New to the Linux community here; why is a valve owned Linux OS better than any other massive company OS. Like if Microsoft released their own Linux OS, would it be good suddenly?

At the end of the day, we don’t want our OS’s big company owned right?

This comment here is peak Linux, and a perfect example of that xkcd comic.

99% of people probably couldn’t even tell you what a syntax is. Let alone how it’s relevant to using Linux

I THOUGHT THAT WAS mf doom FOR A SECOND, HAHA

And then they will blame it on Trudeau and they will believe it.

Cons : we want lower taxes.

Libs: ok tax break?

Cons: not like that! 😡

Federal not provincial.

Obviously this is a vote bribe, just looking at the wording of the press release it’s written for Christian conservatives.

Specifically making Christmas trees part of the tax break?

As someone who is voting left already, I’m just happy to get the tax break. But if this is the thing that causes enough cons to not vote PP, I’ll take the budget cuts.

Under the libs at least we might see things like healthcare and affordable housing.

Hey, that’s pretty neat!

Yes this is all happening. We have an election coming up too and it’s looking like it might be what a majority of albertans want.

If you get charged for trespassing at night you didn’t just walk onto private property, it’s probably going along with some of the other charges like voyeurism or sexual assault.

Change my mind, if you fall under any of these charges you shouldn’t get to legally change your name.

Go by a different name, sure whatever. But yeah your driver license gets to say your dead name. You fucked up.

Maybe I’m wrong, maybe trespassing at night is being thrown around left right and center. But I doubt it.

Legitimately, how do you? Without prior knowledge of the direction you are facing and the sun is right above you or you can’t see it.

Cardinal directions have always been hard for me and I’m only now just starting to use them out of job necessity.

Left and right takes a second most of the time, ask me to look north and it’s going to be a long while.

If I’m somewhere new or lost like op, it’s just cruel to say “go west”

Right, so how about $12.50 for $25gb?

Is there actually a sizeable population that needs 100gb? Maybe there is a small use case, but I have yet to meet one of these people.

Does lemmy have useless red circle sub yet?

If the product works too well they can’t sell you other stuff! 🥲

You are getting down voted because you said the dirty private word, but you are entirely right.

Id say the bigger problem might be your employer Heath insurance company can tell you no to opting out.

I’ve never understood how we haven’t been considered employees as gig workers.

The only difference from a typical job is that you can “turn off” your job when it’s convenient.

You dont get say in the jobs you take, or you don’t get all the information to mislead you into taking poor jobs. Sometimes both (looking at you door dash)

Instacart sends you a t4a at the end of the year, and you are for tax purposes considered to have worked for them. But they don’t have to pay into any of our various employee protections because loopholes?

They can terminate your “not employment” at any time for any reason and use this as a method to force you to do things you don’t want to.

All while paying you less than minimum wage. Instacart specifically is very bad for this. They give you a "predicted shop time " which will often be in the realm of 30-40 mins + 10-20 travel time to and from the store. And the batch will be valued at less then $15m

If then acknowledge that the job will take X amount of time, the base pay needs to hit $15/h x est time.

Same goes for all gig jobs.

Simply put, I need to buy groceries.

It’s not that I will have issues learning or researching, it is that I don’t have the time too.

If the barrier to using Linux is needing to spend time troubleshooting and researching to do simple tasks, I just won’t.

So far this thread has been very enlightening to me, I’m excited to try something new. But my OS is not my hobby.

Oh wonderful! Thank you for the suggestions!

It’s what I got to use in highschool computer class, I’m a sucker for what I know.

Unfortunately, I have to side with the city on this one. They have policies, they warned the family so they could have come and got it. I feel they at least could’ve delivered the memorial to the family if they wanted

Do we want more orphans and teen mothers stuck in abusive relationships?

The unfortunate answer to that question is yes, they do. Uneducated people vote blue, abused mothers vote what their abuser votes for out of fear. They need to feed the cycle that the church started and we are just starting to climb out of.

There is a reason that the church is anti-sex-ed, it doesn’t survive without people raised in it.
