I think Elon is kind of the exception he posts on twitter way too much to be doing any real work lmao. He’s essentially a brand guy and all his companies try to keep him away from the real work (I think he wanted the spaceX rocket to use Windows???)
In 2040s do we just move our brains into our own self hosted data centers?
when was the last such case
People will surrender all ownership if you can provide more content more cheaper and conveniently, ownership is much lower on most people’s priority than convenience
Arch is truly just a gamblers distro
damn was born the wrong color. Unfortunate
its kind of crazy how much I used to use the AUR, Was just randomly running randoms peoples scripts to install packages.
where do people live where people just talk to each other in public, I feel like I need to move their.
I live in the USA and it fine? Maybe its a walmart thing though I never go to walmart
Actually to expand on this, you can kind of do the opposite, for example you can launder federated social media if that federated social also contains something people actually want. Then relying on network effect/cultural inertia to keep you relevant
crack walked so fent could run
My work just handed me a laptop then let me flash whatever distro I wanted onto it
Welcome to the club!
Ive kind of noticed how we essentially use fancy tech to solve problems we already have solutions for.
What I find interesting about the framing of this, aswell as how docker is framed as a whole, is that its essentially just the argument for static linking (So some extent also deterministic builds). You can get alot of the benefits of “shipping your computer” without needing an OS that supports cgroups and all this other stuff. Containers existed for a long time until docker was able to essentially push it as a packaging format. Now yes containers ARE useful but I think what we were really doing was trying to get rid of distro dependency management, but we could only do it through the lens of a fancy new technology.
Maybe if we bring back Bernie math we convince Donnie we deported all the immigrants already?
Its funny since lots of revolutions only really succeeded due to another state actor involved. Imagine being against the Haitian revolution because you think its just some psyop by the Americans to harm the French
edit: To clarify I don’t know if the Haitians NEEDED the US, but the US did help
The “Everything America supports” is bad virus, many such cases. I think Foucoult wrote a bunch of papers in support of the Iran regime when they got rid of the Western backed government (Not to say I support that government). Did not age well…
Pretty much all the distros I use if I install like kde or hyprland it appears as an option in the login screen. Its a little cluttered since you have overlapping gnome and kde apps but I feel like people distrohop alot when they could just install a new DE
Arch is harder so install to as a recommendation its harder than the others. Though I think the last time I installed it was years ago ik theirs like a graphical installer now??? How the mighty have fallen
But yeah Gentoo is like in a league of its own
Maybe this is true at smaller companies or old ones but the wlb as you go up in tech usually just gets worse, Finance it like starts really bad in IB but gets passable as you go up (like 60 hours a week). Alot of this is inflated by time people just doing nothing but saying these directors are not stressed seems laughable. My mom was one and as a kid it was noticeable how much she was constantly stressed about work when she was at home or on the weekend (On the weeks she did not work over the weekends lmao). When she retired it was like night and day. Upper management is like Game of Thrones without all the death
You can argue that this is just a byproduct of Capitalism and top down hierarchies and alot of the work was not really work and we should tear it all down (I agree mostly). But your other solution is bottom up hierarchy (basically using representatives, I wouldn’t say running government is exactly chill???) or just no hierarchy (Only viable if we all live in self sufficient communes which is pretty based),
Also mentioning caffeine is kind of funny, thats like the tip of the iceberg, these execs and finance bros are all doing coke and meth or some other type of stimulant. All I do is design computer systems and yell at claude to code them faster. Obviously theirs alot worse jobs than being a exec its def on the upper end of the distribution, wouldn’t call it easy imo
