Is Systemd that bad afterall?
  • I make plymouth do the verbose mode because it's cool and hacker-y. Also I like when it says "failed" and I know what failed. For a few weeks I kept having to manually start firewalld and I never would have known otherwise, update seems to have fixed that though.

    Tbf, I really only have experience with fedora and thus systemd, so, I like it but I "don't know what I'm missing" in a sense.

  • Visiting the US soon - do I really have to tip?
  • "These are not said by the employees, because of the power dynamic where if they say anything I could and would get them fired out of pure pettyness, so they just silently hope I die in a car crash on the way home."

    Ftfy.

    With all that said, until things change, for sake of the underpaid employees, please tip just know you don't have too. If they treat you kindly and respectfully, tip, if not, smallest tip possible.

    A'ight, that's cool at least as long as you tip in the current system but push for change, no prob there. But make no mistake the only reason the employee doesn't say anything is the power dynamic, they're thinkin' it!

  • He's suggesting "fuck the worker, it isn't my problem if they can't pay rent, they should learn to code." And somehow that will make the business owner pay them a fair wage and not replace them with a machine or a 16yo kid.

  • Could this become a "Caring is Sharing" sub, just like the old days
  • Yeah that is annoying as hell. Like I get it if it's just like "my files are private, I'll open them if you have shares" but that whole "I need X album FLAC and a $50 baskin robbins gift card and then I might share with you" shit is the lamest thing I've ever seen.

  • lemmy.ml/c/piracy and lemmy.world/c/piracy do not show the same content. This a problem.
  • ...all communities named "piracy" are not the same, the full community name technically includes the instance, they are each their own "subreddit." You could subscribe to all of them if you wish, or to just "the largest one," but you can think of them as say "lemmyworldpiracy" and "beehawpiracy" and so on, they are just different communities.

    It'd be like if two separate 15yo kids ran a fan page for their favorite anime character and expecting them to be identical simply because they are both about Goku, they're just different "sites" by different people, they just aren't the same thing simply because they're about the same topic.

  • As long as you know your supposed "goal" of "helping" isn't accomplished and that server now hates you, and the owner you're opposing got his share and doesn't even know you exist, do what you wish I suppose.

  • And that'll only hurt the poor employee's efforts to pay rent this month. The employer could care less, and sure you may make them mad enough that you're the last straw and they quit, but I'd be hard pressed to think you're magnanimous for it.

  • what if?
  • You want sewage? You sign up for sewage. Everybody who does, has a week assigned where they must do the necessary maintainance for that utility.

    So I'm supposed to learn everything about sewer maintinence before this week, or are we throwing untrained people at critical infrastructure simply because they want to use it? And what then if I also want food, transportation, a computer, cat food, smokeables, drinkables, shelter, etc? Do I have to become an expert in all of those things too and work in those to get food, shelter, etc? Have to churn butter for a week if I want access to the butter store, and make bread for a week to get access to the bread lines, then I can make toast?

    Personally I'd prefer if there was some way to make what I make or do what I do, exchange those items or services for some thing with an agreed upon value, which I can in turn take to the store and trade for bread and butter.

  • The Hardest of All
  • I think I will soon, thanks for the pep talk lol, I legit did need it! I think that even if the process is a little tough, it's possible that the product brings me Slack. Hell maybe I'll like the process too, who knows, learning can bring Slack sometimes too!

  • The Hardest of All
  • I actually am interested partly because of their history, the creator is of the same religion as I am and his creation was announced in like '94 on the old Hour Of Slack radio show affiliated with said religion. In fact, Slackware is a direct nod to our concept of Slack, and there's even pics of our guru J. R. "Bob" Dobbs on the slackware site in the banners section. I know it isn't dead because 15 came out earlier this year (or was it late last year?) so they must be active and not dead, just hard to find lol.

    Thanks for the advice, I'll maybe try it on an old asus I use mainly for booting tails on soon. That's the only device I have with windows for emergencies and nothing I have is powerful enough to run VMs I don't think, but tbh that windows install barely works and I haven't needed it in two years, so "fuck it," right?

  • The Hardest of All
  • How hard is it? I really want to try Slackware one day but I'm not the most adept at linux yet. Really only have experience with Fedora, Tails, Puppy, and antix so far.

    Hard to find people to ask about it, as you said because of the smaller userbase. I did look yesterday though and there are some youtube videos on slackware 15 set up, so I may be ok with those. Still kinda nervous lol.

    Fedora suddenly won't connect

    Hey I'm hoping someone here can lead me to help.

    I updated fedora yesterday and all was working, shut down, still working on boot today, but I had to reboot for an unrelated issue (touchpad multi-touch wasn't working, it happens, reboots fix it) and now I can't connect to the internet.

    Except I am connected to my router just fine, and my wifi works on my other devices, but my laptop refuses to connect to anything outside despite assuring me it is connected. Still can't connect to my VPN, tor, websites (browser or ping), torrents, or slsk. Whether or not my vpn is disabled, no matter, no "working" connection, despite insisting it is connected.

    Any help is much appreciated.

    Why does it keep saying "Pasted from clipboard?"

    Whenever I open lemmur since android 12 it notifies me that lemmur pasted from my clipboard without my express permission. That is sketchy. Idk how I feel about using this with that in mind.
