I'm a 10am-4pm, 4 days a week kind of person myself, however.

It's the same bullshit pushed by anyone exploiting labor for their own gain.

Ultimately, you can't blame predatory psychopaths for being predatory psychopaths. You can only blame those who let them get away with it.

And that's all of us :)

(Oh and when I say let them get away with it, I mean: celebrate them, make them into statues, teach all of our children that only money and power matters and do whatever it takes to become just like them, in exchange for all humanity and dignity we could have had instead)

Same boat club.

Honestly I've reached the point that I hope climate change, that's presently accelerating, fucks our species shit up to the core and forces our species to start again, because existing like this, subsisting for a tiny group of proud monsters that see us as livestock in perpetuity, sounds like most people will be born into damnation going forward, and as much pain as civilization level collapse would be, it pales in comparison to this system persisting and finding new cruelties to profit from for generations.

Human civilization in its current form seems to exist to find new efficiencies with which to torture most of humanity. Maybe we'd be better off knocked back to depending on one another in smaller groups. Maybe we'd find empathy again. Maybe our planet could start to recover from our damage

Yeah, you're not alone. I've basically become an anti-natalist. I don't think the ruling / owning class will budge unless their lives are affected. And that won't happen until there's no more slaves to support their insane lifestyles.

Summed up concisely. I've unfortunately given up hope that anything can be done or can improve. It feels the fight, whatever fight there ever was, has been lost.

This is a very strange post. Grammatically the sentences hardly make any sense and there's no explanation what the link leads to...

Are you on Firefox? I use an extension called PagezoomWE or something like that. It remembers the zoom level for you.

I don't know why you're being downvoted. Safety is my number 1 concern. The amount of times I've had to avoid dodgy / unsafe situations on public transport is crazy. Finally getting a car was the best decision ever. Until they make public transport safe, I'm not on it.

That seems like good news. Interesting to see US drug policy being more lenient than the UK in many instances.

Thanks for the additional info. I thought Nvidia and Wayland were basically incompatible. This sounds like there's been nearly enough progress to make this a daily runner! I'm hoping to be able to switch someday, but won't for the time being.

You can't really use Wayland with Nvidia. Whether it'll ever be possible will be up to Nvidia...if they release open source drivers, then it will. Otherwise, no chance. I have a 3080 and use Manjaro XFCE. Gaming is nearly flawless. But it's not Wayland.

Couldn't judge sunshine etc. as I don't stream.

Generally, I'd say you'll do much better with AMD on Linux, if you don't rely on Nvidia specific features.

I have to sometimes dual boot into windows 11 and it's pretty meh. Will directstorage be exclusive to win11? Then that might be a reason to keep it around.

Excellent point. I completely agree and should have perhaps put more emphasis on the fact that these practices are of course egregious and the onus should not just be on the user. There should be more public awareness of these privacy nightmares, however. Somehow people need to learn to start caring about this stuff, because if nobody uses Facebook, Facebook doesn't have the power to act the way it does.

Has that ever been independently verified? I remember the WhatsApp founders quit over FB policy to use messages for advertising, but perhaps they've changed course on that. You're right, the metadata alone would be insanely valuable.
