Everytime there is criticism of monopolistic and greedy behavior that affect us as human beings:

“nobody is forcing you to live in the city! You can live off the land in the hills or jungle or deserts or rural areas!”

Arguments like these imply that the market is equally distributed across store fronts. But we all know thats not true. In order to survive as a PC game company it is necessary to list on Steam.

Thankfully AMD CPU team managed to get their collective shit together for this to be possible. AMD CPU + AMD GPU was unthinkable 5 years ago outside of their shockingly serviceable APUs.

Oh this means that insurance companies can override doctors’ diagnosis to deny healthcare. We need more Mario brothers!

you should block “linux_memes” community if you don’t want to play wack a mole

hey, maybe you should err on the side of starting out with the idea that google; who famously removed “Don’t be evil” from their corporate mantra, is upto no good? of course it doesn’t hurt to verify… but you seem to suggest we should start and stop our thinking with “look at my poor boy google who wouldn’t hurt a fly!”

they deprecated KDE as of 7 to 8. Guess how I know? Corporate IT upgraded our development servers.

lol at the salty downvotes. it’s kind of true.

nah. As a software engineer I use software that makes my work easier. especially if the approved tool is a piece of garbage that actively interferes with my work.

For a doctor, having tools that work when you need them to is vital. Doctors managed fine without all the tech bullshit decades back. I think the people to blame here are admins.

strange that hospital admins can’t give the proper tools for doctors that they resort to using whatever they can scrounge.

microsoft can eat shit. I have removed windows 11 and will not be enrolling the family desktop to ESU.

Even here the KDE communication is better on details. the gnome quote is less crisp on what it means by “active development” where as KDE precisely defines what will and will not be supported

That’s actually on point for a university student. Probably young. Doesn’t have experience running a business. I wouldn’t be surprised if they struggle to get this off the ground without making fierce critics out of hyprland users.

I guessed palantir the moment I read “Controversial US tech giant” related to spying

Here’s a couple of good starting points for the line:

if you have to sell your time/labour for money, you’re not rich.

if you can take a day off and not need to tell anyone about it and not lose money because of it, you’re rich.

not really. Nobody asked to be born.

the world wasn’t born with companies. Trying to argue their morals as the ultimate truth is toxic to our humanity.

if all a company cares about is shareholders, said company doesn’t deserve to exist.

you argument is trying justify the status quo and arguing for a system that is innately oppressive and cruel. “That’s how it is” We should make it not be like that just the same as we made it be.

Funny how the people desperate to make money above all else in this world project their insecurity on the rest of us and try to gaslight people into thinking that’s how everybody works.

Truth is money isn’t everything in life.

I have deep distrust of any website that claims it’s a “goodinternetmagazine” and we want to build a slow web… but turns around and needs to fingerprint it’s visitors.

Seems like a bad idea to run a LLM on a phone.

It’s not FOSS. Because a corporate never gives stuff for free without benefit for itself.

keep cosplaying as the Detective… it’s quite amusing
