Never had as bad an experience with Linux as on a Macbook, and that includes Dell laptops in the early '10s. Sound doesn’t work, sleep doesn’t work either. Beyond that the keyboard is screwed up and double types all the time, which is totally unreasonable on a laptop ~5 years old.

Especially when most games that’ve come out this year run like shit, and a new graphics card is nearly a rent payment

technically libreoffice exists, they really need to fix office comparability though

It seems like since my generation had “If you put something on the Internet it’ll be there forever” drilled into us as kids, many of us feel entitled to “the internet” preserving our data for us. Most people don’t realize how much labor and resource usage goes into preserving data forever.

Idk about Amsterdam, but in a lot of places half of a comparable rent might be his whole mortgage, depending on how long he’s owned the property.

What’s your setup for self hosting? Do you use a vps or host on your own network?

Kagi is the same as ddg 99% of the time.

I’ve been happy with Qwant lately, they have their own index so using them doesn’t support the Google + Bing hegemony. They’re also EU based and regulated by the gdpr.

Tried kagi due to all the yapping here on lemmy, 99% of the results are exactly the same as ddg, no matter what their “x% unique kagi results” says, which just strikes me as dishonest. If they’re going to lie to me about things I can check, why would I trust them when they say they don’t log or track?

There’s definitely some kind of astroturf marketing campaign going on here, this guy’s only interaction with the fediverse is posting a link to some softball piece review of an incredibly underwhelming service.

I don’t know if I’d really call this an issue, workers at companies generally start unions because they’re being pushed into untenable hours and subsistence living without an escape. When you can jump from a sinking ship and add 15-20% to your salary you’re just in a very different situation. There are risks to getting serious about organizing a union, especially in tech where the vast majority shops aren’t union. You could end up tied to whatever company you’re at currently for the rest of your career, since I’d imagine many non union shops would blacklist you from hiring if they found out you attempted to organize at a previous job. It’s also difficult to get enough people on board for unionization when almost everyone in your department likely has the option to leave for a similar pay bump. The benefits of unionization are much less tangible for tech workers, who generally lead pretty comfortable lives, than professions that are tipically unionized like tradespeople or factory workers.

Indeed, I bought a different brand thinking it’d be the same because the recipe is public, boy was I wrong 🤮

Plus 99.9% of people will never think of doing that

It kinda crazy you can’t do this, wasn’t Microsoft forced to let you change default browsers in an antitrust suit?

Now it’ll go to some private equity vampire who will really ruin it

He basically is, he states that I hunter gathering societies that much less work was done, but significantly more in farming societies as a response to another poster saying specialization and careers are a significant contributor to the free time we do have. If he’s not suggesting a hunting society is better I don’t know what the point of his comment is.

If a 47 year old is gonna date someone who’s 80, what grounds would you have to say that isn’t ok?

That would then mean we would have to support the entire food supply on hunting rather than farming for this to be true, so basically 90% of the population would have to die

Yeah I’d really have a hard time dating someone who is likely still living with their parents if I’d been on my own a year or two. I wouldn’t consider making the relationship serious until I knew they could stand on their own feet.

Plus in any relationship there are wants and needs being met by the relationship that would be withdrawn if the relationship were to end. Mutual benefit is why you get into a long term relationship in the first place.

I’ve been getting around this by being really free with the community block button. But I’ve also had decent luck finding alts of the communities I used to use on reddit
