Terminator 2: Judgement Day: The Linux Distro

Very nice, thank you.

Is the conference being livestreamed anywhere?

I’ll learn to cook the books!

I wonder, if I specialize in fediverse development, would that help me get a job? Is there work in the fediverse?

Bring back ostentatious codpieces for the dudes

They never went away in my house.

Why do you need curtains on your windows?

To make sure the whole world isn’t just a window for the HR department. I can have “dissident” views, or just talk trash with my friends, and not get fired since it wasn’t at the office.

To make sure real dissidents (from totalitarian countries) can express their political views.

So a lady can send her husband feet pics without some secret agent spy gawking at them too.

So I can share my family’s secret BBQ sauce recipe with my cousin without Arby’s stealing it (they have eyes everywhere).

But these are all specific things. The truth is that we simply cannot trust institutions with all our data. I don’t need a reason for privacy. They need a reason to have my info. Security is a legit reason to seek citizens’ info, generally, but you should need a specific security-related reason to access a specific person’s data.

Oh nice, fellow Canadians doing the good work.

I would greatly prefer public sector development. I’m just being fatalistic about how our oligarchy conducts itself.

I like democracy, but I don’t like our short-sighted (4-8 year) election-campaign-based governing. But between our public and private sectors I know we can meet this challenge and make this happen.

Man, I wish we (Canada) were that ambitious. I know lemmy hates Elon Musk but I really admire his ambition in technical pursuits. I’m not saying we need more Elon Musks, but we should pursue more grand projects.

I don’t remember ever expecting much.

I never heard it before.

First Trump’s idiots will do something stupid. Then Kamala will overreact and do something stupid which infringes on all our freedoms, like extra spying and cracking down on speech and curtailing the right to protest.

In order to answer this, I’d need to compare the efficacy of both the for-profit and the non-profit organizations. In some countries you don’t get paid, and I don’t know if that leads to blood shortages.

By “self hosting” do you mean serving apps from your own computer, where that computer is always online so you can access your own apps from the net on a client machine? Even when you’re at work or out in the city?

I think most of us have a good idea of the benefits and drawbacks of Linux/Windows/Apple.

I have a Windows machine for media production, because Linux doesn’t support all the software I need for media production. I use Linux for absolutely everything else, because it’s better for literally everything else. In truth, a MacBook Pro would be better for media production but they’re too expensive.

I’m quoting OP’s summary (or quote). I’m implying that Microsoft is hostile to Linux installations generally.

“wasn’t supposed to”

Thanks for the downvotes I guess? Not sure what’s wrong with my suggestions…
