If the Olympics were permanently canceled, nothing of value would be lost.

  • LA's transit plans are all aiming for a 2028 Olympics launch. If it was not for that, I doubt any of these projects could get the funding in time.

    • Trump's campaign says it's 'not going to talk about couches'

    Jump

  • Wow. Their silence on couches is deafening. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO HIDE?!

    • PSA: Libraries

    Jump

  • The Los Angeles Public Library offers:

    • Free Museums tickets
    • Free Zoo tickets (LA city residence only)
    • Free state park passes
    • You can borrow laptop, tablet, or even portable a Wi-Fi hotspot
    • Free education software (Mango and Linkedin Learning)
    • Free Comics, Music, Magazines, and Movies
    • Free and cheap 3D printing

    Obviously not every library offers all this, but check in with your local branch, and you might be pleasantly surprised.

  • They started putting ads in Windows, a few users switched, but most still continue Windows.

    Google will roll this out and a few users will switch, but most will just keep using Chrome.

    We've already established that most users don't seem to care.

    • Lightburn laser cutting software is killing linux support.

    Jump

  • See, here's the thing about open source, you have the source. You can always compile a discontinued program. You can even update the code if you want. No one can say "You can't run it anymore". I can grab Linux Kernel 0.01 and still compile it. No one will stop me. No one!

    • It's honestly good advice, but I much prefer original hardware when possible.

    Jump

  • Where's the lie?

    Jump

  • With proprietary software, there's always a chance they'll pull the rug out from under you.

    • Linux compatible printer.

    Jump

  • The Ender 3 is the printer I recommend new users get. It's open source hardware and firmware, the devices can be found for as little as $20 sometimes. Bambu Studio, UltiMaker Cura, and PrusaSlicer, and probably loads more are all awesome slicer software that is compatible with a LARGE number of 3D printers.

    • Major IT outage affecting banks, airlines, media outlets across the world

  • Not easy to switch a secured 4,000+ workstation business. Plus, a lot of companies get their support, license, and managed email from one vendor. It's bundled in such a way that it would cost MORE to deploy Linux. (And that very much on purpose)

    • Will 2025 be better or worse than 2024?

    Jump

  • I feel like I'm bracing for impact. I think it's gonna get a lot fucking worse.

    • JD Vance once wrote that he 'convinced myself that I was gay' when he was a kid

    Jump

  • Should we tell him? I think we should tell him.

    • Why do wireless carriers knock on my door in a major city trying to sell 5G home internet service?

    Jump

  • 30 miles south of LA, my choices were:

    • $65 for DSL through AT&T
    • $75 for Cable Internet (That they called Fiber) through Charter's ancient network
    • $30 for TMo 5G when added to my family plan.

    The TMo had more than double the speed. We need competition in this space. All the legacy companies are fat, slow, and lazy.

    Child gets abused

    RW: BASED!

    At this point, they're not even pretending to give a fuck about the children.

    • We are wasting up to 20% of our time on computer problems, says study

    Jump

  • Yeah, I know. What of it?

    • In just a few years, half of all states passed bans on trans health care for kids

    Jump

  • Yes, that's correct. They need puberty blockers, so they can make the decision when their old enough instead of having that decision forced upon them.
