100% agree. Leave the people who would work the best at home at home. You want to play the corporate game? Come to the office.

You will arguably get better results in terms of your product.

I had a 14.4 modem. I remember wanting a 33.6. Those were the days though. Simpler times.

Yes. One more reason why they are against a major benefit of Linux.

The worm wants what the worm wants

I’ve never understood why it isn’t the other way around.

All the higher up corpos can be together in the office. After all, they seem to enjoy playing around in suits.

For me, Snaps are the thing. Ubuntu has chosen to use Snaps even for things readily available on other distros / in many repos without the need for Snap.

Linux is about choice, and making that kind of decision eliminates some choice. And given that Ubuntu is commonly recommended for new users – partly because it is often one of the few distros with official support for stuff – it’s extra annoying.

Edit: in practice, there are many Ubuntu-like distros that are probably just as good for new users and don’t need the Snaps (e.g. Mint). But new users won’t know this. If Ubuntu were not the behemoth it is in terms of name recognition, many people would care less.

Let them eat cake

Yep, I went to Mastodon too.

It’s very upsetting that the way most people know about federated platforms is Meta’s Threads.

What a non answer!

Same reason why “I’m just asking questions” is so annoying. It’s a fantastic way to guide the conversation and normalize batshit crazy topics. These people either do or don’t realize they’re walking propaganda; either way, they’re shit people.

You’d be surprised how many Windows-only games run better on Linux+Proton than on Windows itself. There is far less system overhead on Linux.

Coupled with the standards too: Linux tends to be more secure, it’s free, you have more choices, etc etc. I switched both of my gaming rigs to Linux a few years ago and never looked back.

The amount of grief and strife this man caused to countless families through the actions of his corporation are beyond calculation.

50k won’t even register.

More evidence that this kind of wealth disparity does not occur without generational wealth. Show me a super rich person, and I’ll show you a nepo-baby.

Hard cycle to break.

Reddit was reddit. I left when I was forced into using their stupid app and watch ads.

I’ve generally enjoyed Lemmy.

Edit: or to and

If you’re a corpo, not integrating generative AI somewhere is seen as a misstep. Shareholders want to know that their money is being used on the cutting edge.

Of course, both groups are clueless as to where generative AI may actually be useful. But ultimately it doesn’t matter.

Sigh, they’re being such Brian Thompsons

Corporations sentencing the poor to death in a regular and normalized fashion advocates violence. It’s a pretty wild standard.

My thoughts exactly. This is an i3 in the US and Europe:

From a little googling, it does seem like BMW have reused this designation for a China-only version with a body as shown in the article thumbnail.

An argument constantly made when Public Option healthcare was on the table under Obama: “you don’t want the government getting between you and your doctor.”

All of us have these giant corporations between us and our doctors. Corporations which can literally choose if we live or die. The current uproar is unsurprising, and it should not go away.
