I go by the same username on world and frozeninferno.

danielton,

Please add more examples to the list.

How about an example of Wayland forcing me to use GNOME like this rant alleges? I hate GNOME but have been using KDE with Wayland for like two years now.

danielton,

This is a rambling of how Wayland supposedly forces everybody to use GNOME, which is BS.

The rant even includes an admission that the author didn’t even know what Wayland was when it was written.

danielton,

Hey, all I want is for Linux hardware vendors to stop selling nvidia’s trash!

danielton,

Is there some law that every modern musician has to cover Wham’s song? Because it sure seems that way.

danielton,

Because you’re on kbin. I don’t use kbin because of the lack of an API and because of weird bugs like those.

danielton,

The awful screen is one big reason I don’t use my System76 laptop more often. It’s the worst laptop screen I’ve ever seen, has terrible light bleed, and has a pink tint. And this is the warranty replacement they tried to charge me for. The first one had the same awful screen, but kept freezing on me randomly.

And the damn thing STILL has hardware features that only work on Windows 10, five years later (like multi-finger trackpad gestures). I’ll take System76 seriously when they start putting good screens in their laptops and get rid of nvidia.

danielton,

Great. I’m not using a Dell. I have a laptop from a company that supposedly supports Linux first. A company I will not be buying anything from in the future either.

danielton, (edited )

Ice Cubes, Mammoth, and Mona aren’t on this list either. Ice Cubes is the app that got me to actually use Mastodon regularly.

“We’ll also use union actors to tell our team members why unions are bad.”

danielton,

Cmd+Ctrl+Spacebar on Mac

danielton,

And it’s definitely not helping that the biggest Mastodon instance for artists is pretending to be progressive while being hostile to the LGBT community. Mastodon has a chance to snatch up artists who are pissed off about Twitter, and of course they’re going to check out mastodon.art not knowing about their bullshit.

I’m not sure what the solution to that should be, however. Take down mastodon.art? I’ve been telling people to avoid that instance, but non-techie people don’t understand that the Mastodon developers don’t own it.

danielton,

You’ve never gotten into an argument with someone who says they tip their mechanic and doctor and thinks everybody should do the same?

There absolutely are people in the US who believe that everybody you interact with as a customer should be tipped because they believe all the propaganda from the likes of Readers Digest and Wall Street Journal. They believe everybody must be tipped because covid and “How are those jobs any different from being a server? It’s a SERVICE!” It’s beyond ridiculous. I worked in retail and food service (not tipped) for a long time and would have been embarrassed to have to resort to begging for tips.

Tip culture worship is real. I’ve run into plenty of people online and offline who think that tips should be mandatory everywhere, of all walks of life.

danielton,

Yup, I’ve seriously gotten into arguments with people who insist on tipping the doctor.

danielton,

Depends on which MacBook Pro you’re talking about.

If the MacBook Pro you’re talking about is the 13 inch model with the touch bar, then get the Air, but if it’s the model with the M1 Pro or Max, absolutely go for that. Besides a faster chip, the 14 and 16 inch models have a better port selection, screen, and speakers.

However, the model with the touch bar is essentially the same computer as the Air but more expensive.

I have a 16 inch MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro chip and it’s still a beast.

danielton,

Then I’d recommend saving the money and getting the Air.

danielton,

The Apple devs are probably lucky enough to not have to deal with snow.

danielton,

Since covid, most coffee shops, restaurants, and other hangouts open at 6 AM and close by 3 PM in my area. My only options are bars.

danielton,

Sure, because everybody who owns a computer, tablet, or smartphone is a web dev. Obviously.

danielton,

Needs more jpeg

danielton,

Like water for chocolate…

danielton,

In the US states that still do this nonsense, it’s 8 months on daylight saving time (summer time), and just four months on so-called “standard time.” We should just stay on summer time all year at this point.

danielton,

Why am I not surprised? I wish we’d just pick one and stick with it.

danielton,

Aaaaand this update adds everything that was on my wishlist!! Images in comments, the bot indicator, and being able to turn off tap to collapse were the three things I’d wished this app had. Thank you so much!

danielton,

This is clearly not a taco rule

danielton,

Glad to hear this! I’m excited to see where Memmy is going! It was the app that got me hooked, after all.

danielton,

That would be nice if the instance wasn’t always overloaded. Ended up blocking the Piped link bot because of it.

danielton,

Well, I guess they managed to achieve their goal of copying Elon.

danielton,

Elon simps are already going “lol $1 i literally paid more than that for my coffee”

danielton,

I wish Wayland had support for multi-finger gestures. I know my System76 laptop’s trackpad supports them on Windows, but Windows is trash. I use them all the time on my Mac, but I just use a mouse on Linux.

danielton,

I’m using the latest Plasma on Wayland on Arch and NONE of those gestures work!!

I am NOT using x11!!

danielton,

I have a System76 Kudu from 2018. I won’t buy anything from them again, honestly. It was overpriced for what it was, and the screen is awful. And it still has features that only work on Windows 10. Not at all what I expected from a company that claims to be Linux-first.

danielton,

Yet another Linux-first OEM that sells nvidia’s garbage. No thanks.

danielton,

Unfortunately, it’s still where the majority of the art community resides after the enshittification of deviantART. Fortunately, I have other ways of staying in touch with the “best of the best” among my artist friends now, but there are still many holdouts.

danielton,

About 10 years ago, Angelo Sotira ($spyed) fired one of the other co-founders, Spot, and started pitting paying users against non-paying users. Free users had a marker on their profile saying “Needs Premium Membership.” The site also marked whether you were a paying or free user everywhere. Sound familiar?

They drew more controversy in 2018 when they hired this marketing firm to come up with a lackluster new logo everybody hated. Because, you know, it’s not like they had a bunch of artists using the site or anything.

danielton,

I have Mastodon, and I only know one artist on there. The majority of them are still on Twitter even though they hate it.

danielton,

Needs more jpeg

danielton,

I think it needs more jpeg

danielton,

I learned that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. And that busywork and adhering to the rubric is far more important than learning or producing anything useful.

danielton,

Sure, because a margin being off by a quarter inch should be worth more points than the actual content of the paper.

danielton,

And then have the media (Wall Street Journal and Readers Digest especially) tell everybody that yes, tipping everybody everywhere is the new normal and we need to get used to it.

I’ve gotten into so many arguments on Facebook with people who tip their mechanics and doctors. People are eating this shit up.

danielton,

Just wait until you get a tip prompt on a self-checkout kiosk.

danielton,

I worked in food service and retail for a long time, not tipped. The idea that I have to leave a tip for putting my stuff in a bag and handing it to me is ludicrous to me. Employers can pay less because they can tell new hires they get tips.

Business owners need to pay their damn employees and stop using the registers to beg customers for more money.

danielton,

Yeah, it’s happened to me a couple of times.

danielton,

And this, folks, is why tipping culture continues to get worse.

danielton,

Tipping culture and living wage are not the same thing at all. It’s the owner’s responsibility to pay a living wage.

Plenty of places, even in retail and food service, pay a living wage without resorting to using the registers to beg.
