iopq , to linux in How bad is Ubuntu?

I tried to install GrapheneOS from Chromium, but online installation doesn’t work on snaps, I had to go hunting for apks because Ubuntu doesn’t allow you to just choose which version of the program you want

That’s the opposite of what I want from Linux. I installed NixOS on my new laptop

I would say it’s fairly reasonable to assume that the selected option is the blue one? If not, that’s definitely deceitful. If it is the blue one, I don’t think it’s purposefully deceitful, just badly designed. Don’t attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence, yadda yadda

Lemminary ,

Yep. I’ve had arguments on the bird site about intuitive UI/UX. It felt like I was talking to a wall. Some devs are just that clueless.

sp451 ,

Only some? I’m constantly arguing with developers of enterprise software and they usually don’t get it. The color of a button to remove an item? Green! They like green …

You’ve just made your first post regarding Arch. The cycle is complete.

While absence of China in Top 10 may be somehow explained by The Great Firewall, the absence of India, Turkey and Russia is totally implausible. Or they might be scanning only torrents of movies with English audio.

spiderman ,

Most of the Indians use telegram these days.

kionite231 ,

Most Indians don’t know about Torrent and Piracy. hell if you tell an Indian they are pirating they would say “what is pirating? we are just downloading movies from Google!”

spiderman ,

on the other hand there are tamilrockers and tamilyogi

The Great Firewall can’t block torrenting, especially not within the country itself. It’s a decentralised protocol though, so trying to block every non-chinese seeder without blocking the wider internet itself would be just a game of whack-a-mole. I also don’t think it’s as simple as just English audio, but English sites. Russia absolutely has a bunch of super specific .ru sites for torrenting. Generally the best place to find patches for pirated video games. I could imagine it might be similar for the Chinese scene.

As well, even for English audio stuff, I bet they’d get reuploaded with subtitles added a lot to sites in places like Russia.

Yeah, what's the issue? Would you rather like 250 options? They'll probably code it so you need to toggle them separately. The color scheme is probably because of the same reason there is just one switch: They don't put that much effort in an elaborate scheme to spam people. It's just the bare minimum.

  1. With authorship comes authority. They get the final say who made something, except where this rule violates or complicates itself. The context in this statement does not matter.

I think J K Rowling is living proof that this shouldn’t be codified, as authorship and fanship should align at least on some axis

shinigamiookamiryuu ,

Fanservice can be good, but it’s up to the author if they want to go through with it, even if that also means it’s up to the fans if they want to indulge. In the same line of thinking, we have a fine line between “canon” and “headcanon”.

The rule also applies to associations. Suppose people in it begin to disassociate from other members. They shouldn’t consider it “wrongful” on the part of the leader and do the whole “oh noes I was removed” routine. It’s an extension of the people who formed it, and imagine (excluding hostility) you being the one in charge and having your claims to your niche crushed. To be an outsider is simply to lack the status of an insider.

How can I make using Arch Linux my personality when once it’s set up it’s just like any other computer?

Well, do you already have a personality that isn’t based on Arch? If you do, get rid of it.

hanrahan , to asklemmy in how do you survive lazy coworkers?
@hanrahan@slrpnk.net avatar

80/20 must about everywhere , work places, volunteer organisations etc 20% of the people do 80% of the work.

eli04 OP ,

in your experience, do managers recognize and pay this 20%? This being nursing, I don’t believe it’s gonna be the case: this is a job nobody wants to do, reason why slackers get away not doing much.

@SuiXi3D@fedia.io avatar

It’s never been my experience in any job. A company doesn’t exist for your benefit, they exist to extract as much labor out of you for the least money.

@WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

The lesson to be learned here is don’t over exert yourself for your job without clear reward—do the amount of work they pay you for. Unless you are in a leadership position, your primary responsibility as an employee is to yourself.

There are whole departments who are there to look after the company’s interest, but it is up to you to look after your own.

lightnsfw ,

The managers might recognize them but payroll decides pay and everyone’s job code is the same to them. When I was a manager I could argue to try and get pay raises for my top performers but it usually didn’t do much good. Firing the shitty ones also didn’t help because it took months to get approval to hire a replacement.

Azzu , to asklemmy in how do you survive lazy coworkers?

resent forced socialization.

is anyone forcing you to socialize? If so, how are you forced?

And because I’m the only one with this job mentality, it’s always me the one who works while the rest do nothing.

That sounds to me like there are too many nurses then. If everyone can do nothing and you’re the only one working, that must mean only one nurse is required, right? Did you inform your superiors about this?

I don’t want to work with people who slow me down.

How do they slow you down? It seems from your post like they just don’t do much, how does that impact your speed exactly? You say while they talk, you can work. Isn’t that the opposite of slowing you down, they’re actually getting out of your way?

eli04 OP ,

stop feeling offended

Azzu ,

?

NTNU ,

I’m not OP, but I’ll go ahead and reply with some possible answers.

I’ll also just use she/her pronouns (guessing op is a woman), as writing him/her may make my comment more tiring to read, and “they” may make it unclear whether or not i’m referring to OP or OP’s colleagues.

is anyone forcing you to socialize? If so, how are you forced?

Shes not literally forced to socialise, but are likely dragged into situations where the consequences of not socialising are worse then just doing it against their will. E.g people getting in a bad mood or being snarky because OP doesnt put on a fake smile and unwillingly exchange pleasantries.

That sounds to me like there are too many nurses then. If everyone can do nothing and you’re the only one working, that must mean only one nurse is required, right? Did you inform your superiors about this?

OP didnt exactly say that she has a low workload, and have an easy time completing all those tasks for others. OP is probably doing way more than is expected from one nurse, and may be headed for burnout.

How do they slow you down? It seems from your post like they just don’t do much, how does that impact your speed exactly? You say while they talk, you can work. Isn’t that the opposite of slowing you down, they’re actually getting out of your way?

They’re slowing her down because she has to do everyone elses work, thus leaving less time for completing her own tasks. This may also impact the quality of the work she’s originally supposed to do.

Azzu ,

All valid points, however it seems like no productive conversation is possible with OP.

lolonaut , to selfhosted in This happens after 3-4 days of running the server, then I have to restart it manually.

I had problems with soft locks because somehow the PSU was in corrupt state, maybe through a black out or something. The problem persisted through reboots and power offs, only cutting power helped.

hector , to linux in So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?

I really like Arch because it’s bare metal but not too much => it’s very easy to choose the components you need for your installation and exactly fine-tune your experience without spending too much time with something like Nix/LFS/Slackware.

  • it’s community supported, lightweight, fast, and easy to use when you know what you’re doing (wow this sentence is dumb but you get me right?)
