Phone right front. Wallet right back.
Keys left front. You can’t keep a phone and keys in the same pocket. Especially not with the size of modern phones.
Consistency means I always know if I’ve forgotten my phone keys/wallet. There’s never searching or wondering where they’ve gone.
Yep,
I’ve got a part of the house which needs new render and new capping on a pallisade wall. Cannot for the life of me find anyone that wants to do it. Whole house render, no problem. Turn up and just render every wall in site, no problem.
I had a long discussion with a builder who suggested I remove any lead flashing from the pallisade wall so he could render that. After going and investigating what I could, the lead is what’s keeping water out of the house. No, no thankyou do I want to remove that.
As it goes, I might just have to learn how to render myself as it might be easier than learning how to find a reasonable handyman.
At this point … what stops the CVE foundation moving on as a foundation and working to find an alternative funding model?
I guess I don’t see the need to os switch on the steam deck. Unless playing and switching is what you want to do.
If what you want is gnome, there are easier ways than a whole new OS.
Steam Deck with the ability to run Fedora workstation (I love Gnome)
Don’t be too focussed on needing to run Fedora for access to Gnome. The OS on the deck (Arch in this case) has the ability to run Gnome. It’ll just be getting it working “right” that’ll be a pain. I would have thought some people are already on it (even if just for a laugh). A cursory web search says it does work with some odd input issues.
That is the beauty of (and often the complexity of) the Linux ecosphere. You can change one thing, Fedora to Arch, and the other things “should” still work.
minus anything obvious
Honestly, not even that.
I’ve been on a hiring panel (for want of a better term) where we interviewed on the ground floor. We all worked up in the building. Post-interview we wouldn’t say anything, we’d just write “yes” or “no” on a piece of paper. In the elevator going back up we’d turn our cards around. It gave a simple litmus test, if we all agreed then we can go to the pub. If we disagree then we find a meeting room and discuss.
To my point. One hire, technically brilliant. They were technically, absolutely the best candidate we’d had for that role. It was clear. We got into the elevator, and all turned around “no”. The candidate was an absolute arse of a person. Clearly the best person for the job. Clearly the last person I wanted to spend 8 hours a day sitting next to. They knew they were fucking good, and they spoke like it.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that person, knowing they were good, still goes home and rants about DEI hires or similar. But entirely misses the point on why they were not hired for that role.
“almost”
If only DEI was that literal. Instead, it allowed companies to discriminate based on race, but to those with left-leaning beliefs, that’s okay as long as it only negatively affects white people, because they deserve it!
That’s a lot of talking with very little to back it up.
I’d like some actual instances of companies that have specifically not hired a qualified candidate because they were white.
And “those with left-leaning beliefs”. That’s me, hand in the air and proud of it. “as it only negatively affects white people, because they deserve it” You’re chatting shit mate. That’s not what I or any of my “left leaning” friends believe.
Because they already believe that you are better because you are white. So two people with equal qualifications, the white is more qualified in their eyes.
When America gets sick, the whole world coughs.
Sadly we’re all in the inside of this one
Emotionally pressuring you to step back from education.
There are plenty of people outside looking in, that would call this abuse.
I live in the valleys of south Wales. Walk through old coal mining areas and you’ll occasionally find lumps of it on the ground.
Lots of people are talking about this in terms of money… And we do live in a strongly capitalist society.
UBI or similar could be useful.
But… Money was created to find a way to compare one workers “value” to real world goods. When the worker doesn’t need goods (no AI needs 4 chickens and a bushel of grain a week) the workers value doesn’t need to be compared. There is less foundational value in money.
We could move away from net worth measured in hoarding money, and start taking about attending currencies such as social worth. Someones worth could be earned in being useful/helpful to society and we as a society could choose to give more resource to that person. Just an example, but a line of thought to go down
A totally separate area for discussion. I believe (most) people have a general need for purpose. Without “work” as we know it, lots of people could find themselves devoid of purpose. I have a feeling some of the ills of today’s world are because people are not finding social purpose in the work we do. Who really deeply cares about being the middle manager of a packaging company? I believe some of today’s mental health plagues are linked to this.
Remove even more “work” and do people find purpose in other things? Does that help or hinder?
Lots of people think with UBI we’ll all turn to art and culture. But frankly there’s only so much art each one of us can look at in a lifetime. What happens when too many people are sitting making boobs in clay? Do sculptures loose their artistic and cultural value? Is art and culture alone, enough to provide the whole of society with purpose?
Which is the greater of two evils? People being required to slog through monotonous work, or people having nothing to do at all?

Normally I’d roll my eyes and move on…
But in this instance I’m going to call service provider protection. It’s not the bus companies fault if you take the bus into town to rob the bank. It shouldn’t be on my ISP to check if I torrent or not. And it’s not on Microsoft what people do with the Azure platform.
They’ve provided a service, which people have used to do bad. That doesn’t mean the service is bad.
… though it is the fediverse and this is Microsoft … so shit away on it
