Maybe we should cripple ourselves

Naaaaah

Maybe we can become rich and dominate others

That’s what’s actually on their mind.

The entire right-wing propaganda goes as: “if you work hard and make smart choices, you’ll become rich too and will be able to exploit others for your benefit”. The rest are seen as passive doomer mob that just aren’t dedicated enough, and so end up subjugated by the alphas who pushed hard to pursue their dream (to dominate others and live a rich life on their backs).

This kind of propaganda works beautifully well on young folks who didn’t yet get to experience just how hard and unlikely it is to build a successful business or high-payed career, especially without compromising on one’s principles.

About 10th, really

Servo and Ladybird are both worth keeping an eye on, but neither is even close to be ready yet, unfortunately

Managers are normally wage slaves, too

Microsoft’s Windows chief Pavan Davuluri had earlier hinted at such plans already about how the next evolution of OS will make it capable enough to “semantically understand you” as Windows will get “more ambient, more pervasive, more multi-modal”. Using features like Copilot Vision it will be able to “look at your screen” and do more.

Since when did corpos try to reframe the word “pervasive” as something positive?

Aside from a really good advice on putting activity before home, make sure you sleep enough.

While it may sound tempting to have a few extra hours in the evening, the way you spend them when you’re exhausted is meaningless.

When you get proper sleep, you may have a bit less time on your hands, but you can actually turn the time you do have into something nice - and finally get the kind of rest you deserve.

Trust me - you’ll thank yourself for this when you find out you still have energy after your work.

With that energy, you can not only go to wherever you want to go, you can also make the home a nicer place. Make yourself a spa evening. Watch autumn movies with tea and cookies. Read a book. Whatever strikes your fancy and makes you relaxed and…at home.

Poowned

First they laughed at Russians

Then they laughed at Chinese

Now they laugh at Americans and Brits

Who’s gonna laugh the last?

No system is good enough to prevent abuse and dismantling of democracy. Europeans already lose footing and need radical action to stop repeating same mistakes. Authoritarians are already knocking on the doors, and they will not be quiet.

Or a metal health room

Interesting

X11 is heavily outdated and vulnerable, but it features one thing Wayland doesn’t: it works with everything.

So, if Wayland checks your points, go Wayland. If something breaks - X11 is there to back you up.

It is! But the extent to which it is used is limited by the efficiency losses that come with electrolysis, logistics, and reverse conversion.

I assume it could still be useful in applications that require long hauls, as dragging a heavy and expensive battery around can negate efficiency benefits over the long runs.

Sounds fun! Can see how well it runs on Linux.

Not dismissing the idea that it might be for real, but random man being able to grope the literal President sounds kinda sus.

I’m not super into Mexican politics, but doesn’t she have guard on duty to prevent just that?

About 4 hours for me

This. “Did I wash X already? Does it feel clean? Am I sure?”

If you say something on Lemmy, people will guess you refer to Linux

Again, I’m not saying you should prompt AI to draw everything for you. There are tools that allow you to enhance the quality of your work using AI as a “make this, but properly” option. The person is still there, making the drafts.

Learning to draw again is not my current priority (focusing on other aspects of self-development at the moment), but I always appreciate the resources and revisit them once I come to it. I do not abandon the idea, and if you have resources that work well with the issue of being able to produce random shapes, I’d always welcome and appreciate them.

People don’t crave the system, they rather come to places that are advertised to them.

What they crave is:

• Easy onboarding without figuring out what is an “instance” (a concept entirely unknown to them), and which instances are good vs bad for them;
• A trusted place that won’t become unavailable or buggy because an admin is performing an update or screwed something up or decided they don’t want to do this anymore;
• Some sort of algorithm to filter out crap out of their feed (not having any algorithm is often not good);
• Having their favorite creators and friends on the platform (which, again, boils out to advertising for a large part);

etc.

Fediverse as a whole and Mastodon in particular is yet to answer to a lot of these challenges.
