Ok, leave?

If I were using Manjaro right now, at the first opportunity, I would be switching to something else. Too much enshitification happening everywhere, and people need to start voting with their “wallets” to stop these greedy fucks.

Are you trying to gatekeep Linux to only power users that use a CLI, are way above the average in computer literacy, and happen to know the nuances between Linux and other operating systems?

This is the kind of thinking that will prevent adoption to the masses. Linux doesn’t have to be stupid hard to use. There are specific distros like vanilla Arch for advanced users to tinker with and options like Manjaro and Ubuntu that are ideally functional out of the box for those that just want something to work.

What Manjaro is doing here is dumb AF, and should rightfully be heavily criticized, but you statement feels like your saying you should have to be a computer expert to use any Linux distro, and that’s dumb.

You misunderstand. I’m not using any centralized social media. Lemmy is my one and only. I’m saying It’s worth celebrating the small wins and encouraging companies to continue moving to models like this. Don’t let perfection be the enemy of good.

Switching to vaping is less bad, and for me, it lead to me quitting all together. So to me, this is still a small win, and I like to celebrate small wins these days.

No, the content of the article has no merit because of the source. Nothing is verifiable and the source has strong Russian ties. Russia, who is known for spreading false information, called “propaganda”. I would suggest looking that word up, because you don’t seem to know what it is or how it works.

Was the Segway guy as shitty as musk?

So not voting for Harris or Trump will solve it? I don’t think it’s my liberal mind living in reality that’s lost. I know you’ve seen it many times, but one of those two will be president. Voting for someone else helps ensure Trump wins, which is the worse outcome. If you can’t wrap your head around that, then you’ve shown the validity of the rest of your opinions.

How are you going to fix it in 3 weeks, oh one with all of the answers?

Me too. I think they should skip the criminal prosecution and just do executions. Good riddance.

Same. I have had a couple of hiccups but nothing more than I did gaming on Windows. Overall my transition to Linux, especially for gaming, has gone exceptionally smooth.

Doing something that will almost assuredly kill you is a suicide attempt.

Starting ones self on fire is a suicide attempt, regardless of political motive. This isn’t the same as sky diving or even trying to see the Titanic in a carbon fiber pod, this is pure and simple, self immolation to death that failed, so far.

They were suicidal, and now they’re trapped.

SLAMMED em good!

This is a tough area for me. I think someone should be able to make a living researching and creating drugs. If that’s all a company does they have to make money somehow. Admittedly, I have not put much thought past that, so there may be a simple solution. Research grants and other funding can pay salaries for a time, but that’s a static income. Idk, I’m interested in how this would work without some amount of markup.

Unless profits means everything past salaries and stuff, then I do mostly agree. However I think there has to be allowance for cash on hand and further investment in infrastructure and all those other fun things needed to run and grow a business.

This is the reason I hate when people use the “recoup” argument. If anyone takes any free money to do research, then that isn’t an expense to that company. If I start my own thing, and use my own money to cure cancer, then I get to set the price to recoup my own losses. If the citizens paid for it through taxes or donations, then it should be cost + % profit. 30% is very fair.

I’m alright with someone being paid that much, so long as they are taxed incrementally and heavily.
