If you're the type of person with an opinion on on how software should work, there are options to make it happen.

It's been my first trip back in a decade, just looking through my options in the core repo these days has made me giddy. I worked for years as a Windows environment sys admin, half my tools went out the window for directly better options almost immediately.

Most of the open source software you'll find had someone who thought there was a big enough issue to roll up their sleeves, so lots of the projects are answers to questions you haven't thought of yet too. The entire orientation puts fixing things ahead of profiting off them.

Thank you for this, been hunting for a decent gesture typing option for awhile. Floris board had been decent, but the lack of actual suggestions was brutal to work around.

Don't miss the collab with the octopus project if this is your vibe. Psychic swelling was how i hopped on this train.

I'm a bigger defender than most of Consider Phlebas than most, but it's a product of age.

If you grew up with Star Trek and Neuromancer, the first book kind of splits those wickets on utopia/dystopia neatly in a way I don't think holds up as well afterwards.

Player of games is a much neater intro, but the ambiguity of the first book felt intentional, and it's always interesting to me to see peoples reactions to that called shot.

I must have read that description of 'damage' a dozen times.

I don't have a study to cite on long term bias, but Scripps used to be newsy which used to be at least serviceable for what amounted to AP syndication.

I didn't have a clue they were still around till just this instant, but at least the foundation is not something that sprung up yesterday as a Russian puppet.

Things like this make me wish the traditionally anti government party wasn't a bunch of loonies, because they'd be the ones pushing this to public conscious in a way that might move the needle.

I don't doubt the intentions of (some) progressive members of government, but they're outgunned and have a long list of priorities. Getting legislation to reverse this isn't coming from corporatists, the infinite retention is going to seem like a feature to business.

Using the stock market to measure a recession has to account for continually rising rates at which money is rented. If you can see pretty massive cases of consumer level inflation while businesses struggle, you already have a hole money is leaving.

Watching the evergrande saga unwind over the course of years should give an idea to the extent of run time it will take to see results, especially when it is in the interest of investors to prop up value.

If you have the patience letting the drip of communities surface through your instances 'all' feed has been a good way to take in the growth.

I have an account I don't normally comment from I leave all the memes unblocked for killing time, otherwise it's been a lot of negative filtering and following interesting comments.

If you're self hosting that's a different problem.

I laughed a little because I'm not sure I ever grew out of the expectation of everything being a little broken. You are going to learn so much you could have done without.

On a more sober note I'm not sure adding a business model fixes the problem anymore.

If we paid for our anonymity like toll roads or subscriptions we box out people who can't afford it. Commodity level information isn't likely to be decreasing in value any time immediately.

If equitable access is also on the list, I don't see anything but regulation and taxes getting you there. Just look at the steam store prices outside the first world and you have an idea for how poorly it could go.

It's a hurdle out of the way, and I've got some tempered enthusiasm as long as ComEd doesn't touch it.

Unfortunately any construction is going to have a long enough tail the opportunity to grift off this one will outlive JB. Maybe we defy gravity for once in Illinois.

Thank you, added to the list. Gonna tear up some disks spinning up all these VMs.

I'm less worried on an intro to Arch than I am being able to just standardize on the same repos I'm already staring at when I inevitably have to answer questions over the phone. I know a few people like my dad (lapsed unix) who could afford to remember what it's like outside of the walled garden, but too much friction is going to drive them off, ui or otherwise.

I actually started looking around for this myself as a way to recommend some easier intro points.

I'll have to take a look at popos from the comments, but anyone have any experience with how well maintained Manjaro is these days?
