    It is terrible indeed, but I’d rather say that is because linux development is not focused enough on the desktop. KDE does a decent job out of the box, but still cracks in too many corners (still, after so many years…). GNOME looks cool but has terrible usability. People praise it for its design, but none of those people are designers or have any idea about design beyond color combinations. I know, your obscure other window manager is great and I will try it out soon.

    I’m a bit optimistic that things will get better eventually. We have a decent service manager now and half-standardized packaging solutions. It also seems like the biggest pain with X vs. Wayland is over. Things kind of work, but it’s far from a good desktop experience.

    Terrible still, but dude I’m happy I’m over here and not in one of the other camps right now.


  • What exactly does this “investing” mean here? Do they essentially donate money to Trump? Do they buy American factories/companies? Do they build new factories? Do they just announce and investment and then nothing happens for a long time?

    In other words, who makes the profit here? Did they rip off the Trump without him noticing or did they get ripped off and can’t do anything about it? Is “investing” another way of saying “ASiAnS BuY MuRIcaN ComPnAIEs!!!1!” that is more popular with the maga crowd?

    All the reports I’ve seen about this just regurgitate the government speech and give no useful details what’s really going on here.

    We should be grateful for every vegan trying to save animals/planet/… and generally leading their life in a way that does not fuck up everything for everyone else.

    For every “annoying vegan” there are 100 annoying non-vegans complaining about them on the internet

    Switching from two-party systems to multi-party systems is not going to solve your problems. Likewise, switching from multi-party to two-party won’t either. If you took the time to watch the lecture you would understand that.

    There seems to be this naive believe here on lemmy that the two-party system in places like the UK or US is what causes all the trouble and lack of representation. Having lived in multi-party and basically one-party systems I can tell you that this does not make politics more representative.

    As long as the general public ™ has no believable leverage that politicians need to take into account while billionaires buy all the media, give politicians exit options and do all sorts of other things, there will never be money for schools or hospitals and always an urgent need to reduce regulations/taxes for companies. No matter if you have 1, 2, or 5 parties.

    Easier said than done though. If the results are non-significant, that can be due to all sorts of things only one of them being a lack of an actual effect. If your measure is bad/noisy/not well calibrated, your research plan has flaws etc., the sample is too small, … Most non-significant results are due to bad research and it’s hard to identify the other ones. Preregistration and registered reports are some ideas to change that

    Multi-party systems have their own issues. For example, whatever a party says they will do if you vote for them is worth nothing after the election. They have to find coalition partners and everything is up for negotiation.


  • Satire becomes the new way to roll a business. We’ve reached a point where this kind of post with its obviously satirical framing could as well come from an actual founder dude who just craves for maximum attention with nothing to show for it and just trying to go from there. At this point it doesn’t matter anymore if it’s satirical or not as long as it gets the clicks. Clicks turn into dollars at some point.

    Not to blame lil’ Ky-Nam here, although looking at the short summary (3x Majors CS, Econ) this sounds like either the entire profile is satire or he is unseriously serious about this kind of hype business approach to just get attention and then go from there. But maybe it’s just a dude.

    What a time, we can’t even discriminate the authentic crap from toxic crap anymore.
