exanime,

We need to check what calendar is fElon on… He keeps saying “next year” for shit that doesn’t happen… Maybe he is from the future!

Lol

“Complete Dehumanization”: Israel Killed Over 800 Palestinians in 11 Days (truthout.org)

From June 1 to June 11, Israeli forces killed over 800 Palestinians and wounded over 2,400 as they carried out bombardments and raids across Gaza, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) reported. This is an average of over 72 Palestinians killed each day at the hands of Israeli forces....

exanime,

I’m sure this time, unlike the prior times in the last 5000 years, slaughter will bring lasting peace

/S

exanime,

The title reads: “we can solve the climate crisis, but we won’t”

exanime,

All these claims are simply taking a look at a different angle.

It’s like saying “cars pollute” and you reply with “but have you seen the beautiful colours they come in and how much faster than mules they are”

You are not wrong but neither are the people claiming humans are, as a herd, fairly dumb and incredibly selfish

exanime,

Have we? Or do we just call it something else and make sure not to look?

exanime,

wtf? by what standard?

if the climate change inaction (or worse, sabotage) did not convince you, I am certain the COVID behaviour should have

Humans frequently band together during disaster

If they are directly affected sure… otherwise people may throw some money (which is usually promptly embezzled) and move on

humans care for their young and old

Their own young, sure let’s say that is the common majority. Their own old? a lot more questionable. Other people’s LOL… can’t tell you how many people complain about their taxes feeding other people’s children. But this is not an argument against what I claimed… what I said was basically echoing what Tommy Lee Jones beautifully said in MIB, in a nutshell: a human (as an individual) can be AMAZING, but humans (as a herd) tend to default to he lowest common denominator and that sucks!

humans don’t typically engage in cannibalism of the weak

what do you think capitalism is?

humans rarely fight to the death or even serious injury

Ok, now you are joking… no matter how old you are, I know with 100% accuracy that you have never lived in a world where, somewhere, there was a military conflict and people were being slaughtered… I know because we have not had such a time since 1816 (and that may just have been an absence of records)

exanime,

Again you are missing the point.

I know many great individuals, it’s the masses I fear

You won’t know the masses by knowing a few people. You learn by studying history and looking at statistics

exanime,

I’m actually quite older… And as you get older you’ll see how the masses do not act as their individual parts

exanime,

It’s a well documented sociological phenomena… maybe read a book before raging

exanime,

So translating Musk to reality, they probably have 2 robotic arms working of a pre programmed algorithm that make them go back and forward

exanime,

Translation: power hungry man sees a chance to gain power and disregards the cost

exanime,

When you run an engineering company as a business, you wind up with no business at all

exanime,

There’s nothing inherent to running a business that implies cannibalizing one’s own brand reputation for short term profits

True but only for a snapshot in time. When the expectation of the environment is unlimited growth and profit above all else, the quick cash out in lieu of long term gains is inevitable sooner or later

You can find countless examples of businesses where the brand’s reputation for quality, reliability, and safety are considered sacred and any employee who publicly damages that reputation is ostracized. Japanese companies pretty commonly have these cultures, for example.

Oh outside of the USA yes, I can see that… In the USA, I think I would count such examples with 1 hand (talking about large companies and corporations, not Mom and Pop shops of course)

exanime,

I mean, the USA has a Supreme Court Justice literally taking bribes from a billionaire who has stakes in FOUR cases this judge has not recused himself… and literally NOTHING has happened.

Do you really think this recording will do anything?

exanime,

Totally fair… And honestly good practice, otherwise it just becomes “normal”

exanime,

They want to prove to themselves that their vote still matters.

Voting ultra right because of this is like trying to prove life is worth living by eating a bullet

exanime, (edited )

2008, the global financial crash, the subsequent shift of trillions of all the currencies towards the already-rich, then Covid hammering the final nail in the coffin of proving that governments care about the people only inasmuch as they provide value.

I get the frustration, but where is the evidence the far right would care an iota more about people? Specially during covid almost every far right government did worse, in terms of actual dead people, than any left one

exanime,

Donna??

exanime,

In my experience the VAST majority of people that say things are hard on Linux have never actually tried it …

Same with people that complain cats are not LoYAl lIkE DOgS… They have never had cats

exanime,

Exactly right!.. It’s like saying dogs are dumb because they don’t learn words like a parrot would

exanime,

Most pet dogs don’t do work either… Show me a herder chihuahua or a fox hunting mastif

But again this is a dumb comparison… Why doesn’t your dog repeat words like my parrot? It it dumb? Is it inferior? Or perhaps it’s just another species?

Cats are naturally very effective as mousers, humans used them centuries in ships and they were so valuable because they preserved food stock and prevented disease… Show me a dog doing that specific job it was not bread for… No? There you go, dogs are inferior

exanime,

You may have misunderstood my point… All I’m saying it’s stupid to compare species based on the attributes of one.

exanime,

I’m not having a great time with DisplayLink driver support, personally

We used this for work and I had a bit of a hard time setting up 4 years ago when covid hit… I eventually was able to but later on moved on to a different set up.

We still use it on Windows when I go to the office (once a week) and it still shit there

If you post specifics I may be able to help you.

Various applications I use with mixed levels of support too, along with missing out on Windows specific GPU features.

well yes… Windows specific stuff is not usually available in Linux… unless we are talking about gaming which is catching up really quick

The biggest difficulty is that my accumulated support knowledge of like 20 years is useless and I am relearning basic issue identification and resolution processes.

