The humans from the mid 1900s and early to mid 2000s are so fucking stupid, and had a drop in their IQ for the one for the sole reason that people before them knew they were fucked up and desperate, but these ones are totally delusional, unhinged and believe in propaganda like fact, and that they romanticize working as a cog in this manipulative, filth-ridden machinery. Also, fuck them for not doing anything to stop the evil corporates from polluting this planet.

I’m 24 and I’ve not done anything. Kids, if you’re reading this, it wasn’t worth anything. Stop listening to alpha/sigma bros, just go and have fun. Grift is all a lie.

Not relevant to the topic in discussion, but I like the simple site design. Someone really needs to work on the long-ass page - at least limit to five blogs on main page and add the pagination in a separate blog page. Scrolling was a weird experience.

Librera can read PDF - there’s also a dark mode. The app isn’t the best looking, and the controls are unconventional, but you’ll get used to it.

Funny how it isn’t popular in countries with population several times larger than the USA. I guess every outside of the US can see through the bullshit of corporate-hijacked open-source.

Wrong, India and China has the highest number of engineering grads. From NSF:

India awarded 2.5 million S&E first university degrees in 2020, followed by China (2.0 million) and then by the United States (900,000).

With a younger population that is more than ever, a need for laptop would be in the highest demands. In fact, if you check the desktop market share for Linux in India, it is the highest, at around 14%.

velox_vulnus , (edited )

With the largest group of people graduating with an engineering degree, you’re telling me they don’t use Linux? Just check the stats at NSF for the number of degrees awarded in S&E.

India alone has 14% in the desktop market share for Linux. China’s market share is not easy to tell, thanks to the firewall, but 90% of government computers use Kylin and other Chinese-developed distros.

Snaps are a default no, obviously. Most of the points by Flatkill still hold true to this day. Apart from that, I have my own set of disagreements which I’ll not be talking about - basically, stuff like reproducibility, storage space, inconsistent permissions, inconvenient configurations, outdated runtime - well, you get the point, so I’ll not be expanding on that.

My primary disillusionment towards Flatpak has to do with how people with shared backgrounds and vested corporate interests have taken over open-source - in this particular case, I am talking about Big Tech. It’s almost as if the space for a community-developed organization is hijacked by them - by them occupying core positions of the organization.

These organizations do not follow a horizontal approach to decision-making, they often come up with decisions without consulting folks that aren’t within their direct circle, and worst, when they’re held in a tight-spot, they can evade any criticism by appealing to authority - that they’re the maintainers/contributors, and they know what’s best for the project’s future.

The same is true about funding - it is always through members of the company that they’re indirectly funding these projects, that I can’t help but feel that the “community”, aka the outsiders never had the chance to be a part of the decision-making.

Flatpak may have it’s share of poor features that can be fixed - sand-boxing can be improved by using permissive containers that allow particular shell variables, installation will throw dialogue, informing the users beforehand about the permissions these apps will need, developers may be forced to use proper run-times, and perhaps, some of the runtime be eliminated to use system dependencies, thereby complying with storage compliance - I don’t know, but it could be fixed. But this invisible, unspoken flaw in the governance? No way.

Oh sorry, I should’ve mentioned why I hate RedHat. Well, I used to like it. Like is an understatement, I used to love them. Because I was one of those college grads who wanted to take part in RedHat’s Tev-Aviv program for the open-source AI and software stuff. I was so thankful and enthusiastic about contributing to Linux. And even though I was not selected, I would embrace their products, and related OSS projects - I ditched Ubuntu, and stayed with Fedora for almost four years, before I had a change of heart last September.

I didn’t want to go on a political rant, but here we are. The world ain’t single-dimensional, chief. It is the culmination of every factor that makes me hate Fedora, Flatpak, systemd - am I forgetting something else? I hope not. Not every opposition to corporate support of open-source is some unhinged boomer rant about the good ol’ days of X11 and POSIX-compliant shell - well, I’m a Gen-Z kid, to begin with. I couldn’t give a rat’s ass about the advancement of open-source, if the cost is supporting another corporation responsible for the Holocaust, Nakba and Apartheid. Those injustices and deaths were avoidable. As someone from a former colony, I can not, and will not tolerate enabler of these atrocities.

