I'm thinking about switching to SteamOS since it's built for gaming. Most of my games run fine on Linux Mint, but not all of them. I also heard Valve say "it's just a PC", does that mean it's suitable for software development too?
...what kind of brain damage did the rep have to think that was a viable defense? surely their human customer service personnel are also responsible for their own actions?
but i mean... the entire reason unions work is because of a mandate from the masses. if they close an office the only reasonable counter-action is for every other office to unionise too.
medical fields usually have some sort of clause that prevents complete strike, like the postal service. you can still strike but in that case it's without union authorisation.
here the metalworker's union is paying striking workers at tesla 125% of their regular salary and have the funds to continue doing that for about 200 years.
nobody is keeping people from organising. sanctioned organising, yes. but that right was only granted due to unsanctioned organising in the first place.
no i'm reading everything you're saying but it seems to me like it's one of those "it doesn't work in the us because x" arguments. yes you've been oppressed, yes the laws have been written against you, yes the odds are bad. do it anyway.
sweden hasn't had residential power lines on poles since like the 70's. when i visited north america in 2008 i was shocked by the aerial rats' nests everywhere.
idk where that place pulls from but i pay $.08/kWh. when i lived further north it was $0.02.
there was a period where the prices went to what you quoted but that was in connection to the nord stream sabotage where germany's prices skyrocketed and ours were dragged up along with them.
is there supposed to be an image in your comment? anyway, some more specific numbers then.
the stockholm region, the most populated area of sweden, is a bit less than twice the size of the city of houston TX, with about the same population of 2.3 million people. but the population density of the area is about 1/4th that of houston, at 380/km^2^ compared to 1400.
meanwhile the norrbotten region, the most sparsely populated area, is just above alaska in population density.
it's been unchanged because http got more popular.
there is a vocal part of the indieweb that does not want encrypted communication because it increases the system requirements, and because it disincentivises sending sending any sensitive information. i don't really agree with that assessment but i do think there is something to not sending stuff you don't need.
yeah corporate environments continue to be a pain point. IT wants centralised management a la intune/GPE, i want to be able to use proper terminal tools for automation.
last time it came to a head i moved into a vm and refused to come out for two years.
My partner expressed an interest in finding a game for both of us to play. She doesn't play many games, and I generally prefer single player games so I find myself at a loss for what's out there that we might like. Hoping the community here can help!...
It's very nice to not have a dozen different versions of the same distro to parse through and figure out that are simply the same distro with a different DE. Moreover, very few of them offer this many options....
reading the manual is sort of compulsory if you want to do stuff like changing DEs, and for most people (read: the 99% that don't know what "operating system" means) the mere existence of a choice is enough to cause paralysis.
i really do like the new wave of "opinionated" distros like kalpa, cachy and aeon where the system takes care of most issues rather than the user having to deal with them. shows maturity. but this selector screen sort of runs contrary to that. either be opinionated or be fully free, imo.
idk if you've ever tried to guide people unfamiliar with computers through troubleshooting over the phone, but my experience is that the more explanations are given the more they despair, and the more choices are given the more confused they get.
yeah but that's a step removed. if i'm helping someone set up a machine i will usually make the media beforehand, but they need to be present to set up their name and password.
when you install a DE as part of system setup it's usually preconfigured by the distro maintainers. otherwise you need to do that configuration yourself, which is more difficult.
