Oh no! It's not wage slavery? Listen, we just need you to transfer a symbolic amount between accounts, okay? Like we've been doing for the past 70 years.
Direct slavery is kinda hard to defend, but wage slavery? That makes our shareholders happy, that millions of people get to pull themselves up by their bootstraps the rest of their lives... think of how much character they'll build!
I love GNOME, but Gnome Software is hot garbage. If KDE gets their gtk/adwaita tweaks in place, I might recommend Discover instead.
Also, arguably, by the most argumentative people, AppStream is also hot garbage, which is what was supposed to solve your problem regarding "too many package managers".
I personally would wish AppStream didn't suck and that it was also aware of NPM and crate packages. They've sort of been forgotten or relegated "developer tools"... even though you can pull full applications and system libraries.
How many "it's 2025 already" problems do we have to encounter this year?
Like I'm glad slavery and wage slavery gets a nod, but I can't help but feel like this is "too little, too late" protectionism.
The west literally pinned up all of this, when around the 50s, executives, shareholders and politicians decided to snub labour negotiations by moving manufacturing and fabrication to communist China so they could cut labour costs. .
But you know, socialists and nationalists like protectionism, for some reason, so ew🤮. Plus it's not very "free market". Therefore, sweatshop go brrrr /s
Don't blame the Americans. They don't see that we have our own slow crawl in a race to the bottom. The EU has recognised it and pays lip service, but that organ-grinder gotta spin, spin, spin...
...but yeah, regulation wise Europeans get a ton more representation. In the US representation means which talking mouthpiece is going to serve the instituons today, and then they go do a lil insider trading - as a treat.
This is what people misunderstand. The question is what effect will it have regarding to how certain governments, organizations and companies deal with ICC law. It's not a question of getting Netenyahu arrested, but adding more precedent on file to continue pushing divestment.
If the verdict is passed, it's up to anyone who can use it to weaken the Isreali government and strengthen the Palestinian government, by adding it to the pile of legitimate reasons to cut funding.
So yeah, it's up to government and people in general - as per usual.
Good. No offence to him, as he is the architect behind nix, but nixos suffers from major governance issues, largely thanks to indecision, infighting and actively distilling conflict within the community.
At the end of the day, that whole "benevolent dictator" schtick is just not sustainable.
Also, it's 2024 already. Finish the implementation of flakes. Either that, or strip it out. One or the other. Get off the pot or piss.
With each passing day that is less and less true. Ask any Hong Kong patriot. Even though China technically hasn't annexed them, the Hong Kong leadership leans closer towards Beijing every day. I wouldn't put it past Hong Kong intelligence "doing favours" for Beijing.
Let me just make it clear, having kernel land drivers and user space drivers open source and working together is a good thing.
Sure, you'll have to agree to a licence when installing CUDA, which will probably never be open source, but as long as the GPU hardware can be used out of the box with open source drivers means that we've come a long way.
Artist: creates character's...
Also artist: "how and who would they fuck?"
Let's be honest, this has been a thing long before the internet, R Crumb just being a modern historic example.
