Meanwhile FedEx consistently says I wasn't home when they tried to deliver which is highly interesting because I work from home and never leave my neighborhood on workdays. If they tried to make a delivery I'd see the truck. They just leave the "we missed you" post it without ever ringing the bell or knocking at the door

You fundamentally misunderstand what people are calling for. The aim of making utilities public isn't the enrichment of a small few, its to spread the benefits of society to all who contribute. The core of this is that we want responsible accountability and the best way to do that is to operate with a communal mindset. One in which if we find a political officer is abusing their position of power we can remove them and restore the material wealth stolen to who it belongs to. You're so used to operating in a system where positions of power go to the already wealthy that you're assuming that's what we're still calling for. Collaborative cooperation has become such a foreign concept to you that you're completely ignoring that we're saying utilities and services should enrich no one but society as a whole

We've tried that. What's prone to happen is the corporations spend money to the municipalities to deregulate. Let's stop giving them the chance. It hasn't worked. Let's instead go back to treating utilities as publically beneficial

Continuous community organization and demonstration. Systematic election reform. Solidarity

Having no masters would be exactly the aim. Ultimate power should lay in the hands of the people and government should only exist to serve the will of said people. I don't fully know what that should look like but I can say for sure we've tested a lot of ideas that aren't that, and that we should try some new things because what were doing now isn't working.

Driving 30 minutes into town every time I have to print something isn't worth it

Quill7513 , 3 months ago

I work remote. About once a month I have to print a shipping label or something for drop off. Having a printer in the house greatly increases turn about on that and important papers

Brother, you just described why I bought a toner based printer. The ink is cheap AF, doesn't dry out, doesn't require frequent test pages, doesn't brick if I disable the ink subscription because I don't print that much, the drivers are all released GPL by the printer company, and it can just sit on a shelf I wasn't using anyway. I haven't looked at it in weeks and as an added bonus I dropped the print contrast to increase the longevity of the toner cartridge.

Linux and its not even close...

What distro were you using? This sounds like a possible Wayland issue

If those are the performance metrics you care about you're probably not thinking about personal computing. In which case, in business terms, Linux is 100% the elephant in the room of cloud computing

Pop!_os ships with specific kernel tweaks to make it play nicer with GPUs

Quill7513 , 3 months ago

Applause to them, even if that's all they're doing. For personal computing you can basically always count on Pop!_os to work no matter your hardware configuration (within reason, 32-bit machines aren't really something you need to consider anymore)

I mean to me this reads like its making fun of victim blamers but maybe I'm just reading it wrong?

Gotcha. Yeah. Lemmy has some unsavory elements that caused me to leave for a few months. I'm back on a trial basis at the moment

The bad parts of capitalism are the authoritarianism and the grift. Venezuela, like any soviet structured entity is not an alternative to capitalism, its just imperialism wearing a different coat of paint

He was the moderator of a sub called "jailbait" for a long time. What's less clear is if that was something he did on purpose or if someone else assigned him as a mod as a prank assuming he wouldn't notice

Quill7513 , 3 months ago

That wasn't how it worked at first. Back when I first joined Reddit you could be made moderator of a sub by another user without confirmation

I'd be more likely to recommend you install a plugin like libredirect and use an alternative frontend to Reddit like libreddit. Get visibility into posts, spread your load across three alternative front end instances to avoid rate limiting, starve reddit of the tracking data they're trying to direct people to their preferred front end for

I just pick the fastest three working libreddit instances once pinged by libredirect
