Zoom and Google Meets have both worked better for me.

Probably to avoid “Facebook” people (angry middle aged Republicans and easy to swindle old folks).

It’s a small win but I’ll take it.

I asked my coworkers who are mostly black and Puerto Rican (some of them even converted to Islam; none of them seem like atheists). They all agree that Trump will abolish taxes on overtime and forced child support (they swore that they would still pay for what their children actually need; I guess I gave them a “look”). Honestly, I couldn’t find a real source of Trump even promising these things. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was made up on social media.

It seems that many non-white urban folks voted for Trump. It seems most people just want a promise of food and shelter if they put in the work (people are working so many hours now). There’s probably a logical reason why neither party has a platform anymore.

just the kind of person who enjoys being a contrarian

I thought the end was slightly passive aggressive. It wasn’t bad at all.

The other user did namecall first but I think we of the Linux community have to remember we used free software out of ethics. Things seem more rosy and user-friendly comparatively now but you have to remember the people who have the same ethics will “stick it out” regardless of the end user experience.

I thought your first post was slightly aggressive but this post goes too far. We should be preaching the ethics of free software first; while always remembering everyday ethics so we don’t end up as hypocrites.

From what I’m hearing, Microsoft wants to ban anti-cheat and plenty of other kernel-space software. They are possible security issues (along with all of Windows).

Animals use a lot of body language. So, if AI could lift your tail to “speak” cat, i would finally get impressed by AI.

Being able to set your own hours is something most people dream of. Many conventional jobs have a busy season where 50+ hours is mandatory. I’m glad your friend is able to get a good balance going.

I see. It could be easier for your friend to work with clients over other coworkers. There’s nothing wrong with that.

If it works for you, that’s great. But it’s like @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world said, there’s so many cons to work for Uber.

I don’t know but they beat me to it.

People accept the most ridiculous things. The amount of potential we have to improve everything is enormous.

I cannot imagine it be a worthwhile investment. The only people I know who do Uber are retired and do it out of boredom. Fortunately, I don’t know a single soul who does it for a job (without having another job to do as well).

There must be a good reason why why family quit 11! I’ll trust their judgement on this one.

delivery drivers (7)

I shudder at the thought of driving for work. It’s already so hard to keep up spatial awareness of the crazy drivers for an hour or less. I cannot imagine 8 hours of that.

I’m laughing at myself right now. I keep wishing people would switch to more progressive politics when people cannot even switch to a free piece of software with zero drawbacks even when their software starts blocking other software they use.

Hopefully, they would start a rival company. That would be fascinating to see.

I have a lot of respect for Sway and wlroots developers. They contributed heavily to the desktop Linux ecosystem. However, if you need to explain that much at first boot; you may overload some users. I’m sure tiling in Plasma will get better as they splify configuration and figure out better defaults.

It would be a pleasant surprise to see someone in his class receive a punishment (that is completely deserved) that is more than “a slap on the wrist.”

If the tiling is automatic and the users dont know how to change the size of the window manually (if that window manager allows that).
