BaardFigur,

While the current state of capitalism is sort of broken (doing all kinds of evil stuff in the name of shareholder profit), doesn’t make all elements of it broken.

I’m pretty happy to be able to own personal stuff for example. Like a house. Or smaller stuff, like a phone. There also needs to be some kind of mechanism actually encouraging people to contribute to society.

BaardFigur,

Norwegian here. Healthcare isn’t entirely free here, but it sure is affordable. I’m not sure if entirely free is a thing to strive for. A minor cost helps upper the bar slightly, so people don’t annoy the doctors office with stupid minor stuff (which is already happening).

Higher education is also not entirely free, just really cheap. But as long as you get a stipend (everbody that finish their study does), the state end up giving you more money than you spend. So yes, free higher education is great, I feel sorry for americans.

Affordable housing: should that be free? I agree it should be affordable though, but how can that be achieved? It’s basically the free market deciding

Mickey’s Mouse Trap

BaardFigur,

This image is fake. The snow always melts just before Christmas

BaardFigur,

22nd today. Christmas is 24th. 2 days

BaardFigur,

It’s only 2*

BaardFigur,

Hobbit was a word way before J.R.R. wrote his books, stupid that they were able to sue them

BaardFigur,

Git Fork has the same attitude. I bought it

BaardFigur,

C++ Cad application, Norway, so not from a poor country. I know I’m underpaid but didn’t expect it to be that bad

BaardFigur,

6 years. I’m by no means an expert, but I’m not newbie either

BaardFigur,

Can I get a job at wherever you’re working? Im earning 60k $ a year

BaardFigur, (edited )

Thepiratebay.org has been blocked for almost 10 years in Norway, now. This doesn’t make a difference, whatsoever

I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."

They could have easily crammed the Steam Deck full of stuff to make it hard to use for piracy - locking down everything, making it usable only to play games you legitimately own, force you to go through who knows what hoops in order to play games on it. That’s what Nintendo or Apple or most other companies do....

BaardFigur,

Piracy solutions can be made good too, though.

BaardFigur,

Don’t allow the apps sending you notifications in the first place

BaardFigur,

Is that Windows XP?

BaardFigur,

Better delete syswow64 while you’re at it

BaardFigur,

Comments also helps explaining why certain non-obvious decisions are made. E.g. a workaround for a bug in a library

BaardFigur, (edited )

Comment smart, don’t comment every line like this

int i = 5; // Assigns the value 5 into the variable i.

BaardFigur,

KDE Plasma is still really unintuitive and weird to use. Maybe they’ll get better eventually, but meanwhile I’m on Gnome

BaardFigur, (edited )

I tried Mint. It wasn’t that great. While I dont use Ubuntu specifically, I love Gnome

BaardFigur,

I tried it. Had a bunch of issues with it, like freezes, forcing me to manually reboot. Then I tried Fedora. It’s been great. Still using Fedora. Don’t like the opt-out (rather than opt-in) telemetry they’re planning to add though, but honestly not enough to make me switch

BaardFigur,

They did say it when I was a kid, although that’s at least 16 years ago now

BaardFigur,

Mac: No

BaardFigur,

I didn’t see HBO Now or Go.

It went HBO -> HBO Nordic -> HBO Max

BaardFigur,

I’m already in the process of decoupling from gmail for this exact reason.

I’ve decoupled the most important things, but there’s just so much stuff that is still using my gmail.