I wish I could, but given the condition I’m in - soon-to-be 24, unemployed, mentally poor, no heirloom, no inheritance, no labor laws, high levels of pollution - these aren’t ideal conditions for a child.

I’ve also never courted a woman before - I can probably not, because it is my intrinsic bias that I won’t have anything to provide from my end, and that I don’t want it to be one-sided, and also because personal circumstances - abusive family, you know.

I don’t want another cog to this exploitative capitalist machine. I guess I’m just unlucky, but hopefully, this suffering ends with me. This makes me feel a little sad, but I don’t want to be selfish.

And no, I’m not taking care of adopted kids. There’s barely a few rupees in my account. Worst case possible, I want save it for the endgame.

I used to own a Hotwheels’ '68 Shelby GT500 car, but I lost it - think some kid stole it. That was almost eight years ago.

If I had to be honest, I would love to own a electrified, rally version of the 60s, 70s and 80s BMW. I’m not talking about the touring models - they look ugly as hell. The four-door version with large ground clearance and fat tires - I love it.

The new DeLorean Alpha also looms really cool. However, I’d consider the Hyundai NVision 74 as an unofficial successor.

“Linux kernel was a blot, so here’s our new kernel, written in system-langd, compiled using systemccd using the maked build system. Normal assembly was also a blot, so we came up with sasmd. The whole hardware is a blot, so we came up with hardwared. They’re all tightly integrated. The name of the company does not vibe with our vision, so we are renaming it to ibmd. Your brain is also a blot, so here’s braind. Now you can dump that outdated, prokaryotic fleshy crap and use systemd instead.”

Imagine what would happen if one service goes down. Fucking hell, the Armageddon is real.

Broadcom is one of the worst companies when it comes to proprietary Wi-Fi cards. Use the non-free Debian ISO - but that still won’t guarantee if the installation would be a success.

Quoting from nonguix:

Some Broadcom wireless hardware requires a proprietary kernel module in addition to firmware. To use such hardware you will also need to add a service to load that module on boot and blacklist conflicting kernel modules:

How do I explain two years of doing nothing to a university for masters?

Ever since I’ve graduated on September 2022, I’ve not had a job. Maybe a crappy internship, but I wasn’t provided with a ‘certificate’, or letter that proves if I’ve worked for them. That was around October 2022, and I quit voluntarily at the end of January 2023. Since then, I’ve not worked anywhere as a software...

Just pick a non-systemd distro instead of reinforcing this fear-mongering nonsense editorializing. I can’t tolerate corporate stooges putting their dick in our space, so I’ve switched to Guix. You have a choice, you can switch if you want to - nobody is stopping you. This way, you are also helping the maintainers and the contributors by giving them feedback.

NAL, but I think it won’t be considered open-source, as it violates rule 5 of the open-source definition. What if the person does not want to share butt-hole? Doesn’t the license discriminate that people sharing butt-hole pics are only permitted to use this software? What if they don’t have a butt-hole to begin with, and use a colostomy bag? What if they shit and bleed in the same hole, cuz they were fused at birth? It is also not enforceable. What if the party in question shares their painted navel, their wrinkly skin, or their reproductive organ (foreskin tip, vaginal canal) as the butt-hole? They could also share the butthole of a dog or a horse? You will also have to issue stool samples and ass-tissue samples? I’d recommend that you consult a lawyer who specializes in shitty laws.

Hmm, interesting. I think it would be better if this was escalated to the Congress - I’ll ask my distant cousin, who’s the head of chief, responsible for monitoring people jerking off to lizards - there’s a separate department for that. As @neidu2 pointed out, bribe your local politician in favor of record butt-prints as a legal form of SSN identification. Now, another advantage of this political move is that this one-time image picture could be encoded to base128. This new encoded data, added with the nonce, that is, the current time and a pseudo-random string onto the blockchain. That will get them analcoin skeptics.

What does the world think of India?

