one of the big results out of the various UBI trials so far is that even with so-called “freeloaders”, overall productivity goes up – and we can see similar results in housing (providing housing for the unhoused saves money for the whole society) and health care (taking care of everyone costs less than gatekeeping whether you “qualify”)

No right wing wave in Finland as Left Alliance take record result in EU elections (yle.fi)

Finland’s results in the European election bucked a continent-wide trend of rising support for parties on the outer fringe of right-wing politics, with the Left Alliance and the National Coalition winning big at the expense of the nationalist Finns Party....

  • repeat the “Don’t sweat it.”
  • Ubuntu is a perfectly fine starting point (the other “beginner distro” that’s commonly recommended is LinuxMint)
  • »AFTER« you become comfortable with what you have:
    • try familiarizing yourself with the command line
    • get overwhelmed with all the distro choices available
      • get bitten by the distro-hopping bug (“Gotta try them all!”)
        • and then try Distrobox (“ALL the distros at once!”)
  • »THEN« take a look at immutable distros
    • “immutable distro” is a catch-all term that embraces several concepts
      • immutable – the root filesystem is set to read-only – makes it harder to mess up your system
      • declarative – your hardware and packages and configs are declared in a master configuration file
      • atomic / transactional – updates are checked as they’re applied, if it fails, it gets rolled back to a previous “safe state”
      • container / sandbox – ex. Flatpak or Docker or OCI – apps are isolated in their own sandbox and not allowed to mess up anything else

why are people so terrified of the terminal?

cerement,
@cerement@slrpnk.net avatar
  • you have to figure out what the icons are and which menu holds which command
  • in a GUI, only the basic options are laid out for you – newcomers regularly assume something can’t be done because the option isn’t there rather trying to find out if the option has just been moved to a completely different area of the UI
  • GUIs regularly freeze up with even less indication of what’s going on (do you wait a few seconds or half an hour when the beach ball isn’t spinning)
  • (on a side note, GUIs are generally a nightmare for accessibility options)

@cerement@slrpnk.net avatar

this explains caution, wariness, concern, unfamiliarity with the terminal – it doesn’t explain the revulsion people show to even the thought of the terminal as a partner to a GUI

A new poll shows trouble for Biden with young voters, especially among voters of color (www.npr.org)

It found that just one-third of all young Americans said they would back Biden if the election was held at the time the survey was conducted. The poll also reflects a virtual tie in the race. Biden leads former President Donald Trump by just two points, and 34% of respondents are currently backing a third-party candidate or said...

people are getting sick and tired of having to vote for “the lesser of two evils” – and the DNC refuses to give us anything other than a Lesser Evil – “we’ll push him left after the election” – no, you fucking won’t, he’s just gonna keep ratcheting right

I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. … The Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season”. Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.

that Hillary lost to a piece of shit, rapist, plague on society, convicted felon – that Biden just barely squeaked by a piece of shit, rapist, plague on society, convicted felon – that Biden is only two points ahead of a piece of shit, rapist, plague on society, convicted felon – that the DNC refuses to give us anyone who won’t just pull even with a piece of shit, rapist, plague on society, convicted felon

I asked Justin Trudeau’s Liberals why they broke a promise to ban three controversial police practices. Their answer says a lot (www.thestar.com)

As a general rule, I hate opinion pieces as I feel that they are a major contributor to our slide towards ‘facts don’t matter’ US style political rhetoric. That said, I thought this was an interesting and fact driven piece that if anything was too easy on the RCMP. Sharing a journalist’s request for information with the...

‘Villengard battle products are fitted with AI,’ the Doctor explains. ‘The algorithm maintains a fighting force at just above the acceptable number of casualties – keeps you fighting, keeps you dying, keeps you buying. Medical services optimise the casualty rate for continued conflict. War is conflict … and business is booming. You are fighting your own hardware and it’s killing you to keep you buying more.’ [emphasis added]

18+ What are the differences between the 'base' of various Linux distributions?

I’ve been using linux desktop for a year or so now. One noteable thing i keep seeing is that one person will say I dont like XYZ distrobution because of its base. But I am still a little unsure what is meant by it. I am assuming the main difference between each base is the choice of package management(?). But what other...

“Another potential hypothesis is that the increasing negativity, polarization, intrusiveness, and emotional manipulation in social media has created a persistent cognitive overload on the finite cognitive resources we have,” Quantic Foundry said. “Put simply, we may be too worn out by social media to think deeply about things.”

in other words, we’re burnt out and we just want some escapism …
