Eh screw it, thine to break the redditless streak.

Oh god, I was blind to them. The fuckers are every where.

Ack! another one.

I take a train to the city, and I bike to the station whenever I need to go into the office. The amount of disabled folk I see that could not transport themselves otherwise because a car is requisite would shock you.

The point of their community is improving public transport so it isn’t as car centric and a requirement to participate society.

I don’t see exactly how that’s “commie” to strive for a more democratic society.

Til community didn’t exist before Ford’s invention.

Yeah, this kinda hit me whenever my first pair of AirPods died because I was using them so much. They have such tiny batteries, so a percentage difference in total charging capacity was felt quicker. Additionally, the use-case lends to them being discharged almost completely, which hurts life further. While it’s convenient, I realized I was paying a really sharp subscription service where there’s no service from the manufacturer to continue the use of the parts and ultimately the product is designed to be landfill debris.

I switched to a wire after that.

Oh, you’ll be fine then. Haven’t used Mint personally, but I’ve heard good things about it! Always reach out for help.

If not, surely the one after that.

Isn’t that the joke tho?

Good on you mate, and welcome aboard!

Assuming it isn’t you first time: there’s a slight learning curve, but once you’re passed a few months and you’ve resolved a few issues on your own you won’t look back!

Look into KDE extensions to customize your desktop just the way you want it! My windows wobble around or fizzle out of existence when I close them. :)

This may sound argumentative, it isn’t:

The capitalist pitched the infrastructure cost to the government, design of transportation and city design flex around them, and now you need to buy the privilege to participate in society back from them. Where I live public transport is basically non-existent (unless you just so happen to live in a wealthy area, oddly enough) and I’ve known people trapped in poverty because no car means no job, but job don’t pay, so they work for car because everyone is laser focused on the merits for the individual over the collective. Even if it’s cooking the environment and is inefficient for moving people en-masse as well.

In the example you gave why not offer a train station that goes to the city? I’m one of the fortunate few that can take the train into the city and it has been ideal. Just me, my e-bike, and the train. No insurance; no emissions. It’d be perfect save the two tons of metal flying around me constantly.

It’s certainly on my list alongside Debian. It’s a shame, since my distro of choice is Fedora but I’ll switch next time I need to re-install my OS. If they throw opt-out telemetry into the mix I’m dipping immediately. Sure, I could opt out, but I don’t want to fuck it up.

Absolutely vile. It’s quite literally on their front page.

Hoffman’s reaction

Care to share a link if you have it readily available? Otherwise I can hunt around for it :)

For sure! My machine only booted into Windows exactly once, and I installed Fedora 36 from there. All that time the only issue that I had was my Bluetooth service would occasionally not start at boot and no matter what I did I couldn’t get it to start each time it happened. It often followed an update, so I assumed that it was a “Linux Problem.”

This morning it happened again and I did a bit of research. I found a Windows user with the same machine with me that had the exact problem, and apparently the card included in the laptop has static electricity issues and I needed to do other these year was to discharge the laptop and it was fine!

Turns out Fedora has been working perfectly all this time and it was a hardware issue!

So wait, if they can revert any changes then how are things being harmed?

Yeah, for now people are still going to incidentally use reddit for human-written non-seo optimized text.

Heck, I needed it last night for help with my computer.

Exactly. I do selenium scripting as my main task for work, and as soon as I heard about how high the api rates were my first through was “Jesus, it might slower than straight api calls, and the dynamic xpaths might suck, but I could write a script that scrapes the website for cheaper.” Twitter is hurting for cash right now, and I imagine his effort to raise funds is the end goal here. He instituted the api policy, learned about another side effect, and continues to with the most extreme, devoid of nuance response each time.

All “in my opinion,” of course.

Ecosia has been pretty okay for me. Additionally, they are a non-profit that plants trees based off user usage.