Yes, it’s a different OS… not sure if you were expecting any differently but this is the power of the walled gardens… you learn to live in them and then find it hard to do anything differently… IMO the transition was worth it for me… I hope it is for you

The internet being a raging dumpster fire, support is kind of patchy on more niche topics. All the good, useful discussions are largely happening behind closed doors at this point on everyone’s Discords and whatnot.

This is what I disagree with… that has not been my experience AT ALL. The worst I can say about online support for Linux is that, some communities, are a little caustic (looking at you Arch support, although you do have great online help posted).

If anything, when I can’t seem to find anything regarding something I am looking for, I have defaulted to realizing I may not be asking the right question… RARELY discussions for Linux support happen behind closed doors… it’s just not even in the spirit of the Linux communities. Again, if you’d like to post specifics maybe we can help

exanime,

I’m going to try to take this in the spirit that it was provided, but you’re using a lot of "…"s,

No ill will intended. You must be young and I’m old, my kids constantly complain about my abuse of the “…” They say I always sound ominous

The only part my intention was to sound like “well, yes that’s obvious” was the part where you missed some windows specific GPU functions

For the rest I was meaning to say that I recognize those problems but didnt find them insurmountable at the time I had to face them.

I still have to deal with windows today because of work and I find the amount of orphan issues (or issues with no solution 3 years after reporting) saddening because I rarely see that in the Linux community

True, I may be “over the hump” in terms of the initial learning curve but I encourage you to keep at it, you’ll find it enjoyable in no time

exanime,

BTW, told my kids about your comment on my abuse of the “…” and they choked laughing for like half an hour. So there is that hehehehe

exanime,

We all love icecream but who’d love turd icecream?

Because I don’t get who’d want to use an MS Linux distro

exanime,

It’s mandated? How come? Sorry I’m out of the loop

exanime,

I don’t get why would that be disappointing?

exanime,

How is it orchestrated? What you see is what nature did. The water can be controlled somewhat because of engineering but it doesn’t change the features of the fall as nature made it

I’m not arguing against you, just not getting your perspective (which I’m just trying to understand)

exanime,

I mean, they put lights on with colours at night… And there is a whole boulevard built around them so you can see them better

Would you call that orchestrated?

exanime,

Ok, I think I get your point now!

Cheers!

exanime,

Absolutely and has been the case for years…

Have no fear, the Penguin is friendly

exanime,

Iceraven for the win!

exanime,

“Other people are worse”. Irrelevant to the problem unless you want to go start doing vigilante justice.

I wouldn’t say irrelevant to the problem… Most of the stuff we as individuals can do, amount to trying to put out a tire fire by clapping… Even millions of us won’t make almost any difference, specially when you have 10 assholes who, instead of clapping are actively pouring gas on the fire

I’m 100% on board with the clapping… But I’m not kidding myselft that we are going to save ourselves until we eliminate the firebugs

exanime,

Same, I lurked around a lot and thought it would be useful one day of I had a question … I’m just an avid DIYer and out of maybe 10 times I decided to ask, I got 1 solid answer… Everything else were wild guesses or just trolls

exanime,

$10 a month happy? Not being an ass, just really asking… I thought it was steep when I checked it out the first time

exanime,

Why? Are they running low on choices to diddle?

exanime, (edited )

As long as they can work independently, yes. If they are modular and a distro admin (or just a computer admin) can choose to install and use systemd-x but not install or use systemd-y, we are in good business

Now if you have to take a few you don’t like or need to use so that the one component you do want works, then no

I honestly don’t know enough of systemd to say either way

exanime,

Good to know, thanks for the answer

exanime,

Thanks for being brave enough to ask the question I was too cowardly to post

exanime,

I’m running Garuda as a daily driver for work and casual gaming. No problems

Before I was running debian and loved it as well

Ubuntu was a good intro but I left them when they made Unity default (and not ready imo) and was surprised to find I never missed it

exanime,

As far as I can tell none of the options listed are quite suitable. They are either to unstable or way to out of date. I like Rocky Linux but it doesn’t seem to be desktop focused as far as I can tell. I would use Debian but Debian doesn’t have the greatest security defaults. (No selinux profiles out of the box)

Check your requirements … I get that you may need 2 year support and you cannot control that, but are you really going to dismiss one of the greatest Linux distros of all time because the “defaults” are not to your liking? You know you can configure it however you want after the installation right?

If you are going to value stability and nice wallpaper with the same importance, you’ll never find a “quite suitable” match

exanime,

MacOS is like taking an athlete (Linux), dressing it up as a K-pop band member and tying it to a post so they can only move in a specific way and sing the same song.

Why would anyone want that when you can have the pure, raw performance and stamina of the athele and make with them whatever you’d like?

exanime,

Yes, *nix

Over 30 pro-Palestine protesters arrested at Ohio State: what we know (www.nbc4i.com)

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – Ohio State University police and the Ohio State Highway Patrol arrested about three dozen people Thursday night for staging a pro-Palestine encampment on campus – carrying out what is likely the highest number of protest-related arrests there since the Vietnam War....

exanime,

You sound bitter… Let me guess, you couldn’t get into one?

exanime,

Back to Reddit troll

exanime,

I’ve been using it for my daily driver for work and casual gaming with no issues for 4 months now (Garuda Linux)

exanime,

they are just forcing the company to divest from it’s Chinese parent company.
