To add to your comment, there’s also the corp’s willingness to make things more precarious, as long as it gets cheaper to run and people keep consuming, so the situation might be even worse. In your uber example, they could simply not care for the 5%, stop providing them the service and go full self-driving.

I also prefer to get my software from the distro’s repos, but for software from third parties, flatpak adds a security layer, making it more secure when compared, for example, to aur.

What’s the problem with peer-reviewed open access journals maintained by universities?

I don’t have a full answer, so I won’t try to answer it right now, but I will surely think about it during the next days.

I don’t choose. To continue living is just the default, and time keeps passing, so I’m alive by inaction…

Could we uninstall almost all non system apps, make it autostart and prevent any other app from getting in the way?

A long time ago I tried to run multiple distros in live mode on it and got only one (Puppy) to work. Display, sound, ethernet and pretty much everything worked fine. GPU seemed to be an issue though because NVidia and I couldn’t install the driver (it was skill issue and I think it’s possible to do). But now it doesn’t work for some reason.

Puppy linux has 3 versions, based on different distros. Maybe you tried one version back then, and now a different one?

In this world of enshittification and organizations becoming more and more aggressive, it’s so nice and refreshing to see proton doing the opposite and moving to a better model :)

People tend to have a really hard time understanding evolution, and attribute human characteristics to it.

Do you need stuff to forget things?

If your only problem with tkinter are the looks there are some theme extensions that can make it look more modern, like ttk bootstrap

It can be gross from a human perspective, but at least the ant is unharmed, right?

Running mxlinux on an old pc here, and I recommend it heavily. It’s a lightweight system that is also user friendly for people new to linux.

your comment reminds me of a text I read a long time ago, comparing humans to ants and pointing that we’re incredibly intelligent when alone, but we become less and less intelligent when in bigger groups, while ants seem not very intelligent when alone, but when in groups, they seem amazingly intelligent

But how do they get the food back?

In a way, the emptiness is more terrifying than anything else.

Did you say… MORE pixels?

The washing machine caused some sort of electric failure that damaged a thin client being used as a server

At first, I thought it was some sort of iot washing machine that stopped working due to software error lol.
