I found a thinkpad with a radeon GPU for only 200 which was nice.

It will never stop because X is a terrible name and means nothing without “formerly known as twitter”

Ones of the reasons I like Pop, they install a recovery partition with a copy of the install USB, finally they have a ‘factory reset’ that reinstalls the OS while keeping the users home folders.

I disagree, I think protesting during working hours is kind of the point, same as a union protest during working hours. It affects the corps bottom line, the only thing they care about.

We already have a social credit score, we started it in the 80s. Its called credit

Stop talking to the type of people that care about what phone you have.

Were you running Wayland by any chance?

Oh, can you tell me how to disable all the tracking then? https://youtu.be/IT4vDfA_4NI?si=9kY3yD5yceifSyq8

Its really not a good OS anymore.

Which half am I in?

ChatGPT isn’t a search engine. Its just a more powerful version of the tool that you see suggesting the next word to use on your phones keyboard.

Its guessing how sentences should look based on ones it saw in the past. That means it makes stuff up

If you want to support Linux devs and continued development, I would buy from System76, Tuxedo Computers, or even Framework.

If you’re going to buy used then yeah the Thinkpad is fine.

Here’s a link to the original video https://youtu.be/0-7PSmYYHF0

I just installed TrueNAS on a desktop with a lot of SATA slots. https://www.truenas.com/

Right, there’s plenty of people also not getting paid anything for their work. This “You shouldn’t care about money” feels like a straw man argument to OP’s argument which I think could also be said as “OSS isn’t sustainable unless everyone is paid a sustainable amount”.

It’s just all around frustrating. It has that same energy as “You criticize the system yet you’re a part of it” example. For example, I wont be able to show this thread to my landlord when rent is due saying, “You shouldn’t care about money, I’m an OSS dev so I dont”

So in closing, I guess I wish everyone had a UBI to be sustainable and then yeah OSS itself could be sustainable as a hobby project.

This is my recommended gaming distro, its actually works from my experience unlike the 3 different arch based distros I tried.

It depends on the person and their experience obviously, but for me, trying Linux back in 2020 felt like when I was new to computers in general and was poking around and learning Windows XP for the first time. It was fun seeing all the different settings options and features that were new to me.

I unfortunately can’t reach it from Kbin yet, I think I have to wait on the weird automatic creation thing Ernest’s account does, or maybe it’s completely manual *skull emoji*

Capitalism invented inventing things lol

Edit: my favorite capitalism invention https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence

Take time for yourself, I don’t think anyone’s going to blame you for that. And honestly, I don’t have any issues with the current state of Kbin, there’s a couple bugs here and there but it’s entirely usable otherwise. Finally, I think giving yourself a deadline to resolve personal issues might be counterproductive and make you more stressed than you should be. It sounds like you’re already taking steps to help spread the workload around, I would just keep spending a little bit of time helping out the team do some stuff you can’t do until you’re able to get a better work life balance or something.

I guess I’m trying to say, things are great to me and I imagine you’re getting that unfortunate side effect of only having people who have something to complain about reach out whereas everyone who has everything going well isn’t saying anything. So, in my opinion, you can stay to course (as long as it isn’t killing you mentally) and I don’t think the site is suffering any for it.

Thanks for the list! You might want to edit !pop_os because they moved to !pop_os, no longer on kbin
