  • Why widespread tech layoffs keep happening despite a strong U.S. economy

    Jump

  • And honestly? I'm tired of being gaslit by both sides. Fuck you all.

  • I also drive for a living, and boy is it slow out there.

    And ohhhh, you think I'm a solipsist because I used personal experience to back up my claims. Cool.

    That's what's going on in reality, though. Try touching some grass rather than believing what you see on a screen.

  • It's fascinating, how the media tries to prop up their "side" despite the obvious reality.

    Fox News praising Trump during COVID (which he absolutely blundered), and now the left media saying we have a great economy when me and all my friends are slow at work. So slow it's concerning.

  • Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI.

    Jump

  • ...didn't have to be the mouth. I'm still impressed.

  • Battery Draining by Private Service App on My Phone, Why?

  • Fish or rhythm section?

  • I'd like to get away from "arch bad for new users"

    Jump

  • Well even a bare bones install of Debian has USB plug and play, networking, printing...they include a bit more than Arch, even if you do have to install your own programs.

  • I'd like to get away from "arch bad for new users"

    Jump

  • Some functionality is missing, like USB plug and play, certain network file sharing capabilities, printing...so in addition to learning pacman, having to learn all the package names, you have to look up how to give the OS certain functionalities...it's a lot as a newbie. If you don't love working on computers, you may not make it through that phase.

    And I say this with all due respect, as an Arch user myself.

  • Stop being elitist, spread Linux!

    Jump

  • I've "refreshed" a couple coworker's old PCs with Linux Mint XFCE. It's actually gone pretty well.

    "All I do is browse the net."

    Okay, I'll put the browser right on the desktop, so you don't have to search for it. Be patient, it's an older computer. But at least this works, unlike Windows.

    And I haven't really heard too much from them. Internet works. Basic needs fulfilled.

    I feel like someone who knows a bit more could be more of a pain. But for very basic computing needs like paying your bills and surfing IG, it can go well.

  • The U.S. economy is booming. So why are tech companies laying off workers?

    Jump

  • Even the state of the economy is spun these days. Who even knows at this point, depending who you ask and what factors you look at.

  • Home server tips and security for beginners?

    Jump

  • This is how I run all my services. I have a nice docker compose file, I always set my server computers up the same way so no editing will be necessary...

    I was using podman, but like all Red Hat products, I found it to be unnecessarily complicated. Yes of course it has better security, but... Docker just works.

  • Microsoft endorses anti-LGBTQ online "child safety" bill KOSA night before Big Tech hearing (US Politics)

    Jump

  • When journalists become activists, objective reality suffers.

  • Masimo — the company that got the Apple Watch banned — has unveiled its new smartwatch

    Jump

  • The Pinetime is an awesome watch. Basic functionality, but...way more than you'd think for the price and the simple UI. It's crazy what that thing can do.

  • HP CEO says customers who don't use the company's supplies are "bad investments"

    Jump

  • I don't use it as often as I thought I would, but my Brother laser printer has served me well.

  • Instances in the free fediverses should consider "transitive defederation" from instances that federate with Meta

    Jump

  • Wow. Really reaching there, huh?

    What Meta shit wouldn't I like to see? A general watering down of the comment quality. Trolling. Nonsense. What has happened to every somewhat technical technology the second the normies cry "gatekeeping" and force their way in with a dumb fucking look on their face and without an original idea in their heads.

    That Meta shit is what I'd like to avoid. Just because one doesn't have opportunity to respond doesn't mean there isn't a response.

  • Notorious arcade gamer Billy Mitchell settles suit over Donkey Kong world record

  • Tetris? The recent record?

  • Jeffrey Katzenberg: AI Will Take 90% of Artist Jobs on Animated Films In Just Three Years

    Jump

  • Yeah, there is interesting music in certain areas, but not nearly as much as there used to be. I have to sift through a lot of nonsense to get to the good stuff.

  • Instances in the free fediverses should consider "transitive defederation" from instances that federate with Meta

    Jump

  • Sort by "all," and the popular instances show up.

    I wouldn't like to see FB and Threads dominate that with the bleating of the sheep they've cultivated.
