If you are organizing a union NEVER EVER use company controlled channels to communicate about it. This is organizing 101.
At the same time, make sure that whatever you do use is private and secure. Union reps will warn you about how companies spy, and it is not paranoia.
That is exactly what happened. All corporations operate like this. They know what they are doing is illegal, so they just use words to warp reality however they like. It’s the Republican strategy.
I am looking forward to Light No Fire and have played countless hours of Minecraft and Star Citizen.
“Too big” doesn’t exist as long as I am enjoying myself.
Yes, but Graphene is even better. The downside is that Graphene doesn’t currently support non-Google devices.
We do not blame workers for their systemic exploitation on Lemmy, particularly those who have organized or are fighting for organization.
Sometimes I forget that Italy, despite its history, is currently under control of far-right neo-fascists.
It’s now slated to leave beta on December 11. I plan on giving it another try at that point, because I loved the Cosmic beta but kept running into frustrating GUI bugs. I’m back on KDE Plasma for now, but keeping a close eye on Cosmic.
CAD is going to be your achilles heel, unfortunately.
If Blender can do what you need, then you are fine, but if you need CAD for things like architecture, I’m afraid it’s one of the most painful gaps in Linux, currently.
Try Bazzite first. If you find you need more control, then switch to Fedora KDE.
Avoid POP_OS for now. Their new desktop environment is currently in beta and it still has some bugs. When it finally releases later this month and the remaining bugs have been fixed, it may be worth a try. The nice thing about Linux is that it’s very quick and easy to install, so you can try different distros quickly and easily.
I recommend getting yourself a dedicated thumb drive and put Ventoy on it. Ventoy lets you selectively boot to any iso you put on the thumb drive. It’s just wonderful.
If one of a companies products kills someone, the CEO should be personally liable civilly and criminally.
I don’t hate FUTO, but I distrust them.
On one hand, their operation is creepy and suspicious.
The extent of the FUTO “grant program”, at least in the case of musl libc, involved ignoring musl’s established process for institutional sponsors, quietly sending a modest one-time donation to one maintainer, and then plastering the logo of a well-respected open source project on a list of “grant recipients” on their home page. Rich eventually posted on Mastodon to clarify that the use of the musl name and logo here was unauthorized.
On the other, I like the idea of licenses that allow unrestricted private use and modification but forbid commercial exploitation. Those two situations are not equivalent. I realize this is an unpopular opinion in many FOSS circles, but we are already being exploited to death by the rich and powerful and they must not be entitled to the value of our collective free and voluntary labor. If we ever realize a society in which wealth and power is effectively capped for such entities, then I would change my tune. Until then, fuck them. Our collective software is for the collective, not for wealth hoarders and despots.
I love KDE and have it dialed in exactly how I like it. I was able to get 90% of the way there with the Cosmic beta, which is good enough. The way you can toggle between tiling and floating is incredible. If I hadn’t kept running into frustrating GUI bugs I would have stuck with it.
One other little thing that bothered me was the file manager GUI. KDE Dolphin is hard to beat, and Cosmic’s default is beyond bare-bones in comparison. If S76 keeps investing in Cosmic it could be the best DE by a mile within another year or two.
Remaining developers have begun openly protesting the company.
