  • Even PewDiePie thinks you should install Linux on your computer after saying he was "tortured by Windows"

  • Stable means unchanging. Stable does not mean free of faults.

    I don't know anything about MS Windows anymore, but I tend to doubt it's as stable as Debian Stable, since we are constantly getting accused of being "too old" because of our stability policies.

  • I am a programmer, and I can barely put together a latch in redstone. Anyone that programs redstone is a "tech guy" to me (whether they can build a PC or not).

  • Maybe I'm just your basic bitch*, but it's Twilght Sparkle for me. I just like her look; last time I had my hair dyed it it was modeled after her mane / her anthro's hair. I didn't really like the show, but I only watched a few episodes.

    is that word gender-neutral in context, or should I be using "bastard" or something else?

  • Sometimes I think that would be a nice solution: go into suspended animation for 7-10 years and see if I can slot myself into the new madness later. It would be self-extinction-lite, but that's not an option at our current tech*wealth level.

    So, I try and remember all the positive coping mechanisms I can and hope the next day is better. (And, so far, something has worked eventually.)

  • No, I think more MS users = MS shady shit. So, to discourage MS shady shit, I encourage people to not use MS software. I also think that people who are worried about abuse by priests should not tithe or otherwise donate to Catholic churches (belief matters less than action here; and it's less reasonable to swap out belief system, I guess.)

    That's why your analogy seems backwards to me.

    Doesn't matter anyway. I guess I just don't get it. Have a nice day.

  • The VM protects somewhat from network attacks and spread. But, I do imagine most vulnerabilities of Win10 would still be exploitable, and you would be sacrificing some performance, yes.

  • I didn't like the name, but it was a nice option for Nvidia laptops esp. from System76.

    I ended up replacing it with Ubuntu; but I can't remember exactly why. I normally use Debian.

  • I'm not sure I get the analogy here... Do you think there will be less abuse by priests if there are more Catholics?

  • I'm been using Linux full time since 2004, and while I think it is good to let people know it is there, I don't recommend it to people I'm not willing to personally support. But, I also let them know I just can't help with Windows problems either, and they should address their complaints to their OS vendor.

    I file Debian bugs if I have a problem with my OS, and have received fixes that way. This is better support that I ever received from MS during my first 2 decades of using MS OSes.

    You dropped this:

  • Sanders introduces bill to raise minimum wage to $17 by 2030, benefits nearly 22 million Americans

    Jump

  • I never proposed $25/hr. I proposed a living wage based on the poorest/cheapest state of the union.

    You did the math, introducing my state, and illustrating that 17 $/hr is still a bit low, but in the right region. That might be why Sanders chose his 17 $/hr number, but I have no special insight to his process.

    @WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com said it should be 25 $/hr. I agree that would, at this moment, be too high for Arkansas.

    While I'm sure I don't live up to it, I am trying to be convinced by data, and the data I've seen (including the data you cited) shows that increasing the minimum wage to a living wage is good for everybody, even tho it does have trade-offs. I've never seen any economic change that didn't have some negative metric associated with the change in some implementation.

  • Yeah, we'd have to shift tactics. But, without IP law protections, the hacker community would double down on reverse engineering and binary patching. Debian etc. would still be available, but you'd also see spins on Adobe, Apple, Microsoft, and Google software based on decompiling, patching, and rebuilding, or just game genie / PC game cracks binary patching based on offset and signature.

    The DMCA would dissolve and encrypted data that was expected to be decrypted on the fly ("streaming only") would just be published fully decrypted.

    It would be a revolutionary shift, but I'm not convinced it would be worse.

    What would be worse is keeping IP law, but only having it enforced by million dollar yearly budget teams of lawyers and not protecting creators from having their works fed to "AI" and regurgitated as slop.

  • The data given there doesn't support your assertions. Rent and other prices went up, but not as much as incomes. Hours were lost, but fewer people were in poverty. If 40 hours was a living wage, plenty of people in our community would be comfortable working fewer hours. They might only need 40 to survive.

    Raising the federal minimum wage immediately would be shocking, but we'd be better off for it, especially in Arkansas.

  • Do you have data to back up your assertions or are you idly speculating?

  • What were you surprised to learn wasn't actually normal?

  • Ah, yeah, my father only threatened to fight me once, and he never did. (I think he felt I was directly questioning his authority when non-family members were present, but the memory is hazy at best now.)

    It does sound like your experience is abnormal. (But, I'm not really informed; just working from my experience, and hearsay.)
