People worked 12 hour shifts 6 days a week back then with no minimum wage. A lot of people lived in company towns and didn't even get paid in real money. Child labor was legal and widespread, although some shit hole states are getting back to that.
Things are bad now but anyone who thinks it's as bad as it was in the gilded age is either delusional or extremely ignorant. There's a reason the progressive era happened, people were pushed beyond their limits and propaganda couldn't make up for that anymore.
Hey asshole, if you don't want to tip waiters then you can stop eating out. Especially on a holiday. Fuck this entitled attitude that you get to punish workers because of cultural/business decisions out of their control.. And fuck lemmy for upvoting you.
People absolutely live near active volcanoes. They have some of the just fertile soil on the planet. Naples, Sicily, Hawaii, Iceland, Japan, Indonesia etc. In fact Iceland is almost entirely powered by geothermal energy.
The argument would be that on Linux, the majority of user-facing interactions are with GNU software, not the kernel.
Also, without GNU, Linux probably wouldn't even exist, at last not in its current form. GNU was already a mature toolchain when Linus started working on Linux. So it's all well and good to point out that Linux can get pulled out and combined with other toolchain, but you can say the same with GNU. It's out there running with BSD and Darwin. And BSD might not have a ton of direct users, but it's extremely important for servers.
You don't need Linux to run a free operating system, which was the goal of GNU, it really doesn't matter that Hurd was never completed. The goal was achieved so there hasn't been much incentive to develop Hurd.
I personally don't care what people call it, but I do think GNU deserves the recognition. Especially because some of their tools are extremely important, like gcc. Linux might not exist if gnu hadn't provided a functional toolset for an operating system. Hell if it wasn't for GNU, we might not have a free OS at all.
Well we have Linux as the kernel now, and with linux-libre and FreeBSD there's no real need for another kernel. So no reason for anyone to invest in it. I do think Hurd is kind of interesting conceptually, and it's at a point where you can actually run it now.
And yeah, without GNU, I'm not convinced Linus would've bothered with Linux. GNU was off the ground long before Linux was production ready.
Chrome does have tab groups, but I don't find them super useful. Automatic grouping by domain would be nice for my usage since I only use chrome at work.
Lol @ trying to invoke privilege when most people killed by DV are shot. Having access to guns doesn't save anyone. Fuck you for trying to manipulate people this way.
Yep. And they also used to do the stupid brain teaser stuff back in the day. That's what happens when you hire out of touch PhDs to design your hiring process instead of people with real world experience.
It's worked to a fair degree in gaming but yeah, not really a viable solution. Especially because the crowd itself is slowly getting robbed of its money.
Google is one of the most engineer driven companies out there. Their engineers are simply massively overrated. A ton of leetcoder kiddies got into FAANG companies over the years and a lot of them are just plain shit as professional developers.
Edit: also the way they evaluate engineers drives them to create half-baked products that get abandoned. It's incredible how they still haven't figured out that people want stable, maintained products, not "innovation" that doesn't actually help anyone and never turns into a finished product.
A Debian blend like SpiralLinux might be better for less technical people. Debian is one of my favorite distros but it's pretty bare bones and requires some configuration to become an everday usage desktop.
Domino's is way cheaper than an actual Italian pizza in the US.
It's also shit pizza, I'd rather buy a frozen one and put my own stuff on it. Then it's cheaper and better.
