   If there's a real need for a high powered computer, most people will just connect to a server or whatnot to do the calculation there.

   Hard to get documentaries, live bootlegs from the users' favorite bands, ... The "long tail" has moved to the high seas. At least, in my case.

   I believe it was also caused by the silo-ing of the internet and that a lot of the « public space » is now behind a login.

   We share a similar dislike for media news companies.. and Google. Like i said, i find the media companies boring and they abdicated a while ago being the "fourth" power. I might also not understand all the consequences of the bil

   I already go directly to the websites. Have always done that. I subscribe for a specialized publication that offers free articles because i find the publication useful. I might be dumb but i can't understand how content matters less th

   Traffic is generated by the content which is not free (most of the time) to produce. Google without content is what except an empty library? I'm not sure why people here are defending GOOG so much.

    Disclaimer: Am Canadian. The way i see it, it's a clear case of "we tried nothing and we're out of ideas" on BOTH sides. The canadian medias are boring and are mostly opinions and a few Reuters/AFP articles. On the

    This is what i experienced as well. 3h on light battery use. After having read every how-tos and used tlp, auto-cpufreq, powertop, ... I hate to say it, but, for me, it is the price to pay to not have to deal with Windows anymore. I'm

    I'm in that group. I like the "openness" of Android more. But the iphone 7 gifted from my mother is still supported while the samsung i bought in 2019 is not anymore. I don't really care particularly about the icloud&#x2

    Your position implies a lot of specific knowledge about technologies and how they work. It hardly fits with the definition of "common".

    I’m note sure what your definition of common is but i can say that this way of storing passwords isn’t.

    As a french speaking Quebecer, we use "podcast" or "Balado" (short for baladodiffusion https://vitrinelinguistique.oqlf.gouv.qc.ca/fiche-gdt/fiche/... ). Please do not think that French is only

    If they (employers) can change the terms of contract, why shouldn’t the worker as well?

    I've edited my comment. I do believe what i wrote, tho. It was not meant as a personal attack.

    You're basically saying that workers should be cogs devoid of reflexion and agency.
21. 81.▲
    by monsieurgaufre 3y ago

    On the contrary, as workers' rights are being attacked constantly by employers, workers should fight back.

    accepting offers too quickly OR being homeless: It's the choice for a lot of candidates. Having a choice of opportunities is not common for most.

    It’s what i’m seeing as well. In my circle, IG is used to share memes and very rarely personal news (except for the oversharers).

    He may be exagerating, but it is also my experience. The only "posts" i see are from entities that have something to sell. The "regular" users just do stories now (probably because of the disappearing nature of them). 2

    Not to derail the thread, but i'm interested in your disagreement. It seemed really restricted for the few moments i played with it.

    What are you constantly fighting with snaps about? What snaps are you using that are so broken that you have to fight with it? I mean that seriously. I've never had this experience and I've used Ubuntu for ~15 years.

    I see all of this complaining about snaps and the "direction" Canonical takes as a purity constest. Yes, Snaps can be annoying (it isn't in my case). Yes, Canonical is far from perfect. The Snap hate is really overblown. I&#x

    Ah, I misunderstood your point. You're right that this is a possible avenue. I just hope you're wrong. Or we may have some kind of butlerian jihad on the table in the future.
