I personally found it annoying enough to install clipman[0] for my sway setup. Especially with short lived applications like calculators etc. [0] https://github.com/yory8/clipman

This is said so often it's become a platitude, but: Your free labor of creating and curating things people want to look at is the product. It's the companies bidding on access to content you're willing to look at, in hopes of

The problem is that mesa's "Clover" OpenCL driver currently only supports OpenCL 1.1 and does not support OpenCL images and was abandoned for years. This makes it more or less useless. Additionally, these code paths are not v

Wow, this comment is truly incredible, although perhaps not in the way you intended.

The most indisputable proof to me of our nonprofit and charity systems being complete bullshit has always been the fact that IKEA is a nonprofit "to promote better interior design".

This reads like an apple user parody.

I think the fact that you read that message and this was your conclusion is kind of concerning. Either way getting a restraining order or whatever on someone you work with is definitely not going to improve your situation, if you can even p

I totally agree with your concerns about people being kept in their job for unjustified reasons. I think it's something we've all had experience with. At my first job, I had a horrible boss. A friend tried to speak up against him

You should take everything Pavel Durov says with an extreme amount of salt. To say his statements are misleading is often an understatement.

Nautilus does already have such a cache though. But there is little to no code sharing between nautilus and the gtk file picker, which I think is the actual problem here.

Having insufficient means to repel people didn't seem to be an issue this summer.

That's a good point, the ideal strategy might be to do little to stop the events and then later start public high impact investigations and arrests for a few of the involved.

I like your extremely selective responses, just responding to a strawmanned half sentence. Of course, it's only ever authoritarianism when the others do it. Interestingly, the George Floyd protests actually caused an order of magnitude

I'm sorry, where were you when the authoritarian shift from the "war on terror" and "war on drugs", spearheaded by the american right, balooned police budgets and was used to justify massively arming the police and

How homogeneous of a group they are is irrelevant when they are all driven by the same incentives. The first people that benefit from increases in Authoritarianism are the police. The insurrectionists they are supposed to persecute are the

That is, assuming anyone in law enforcement actually cares about identifying these people. Given that they could have simply not let them out and arrested them as was done with black protestors instead of politely showing them the door, tha

Indeed, that is why they protected their identities, covered their faces and were arrested on spurious charges by the ten thousands and key figures mysteriously ended up in burnt up cars half a year later.

I'm confused, is losing your job for disagreement on social issues good or bad now? Or do these concerns about the people and factors that decide who does and doesn't get to work somewhere mysteriously stop and start at unions.

It probably comes the people that would prefer you shut up and stay.

Unlike corporations like Google, who would never fire (sorry, "quit voluntarily") someone for criticizing the stance of the company on social issues.

That depends on a number of things. Theoretically the leverage is infinite, as companies can not get anything done without workers. However in practice, strike funds won't last forever, people won't be willing to strike forever, i

Of course, there is a difference, in that there's a strong financial interest in painting all unions as the loan shark type.

If you look at market data, you can see that this market did not exist a few years ago and is now estimated to be worth billions, with major players releasing products in the space. Unless the dynamics pushing this forward change overnight,

A large reason for the deal with Altera was that Altera already used intel for fabrication. I understand Intel's 10nm and 7nm failure has hurt them a lot in that regard, quite the opposite of the expected synergy. Unlike Xilinx for AMD

I think it's more a reaction to the decreasing importance of CPUs in the datacenter in favor of interconnect technology. FPGAs are one of the directions in which the "smart nic" or "DPU" tech has been moving, which

"Disposable income per capita" is certainly a number, but it's not actually meaningful in this context for a few reasons: 1. "Disposable income per capita" is irrelevant to normal people, as it does not account for
