  • Loan interests and money I disagree with. Unless we get to a point where everything is in abundance and commerce isn’t needed anymore I feel like a common item we can agree the value of for goods and services is a pretty neat idea.

    Similarly I don’t think interest is inherently evil. If i lend you money to buy something large that will take years to pay off, I wouldn’t want to lose a bunch of money with inflation. But predatory rates that bet on you defaulting can burn in hell. It’s disgusting that the whole fintech industry exists purely to maximise interest and debt at the cost of those who depends on those services the most.



  • I upgraded from 22 to 24 as well. Cosmic is nice and can be used as a daily driver, but not quite there for a power user. I’ve installed KDE and like it quite a bit so far. But how has no one made a file browser that can match or beat thunar yet? Like the mist basic things like selecting and copying from the address bar and click and drag to select multiple items without needing to start from some empty space at the bottom!

    Jpeg XL is such an unsexy name though. (In my opinion) JPEG is already seen as an ancient format, there are plenty of even main stream memes about it’s artifacting quirks. And now you just want to slap more stuff on it? Make it extra large. Sounds like bloat to me!

    To be real for a second; I’m sure it’s a fine format and suited for the future, but the name really does put me off it a bit 😄





  • Pretty much the entire OSM sphere is developed and populated by volunteers. And they you come along and say they should take their heads out of their ass. Yes, the burden is on the users, because the developers are users themselves. No, not everyone has programming skills, but even nontechnical people can still contribute to the dataset with bus station locations and bus routes.

    It’s completely okay to not use a piece of software, and if you have some feedback to give that might sway you, great! But don’t insult the developers because they have limited time and resources.










  • What are these “most basic, essential” tasks you’re struggling with? Outside of trying to get Discord to screen share nicely with Baulders gate 3 and the one time I accidentally overwrote the python 3 install and broken it, it has been pretty pain free. And I code with both .NET and with Android Studio, I do plenty of gaming, and some photo editing. All things beyond the most basic of tasks and I rarely run into issues.

    Have I broken a Linux install? Yep. But I’ve also bricked a handful of Windows systems poking around in the registry.
