Comrade Spood

Me and my friends were literally just making jokes about this tonight and its the first thing I see when I boot up Lemmy

To the people complaining Windows has an aggressive method. Sure but I didn’t know about it till now. Task manager didn’t make it obvious to me and so I didn’t know about it till now (and everyone keeps talking about commands and shutdowns so it doesn’t even sound like you can do it through task manager). Linux’s system manager did and I have known about it since first using Linux (about half a year ago now)

Well don’t go forgetting the anarchist CNT-FAI

Only bacterial STIs are curable. Viral ones are not. Some have vaccines and some have treatments, but no cures.

Exactly. I remember in Conquest of Bread when Kropotkin talked about freeing up more time by automating creative and intelligent pursuits so we can focus more on menial labor.

Obviously /s

Good, get the corpos and cops out of Pride. They never velonged there to begin with. Queer liberation, not rainbow capitalism

It feels like they are getting new photos more often lately. When the scam first started they used the same like two photos a lot. Now it feels like there is multiple new photos just this week.

We CAN work more, we do not NEED to work more. We already overproduce everything. What you want is growth for the sake of growth, which is a self-destructive economic philosophy. We could easily drop to a 4 hour work day and still meet demand.

Facts. I live in Maine. I dare anyone that says to ban cars to come live here without one. The only form of public transportation here is a very shitty public bus system. If you live outside of its route, you are shit out of luck. Its why you have a lot of old people driving here that honestly should have had their license revoked a decade ago. Can’t take their license away cause they will have no way to access the resources they need to survive. But shouldn’t let them keep their license cause they are a major danger on the roads.

Technology and industrialization has and continues to increase an individual’s productivity exponentially. With increasing productivity we should be living better lives while being able to work less. Not equivocal or even more. The issue is capitalist economics are about over-production and constant growth, not meeting need. We’d still be living in candle-lit brick apartment complexes with your extended family in a studio apartment working 15 hours in the coal mines if it wasn’t for labor unions and violent resistance. Then they found out they can pacify people easier through consumerism than they could with the barrel of a gun.

This is all to say, we do not need to work as much as we are to keep the quality of life we have.

I mean there are some other shitty stuff feudal peasants had to do or had it harder than us, but it is kinda sad that there still are things peasants had that we don’t (like shorter working hours and longer breaks). You’d think with the technological advancements we’ve had since the “death” of feudalism we would have more to distinguish ourselves from feudal peasants. I feel like the only major differences (at least in America) is the mass consumerism and that the feudal lords are capitalists rather than nobility.

Fair, we are only seeing this from a 4chan-er’s perspective (which is obviously fake and gay)

I wouldn’t say lying that you have an ex that you don’t actually have is a “big lie.” I mean yeah its a lie he shouldn’t have made, but I wouldn’t call it a big lie or even an important one. It does set a precedence of lying, which is bad, but the lie itself is one that really holds no weight on tge relationship (besides the act of lying in of itself). However the partner is not beyond fault either. Being this pushy about an ex is (I feel) a red flag. In the end, both parties involved are being stupid and toxic and probably just shouldn’t be together in the first place cause it will just escalate unless they can grow enough as people.

The performance differences feel like nothing. The only thing I have actually noticed is the camera quality being worse, and I don’t take many photos. I value durability and longitivity over what I see as minor hardware improvements. For the most part I use my phone as a phone. I watch youtube on it, message people, and listen to music. I’m not trying to game on it, thats what I have a computer for. So these hardware improvements they are constantly pushing (while removing valuable features) just doesnt feel worth it to me. But it is a to each their own. I just wish there was a bigger market catering to my needs rather than the whole industry striving to turn phones into all in one devices while removing quality of life features like aux cords, physical buttons, and replaceable batteries.

Its Samsung’s “rugged” phone. They certainly don’t advertise it at all. Its a shame because it is a really nice phone (poor camera though but I dont care about that). Probably cause it doesnt fit into the mainstream market of expensive (cheaper than their mainline stuff), disposable (this has a replaceable battery which prolongs its longitivity), and minimalist (still has its aux port and more than just a power and volume buttons).

Ps. They are coming out with a new one, the Xcover 7. It might have already come out actually.

My issue is no one has developed a custom OS for my phone. Suprising considering it seems like the kind of phone FOSS users would love. A modern smart phone with an aux cord and replaceable battery still. Samsung Galaxy XCover 6 Pro for anyone interested.

I do have Nvidia. I wish I didn’t tho

I found it to be unstable. I ran into updates causing major problems way too often. The last update got stuck and I was just so fed up I dumped the OS. Ubuntu has the LTS version that has way less often of updates, and that appealed to me. But I don’t like gnome so I went with Kubuntu cause its on KDE

I moved off of Nobara to Kubuntu LTS. Tried out Mint and Ubuntu before hand and gotta say, I am loving Kubuntu. I am hoping it is the last time I have to distro hop
