  • It takes a lot more to get through the propaganda:

    “Why should we punish billionaires for working hard and being successful? They’ll use that money to invest in our community so really we should be giving them more”

    “Unions bad! Here’s an anecdote about a union being not effective one time”

    “If we double the minimum wage then they’ll have to start charging double for everything! A burger flipper shouldn’t be making as much as an EMT! The Free Market™ will pay workers what’s fair”









  • My PC is the same build and I run Kinoite (also KDE). The only major issue I ran into was figuring out how to get a Windows VM up and running for work stuff, but I eventually got it and now that’s working smoothly, too.

    The majority of what most people run is available as a Flatpak container, but there’s also rpm-ostree if you want to install packages, which functions similarly to dnf. And you still have rpm if you want to install something manually.

    As far as AMD driver support goes, everything’s been working great. Can’t say how it compares to base Fedora, though, but it’s probably similar.


  • I wanted to make a snarky comment about smartphones, but the writer pretty much nailed it

    Today it’s Raspberry Pi and Flipper Zero. Tomorrow it’s BeagleBone Blacks, Arduino Qs, ESP32 dev boards, Teensy boards, Pine64s, Orange Pis, Jetson Nanos, USB logic analyzers, SDR dongles, Bus Pirates, Defcon badges, hotel keycards, garage door openers, Tamagotchis, graphing calculators, old Nokias, Game Boys with link cables, a TI-83 held sideways, a Pocket Operator making beeps too abrasively, a Furby with unresolved father issues, and some guy’s wristwatch that definitely has a microcontroller in it. Meanwhile, everyone walks through holding a smartphone that can film, scan, transmit, triangulate, and livestream the entire event in 4K.
