Marxism is the one thing that has given me hope for the future when everything now constantly looks so bleak.

Richard Wolff is who got me into Marxism personally.

Originally, yes. It was made to help people in countries with censorship get around censorship.

Nowadays it’s maintained by the Tor Project.

Well it wasn’t made by the US Navy, it doesn’t allow for clearnet traffic, it allows torrenting over the protocol. I’m sure there are other differences too.

It’s like Tor, but different.

What’s preventing you from installing Asahi Linux?

Well you see, they put it in page 69 of their EULA that got updated last week that they emailed directly to your spam folder. Since you didn’t opt out of that clause my sending a registered letter to their offices in Uganda, Japan, Washington, and Ukraine, it is considered that you agreed to the EULA.

At least until Big Tech realizes that hallucinations in generative AI aren’t fixable and the whole stock market crashes.

Maybe don’t make a network-enabled microwave, then. What an unnecessary IoT appliance.

Greedy corporations pay the lawmakers to bicker over bullshit instead of regulating them.

Either wireless adb, or sometimes a USB A to USB A cable with the power cut will work.

Wireless is easier.

Try either installing via adb using the “-g” argument to grant all permissions, or try granting permissions manually via adb.

I use it on my Android TV to reduce the brightness further during nighttime. I don’t change the color temperature, though.

AMD has been supporting Linux officially for a very long time (both on the CPU [and chipset] and GPU side of things).

Can it even still be called “middle class?”

Ah. I don’t use Adobe products, so not really willing to test myself.

I know of the GitHub script to install PhotoShop, but wasn’t aware that the rest of the suite worked.

There are vendors who sell laptops that come pre-installed with Linux. Only thing is that they’re a bit more niche. Dell is probably the biggest name who sells computers with Linux as an optional OS on their website, but IIRC they brand it as “developer editions”.

Otherwise, you get vendors like System76, Tuxedo, Purism, etc. (Maybe Framework, but IDR if they even install an OS)

I still don’t think that you can walk into a store and buy any of the above.

Not that installing Linux is difficult; in fact, it’s easier than installing Windows IMO. Most distros come with easy-to-use graphical installers with easy-to-understand language, even for newbies. They also come with a live environment that lets you try out the distro before installing it. Thing is, most people aren’t even going to bother trying it.

Like darktable?

The only real limiting factor is that most computers that you just walk into a store and buy (and are not made by Apple) come with Windows, and people just use whatever comes with their computers.

People rarely switch even default settings, let alone the entire OS.

I’m sure if computers came with Linux, there wouldn’t be that many complaints from casual users after they got used to it.

The hardest people to switch over are the Windows power users in my experience.

Pirating Adobe software is exactly what they want you to do. Their business model relies on businesses paying for their license because people already know how to use their software, in large part because people pirate it, and also they have deals with schools to teach their software.

What Adobe actually doesn’t want you to do is to learn the software of their competition, since that’s how they will lose money in the long term.
