Reading up on the GitHub page, it has a few concerning WIPs. Might not be worth swapping to a different DE.

My most recent example with EndeavorOS was trying out KDE which I thought looked really smart on the desktop. Then it started glitching. Arch tends to be bleeding edge so that makes sense. But it meant I had to make a new choice of distribution or DE.

But Debian based Ubuntu? On Virtualbox? That seems a bit off. Maybe LTS would provide the stability you need.

I guess because development is decentralised, that you end up with developers working on different packages and when they update one it has a ripple effect on other packages.

You make a good case. In my more simple case, I need efficient and smart looking PowerPoints and no foss alternative can beat office 2016. And dozens of programs are windows only. I’ve tinkered with wine/play on Linux before and it just doesn’t work out of the box for the majority of programs.

I’ve got two F710s and they’re reliable enough. I wouldn’t trust them in pro gaming though.

If I got in the sub and saw one of these used to steer it, I’d be very concerned. I know they’re not really blaming Logitech; just taking one of these out of the plastic packaging and saying ‘OK, now we’ve got steering and propulsion!’ is not really a safety culture to get behind.

Profit 😕

I agree CCTV is a bit invasive…depends on the tenants! If I were a landlord with some tenants of concern, I’d have washing machines facing away from CCTV so no laundry is on camera!

‘Free laundry machines’ could essentially be included in the rent, provided laundry machines are used properly and intentional damage paid for. I would be okay with CCTV being employed to ensure this. An extra $10 for water usage, and everyone uses their own detergent.

But does that make sense for capitalists?

Aphex Twin hearing it for the first time was probably all like “Where’s my audiovosualiser?”

I just saw a variety of usages and nothing to indicate the standard use of this meme lol

So Xbox bought the studio about 3 years ago and then just went ‘nah, not profitable.’ Fuck Xbox.

Reminds me of suicidelinux

De-googled chromium works for me.

That’s gonna smell tomorrow.

I’ve seen Fedora lauded for being so responsive, and I’d probably go for that over the super bloated Ubuntu. I know it’s not debloated either but that is preferable over dealing with Arch which needs a lot of tinkering time which eats into my work time.

Why would I post anything about it? It’s my vacation and I would be drinking too much to even bother posting about it.

I might even catch up on my planning and research (as a teacher it’s a treat to actually develop as a teacher when there’s time).

YouTube already did the math, as did almost every single company and corporation on the planet.

There’s a lot more revenue in advertising than subscriptions, especially on a website that started off entirely free (so Netflix for example goes in the subscription model rather than the advertising model but that seems to have changed!)

There’s a mass of people who follow up on these advertisements. The latest advertisements I’ve encountered on YouTube are really really calculated and well scripted. For example the digital dollar advertisements sound like they’re going to save you from financial ruin. It’s clever and it’s working. Money is pouring in.

The Chinese consumers have been eating up ads like that for their TVs to power on for roughly half a decade at least. I’m talking Xiaomi. Chinese consumers are the perfect ad(shit)-eating consumer; so docile and they like to burn money (I mean, they do…literally).

sudo pacman -S

is virtually the only command I used as a beginner.

But that said, you may install from the AUR using yay.

I found out previously just use yay. Don’t do sudo yay. It’s not necessary and not 100% of AUR packages are guaranteed to be clean: omitting sudo will keep them out of root.

On Android, app just updated.

It got on the news. They sacrificed their jobs for that at least.

Uh…profit? They only have one religion in China.
