  i can even kind of think of how to manage something like that, it would just work on only with 100% remote work and would also require quite a lot of cooperation and competency from the clients

  the problem was probably more about being potentially an operative for north korea.

  if usa was a democracy and people had any power, maybe…? might as well try oust putin out of power, maybe the response is still less violent than it would be in russia, but you’ll have as much success. Though with enough people demanding something, change happens or steps toward change start to happen, but way america is you need really thorough rebuilding of your entire political system for things to get better.

  But as quick patch one thing that comes to my mind is abandoning both sides of your oneparty system and starting a third pary, but that is just temporary because eventually it will be either taken down or corrupted, but it might give you at least something without having to resort to more violent measures.

  I see, then that is indeed part of the problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The RAM crisis could completely change how developers make video games⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So something good might come from all this potentially?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Sound of Contamination: All Analysed Headphones on the Central European Market Found to Contain Hormone-Disrupting Chemicals⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  yea, and also when compared to literally drinking poison or shooting yourself to the head. What does it matter regarding the issue at hand if there are other things that are also bad? What would you compare the cosmetica to when its time to consider the bad stuff that causes?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Sound of Contamination: All Analysed Headphones on the Central European Market Found to Contain Hormone-Disrupting Chemicals⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  “safe” level does not mean ineffective level. Maybe its not danger to health but it can still cause something bad. Maybe it accumulates in time, maybe it cases changes in the body that cause something slight that you wouldnt even think to link to this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  see it as it is; full of shitty people with maybe some decent ones sprinkled here and there, owned by even shittier people.

  Develop some contempt towards corporations in general -> it goes long way to help resist their bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Haha yes society is great⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Expectation to spend money sidelines all the people who cant afford it. Its not nice to sit somewhere and watch everyone else buying stuff and knowing you yourself cant.

  Third spaces = freedom to come and go and stay as you please.

  Try going to some cafe and never buy anything at all, but spend entire day there. See how it goes for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI error jails innocent grandmother for months in North Dakota fraud case⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  using and trusting llm at all for something like this is the crime here…

  but then again, maybe this is just test run for taking away “unwanted” people, using handily mistaken facial recognition as excuse. If cases like this start happening more its propably that, and if they start happening enough people will lose interest and it wont be covere by media so much anymore. And after that they have neat system where they can capture anyone they want and can claim “mistake” if they get caught.

  though its kind of spineless of the people to rely on outside forces to do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels — practice infuriates consumers, brand denies wrongdoing⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  be more vocal about how shitty this kind of behavior is and show support to those who are vocal about it.

  If small loud minority can have effect on things, loud majority has big effect. It could for example lead to having protections against this because politicans would start to feel like their position is threatened if they dont, and if enough people care then they actually might be.

  What does it even cost to you to be vocal about something that is wrong? People do it all the time about stupid things too, so why not do it for things that might benefit you?

  And i dont mean be vocal just about this particular tv brand pushing ads all the time. i think its obvious but i have noticed it apparently isnt often.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels — practice infuriates consumers, brand denies wrongdoing⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  i wish people were less tolerating about this shit. most likely users of those tvs will grumble a little at first and then just accept and eventually disparage anyone for speaking against it.

  people should get way more angry about this publicly.

  just think about how things used to be 50 or 100 years ago. Having a huge scandal could actually end someones career or put down a company. Now there is nothing shitty people and companies can’t do because everyone is so apathetic they wouldnt care if they themselves are the victim.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨System76 tries to talk Colorado down over OS age checks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  being asshole towards less technically adept people about linux should become something that gets you seriously shamed. that kind of behavior hurts ALL of us by reducing popularity of linux and this reducing developer interest in supporting linux, which also means less drivers for critical components which in turn might mean your pc just cant utilize linux.

  Personally, i have issue of internet getting randomly cut off due to too old drivers for my network adapter/chipset/not sure. The motherboard i use is one of the latest there is. This issue has apparently persisted for years now, according to forum posts about it. -> Someone else would just return to windows because this is quite insuffreable even for me. But personally i’m happier with malfunctioning linux system than correctly working windows.

  it seems if game hasnt been specificially made in such way it will not work on linux, it will work much better than on windows ever. For me, not a single game i have wanted to play has failed to work on linux. I even got star citizen to work by installing it according to guide and using windows emulator. On steam, even some really old game, longest journey (from 2000) worked flawlessly when i tested how it will run.

  the thing is, alternatives need to be able to cater also the tech illiterate. Otherwise we will have growing number of people that will just accept all this bullshit and eventually start to view more free systems with suspicion(after some propaganda from corporations), which might lead to pressure to limit/restrict those free systems in personal usage.

  We really need a distro that we can recommend to some grandma who can barely open their pc by themselves and which they can use easily and safely. Since most people use pc for mostly browsing and maybe printing,text editing, i think it shouldnt be too hard to make something that is easy to use since you can leave majority of functions off and mostly have to think of ease of use/automation.
