  • I ended up switching to Gnome because KDE would always feel a bit jank to me. Something about it always feels slightly off, animations not working properly or being choppy like my desktop had an unstable framerate. Might just be it fighting with Nvidia, but I don't have several hundred bucks lying around to upgrade my card and switch to AMD...

    Kind of odd seeing the massive hate boner the community seems so have for Gnome, at least we have options for desktop environments at all.

  • What I Learned Reporting in Cities That Take Belongings From Homeless People

  • Sounds like Calgary to me. They locked all the train shelters one year so that the homeless couldn't use them... or anyone else... in -40C...

  • Happy socially enforced consumerism day everyone!

  • Everyone is free to enjoy the holidays, working retail kind of sucked the life out of it for me personally.

  • Research finds vaccines are not behind the rise in autism. So what is?

  • Better testing, and people are getting their kids tested more instead of beating the fuck out of them until they "behave" might have something to do with it.

  • Grocery prices set to rise as soil becomes "unproductive"

  • By the balls of my ancestors, life really is gonna go down the shitter soon ain't it?

  • I like how the title pretends *nix operating systems don't exist

  • That's the big "what if" that hangs over everything isn't it?

  • This is infininitivelivy worse

  • The one thing Google still has over Duck for me at this point is reddit results. So much niche information is stored on that site, but they've blocked anyone other than Google from crawling the site so other engines can't index past the point they changed that policy.

  • Regardless of us using Linux on our home computers, most businesses and services use Windows machines. Your information is likely still stored on Windows machines elsewhere if you interact with the world at all.

    With that in mind, it's worth being aware of Windows security problems when they come up.

  • You sure must be fun at parties.

  • I've heard this argument before. I didn't know how to potentially respond to it until they actually changed the prices.

  • You joke, but depending on the area transit can range from really good to REALLY bad.

    Things have gotten really shitty in my city (Calgary, Alberta), my friend takes transit so I hear the horror stories. Homeless people openly doing drugs, screaming at people walking by, sometimes ODing and dying. I've had to leave work to pick up my friend after a homeless guy tried to grab her and was following her with two of his buddies until she went into a restaurant to call me.

    The last time I had to take transit on my own they hadn't cleaned the blood off the wall from the stabbing a couple weeks prior (2023 had a transit stabbing every few weeks).

    I seriously wish I was making this up as it's been cartoonishly awful the last couple of years.

  • I work at a pet store. I monitor anyone that looks between 12 and 18 closely. If I don't, without fail they're always the ones swatting at our animals for a laugh. Why, by Neptune's briny piss, would I treat them with the respect that 9/10 times they don't show to anyone else?

  • Discord alternatives?

  • Element X is still missing a lot of features, "ready" is an exaggeration I feel

    No Spaces support in particular is a dealbreaker for me

  • You know, maybe casually advocating for the torture and/or deaths of millions of people might be the sign that you need to go touch some grass.

    Like, seriously... do you even register what you sound like?

  • The new release isn't out on F-Droid my friend, last updated 3 months ago as of this comment.

  • I'm not sure how or why, but Magic Earth has a FAR more complete address list than OSMand or Organic Maps where I live. It must be pulling from another data source as well, OSM doesn't have addresses for several neighborhoods in the city but Magic Earth does.

    Would anyone know why that would be?

    OSM not having massive chunks of my home city really does leave me with either Google Maps or Magic Earth.

  • Canadian mega landlord using AI ‘pricing scheme’ as it massively hikes rents

  • A few things spring to mind as someone who lives in Alberta:

    Alberta is looking at transferring control of some of our hospitals to the catholics (Covenant Health has a former premier and the former health minister on the board of directors, hmm) for a start. UCP has also been eyeballing getting Alberta to leave the CPP.

    Can't speak for other cities, but Calgary has been turning into a shit hole for years now. Homeless people and drug addicts are all over the place lately. Rents are spiking just like everywhere else.

    Personal anecdote, the last time I had to take transit there was still blood on the wall of the station where a guy had been stabbed a few weeks prior. 2023 was a nasty year for transit stabbings.
