Economists refuse to use new metrics. Yeah we keep buying “luxury” goods. But that doesn’t mean shit when a daily existence requires stuff like smartphones and laptops that keep going obsolete every 3 years. Are those a luxury when existing in today’s daily life and work requires that I have all this stuff? Is that a fucking luxury? You think I want all this shit? Im happily running linux on my 2012 Mac for all my personal stuff but my work Teams Meet bullshit doesn’t play like that… Put away the old econ textbooks, boomer.

I want a battery that lasts a week, a headphone jack, and an eink screen.

I like having my stable daily driver (currently PopOS) and a separate drive or partition for a rotating distro that may pose more of a learning curve (NixOS right now). So it doesn’t really feel like hopping, more like a stable and a sandbox.

More Palestinians will die under Trump. More Americans will suffer under Trump. More people around the world will suffer with a Trump presidency. But at least you showed the democrats…

Why can’t we just blame the idiots who didn’t vote for her? Can’t it be their fault and not some mystery boogeyman behind the curtain that democratic voters are supposed to feel responsible for?

So a .config file that you can transfer between phones then right? Right, Samsung…?

Biden won the 2nd district by 20k votes in 2020. He lost the 1st district by only 69k votes. If Democrats could turn out 150k more voters they could pick up the whole state. All these small population states are in play. It’s their outsized representation in the electoral college that is the source of the gop even being in the race.

The Biden/Harris ticket had enough votes to win the democratic primary. Did anyone not think that voting for that ticket was also a vote for Harris in the case that the 81 year old candidate had to step down? That was indeed the case and here we are. What is the hangup?

Wezterm is my daily driver.

I’ve been working through this on my old 2012 Mac Pro. My issue has been my graphics card. In that era any non-mac graphics card won’t give you the boot-screen you need to choose which OS to use, or even to choose a USB boot for installing the Linux os. I got Refind (a super light bootloader) to work with a bit of extra tooling. You can also use opencore, but that is more challenging and makes a lot more changes.

For real. Are they trying to make me NOT want to be that guy, cause…

Yeah, proper cohort attribution seems to be a little lacking by this data analyst. I’d say gender bias has already occured before your specific sample point… bro

Pop! Os user going on a year now and I can’t recommend it enough, at least as a first distro.

Good point. I can see that.

I tried Ubuntu in college and people told me it was a phase… joke’s on them.

Why? No worse than any other job market right now. Sure Google layoffs get headlines but it’s not like tech skill are getting any less employable across sectors. If anything those skills are more critical now than ever.

Do you have Nordstrom Rack near you? They often have new cashmere marked down to 20 or 30 bucks.

It’s time to think beyond personal enrichment. That kind of greed got us into this mess.

Test strips. PSA: Everyone should test their drugs and carry narcan.

Reckless headline by Politico. The article does not provide any quotes from the administration voicing concerns about journalist access.
