$0.05 yearly raise and an employee pizza party, take it or leave it.

Gee, we’re so sorry, but we’d have to draft up a new bill and then vote on it and then in 1+ years when that bill doesn’t pass we will have to draft up a shittier one that still won’t pass

All the bureaucracy is suddenly smooth sailing when they want to bomb the fuck out of kids in the middle east, but all these weird rules and regulations are in the way of anything remotely challenging their interests.

Weird how democracy works that way. Almost like that’s the point!

In addition to that, it would be nice to see comparisons including xlibre, since it is slowly being adopted by certain distros and bsds.

Windows 11 was categorical dogshit at launch, people just seem to accept it when Microsoft shits out garbage.

There was some good stuff back in the 10 insider previews but by launch 10 was also trash. Genuinely when has windows been good after 7?

Sounds right to me. Aren’t we just larping? /J

I never liked my jobs until I found one that I did. I work as a meat cutter (I cut primals into subprimals). It’s a job I could see myself doing even in a post revolutionary society. The people I work with are all pretty chill too. Mostly queer libs, which, is refreshing considering jobs I’ve previously had.

I obviously don’t like that my surplus value is being extracted, I don’t love that my manager is being forced to use an AI that allocates the amount of hours we all get each week (which is becoming less and less). But the actual labor? The actual task of cutting meat? I find it shockingly grounding. It just feels like I’m actually doing something someone benefits from.

Getting your needs met is unfortunately a luxury in the capitalist system. As long as my job feels necessary and my coworkers don’t totally suck I get by though. If my coworkers ever actually wanna do union activity they know I’m up for it, and if we ever hit a revolutionary situation, I’ll be down for that too.

Let’s use a cube as an example.

I can tell you roughly how large it is, if its rotating and roughly how fast. I “visualize” absolutely nothing. Not even a vague outline.

I locally host gemma 4 e2b on a very modest spec laptop to help summarize large texts, as a rudimentary translation tool, and just as a toy. It makes sense. I see small coding models on hugging face all the time, I think we’ve hit a point where it’s just too efficient not to atleast entertain a little bit of slop in your workflow.

So then as long as my machine doesn’t have systemd im fine?

Rad! Cool suggestion!

This looks like something I’d like. I’ll check it out, thanks!

Not too bad. Is there anyway to setup crossfade?

The lessons of the 2nd international will forever be forgotten on this website. Smh.

Its literally always this one guys complaint, you know, the guy that shills signal, the app that literally requires a phone number to use.

You probably want MATE, XFCE, LXQT, or god forbid Trinity.

Out of those, i personally find XFCE to be the most tolerable, and you can get some pretty decent looking themes setup for it. My system uses around 600mb on a cold boot, in theory I could get it down to 400mb but that comes with a good amount of drawbacks. CPU usage among all of those options is negligible.

True.

I mean, objectively, the dprk is largely underdeveloped which is enough for me to say i wouldn’t want to live there (and yes it doesn’t help that the entire world hates them and wont leave then alone). Last I knew lots of housing was getting built in rural areas though, which is good.

Don’t think in terms of easy to use and unbreakable. You won’t get that because something as simple as losing icons on the desktop is the kinda thing that’ll confuse someone that’s bad with computers. Instead, think in terms of what’s going to be easy for you to fix when you inevitably have to play tech support.

Facts. XFCE should be familiar to anyone who has operated a computer in the last 25 years
