No we don’t, we have 400+ years of capitalist history to tell us what comes next; Oligarchy, neo-feudalism…

People: Cory Doctorow didn’t invent this concept. Read a book.

It will end up being like FreeVee on Prime for anyone who’s ever watched a movie or anything on there. They straight up randomly just inject ads in at random times, often not even during scene breaks. Characters are sometimes mid-sentence… Oh, and we’re back to the volume of the ads being 2x louder than the movie itself because I guess that law Congress passed way back in the day only applied to cable and broadcast TV.

It makes it nearly unwatchable. So get ready for that experience.

Oh great. Can’t wait for Sony or something to come in and completely ruin the IP with a movie or some shit.

Man, the way that headline begins, I thought he had died.

On a macabre, but related, note: how long after Gabe’s death before Steam goes public and turns to shit? I’d give it 6 months.

I don’t know what it is you want to distribute, but if it is newsworthy or political in nature, I think most media outlets (like “legit” ones like WaPo, NYT, etc.) have ways of contacting them through Tor for situations where the person with the information might have legitimate fears for their safety (e.g. whistleblowers).

But that’s really only for a certain type of “post.”

You seem confused as to what defines a term. The thing written in a dictionary comes from observing the real world. The real thing isn’t constrained by some written words on a website, it’s literally the other way around.

You seem to think if it’s not explicitly in a dictionary, then it doesn’t define a word. That’s not how the real world works.

Yes, and take that a few steps further: does that need for profit ever end? Where does the idea of “constant growth” eventually inevitably lead?

Fair enough… It’s been nearly a month since I commented here so I don’t remember the exact situation, but if having a lot of updates was an issue, then yeah maybe not EndeavourOS. There may be LTS versions, but since it’s based on Arch, I’m not sure. I personally don’t mind it, and have yet to have a single issue with an update “breaking” something (though I have Timeshift set up to take a snapshot before updating just in case), but I guess

I could see someone being annoyed by having the little thing pop-up to tell you how many things you could update, but I kind of like it I think. It kinda feels like I’m very slowly, incrementally, making my laptop better, albeit usually in ways I can’t even perceive at the time.

But hey, everyone has their preferences. That’s why there’s a billion distros to choose from.

I second EndeavourOS. My first distro and it’s been a great experience. I’ve felt no desire to switch.

Steam/games have worked great.

It will be far far worse under Trump.

Yeah it fucking sucks. Trolls and 14 year old edge lords with no understanding of how the real world works

Yeah, this behavior has a name already, it’s called “rent seeking.” It’s kind of annoying that so many people think this is a new phenomenon.

Lol @ thinking Musk has even a basic grasp on the physics that his employees work with. I bet you think he “invented Tesla” too.

Have you tried using reader mode in Firefox? Or did they fix that one? Still works for me on other sites like New York Times.

You can do all of that with most basic file explorers. I use Dolphin on KDE. Change the view to “details” and right click the top and choose which metadata fields you want to show up. Then you can sort or filter using metadata.

Extras is the best thing they ever did, and yeah it would have been shit without Merchant.

A true agent of chaos

But regardless of what distro they use, they’re probably going to have to Google stuff every now and then. If they’re not ready for that, then maybe they’re not ready for Linux.

I switched a few months ago, and EndeavorOS is the only distro I’ve used and see no reason to switch. It’s been fantastic.
