Could it be that marketing is an inherently pro-capitalism line of work and its practitioners are unlikely to be altruistic enough to volunteer, especially for something like Free Software?

And more to the point, your work computer should be provided by your employer. If you’re buying that shit yourself, you’re a chump who’s being taken advantage of.

I’m not surprised. It seems like only the unethical companies have growth and turnover these days.

What’s the ETA on a commercial reactor actually providing significant amounts of power to the grid? Is it still “a few decades,” like it’s been my entire life?

whereupon they cold-called me to ask why i was so frustrated despite apparently being in the 95th percentile of all applicants

LOL, “despite.” You were frustrated because you were in the 95th percentile of applicants! Only the shittiest of the incompetents would put up with that nonsense.

a very low-paid job because the work is not for an unethical purpose

Are you hiring?

Zen 3 chips would take roughly just as much rare earth materials to make as Zen 5 ones. Moreover, raw materials availability isn’t the problem right now anyway; fab capacity on the latest process nodes is the problem.

Lucius shouldn’t have that power either! It’s not an issue of being “stable enough;” it’s an issue of anyone having it. Frankly, your argument kinda proves my point.

It’s analogous to a limited hangout. Sure, they acknowledge it’s wrong, but that doesn’t stop them from doing it and they suffer no bad consequences for that choice. Really, what’s the Aesop people are actually going to take from it? The one based on the demonstrably empty words, or the one based on the actions?

That’s not enough. Everybody else needs to quit using it too.

No, problem is not solved. Ceasing to use Reddit yourself is necessary, but not sufficient. For the societal harm to end, everybody else needs to quit using it too.

“This is wrong” — Lucius Fox, The Dark Knight

Prescient, and also an example of copaganda/how corporate media conditions the public to accept this shit because the “good guy” is the one using it.

Ah, TIL. I just figured it was the KDE-est general-purpose distro.

But still, shouldn’t it at least have a development version of Plasma Login Manager sooner than any others, for testing?

Fedora will be the first distro? Adopting it even faster than KDE Neon, a distro made by KDE itself?

Do you have to be European?

Wish I knew about that trick back then! I shelled out for an X4…

Bulldozer was AMD’s Pentium 4.

To be fair, I upgraded my main desktop directly from a Phenom II X4 840(?) to a Ryzen 1700x without owning any Bulldozer stuff in between.

(I did later buy a couple of used Opteron 6272s, but that’s different for multiple reasons.)

What on earth is that much system RAM needed for lol.

Web browser tabs.

Would you happen to have a source for that? Admittedly this is based on nothing more than my anecdotal experience living through it, but I owned a PocketPC back then and I distinctly remember feeling like I was in the minority compared to Palm or Blackberry.

I’m OOTL. Why don’t people recommend GitLab?
