I have not had to really mess with CachyOS for over a year, while “stable” distros were a nightmare for me.
…Yeah it just depends what you’re trying to get your system to do. Arch can range from incredibly hazardous to “it just works” depending on the person and thing, and so can Mint. I think most distros should be viewed that way.
We will eventually have to change our economic system and adapt one with a much much lower consumption rate, figure ways to limit our population growth, or more than likely both.
Of course. 100% agree with this, even if better technology helps. It will have to be pretty soon.
But in the very short term? This is going to be a disaster, and the human population is shooting itself in the foot by not accepting immigration from extreme birth rate countries (where overpopulation is indeed an issue).
I get the joke, but how does onlyfans slide by?
WTF? Do they have dirt on finance execs or something?
…Actually that would make a lot of sense…
Thanks for the TED talk (really)
You have to “unlock” them with a lot of tweaks. And to be clear, I’m just saying they’re better than Windows. Ugh, trying to compile anything on Windows…
Hardware wise, they’re far better for local code assistants, too, with the exception of a few exotic AMD laptops just now coming out.
You should watch the video. I used to be an overpopulation doomer, and it completely changed my perspective, especially when I dug into papers backing it up.
They give you free keys to sell elsewhere if you choose
To be clear, this is a different system than stores listing non steam key games.
That’s very far from monopolistic behavior.
I mean, imagine if, say, Walmart or Amazon did this (assuming they don’t already). Every price is every other store has to be at or above theirs, or their product gets delisted, which is apocalypse for a supplier.
How does that not sound monopolistic to you?
Imagine if Amazon took 20% more cut that Newegg and passed that to hardware prices for literally everyone.
EGS literally can’t be monopolistic because they have like no market share, but yes, they’re being anticompetitive and bribing in an unsustainable way. It’s not good either. And their store is barebones, no question.
But the double standard of bothers me. Valve doesn’t get a free pass just cause they have a better platform and they’ve been fine in other areas so far.
I dunno what you are getting at, because massive immigration has been an economic miracle for the USA. It’s ballooned the population, drained brains from other countries, and bolstered entire industries.
You know what gives industrialized countries a good quality of life? A young population with a high birth rate, so that the working population isn’t overburdened taking care of retirees, as Korea and Japan are existentially facing now. And low wealth inequality, which is a definite unrelated problem in the US.
The USA has a low birthrate. And immigration has completely made up for it because they skew young.
Take that away?

From a purely economic quality of life perspective, setting all morals aside, the US should pull in as many immigrants as it can. We’re basically screwed now.
Meanwhile, the fallacy of immigration hurting wages is basically the South Park episode “Goobacks”
Yeah, Macs are great if all your other stuff is Apple and all your subscriptions are Apple and all your cloud is Apple and you buy a new $2k unrepairable computer and go along with whatever huge changes Apple brings.
And they are actually quite user friendly… until something doesn’t work, or you want to reach out of its approved purview.
They are also dev friendly too, but the hurdle for that is high enough that one might consider Linux at that point.
But on your point, say what you will about Windows and all the UI garbage and bloat MS adds, but underneath, it is utterly stagnant, lol.
Agreed.
He should basically ignore Trump or give him some stupid token he can feel good about, but insulting is playing Trump’s game.
Narcissists hate being ignored more than anything.
Yeah, probably not this one:
I came so I wouldn’t be randomly shadowbanned by Reddit because it thinks I’m a spambot, heh.
And because it has human, cozy mods, not the corporate feel of big subs.
I guess I’m saying that I don’t picture people coming here to harass small communities with rules they don’t like, as there was a lot of that on Reddit too.
First you have to understand this: Anti “big government” sentiment is basically built and drilled into the American psyche, from birth and in school. We were founded on a rebellion against a king, and that hasn’t changed much.
I like to think it distinguishes us. Even as we plunge into autocracy, many openly hate the government, and many Trump supporters openly hate government.
And this is where the American Libertarian Party is coming from. It’s the party of Adam Smith, of hoarding weapons for an armed rebellion against the govt if necessary, of old school homesteading and bootstrapping, of free trade, of minding your own business. I like to think there’s overlap with Warren Buffet’s “sensible business” kind of philosophy, which I am sympathetic to. It’s a bit anarchic, like left wing libertarianism. I know because I have family that expresses some of this.
…It was not prepared for corporate oligarchy.
It was not built for complex, technical modern systems of society.
It was built for low tech entrepreneurs/businessfolk to resist foreign kings, not engagement-driven propaganda from within.
Hence I know registered American libertarians that buy into, say, climate denial, even when they’re very scientific minded people, or conspiracy theories against Democrats while giving Trump a pass. They were essentially a wing of fiscally conservative Republicans for a long time until the whole party got consumed by MAGA, and drug other beliefs in.
Via EGS? I just assumed DRM for multiplayer broke it or something.
Not a chance, agreed.
I do fear for Valve’s future though. I feel like the basket should be a little more split in case they enshittify.
Yeah that parts awful.
To be fair, a lot of the games on EGS are nicely DRM free (so no trouble in proton), but Rocket League is not one of them.
Which is understandable, but also feels overblown seeing how Steam has a defacto monopoly and “soft” exclusivity (eg they will allegedly delist you if you try to price lower on lower fee stores). And that there have been exclusives on other stores, albeit less common ones for big games.
Pretty shit TBH.
I threw away my 20s for nothing; drifted from friends, no girlfriends, didn’t take drugs or anything, just an isolated gap. I was physically healthy, and had a privileged childhood too.
I got into a great tech startup at 30 via a fluke. I loved work (and finally working a lot), I felt like I was soaring out of my hole and right where I wanted to be, then threw that away too.
Sorry, heh.
I’m just saying, appreciate the youth you got to live, and that you’re still healthy/put together enough to even wonder if you feel old.
These comments…
what the fuck is wrong with you guys?

Community rules are community rules, and you can either follow them or get banned from the community. How is ‘women only’ any different?
As for the excuse of visibility: the rule is very often in the title, and the initial post, yet not followed.
As for the excuse of how they can tell: well if they can’t, okay, you evaded detection. But posts very often declare “I’m a guy and this is my take…”
I honestly don’t get it, especially on an internet “refuge” like Lemmy where users should be sensitive to persecution and the importance of safe, moderated discussion spaces.
It’s a GitHub link, what did you expect?
