As a developer this question is hilarious to me

eskimofry ,

You can start with Endeavor OS KDE.. it's an arch system with Endeavor OS package managment added on top. So the Arch experience is the same.. without the pain of installation.

Plus it has some cool wallpapers.

eskimofry ,

Google lost the Artificial Intelligence race.. so now they're trying to win the race to Artificial Stupidity.

eskimofry ,

Sure a lot of pages of ad infested ads replaced human produced content.

eskimofry ,

Corporate users in shambles because mlocate.db cannot be generated without root.

eskimofry ,

Ok then that means we have to consider the fact that Car-oriented zoning laws and construction are bad for our future. 15-minute cities and infrastructure to support alternative modes of transit for longer distances are the way forward.

eskimofry ,

The problem is that highway advocates don't solve the problem of "who's going to pay for all this?". The reason infrastructure in America is in disrepair is that funding for highways is supposed to be gotten from tolls and road taxes. But since everywhere in America is a freeway... there's no funding for repairs.

Expecting the Government budget to cover maintenance of infrastructure is wishful thinking... unless you're also willing to agree that the military is allocated too much money.

eskimofry ,

as stated may create opponents out of folks that really wouldn’t care at all either way.

We shouldn't change our statement if they wouldn't care at all either way.

eskimofry ,

you're a dumbass. The advocates for a car-free society want to make it so that owning a car is not mandatory because alternatives will exist.

eskimofry ,

Roads are fundamental to the operation of any government. It isn’t simply that states need to maintain roads. It is that states need roads in order to exist.

Is it right to say then, that the users of the roads pay for maintenance? Do you expect the government to print more money to pay for maintenance?

Edit:

Regressive taxation leads to overfunded main roads and underfunded side streets.

As opposed to both main roads and side streets being underfunded without tolls and road taxes? Do you expect Government to print money to pay for all this?

eskimofry ,

It's effectively mandatory by design of U.S cities if you want to hold any kind of stable job that pays well enough.

eskimofry ,

Men learn jokes and pickup lines to impress girls

You: That's mysogynistic

Women have to do the same

You: That's mysogynistic

eskimofry ,

Holy exaggeration, Batman!

eskimofry ,

India is pro-israel. Especially upper class Hindus who are the majority of tech workers in IT companies.

eskimofry ,

Not OP but: It may not be assumptions but personal anecdote. I guess it takes concerted effort by significant number of individuals to find out if this is happening.

eskimofry ,

If it wasn't for politics then they shouldn't take government contracts

eskimofry ,

You have independently arrived at the bigots' internal musings. Only the bigots seems to think it's a disaster.

eskimofry ,

They can just fuck off

eskimofry ,

Face with Beard = Corporatism

eskimofry ,

You're the one pretending that everything is alright because you make the wrong choice under the false assumption that nothing can be done.. because doing something involves giving up some comfort and not risking getting injured or killed.

eskimofry ,

Talk to the mother or grandmother of any Indian origin person in your friends' circle

eskimofry ,

The problem with this argument is that by not fixing the issues created by slavery and centuries of oppression you aren't really doing a merit based system. And to imply that black people are not as smart as white people has no basis in reality.

eskimofry ,

Based on your imagination?

eskimofry ,

This is simply not true. If your products are good your customers will do the marketing for you.

eskimofry ,

.. shove it up their CEO's ass?

eskimofry ,

If you can do the same shit with solar panels or cars or whatever device that has a proprietary bootloader or glued together, then you can climb back on to your high horse.

eskimofry ,

yours and the parent comment are sniffing your own farts. You can't think of any other industries where a device cannot be fixed?

eskimofry ,

• Be open to finding solutions that work for both you and your leader.

Huh, funnily you and your leader already had a solution: Work From Home

eskimofry ,

Its actually not complicated fundamentally. It's some level of theft. The complexity is to hide this obvious fact.

eskimofry ,

Dumbass take

eskimofry ,

Code being in the open allows the whole world to participate and fix the problems quicker than closed source binary.

DAE have a the problem where they click on a post for an image, and the image appears briefly before showing a broken link icon? Using Connect for Lemmy browsing on Mobile...

Question is the same as the post title. I'm using Connect on mobile and very often I'll click on a thumbnail for an image, the post will open and the image will appear briefly before turning into a broken link. Just wondering if it's something specific to Lemmy, if it's just Connect, or if it's something I'm doing?

eskimofry ,

Same problem.. doesn't happen on programming.dev

eskimofry ,

If you talk shit instead of genuinely having trouble with something, any hobby group will not take it lightly. There's honestly trying and coming up empty, and then there's the "I don't have to put so much effort on other platform X" kind of response that indicates you are just trying to trash talk.

eskimofry ,

Nah, they can't claim that until they swap their execs with AI.

eskimofry ,

To be fair if your human agents are earning a 0 you can only go up from there. So switching to AI is a no-brainer (lol)

eskimofry ,

You understand that, I understand that.. but this company's execs don't or won't. And the cruel thing is THEY are the CEOs and not us.

The era of company training and respecting employee intelligence is past us. It's rare to see.

eskimofry ,

The phrase "Fuck you, pay me" comes to mind.

Cheapskates don't get top of the line security hardening. Pay more now or suffer a breach and pay contractors $1000/hr to fix your broken shit because you paid minimum wage for an administrator position and wanted them to do 5 jobs at once.

eskimofry ,

If you took even $1 of grants funded by taxpayers, will you take back your words?

eskimofry ,

That's like saying the burgler earned his robbery just because he was business savvy.

A lot of Redditors hate the Reddit IPO | Reddit warned us that its users were a risk factor, and boy do they sound excited about shorting its stock. (www.theverge.com)

A lot of Redditors hate the Reddit IPO | Reddit warned us that its users were a risk factor, and boy do they sound excited about shorting its stock.::Reddit seems like a likely candidate for a meme stock. But the actual reaction suggests that r/WallStreetBets isn’t going to send the stock to the moon.

eskimofry ,

This argument is oft repeated but It's Bullshit. If it wasn't valuable why is Spez okay with it?

Stock grants not being direct Income isn't clickbait nonsense. It's actually DELIBERATE: Spez doesn't pay income taxes on a majority of his income. Capital gains tax has a lot of loopholes that can be exploited.

This just gives spez more money and he can cash out in the IPO.

eskimofry ,

We should be embracing them. A lot of financial experts is good to have against the fight against ghoulish institutions in Wall St.

eskimofry ,

The risk is that he would actually have to compete instead of resting on the beach. It's good that these people are sweating when some fire is placed under their butts in the form of competition.

A RULE SPY'S IN THE BASE?! (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I searched up "Lemmy" on the PlayStore and noticed that Reddit appears right before the last lemmy client in that search X3 do u guys know if there r any other lemmy clients worth trying? I randomly felt like trying all I could find and for now I'll stay on Jerboa and the Web UI but I use Voyager too now, mainly for DMs...

eskimofry ,

Then you don't understand the fediverse my friend. These "clients" are monetizing something that's free.

eskimofry ,

No man I get the point of paid apps. I don't think it should collect and sell data. That's the poison pill with this whole deal.

eskimofry ,

Google adsense collects data.

eskimofry ,

The point I was trying to make (and I should have made properly) is that paid software has a free tier supported by ads. It being paid is just a trigger that makes me think "are they injecting google's code in their product". And if they are then your data IS being collected without your consent or knowledge by Google. (Same goes for any other "ad" provider). Who knows what the google API call takes?

eskimofry ,

But people generally don't marry "Most real women", just 1 is enough.

eskimofry ,

So having 1 packaging format that works across distros is good.
