I tend to just copy my dotfiles over between machines. I’m not a fan of declarative management and even less of immutable OS’es.

I know but I don’t really care whether my OS is good for normal users. In fact the more it is the less I’ll like it.

Normal users love someone taking control and all their data and telling them what’s what. A “Linux for the masses” will be inevitably pure trash, something akin to ChromeOS now (which is kinda already linux for the masses). They literally want all the things we hate. For a company to know everything about them, to take all their data, to tell them what they can do and they can’t so they feel ‘safe’.

As soon as Linux becomes a masses thing, it means lots of money can be made off it, and companies will jump on it to enshittify it as much as they can. So I’m really hoping that “the year of Linux on the desktop” will never happen.

You know you can change the hotkeys and window decorations right? That’s the great thing about KDE. You have choices.

Why ‘still’? Linux is only getting better and other options are getting worse.

Yeah if the people didn’t want it they simply wouldn’t give their kids smartphones in such large numbers. Or give them unsupervised computer access.

It’s just the conservatives virtue signalling.

The narrative usually is that liberal policies (allowing LGBT and minorities to exist peacefully) result in LGBT and minorities taking over every aspect of life, so the average person will be forced to be gay or trans and their daughters will have to take black husbands or whatever.

Which never actually happened like ever. We just want to be who we are. There’s no movement to make everyone gay, that’s insane to even think that.

Same as the republicans getting their knickers in a knot over trans athletes. Which are few and far between and aren’t actually that successful because HRT makes you a lot weaker if you are MtF. It’s just an imaginary issue.

Same as the toilet thing they get all worked up about. The men molesting women are cis men.

Yeah exactly. Liberals here are right wing capitalists. And often conservative.

They are kinda the same as the liberals in the US but that’s because US doesn’t really know any real left wing. So it’s right wing democrats or extreme-right republicans.

That makes liberalism seem somehow progressive but it isn’t really.

He’s not actually very liberal from what I’m reading. He’s pro EU and not a Putin puppet but other than that his policies aren’t all that different from Orban’s. He was even in Fidesz until a few years ago.

I wonder if there will be much improvement for the LGBTQ community there.

But at least the Ukrainian payments stalemate is broken.

Ok the 1/10th is a bit exaggerated. But it is far less than in the US.

You don’t have to do your development in silicon valley though. If they do it in Europe or even India it’ll be a lot cheaper

Ah no I wasn’t joking, I didn’t get that, lol. It was also that the pic showed only for half a sec before a popup appeared to pay for the site.

Thanks!

Ps e-fish-ient lol

This is only going to increase as jobs are displaced by AI. I don’t condone violence against people even shady ones like Altman. But I would kinda grin at the first AI datacenter burnt down by protesters to be honest.

In the longer term I expect those to get prison style security.

Makes sense. Apple’s customers are a lot less price-sensitive. And also, memory and storage are naturally a much larger part is the price in a $150 smartphone than in a $1000 one. Apple doesn’t do the $150 class at all.

You see that kind of smartphone a lot here in Spain where purchasing power is a lot lower than in the US. Still a lot of people using things like wired headphones too.

Why is there a can of salmon in the picture??

He is and he always was as prime minister too. We called him Teflon Mark because he kept coming back scandal after scandal. Shit just doesn’t cling to him. That’s really the main thing he’s good at, laughing problems away. And being a puppet for big corporations which is what his party was always about.

In that sense he fits in well with Trump. No substance.

Russia won’t attack Europe any time soon. The war in Ukraine has already drawn them out so much. In the long term I do consider Russia a threat to Europe but right now they’re not one really.

I think his internal policy is really great too, I live in Spain myself.

But the nazi forces are rising here too which will be an issue in the next election. Here it’s called Vox.

I wish more world leaders were like Sanchez. 👏The world wouldn’t be the mess it is now.

I don’t see the point. For gaming 8 cores is better and for other purposes the 3D cache doesn’t really help much.

I think it’s more bragging rights this way.

True, and they trained Osama Bin Laden as well when he was in the mudjaheddeen.

Really when does this stuff ever work out?