I am an Indian and I have noticed that Indians are way too proud of their country for some reason and at the same time lack any civic sense towards it, they are extremely loud and extremely proud. We feel like the world revolves around India and our culture is superior to that of others. Also, a considerable chunk of the...

velox_vulnus ,

I’m not sure why you have negative connotations towards your own identity. As an Indian myself, I love Celtic culture, especially revivalism of European paganism and witch-craft as an alternative sub-culture. And well, Irish people are based cuz they were anti-imperialist back then towards European colonies, have some really fascinating history with Native Ameicans, and even today, with how most ally towards Palestine. Ireland is probably one of the few countries I see in a very positive light. Oh, and Irish Coffee looks like something I’d love to try.

velox_vulnus ,

Yes, but not a person. I was 14, coming back from school, and I saw a kitten bleed to death. I kept walking on my way to home, but it saw us, and kept following and purring at us, limping in pain, maybe asking for water and aid, after it was probably hit by a car, or bitten and thrown around by dogs. It’s flesh wasn’t gouged or anything, there wasn’t anything gory about it, but it was bleeding profusely. I did nothing, because I wasn’t able to process what happened, and continued my way back home.

It’s a stacked/multi-level pie chart. If you read the single level, it highlights results for a single instance.

The first level is the overall ‘tankie’ and ‘non-tankie’ percentage across every instances.

The second level divides that between lemmy.ml and non-lemmy.ml instances, using color as an indication.

The third level divides that between hexbear.net, lemmygrad.ml and other instances.

lemmy.world has comments in their community, where they call for the nuking of developing countries, when they read news of social injustice. By that logic, their ‘civilized’ country should be nuked thrice, because cartoonishly evil, rich scumbags like Jeffrey Epstein and their associates still have a free pass for raping minors in their creepy sex-dungeons.

Downvotes are for rule breaking content, not for covering your big feelings.

You’re wrong about that. There’s the report button for that.

By the way, I did not down-vote you, but about the criticism towards your work, yes, the info-graphics isn’t well done, because you crammed all that in one single image. I was able to read it, but it was painful.

Another concern is the small dataset. It is in two digits, which isn’t a proper representation of the general consensus.

Have you tried Triangle Strategy?

The question you’ve asked makes use of wrong terms, if I had to be honest.

Your question is loaded under the assumption that Gujarati billionaires are colonizers - but that is not what colonialism is. Gujarat is a state, formed after the breaking down of Bombay province into multiple other states, including Maharashtra and Karnataka.

If you’re talking about the hoarding of wealth, mostly by upper-caste/class Gujarati people (be it Parsi, Gujjar or Marwadi) who have formed the equivalent of chaebol, or what we call in Hindi as व्यावसायिक समूह (business groups), then it’s crony capitalism, not colonial capitalism.

velox_vulnus ,

The terms OP has used is wrong, but the ground-reality is that Gujarati merchants are making a fooling of the naivety and illiteracy of lower-caste small-land owners from other parts of India, and bribing district commissioners.

velox_vulnus ,

Also add the apartheid in Mumbai towards Marathi natives and large-scale hording of Dalit lands in Mysuru.

But nonetheless, what you’re talking about is actually text-book capitalism - as is described by most communist writers.

I’ll recommend that you give the Das Capital manga a read. Or read the original, English translated version of it. It is a really hard book to read, but you’ll understand as you go on, word-by-word, page-by-pqge.

What was the best Linux laptop you’ve had so far?

velox_vulnus ,

Oh, cool. I’ve been planning to get a second-hand L14 Gen 1 with AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U, 16GB (2x8) SODIMM RAM and 512GB storage, although I do have a choice to pick a slightly expensive X390 with Intel Core i7-8665U, 16GB soldered RAM and 512GB storage.

At least from my perspective, I could upgrade the L14 to 32GB and 1TB, but if I were to get the X390, I could use it as my main device to SSH through another second-hand ThinkCentre or a similar mini-PC.

Since they’re both imports from the USA, I wanted to avoid paying duty and tax by having it bought through a distant relative from the US. Only if there was a way to buy second-hand laptops from China to India.
