This seems to be an unedited version of that video with sound. I don't speak Korean so I can't validate it against the article, but the bbc has a reputation for being credible so I'm inclined to believe it. https://youtu.be/GcUe4O_53_0

As for the organization, the only mentions I've found are almost all about this, with one mention of it being a think tank in South Korea, which is weirdly little information.

Working a customer facing job with poor pay and little to no benefits sucks. That's why I do it, for those people, not the business.

I live in the suburbs and am within walking distance of 3 places that sell eggs. Which is an anomaly, because yes this is one of many problems with suburban sprawl.

X11 is like a big dilapidated house. It doesn't work very well anymore and is difficult to maintain.

Wayland is new modern house. Smaller and more efficient, but missing some amenities that the old house had that some people still want, like a wood burning stove.

Oh cool! I didn't know about this. Thanks for sharing.

Do we know if this is going to be implemented per device or it's done via geolocation or something? I skimmed the article, didn't seem to say besides "don't get excited if you're outside of Europe" or something to that effect. Basically wondering if this benefit can be gained in the future by importing a phone.

My dislike of Apple is... decades old. But Google sucks too. I need to dig into how Apple treats privacy (someone mentioned that it might not be great on another of these posts) and see how the software ecosystem outside of the Apple store shakes out. I'm hopefully several years out from needing a phone replacement, so I can wait and see how it goes.

I wonder if they ever really have? When I was in school they taught you how to use a computer, but not what the computer was doing or how it worked.

I'm not too connected to the educational sector anymore but anecdotally it seems like becoming tech literate has a growing stigma (it's always had a stigma). Happily ignoring what it's doing while it's actively abusing you.

Well said. It's easy enough to say you are unhappy with pay, benefits, or working conditions. Complain about the plights of capitalism. Or say you just don't want to work, period.

There's a mountain in between here and there. And the path is well defended by the rich and powerful. It's going to take a lot of work to have less work.

I've ended up with NixOS, because I still like getting punished by my software.

Suck it, nix users. You know it to be true.

.... true.

This is my hangup as well.

I agree with the premise of this sub. The way car first places such as the US does things is a problem. The cars themselves and the underlying infrastructure, such as that exchange.

But I also don't want to live in cramped multidweller unit housing. I've done so most of my life and I hated it.

I don't know what or even if there's a good solution that accomodates both, but I hope so.

Around 1998 I'd guess. Some loadlin based setup on my friends Windows machine. Don't recall the name. I remember running Mandrake shortly after that.

I've hopped back and fourth between many distros, and gone back to Windows a few times over those years. But I've been using Linux as my daily driver for about a decade now. Currently using and enjoying NixOS.

Vic20. When I was 8 or so. It was a handmedown from my uncle. I remember writing some very basic basic while poking through the manual and playing cartridge and tape games on it. Good times!

One of the news outlets in my area has online classifieds that are well known and utilized. Maybe there's something like that in your area?

I hear some stories about scams on there, so it's not immune to that, but I don't believe it's a significant problem.

There's an option C:

avoid YouTube or just deal with the ads

Of course I guess it depends on which devices that that's an option.

Running with your holiday meal analogy, it warrants adding that while we can't stop people from coming to the table, we are able to make them leave.

Of course the onus to this would be on the hosts of the meal, or in this case the admins and mods of Beehaw. I'm sure that's a difficult, unpleasant, and often thankless task.

Yubikey and OnlyKey are the only hardware keys that work with keepassxc. So if that's a requirement for you, then those are your only options. This is true for me as well.

They cover this in their docs and faq page: https://keepassxc.org/docs/#faq-yubikey-2fa. OnlyKey is an unknown to me while I've heard of Yubikey for years.

Don't have one I love. Will have to review these comments!

Currently I use the Jellyfin web UI. Usage-wise it's decent, but I don't love using a browser for music.

Previously I was using mopidy + mopidy-Jellyfin + ncmpdcpp but it broke and I never got around to figuring out why. I didn't particularly enjoy ncmpdcpp. Great piece of software, don't get me wrong, just didn't like the TUI music client experience as thought I would.

Checking out GUI based mpd client ecosystem seems like the next logical step.

Doesn't track for this human.

This meal: would try out of curiosity.

X: won't try because garbage.

I see what you're getting at. It's a matter of perspective, I guess.

If you presented someone with a list of features from two similar but different pieces of software, they wouldn't say software b is broken because it's featureset is different from software a, right? But I acknowledge it's not that straightforward. It's more like telling them software b is going to replace software a that you're currently using, get ready to say goodbye to some features.

I still don't consider wayland broken, but I understand argument that it is.

As far as non-Chrome goes, there's only two other modern browser engines. Webkit which is Apple stuff, and Gecko which is Firefox. So I don't believe so, no.
