Any suggestions for overcoming addiction to capitalist big tech social media and streaming etc?

  • For a YouTube replacement, maybe look into Nebula, it's a subscription streaming service, but owned by the content creators, no ads. It also has some podcasts.

    Regarding music, I listen mostly to somaFM. It's an Internet radio with lots of different stations. Mostly independent artists. It's free, no subscription, no ads, listener supported (you can donate/buy merch to support them).

    • About 300 Arrested in Berlin on New Year's Eve Incidents

    Jump

  • I don't think it's related. It's been a new years tradition in Berlin for years.

    I have friends and family in Berlin and I spent new year's Eve there five years ago. It was totally crazy. People shooting fireworks at each other in the streets and from/to the balconies.

    I ended up with a jacket full of burn holes, and we were in a kind of quiet neighborhood on the outskirts of the city.

  • Yes, I agree it's a lot.

    I think that with "recruiting" and "HR services" they mean outsourced services, so maybe not all of it goes directly to the employees.

  • It's not only salaries:

    about half of Signal’s overall operating budget goes towards recruiting, compensating, and retaining the people who build and care for Signal. When benefits, HR services, taxes, recruiting, and salaries are included, this translates to around $19 million dollars per year.

  • It says that they have 50 full time employees.

  • Great game! Just finished it on the Steam Deck.

    Now I'm starting Botanicula. Loving it so far

    • I have an old wireless ball mouse with a sync button, can i make it work?

    Jump

  • Yes!! I used Linux back then (still do) and I absolutely hated M$, but I loved the Intellimouse.

    Jump

  • I created a new steam account with a different email address just to order mine on a different country than my main account. You might need a local payment method for the country you are shipping to. Not sure if that's the case for Europe, but it's required for some countries.

    • GNOME 45 Release Notes

  • The option was there, but it wasn't ready for every day use. The performance impact was significant. The couple times I tried it, it was practically unusable. The UI also showed a warning about performance when you enabled it

  • Great game! And very playable on mobile too. I also enjoyed Shapez a lot. Looking forward to the sequel.

    Plus, my boss bought an arcade cabinet for the office, so I've been playing lots of different arcade games, mostly Golden Axe, Bubble Bobble and Street Fighter II

    • Coders, what is your workflow on Linux

    Jump

  • I code in C/C++. Work laptop is windows, but the products run on various Linux and Unix flavors, as well as in Windows. So I use Clion on win, that syncs the code changes to a Linux VM for building and testing. The toolchain is in a docker image, so I can change the build and test environments without affecting each other. Since I need to test on different OSs, I have multiple VMs in a server at the office.

    • Here’s a playlist of 7 hours of music with NO VOCALS I use to focus when I’m studying /coding. Post yours as well if you also have one!

    Jump

  • I like SomaFm. Lots of different ambient music stations without commercials. I Specially like SpaceStation and DroneZone for coding.
