  • I tried Pop!_OS alpha1 with Cosmic Desktop and I even if the general software quality is still what you might expect from the first alpha release, I was impressed on the high-level design decisions they made with Cosmic. As a sway user who would like a bit more structure and hand-holding in my desktop, I think I’m gonna like Cosmic in a year’s time.




  • Why is it that we have to talk about these things when there’s an economic downturn? Even Keynes thought that boom is the time to save money, recession the time to spend it.

    I don’t remember any government doing cutbacks or delaying spending during an economic boom. It’s always so that when money is flowing in, spending is adjusted up. And then when the inevitable recession comes, suddenly we don’t have any money and are forced into austerity.

    Is this entirely a symptom of democracy? Because saving is not a popular thing to do?

    I thought the level of discourse has increased sharply since lemmy.world got along, and the effect of lemmy.ml’s somewhat extremist stance has lessened. It’s now possible to mostly actually talk here without blocking half of the whole network.

    So I would be perfectly ok with dropping lemmy.ml from the rest of the network. But I’m guessing that goes somewhat against the overall philosophy of the whole thing? I don’t suppose the idea of federation was to create even stronger bubbles.
