😒🤚display manager

😏 👉 startx

i’ve never tested start-up times with each but startx just makes a lot more sense when you’re just using a WM manager anyway. bonus points for looking cool and impressing your non-tech friends when logging in though

When you need a drink to wash down the Pizza Hut

I’m going to assume that the vast majority of homeless people do not want to be homeless. Homelessness is a direct result of the conditions created by capitalism, and under a socialist state such conditions would mitigated to such a degree to eradicate the issue. Guaranteed food, work, and housing is how a society eradiactes homelessness.

Anything can be used as a catalyst, it all depends on the organization and the clarity of the message from those fighting against this and who understand the systemic causes that constantly lead to this.

Are you using AnySoftKeyboard? It’s the only FOSS keyboard I know of, and it does have a decent autocomplete. It can be kinda janky with it though, but it’s the price to pay as it doesn’t try to “learn” what you’re typing, but once you get used to it it’s really an incredible keyboard and I prefer it to the AOSP keyboard.

NFTs are the attempt to secure “scarcity” in digital commodities. There’s an absolute guarantee that the ruling class would love to NFTize everything it could online in order to profit off of things that instead could be digitally copied and redistributed endlessly.

The irony of them having a discord community

If it helps you see my init.vim. Just a reminder to add ~/.local/share/nvim/lsp_servers to your $PATH so that any installed through the nvim-lsp-installer plugin are found.

It’s tangential, but what’s helped me has been this plugin https://github.com/williamboman/nvim-lsp-installer/.

Makes it very easy to install, find, and update any language server available for neovim

This might be better as a bug report, but have there been any issues logging in? I can login on web normally with either username or email, but both Jerboa and lemmur give me an “invalid login” error every time

It’s one of the distros I’ve had in my “one day will test in a VM” list for a while, but so much turbulence makes me wonder how long it’ll last.

I pull the COVID numbers daily so I can see the disasters that are the US/UK vs a few other countries. If I really hated myself I’d set it as my fish greeting lmao

Yeah technically there wasn’t, a slowdown for sure at the start of the pandemic becoming global in 2020 but that’s about it. There’s definitely one coming soon for sure.

However I always take issue with bourgeois economists saying that a few years after 2008 was when the economy began to rise again. Sure if you go by the stock market and other such metrics it wasn’t 2008, but the rebound basically affected businesses; I saw very little difference in improvement for the working class post-2008.

I’m just glad whenver Void gets more attention, it’s honestly incredible. Definitely not for inexperienced Linux users, but it’s a more sound choice for “minimalism” than Arch is. And an AUR-type repo could easily be maintained if users wanted it given how flexible xbps-src is.

Hell yeah, the people’s republic should never rely on closed-source software, especially Western

It’s all relative and obfuscated given we’re trying to place software development under definitions of social thought, and similar as to how Marxism isn’t about trying to place your family’s store in either the bourgeois or petit-bourgeois bucket, it makes it even harder to place specific software under definitions as well. So take this as just a fun exercise!

But I guess based off my previous examples, you could say that Signal would fall under a category of more “socialized” means of production but for the profit (in this case “profit” as Signal’s dealings are murkier, this is a good read on it) in the end for someone else, or “socialized” production under a capitalist system, which is still exploitation; the closest real-world example would be co-ops. While co-ops are those specific workers technically owning the means of production for that specific company, but it still being a company working within capitalism, it doesn’t change anything as it’s not societal.

One could argue that, and it’s something that makes sense on the surface. But anarchism at its core is about the destruction of what’s seen as unjust hierarchies, with decentralization a part of that. Anarchism is in the end about the individual: it places individual freedom over collective freedom, as can be seen , for example, at their dismissal of every socialist project due to apparent “authoritarianism” over structures in place (i.e. “hierarchy”) to maintain collective freedom of the masses.

Each lemmy instance has a hierarchy and rules put in place by that hierarchy that limit individual freedoms. All users aren’t congregated together to jointly come up with instance or community rules, etc. Even in the most “open” forum we have, the internet, hierarchies are still in place to maintain a smoothly functioning community.

The argument to make is that libre software is more communist as every person has the means of production in hand (a computer) and strong copy-left licenses limit individual freedom (you can’t take the source code and use it for profit without making it open) for collective freedom (the code is always open source for people to use/audit).

Wait until companies start to have this on the phones and laptops they issue
