Seriously. I might not be a great “Marx Scholar” and I don’t think the revolution will just be a peaceful process “whished into existence” but I don’t think Marx was Dunkin g on anti authoritarians here and to presume the “dictatorship of the proletariat” is the long term free society of Marx ideals is utter garbage. Communism will be anti-authoritarian or it will not be.

Damn would’ve upvoted but it’s at 161 upvoted rn AFA ;)

The whole European grid is connected (which is a miraculous feat). And yes, there is a European market for energy where countries can sell surplus and buy in high demand situations.

I agree but recently the user themes extension broke notifications and I've already slimmed down my extensions to only the most necessary ones … So now I'm honestly thinking about trying Plasma properly.

MHH interesting. I honestly haven't really given kde a fair shot since KDE4 maybe I need to force myself to use Plasma 6. Gnome has really gotten on my nerves lately. But I also know that on Plasma I will mostly recreate my gnome experience (Super key, hot corner …) since these are so ingrained in me from over a decade of using gnome.

Incredibly I've had two printers I've never really had issues with.

1. The brother laser my sister uses with Ubuntu without a hitch since forever
2. The canon inkjet printer/scanner that is wifi connected in my flatshare

Antennapod does offer that by hooking into the gpodder.net API.ive had varying success with gpodder.net but hosting that yourself (I host it as an app on my Nextcloud) is a breeze

1. Not an American but sure fight the strawmen.

2. To say all the hostages are European Settlers is just such a false view of the facts. A lot of these people weren't settlers. And to assume they are "European" (by which I assume you mean White) is also wrong. There are Jews (and Arabs) that live (and have lived) in this region for centuries, also there is a huge population of Jews that are black or general POC.

"If Israel didn't exist there would be no people fighting against the existence of Israel" … What the Fuck?

What kind of role reversal is that blaming October 7. on the "occupation" seriously? I'm not saying Israels government didn't have a hand in creating adversity and Terrorism by suppressing the Palestinian people but to claim the horrific massacres were there fault is just plain evil.

Oh I can be mad about it >:(

Seriously gateways should be first or last address in the space. Fight me!

As a Linux nerd and Privacy/Open source advocate it's tough to admit. But I can't use DuckDuckGo. I work as a Linux Sysadmin and Google is the only search engine reliably returning good results (especially on more obscure topics). With DuckDuckGo I've often noticed that it will simply "drop" words from you search terms (i.e. if you search "yellow computer chair" it might just show you any kind of yellow chair or something like that) which makes it unusable for precise searches.

Can't quite speak for the n100 but I got a n305 one of these "China PCs" it's passively cooled (which was important since it's running in my bedroom) and seems to have amazing performance for what I need (I put jellyfin on there). I'm quite happy after futzing around with ARM SBCs and external drives this just works so well.

Jup same here. We have a colleague that constantly reminds everyone that we're not properly patched (even running eol versions) but there's always something to be done that's a higher priority.

I work in hosting. We mostly use Proxmox for our Hypervisors which is already a step up from "bare" KVM in regards to convenience/ease of use (especially for High availability scenarios and the like) We also run VMWare and while I don't love the "locked down you gotta do it the VMWare way" nature it's often so much easier and the HA is mich more convenient. Also it has proper functionality for custom resourcing/access/billing.

Funny I had to Google ci" to remember what it does even though I use that sometimes.

I've committed to learning vim years ago and in most situations im faster in vim than in nano etc. (especially because of muscle memory) I still feel like I'm not properly using vim to it's full extend (like whenever I remember using registers it feels like magick and I'm sure there's more like that)

What? How broken are we all that you first thought is "Nice then I can work two jobs" The only way this really works if they pay living wages for 3 day work weeks. And I know they aren't even paying those now for 5-6 days but this is a point we have to insist on and make them do it. Workers have managed to enforce a 8 hour work day a long time ago. We need to remember our strength and fight for better conditions.

I remember the first time I saw ads on YouTube, I had just set up a new computer and wanted to test everything. So I opened Firefox and loaded a YouTube video. I got a preroll and wondered "wait ad's, on YouTube?" Then I realized I had been using AdBlock for so long I never witnessed the transition from ad free YouTube to YouTube with ads.

These days I use unlock origin, Sponsorblock and revanced. For now it still works but maybe I'll leave YouTube soon :/

Yeah they're using the hell out of dark patterns and then switch them up mid process i.e. clicking the big green "Ok" Button will first be the one that gets you to pay more later you need to hit "Ok" to proceed without additional fees.

I recently went through the process with a friend. Both of us reasonably tech savvy and under 35 and we almost went mad. So it's not just old folks.

I appreciate nano as a choice. Sure. But if visudo opens in nano and suddenly I have a bunch of "yoi:wq" in my sudoers I'll be upset.

It's a stopgap but Teams for Linux at least gives you Wayland support, choice of seperate window sharing and background filters
