like Twitter, Facebook, let them all disappear into the dustbin of Edetritus history.

THE FEDIVERSE IS REAL THEY ARE FICTION ITS THAT SIMPLE

You make a lot of good points. What I’m saying is simply that I don’t want to be in a social situation where I am forced to befriend someone who holds the sword. The top down structure makes friendship inherently disingenuous. Friendship can only happen when you are equals.

That’s a strawman argument. Of course we should be civil. WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY as George Costanza likes to remind us. I simply object to the false comradery that tries to paint a picture of caring about the workers while simultaneously reducing benefits and pay. Behind the ‘social’ nice mask is a machine controlled by stakeholders.

Exactly. Unless we are on equal terms which is impossible in corporate top down structure, the relationship is transactional. Nothing more. I work, stakeholders pay me less than the value I created and pocket the difference.

I think disingenuous snakes that only pretend to give a shit are assholes.

The entire relationship is transactional. It is top to bottom. The bottom got no vote, no rights and if the top ain’t pleased the bottom gets no food housing or healthcare.

So yeah, no. If you as a manager were told by your boss that there were ‘redundancies’ that needed to be addressed, no problem. Fire away. But if the people below say you know maybe let’s unionize, then they are usually first to be fired. I’m sure as a manager that’s just common sense.

The only thing capitalism loves more than prision labour is actual slavery. It keeps the economy humming. Oh and then there’s ‘migrant’ labour, child labour, a minimum wage that hasn’t changed in decades, internships, gig jobs with no security at all… Best system ever
