Tipping is fine, but only as a bonus for excellent service. There shouldn't be a "suggested gratuity" or some shit like that and also obviously shouldn't be counted as part of the employee's salary, like in the US

• Slave labour in prisons.

It would be nice if prisoners of non-violent/minor crimes could (voluntarily) work (at maybe a lower wage than usual) and and they would be able to get what they earned once they get out of prison.

It's fine as a concept, it allows you to live somewhere without making a commitment long-term.

But there needs to be more regulations in place, like maybe making it illegal for corporations to buy residential property and requiring by law that any new residential building must have the option to buy as well as rent, with regulations to ensure it's a fair price.

What should we use?

It's the plural of "lalea", meaning "tulip"

All bottled water - no one needs them and it's plastic that's here forever

Depends on where you live. It's a bit ignorant to say "no one needs them". Also sometimes you have no choice, like maybe in an airport.

In other news, the sky is blue

According to the article there is a pull request which should fix it.

I'm Gen Z and use all of them

Yes, except we shouldn't "pitch" it as a total change if we want it to happen. Unfortunately the general public has been brainwashed into believing we are basically either terrorists or we belong in an asylum. It's insane but it's the world we live in....

I hope we (as a society) start moving towards this sooner rather than later......

Why are people downvoting this....

There may be a point when we don't need nuclear, maybe once we dramatically level up our battery technology, but that point is not now, and probably not for the next 50 years

I don't disagree with you, but this is unrealistic. Starting the whole principles of society from scratch is never gonna happen. We should focus on making sure that, while we still "build and build", it is in a sustainable way, using renewable energy sources, as well as nuclear.

Edit: this is not saying we don't need societal change, there are definitely lots of things that need fixing, but it's never gonna be done all at once, completely different. What needs to happen is we focus on the core of the problems, fix that now, and then it will end up looking completeley different than what we have today.

I really hate this about Lemmy sometimes........

Lemmy doom scrolling!

Out of curiosity, what would happen if you do?

As a Romanian, that would be overestimating our ability to maintain roads.

A non-consumer focused OS. One focused on serving commercial industry.

Linux was actually developed as a (kernel for a) desktop OS. It doesn't focus on the server or the desktop, distros do that.

What distros did you try and when? In 2023, you can totally set up Ubuntu or Linux Mint without using the terminal. Obviously for "power-user" settings you might need to use the terminal or edit config files, but just as regular users cannot do those things, they also don't need that functionality.

Because it is. What is an "industrial OS" anyway? Also it's important to remember that "Linux" is just a kernel (the software that acts as a "bridge" between the rest of the OS and the hardware). Android is Linux, Ubuntu is Linux, Arch is Linux, Debian is Linux, Slackware is Linux, etc. And yet those are vastly different OSes. You would maybe run Ubuntu, Debian or RHEL on a server (which maybe you could consider industrial). But you would never use Arch or Android on a server. Android is the most popular mobile OS, would you consider that industrial? And for the desktop, the average user would use something like Ubuntu, Linux Mint or Fedora. But you'd never use the graphical version of those on the server and I don't think they would be considered industrial OSes.

So anyway, what's your point exactly?

How is it not? You never have to go in a terminal 99% of the time (and on Windows there are those cases as well). The only reasons I use the terminal is either to edit my Nix Flake and rebuild switch, which is only because I use NixOS and would not be required on Mint, to use Distrobox, which wouldn't be needed on Mint as 90% of Linux app are either Deb Packages, Flatpaks or Appimages or simply because I find it easier to do some power-user stuff in there. But for the average user on Mint, they wouldn't even need to touch the terminal.
