In the upcoming Cosmic desktop by Pop!_OS, workspaces can be monitor specific, just like MacOS

Really exciting to see all the new fixes and developments! The release of Cosmic is one of the most exciting things in store for me this year!

The opposite of dystopian, this seems like a great thing. And this isn’t even raising tax rates; just enforcing the laws we already have.

The massive size of vehicles in the U.S. is ridiculous. I think a lot of people would buy smaller, cheaper cars if they were on the market.

Best wishes for a recovery. Thank you for being such a great human being to your cat.

Bark Air, a new luxury airline for dogs, launching flights in May (www.scrippsnews.com)

Why I think this is dystopian: the rich are spending their money to fly their pets on private jets instead of, I don’t know, giving a shit about anyone but themselves. And the government lets them. So, while we gasp at grocery prices, Ivanka Trump’s dog will be flying first class.

I just want universal healthcare. Please…

That 10% off at my coffee shop goes a long way towards affording rent.

Horrifying privacy implications aside, AI has really become the new cryptocurrency.

Don’t get me wrong, both technologies are interesting, but it’s tiring to see both be forced into applications that functioned just fine without them.

I definitely understand your view on crypto, and I hate to be an apologist, but here’s a view you may not have considered:

I think mainstream society has gotten far too comfortable with the lack of privacy in our everyday lives, and this extends to finance. A company has no business tracking the data about my purchases, let alone selling it. The government doesn’t need to know everything I spend money on either.

As with most topics relating to privacy, it’s not that I worry about what I have to hide. I worry about your intention with that information. As one example, if I were needing to buy Plan B for an emergency contraceptive, there is a not insignificant portion of our government and the general population that frowns on that, and could paint me as a target in the future if it was known.

Nothing will change until they start jailing people. Fines are just the cost of doing business in the modern era.

Instead of making phones thin enough to shave with, just give me a battery that could last a few days.

What OS are you running on your tablet? I am running Graphene on my phone, and the battery isn’t bad, but I bought a Pixel specifically for the purpose and don’t have a baseline to compare it to.

For so many YouTube videos, I just end up expanding the video description, and that gives me all the information contained in what would otherwise be 15 minutes of my time.

Family pushed college as the only possible way for me to lead a happy life and make money.

The kids from my high school who went into the oil fields are making double my salary.

The only thing that keeps me tied to any Meta platform is the Facebook marketplace. It is the de facto method of buying and selling used goods in a sustainable fashion.

If there was any alternative, especially a federated one, I’d switch over in a heartbeat.

Switched over to Pop!_OS from MacOS a few years ago. While there aren’t a ton of open source mobile options, I decided to go with GrapheneOS over iOS. Fuck walled gardens.

I use Linux for largely the same reasons I use Lemmy. While I’m still far from strictly using FOSS software, I respect the decentralization and freedom that comes with Linux. I have such a deep admiration and respect for everyday people that create/maintain platforms, as opposed to large companies that seeking to profit off their userbase.

While I have distro hopped a number of times over the past few years, I keep coming back to Pop!_OS. Everything just works right out of the box for me, but still gives me the freedom to tweak my environment however I choose. I love their tiling desktop feature and am anxiously awaiting the release of their new COSMIC desktop.

Positive: Government and corporate injustices are increasingly hard to sweep under the rug, and awareness of these injustices is more prevalent.

Negative: All this access to injustices going on can easily lead you down a spiral of hopelessness if you let it, especially when it seems like nothing is being done to fix the problem.
