Even communism aside, this is actually not uncommon. One of the advances we've made in construction is knowing how to save even more money, making the right sacrifices and meeting the minimum bars of code compliance, to maximize our margins.
The other two answers are correct but missing one maker thing: many major distributions apply patches to the kernel before distributing. So there are very slight modifications.
Can you talk more about zellij? The docs don't really explain much. It seems to be a multiplexer like tmux?
One reason I haven't used multiplexers yet is that I use tiling window managers, and so the tiling is managed by that through separate terminal windows.
Warp has really cool features (seems to be beyond LLM?), but what kept me from trying is that its not open source, and seems to have anti privacy features, and VC-funded. It is still a very tempting product, so maybe I will try it.
Lemmy doesn't aim to captivate and take over your attention like most social media does. If that's what people want, they should stick to their other platforms.
You live in the country with the most resilient system serving ruling class interests. There's so many levels to keep you occupied trying to penetrate, but you will never win this game if you play it like that.
It is quite rare for an election as major as a senator's not be won by someone backed by money interests. Even their opponents are usually backed by interests. The mere prospect of running requires funds that most people don't qualify for. Just check the wealth of the poorest senator.
But even if you manage to penetrate this, you've only won one seat. Is that enough to make meaningful change? I'm yet to see that in action.
But even if your party of choice wins the Senate. If you're anything older than a teen, you'll remember the "ahh, darn! We only have the house but not the Senate!". But when you win both, "ahh, we have Congress but not the president! This maniac just throws executive orders left and right! We're so powerless". But then you win the presidency and suddenly we all forgot about executive orders. Oh wait, you forgot about the supreme court! Guys we just have to wait until they die. Don't worry, it'll happen any minute now. Oh no don't die during trump! Should've died during Obama. Oh wait one of them did. Wait what?
Yeah if you want meaningful change, this ain't it.
Have a really good keyboard-driven desktop environment.
Many good options for tiling desktop environments.
Extremely good logging, enabling you to diagnose most problems.
package manager-first approach: I don't want to manage package installations, routine updates, and dependency resolution myself. Package managers do the work for me
extreme customizability: I choose which kernel features are turned on or off, and compile them. For example, I can compile in PS4 controller drivers
first class support for the terminal and terminal-driven workflow
Enhanced security system: being able to sandbox apps easily, for example.
Enhanced transparency into the system: can easily get into the weeds of seeing why my Internet is not working.
Exiting cloud being useful seems to be a very narrow use case.
For one, you have to be at a large enough scale where buying and hosting your own infra is feasible and cheaper.
Second, you have to give up the ability to almost instantly scale up or provision hardware in response to traffic or other events. (which is very common at scale)
Maybe his use case happens to be that very narrow case, but this isn't something I would take as general advice.
The article gets way worse. They complain about white Jews marrying non-white jews.
