vala@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•Sonetimes i feel like its a lot of work to stick with linux2·10 hours agoI build cross platform desktop software professionally.
Because of this I have to use and pretty deeply understand the inner workings of every OS.
I can state as absolute fact that every major operating system including Linux is an absolute pile of hot garbage.
The difference is that macOS and windows are garbage on purpose. There were deliberate decisions to enshitify them for profit. They spent time and money making the OS worse on purpose.
On Linux most of the shitty parts were designed with good intentions but just kinda suck (Wayland for example).
IIRC Pipewire isn’t really designed for pro-audio / music production. So if you want to do these things, Jack is still kind of unavoidable.
vala@lemmy.dbzer0.comto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What’s your go-to hiking gear in 2025? Here’s what worked best for me4·2 days agoIdk why this is posted on multiple coms but here is my answer again for the sake of content.
Trekking poles. People always make excuses for why they don’t need them and low-key tease other hikers for using them.
They massively improve your ability to cover rough terrain and they also greatly decrease your chances of minor injuries.
That being said, I just carry them around on my backpack because “I don’t really need them” lmao.

Translation: when there is no one to harass we can’t look busy.
Better translation: we are just lonely and used to being able to pay people to be our friends.

vala@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•Ubuntu mod team takes anti-queer "Don't say gay" stance.51·9 days agoHuman rights issues are not political. The attempt by the right to cast them as political serves to suppress discussion and progress by making the very act of discussing these things at all be seen as taboo. We can’t let that happen.
That point aside, libre software is pretty much inherently political.
The idea is just to get there first. If you make it one quarter before your competition then you get a a really good quarter.
Long terms plans don’t matter to CEOs. Long term stability is not rewarded by capitalism.
Yes exactly. We can and should do both.
But it seems most people here would prefer the false dichotomy that implies we can only do one.
People want communism to be a panacea and it’s simply not. Until we understand that as a group, we will never see lasting change.

It seems you are all getting caught in a false dichotomy of thinking that it’s not possible to oppose capitalism and also hold individuals liable for their actions. I don’t understand this.
To me this is the equivalent of saying that Nazis were just following orders. That they had no choice in that matter.
Nazism didn’t “cause” the holocaust. Hitler and the people of Germany did. Nazism was a product of a social illness which has still not been cured. We defeated the Nazis but we didn’t cure the social illness that led to it so look what we have again (Nazis).
Maybe a better word is “force”. As in capitalism does not “force” harm.
Implying that capitalism forces harm excuses the individuals who are truly causing the harm.
You mention “perfect, uncorrupted” communism and this is what I want but I don’t see a reality in which we obtain that without first accepting that “perfect, uncorrupted” communism is NEVER what we get without first curing social issues.
Would I rather have a fucked up communism than fucked up capitalism? Yeah but I believe fascism can accompany either and I would prefer to deal with that first and foremost.
I too want to live in an ideal communist society but I won’t lie to myself and pretend we can get there without social change. That change starts with holding individuals accountable for their crimes against humanity.

STOP YOUR WRONGTHINK NOW!
You are making things too complicated. We just need a different ism bro. Just one more isn bro I promise.
Things are so simple and you are ruining the vibes with your critical thinking.
You think greed is a problem and we need to address social problems before we can fix things? Sounds like some liberal nonsense.
Read Einstein bro, he knows everything because he’s basically like Rick from Rick and Morty but real and the best author of communism there is.
If you don’t just meme the meme then you are capitalism you dipshit dumfuck.

Just a TLDR of the replies you are going to get here (but far less GIFs).
It’s so important to differentiate between commercial LLMs and AI as a general concept.
