  • Jira is so much better than the new programs introduced in the last few months. Almost everything could be done on a Jira ticket before. Now I need to go to Jizz for a work order, Bellow for an off the shelf inventory addition, GroupCenter for releasing a drawing, and SimpSupport for IT help. It's like an MBA in upper management pushed these additions and then fucked off as soon as they started implementing them before it blew up in their faces. Off to search for the next company's productivity flow to ruin.

  • More than 70% of Black voters disapprove of Trump - erasing 2024 gains

    Jump

  • Why the fuck would black voters go for the guy who wanted to have the exonerated Central Park 5 executed? You know, the same guy who instructed his leasing offices to not rent out apartments to black people?

  • Think Democrats and Republicans can't work together? On sealing eviction records, they do.

    Jump

  • That's true. They act as a lightning rod to all the anger and dissent felt from Republican policies. Too bad all that energy goes straight to waste. Here's hoping Zohran, AOC, and Bernie can help turn things around in the DNC one election at a time.

  • Oh no! Ernst Röhm is upset Hitler turned against her for her homosexuality. Despite all the shit she's helped unleash on America and herself she's still willing to side with them against CRT and gender dysphoria. She'll be blissfully chatting and agreeing with her would-be executioners all the way to the "showers."

  • Sanders Says Every Republican Who Backed Trump-GOP Budget 'Must Pay a Price at the Ballot Box' | Common Dreams

    Jump

  • Republican legislators keep getting away with awful shit. I don't see there being a change whenever they vote for extremely unpopular bills because they have an R next to their names. In the eyes of the average brain dead voter, that's good enough to keep endorsing them every time they drag their dumb asses to the poles. Ted Cruz should've been primaried after abandoning his constituents for Cancun during a snow storm but he's still around. Lauren Boebert should've lost her position after the Beetlejuice blow job but she's still in Congress. MTG's incompetence and bathshit crazy stuff she says about Jewish space lasers hasn't cost her anything yet. I could go on.

    Meanwhile we have the DNC eating itself over anything that goes against the wishes of those at the top. Mamdani is practically unrecognized by the DNC establishment. Sanders faced the combined efforts of the Democratic party keeping him from getting a fair chance at the 2016 primaries. Al Greene was censured by his peers for rightfully calling out Trump on his Medicaid lies. AOC keeps getting snubbed in committee picks for geriatrics that die months later. It's so hard to stay positive in light of all the shit that keeps going on. I really want things to change for the better but it's so hard to keep holding on to hope.

    I Will Do Anything to End Homelessness Except Build More Homes

    Jump

  • The ratio of empty homes to homeless people in the US is roughly 15:1. We just need to redistribute a few but the average American hates the idea of doing something nice to people they see as unworthy of life to begin with.

  • AOC slams House Republicans for supporting Trump’s ‘big, beautiful’ bill ‘in exchange for some signed merch’: ‘Voting to starve babies’

    Jump

  • Just forget it. Us Americans are too comfortable/scared/tired to do jack shit. We should've been out striking and rioting like the French day after day when ICE first started to make their move. At this point we pretty much deserve what's coming to us because of the election results and us not objecting loud enough.

    Latina Regrets Voting for Trump After Her Sick Father Is Detained by ICE and the Internet Has No Sympathy

    Jump

  • She has zero sympathy from me. Let her denounce Trump all she wants but I have no desire to consider her an ally. She knew exactly the kind of man Trump was the first go around and still decided to ignore it all to either hurt the people she doesn't like or believe the bullshit he said about improving the economy. If Trump weren't around she'd still have the same nasty values that'd make her vote Republican.

  • That's what we get for having farms downstream from livestock. Now that we have fewer EPA regulations you'd best start scrubbing your veggies real well before eating (if you're American).

  • Zero-day: Bluetooth gap turns millions of headphones into listening stations

    Jump

  • To be fair I kept buying models that cost $20 to $30 so maybe the higher end ones would last longer. That said, my Moondrops wired headphones cost the same but are way more reliable.

  • Zero-day: Bluetooth gap turns millions of headphones into listening stations

  • Same. I can't find any Bluetooth headphones whose batteries don't die in 4 or 5 months anyway. Meanwhile my Moondrop wired headphones have been going strong for almost 3 years.

  • The US really is different. In China, companies have to listen to the CCP lest it gets seized by the state and its owners disappeared. In the US the government listens to its corporate donors and now even rewards them with high ranking military positions.

  • For all the puritanical shame Americans have of their sexual organs, we sure are lax when it comes to giving a little privacy when taking a shit and sometimes even just pissing in a trough.

  • Books

    Jump

  • No but that sounds fucked up. A book collection should be a carefully curated catalog full of things that you personally love or find great use for, not some sad eclectic mix that looks like a hoarder's pile.

  • Australian tech publication telling average users that Linux is now the smarter choice!

    Jump

  • Windows 7 was a beautifully simple yet versatile OS capable of running on some really weak hardware with little overhead. Windows 11 by comparison is a bloated monster that demands too many resources for mandatory background processes and wants to get its tentacles into every facet of your privacy.

    Gaming, simple office tasks, and web browsing work really well in Linux for the common layman. The next big hurdle is to offer some more niche programs that are easy to work with.

    I spent my whole weekend trying and failing to set up ZoneMinder, Motion, Shinobi, then finally ContaCam through WINE in an effort to make a simple air gapped security camera system in Linux Mint installed on a 13 year old laptop. I struggled through countless command lines trying very hard to understand what each one does, Time shifted a dozen times through installation failures, and I still couldn't get it done. The best I could do was unintentionally turn on my webcam after somehow managing to install Motion without then being able to access its functionality through a solely console based interface.

    I wanted to gift this laptop to my tech illiterate mom and give her peace of mind that no one was sneaking around in front of her house. Linux failed me on this if I couldn't even set up the software on my own, let alone my mom if she'd have to learn how to use a terminal to make it work. I wanted it to work so bad but the learning curve and difficulty to figure out why a PPA command failed after following an old and likely out of date guide had no workaround since support is so scarce. Old YouTube video guides with a couple hundred views offered no hints when a line I followed verbatim didn't work in my setup. As midnight was fast approaching I finally threw in the towel and set up Windows 7 with ContaCam running in less than 2 hours.

    Devs for Linux need to do better. If they want their OS of choice to get more mainstream then they need to develop for more mainstream users. A lot of these nittty gritty setup configurations need to be moved to the background with greater reliability and cross distro functionality. I get that there are things like Software Center that offer flatpaks have at least some ease of use when it comes to installing software, but the point is lost when some of that software doesn't actually run or even appear anywhere after installing, like ZoneMinder.

  • That's me alright. Not from lack of trying mind you but I've had to reinstall my OS a couple of times this weekend to make an install boot properly on an old laptop. I'mma have to reinstall again because I messed up a console install.
