  • In my head, Waldo is a trans guy, living his best life, using his dead name Carmen Sandiego, drag, and gender norms as an effective tool as an effective shield against the authorities to seperate their work life from their personal life.

    This is why Carmen is flashy, memorable, and bold while Waldo is quiet and casual.

  • Because innovation dies the minute licensing gets involved.

    My workplace runs several VMMs for clients (ESXi, Hyper-V, etc) - because each Windows guest system needs licensing and has costs, clients spin up as few as possible, shooting the advantages of having services partitioned off right in the foot.

  • Laura Ingraham (of Fox News fame), put out an article that we should all relax, because Jeffrey Epstein's victims were on average closer in age to 15 than 5, and spouted some technicalities about the definition of pedophile, as if that makes grooming children to sexually exploit and trade access to for favors any less repulsive.

    The timing of the news release is right after a clever procedural move in the US House brought a vote to release the Epstein files and now all the conservative media is trying the "maybe we did, but it wasn't really that bad" lines.

  • I appreciate that arch's package manager is a bit of a monster - but that's also what made it the prefect choice for me.

    In the immediate aftermath of the release of the Steam Deck, there was many hot weeks where arch's ability to turn on a dime was exactly the tool needed to run all the new things valve released (fast development to deploy is aur's specialty). This advantage was destined to not last more than 6 months, as that's the release cycle for other distros.

    Nothing prevents ya from using Arch to install Flatpack, tho. It's also really well documented at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Flatpak 😅

  • To be fair - this mindset is hardly exclusive to self-hosters. The dotcom era itself kicked off because it was easier to get advertisers to pay for server costs than users.

  • Garuda was a great distro for a hot minute. It was right where it needed to be to access Steam on Linux right as the Steam Deck came to market. It got all the performance benefits of Proton immediately as other distros had to play catch-up.

    It still is a great distro, but it's lost some is that exclusivity.

  • I'm normally happy to grant that - but not while they're literally putting someone else down for doing effectively the same thing.

  • I've been randomly substituting the thorn ᚦ, the diphthong æ, the interobang ‽, and other such irregular typographical arcana into my casual writing for decades. Just took you-all an LLM to be mad at to pay attention.

    Let's not crucify people for being weird please. Nobody is average. We all have quirks.

  • Let's stop ᚦis before the train gets going:

    • The original post content's auᚦor replaced the letters 'th' with ᚦe more archaic ᚦ
    • the original author said ᚦat all 't's were replaced in an oversimplification
    • ᚦe parent author noted that oᚦer 't's were used which were not replaced.
    • I've replaced about half my 'th' with 'ᚦ's

  • Yeah, I read this title, I thought this means $100,000 households are no longer above the liviable wage line. Less catchy headline, but more believable.

  • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin

  • I mean, then you're describing bog-standard capitalistic exploitation, and it's not exclusive to designers.

  • In FOSS world, this is only as true for the subset of developers (including both programmers and designers) that are contributing code as their job duties. Additionally that effect is only prominent in projects that are dominated by one organization. Both those things do happen, but there's also numerous exceptions, too.

    Some developers are paid to write unrelated proprietary code and the developer also contributes to open source on their free time. Some projects have so many corporate contributors that none of them can single-handedly direct the development.

  • Right‽ Who decided there gets to be a Rickroll of grievance? Sometimes I worry it gets used as mental bandaid to objectify mourning and perform alchemy to putting a label on it and transmute it into 'a funny feeling'. The lines are a magic rune to turn the sad nuance of actual loss into meme loss.

  • I appreciate the thought but which would you choose:

    Full time minimum wage US worker at $7¼/hr or $15,080/yr vs $20,000 one time purchase?

    I agree with you that these things are likely underpaid labor (maybe including literal slavery, or job conditions close enough to count anyways), but I don't think your argument is going to be convincing to anyone actually considering getting one.

  • Which is frustrating as every single time the government wanted to expand surveillance on regular citizens, preventing this is always touted as the justification. Now we have all the surveillance and the monopolies are like 'Nah, exploitation is profitable'.
