Oof, yeah that’s rough. I hope they put something out for the rest of us soon, or at least signal some intention to do so. Promising new Android versions don’t mean much if all the special Pixel features are locked to the newest models.

It feels like she knew she would get fired from this new job, leverage it nationwide articles and get even more subscribers to her OF page. She even references the teaching gig in her bio, and the new job in her latest posts.

Considering teachers practically work 100% of the time, it seems it would be difficult to genuinely perform the duties required while still maintaining a flourishing side gig like OF.

My wife is a teacher. I see how much they have to work at home. She probably wasn’t a great teacher in the first place.

I feel her point about the pay. Considering the hours worked, teaching is barely approaching minimum wage.

You don’t have a point, other than you should just trust your gut or something?

@mistral@lemmings.world Provide me a set of “special characters” as in characters that make others think you’re special if you use them in an email.

Considering the billionaires also own the contracts for manufacturing every piece of military equipment we have… That would get interesting.

Probably not the same billionaires.

100%. Reddit killed the vibe for the people that appreciate it the most.

Definitely this is huge. Proton and the respective Wine advancements are exactly what needed to happen. And the headlines about some games running better on Linux really gives it a good look.

This! Gnome is absolutely a foil to adoption. Everyone I’ve seen try to start with Ubuntu has bounced right off back to Windows. You’re already wrapping your head around a new OS, you do not need an entirely new desktop paradigm.

So happy Valve went with the setup they did.

I would install Manjaro. It runs KDE, which is super familiar, and maybe more polished than Windows. And it is Arch-based, which means you have access to AUR apps, which makes finding programs super easy. It’s like if the MS app store actually had every program on it.

Keeping the explanations simple.

Don’t start with Ubuntu/Gnome. The desktop is way too weird, and app repository is limited.

Don’t start with Mint or Cinnamon or LxDE. Linux nerds will recommend these, but they feel “old” and are not really lighter on resources than KDE.

Highly recommend Arch-based distros. AUR feels like a miracle coming from the Windows paradigm of tracking down installer EXEs and MSIs.

I think the spotlight on KDE from Steam Deck definitely helps. It’s polished as shit, and it acts like Windows by default, and that is a good thing.

We just had a president calling up state leaders to try and reject the winner of the election.

No one took him up on it, primarily because there was no legal basis to do so.

If a state can remove a nominee before the election even starts, that would NOT be good for us. We’ve seen time and time again how political factions will use any leeway they have to solidify power.

I hope the contributors are anonymous…
