even if you were ok with renting a printer for some reason, I find it so creepy that HP needs to monitor all the stuff that gets sent to the printer.

Also I hope whoever decided that everything needs to be a subscription service is having a bad time.

I didn’t even realize Pay and Wallet were two different things lmao. Apparently, I use Wallet

ya middlemen is a good term for it. I don’t think that it really needs an entirely separate branding from capitalism, but idk i guess that also makes for an eye catching headline.

I agree that governments have the tools to deal with these kinds of things. It’s just getting them to actually do something about it that’s beneficial to us as average people is the tough part lol.

lol Yanis is def making the rounds cuz of his new book. He also talked about this on Adam Conover’s podcast, Factually a few weeks ago.

iirc he’s saying that we’re at the point where some of the richest people have moved from owning the means to actually produce things to providing platforms for exchanging goods for money to happen on, while basically charging rent. He compares it to feudalism in that a company like Amazon or Apple with its app store are feudal lords who come in and collect money off of each transaction made by the “serfs” (people who sell and buy things on these markets), basically in exchange for being allowed to list. And increasingly, its getting harder and harder to do business without dealing with one of these tech giants. I think he mentioned how WeChat is another good example of this in China, where they’re involved in like everything

ah yes, Liux

lol same here on F39 KDE. I was wondering “wait was that a setting i changed?” I haven’t used KDE on another distro in a real long time

The first time I read this, i thought “shouldn’t all that be executable anyway?”

And then I read it again and realized, minus x

lol welcome! Enjoy your time on the Linux side

I use Yakuake most of the time. It’s a Quake-style drop down terminal thats always available. I find it to be convenient for the vast majority of the terminal stuff I do.

When I need to edit long files or something, tho, I usually use Kitty, since the quake-style terminals tend to get in the way sometimes lol. It’s not really a unique thing to Kitty or anything, but I like how you can split one window into multiple terminals.

I think thats cool to see SteamOS on more hardware.

🤘LETS GOOOOO🤘

True, but there’s always the option of installing KDE or something else with Wayland support

Idk how well Debian stable would work, but Debian Sid might be a bit easier to work with in terms of games with it being more on the bleeding edge.

There’s also Linux Mint Debian if you want to stay in the Debian universe, but you’d get more of the ease of use of Mint.

Me personally, I’m using Fedora for gaming and I haven’t really had many issues with it. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could try Fedora or Nobara, which is a more gaming focused spinoff of Fedora

crying and shaking rn. Python never lies!

naa i’ll keep doing what I’m doing

been playing around with sway on my laptop and it’s been pretty fun. Tiling window managers are fun!

Blender: If you’re interested in 3D modeling or Animation
Inkscape: If you have any need for a vector graphics program thats a bit like Adobe Illustrator
OBS: If you need to do any screen recording or livestreaming
Haruna Video Player: It plays videos and can also play youtube videos if you paste in a link. (This also pulls in yt-dlp as a dependency, which allows you to download youtube videos and the like from a terminal)
btop: A nice looking system resource monitor that runs in a terminal

for a bit more context, ncdu is a Disk Usage analyzer that runs in the terminal. If you’ve ever used WizTree on windows, its kinda like that. Really useful to see whats taking up space on your disk

Seems to work fine for me on linux over bluetooth. Its a good controller.

im not sure how helpful it’ll be, but theres a program called nvtop that will show you what’s using your GPU and all that. Maybe it’ll show something right as it crashes, or at least give you a hint as to what to look into next?
