This is not good news, rather a temporary lack of bad news. This shit has been tries like 10 times already, and I bet it will be tried again and again until it passes in some form.

hey, this is not a fair comparison, some graffiti looks nice and has artistic value

I think if you have some use-case that Wayland doesn't fulfill, it's totally fine to just pin some version of Plasma and stick with it. Maybe even switch to Trinity. Chances are it will keep working for like a decade or more.

I still use kdenlive 18.08, because I know how to use that version, and it does what I need it to do perfectly well. They broke something I needed in 19.whatever (I don't remember what it was anymore), so I just pinned it and kept using it ever since. Maybe one day I'll try to figure out the latest version, but there's no real incentive for me to do so.

Laundry (with a washing machine) is significantly easier than cooking (healthy/tasty food) tho. It takes me like 2 minutes combined to load up the machine, start up the cycle, and hang it out to dry; and an hour or so to cook a good meal for two.

The savings will go towards accessible public transit, right? RIGHT?

For me it's not "is it even a big enough deal", the problem is that I can't find the time to do shit nowadays.

Nah, social division of labour is almost as old as civilization itself. It's not possible to do everything by yourself, if you're lucky enough not to die of hunger in a few weeks, you'll die of a preventable disease within a few years.

Capitalist exploitation of it (combined with faux individualism) is the issue.

Translating to this scenario, there would be no issue if we had community kitchens with cheap/free food and well-paid workers. The issue is the capitalists extracting surplus value from a basic necessity, partly by convincing everyone to hate their neighbours and eat alone.

This is an actually useful feature though. I used to have this same setup with dovecot&nextcloud (show invites in the calendar automatically).

Actually, fuck yeah. My parents also have one of those bad boys:

I don't expect altruism. Stability and economic prosperity in the region is directly beneficial and profitable to China.

Please put an NSFW tag on that image, it can get you in trouble if you accidentally show it in public in many countries, for good reason.

 

This is my daily driver at the moment - X201s modded with a 51nb motherboard with i7-10710u (a.k.a X2100). A lot of geo nerd cred to whomever can guess the location by the mountains :)

I liked posting a picture here so I think I will try to do it weekly :)

This is what the dawn of January 1st 2025 looked like for me. We've slept in my van through the night to get this view. The temperature was about -20℃ but it was worth it in the end.

The flats in the picture is the frozen Lake Paravani and the mountains are the Samsari ridge.

Since today is my first cake day, I've decided it's time to post instead of commenting. This is a picture I took last month on my phone through binoculars. Taken from Gomismta, the mountains you see are the Main Caucasian Ridge.
