Interesting comparing the situation described in this article to china apparently solving addiction of youths to online gaming this year in a matter of months.

• bring visibility to bourgeois parasites doing environmental damage
• make bourgeois parasites feel uncomfortable
• highlight the hollowness of Elon’s free speech gesturing by getting banned from Twitter

My employer uses ubuntu for operations, and so I have experience using it in that settings. My thoughts:

• It’s basically fine, it’s well-supported by third party PPAs (i.e., apt repos) so it’s generally possible to install arbitrary versions of popular open source daemons (e.g., postgres, redis), it’s been on systemd for a while, which despite some people’s criticisms, I find to Just Work, so I like it.
• snap is annoying and I wish canonical would stop trying to make it a thing
• apt’s default is to automatically enable and start daemon systemd units on installation, which IMO is highly questionable

For desktop, I like Arch too much to use Ubuntu or any other fixed-release distro.

Please hook me up.

The purpose of VOA writing about this is manufacturing consent among the public for when the govt helicopter money starts pouring onto tech companies for “innovation” which will manifest as massive PR spend and share buybacks.

Private capital has no national allegiance. If bolstering the u.s. tech sector doesn’t increase margins, it isn’t going to happen.

Dunno what the star thingy is but the sticky things look kinda like beginners chopsticks.

Fuck yeah, this looks very nice. I run navidrome and would love a good desktop app.
