That explains recent Kerala election.

They outsourced it to private industry; like all neoliberals do. Lol

Well Kerala cycles every 5 years. They’ll win the next election, once the regret of electing this government would set in.

that’s what americans said about trump and here we are halfway through his second term.

beta… as in you beta watch your mouth. lol

… i’m running everything as rootless so there’s that.

good practice becomes automatic when you make the habits.

i should know, i’m a prime example for bad habits. lol

nice song btw.

thanks, but don’t be sorry; it was part of the kick in the ass that i needed to start waking me up from my liberal way of thinking.

the sooner the better; i suspect that i’ve lost most, if not all of the developer jobs i’ve ever had because of this mindset.

you should care because you have more in common with the working people of india than you do w the people in those movies and not caring gives more power to the people producing those bread and circuses.

i know that no one can directly change how people think when it comes to trying to impress the boss. but i figured that if anyone could change that mindset, it would be the chinese.

that said, i had never thought of this as a material phenomenon before, and now that explanation makes sense to me. after all, the whole logic behind this kind of self-exploiting peer pressure clearly benefits only the bosses.

i know know of opensuse and redhat/centos’s rolling release; do you know of others?

i suspect that i’m looking for something that doesn’t exist; the iteration has be less frequent than fedora, but more frequent that debian.

someone else recommended a rolling release so i think i’ll give that a shot.

i wonder if spite is the reason why the grapheneos people do their thing. lol

996 is illegal and largely found in big tech companies in Beijing and Shanghai. The average work week in China is 46 hours.

that fact that china is unable to stamp out this cultural phenomenon of overworking yourself for some theoretical benefit makes me wonder if it’ll ever go away.

this is just an excuse; republicans have no such issues when they have a narrow majority themselves.

outside of this construct from the person you’re responding to; programmers are the probably the most modern adaptation of labor aristocracy.

this means that, yes, they’re working class and are just and interdependent like everyone else is in the working class; but they don’t align themselves with the working class and instead chose to align themselves with the ruling class.

i think that’s why the person you’re responding to classifies them a “first estate” because the french revolution had these estates and this person is trying to draw a parallel to that revolution.

… Their backup tool is so good that as my old laptop started to die I was easily able to transfer my entire setup to a totally different computer and pick up exactly where I’d left off

you must have read my mind because this is exactly why i’m on the market for a new distro. lol

i put fedora on my laptop w the intention that it’ll be temporary so that i’ll have something i can trust right now and knowing full well that fedora iterates quickly. their migration tool has never worked for me and now i have to update again. i’m looking for something that has a longer term iteration like debian has, but shorter than debian.

what do you like about it?

i ask because i need to switch distros and i’m looking for ideas besides the usual recommendations.

i suspect that spanish has japanese beat in this regard because of its relatively larger geographical dissemination makes formality based grammar rules incompatible with each other – effectively making all incompatible versions technically correct despite literally contradicting each other.

it’s one of the reasons why a majority of non-spanish speakers are taught european spanish rather than any of the SIGNIFICANTLY larger versions of spanish that exist.

the old aesthetics here never fails to put a smile on my face.

for a moment it makes me feel like it’s the 90’s and i’m reading nonsensical trek fan fiction again.

nvidia support has definately gotten better and the first part of my comment was snark; it’s ignorable… like most of what i say. lol
