Prunebutt, to linux in Fully featured tilling window managers (like DEs) for lazy people

KDE plasma has a tiling feature and there’s the System76 shell for Gnome. They both work, but I’ve always felt like they feel like an afterthought.

But System76 is currently working on their Cosmic Desktop, which promises cool tiling features with a desktop feel to it. Many people are quite excited for i. :)

Can you explain network sockets to me?

Prunebutt, to asklemmy in Why in the year 2024 and with all the knowledge humans have now do people still believe in religion?

If you’re really interested in an answer and not only trying to dunk on religious people: I’d suggest reading a few philosophical critics of religion. Like Feuerbach and Marx.

Religion always fulfilled a certain function to people. Way back, it was used to answer questions which have been properly answered by science (where does the sun/thunder and lightning come from, etc.). But that’s not the whole picture of religion’s function in society.

People still have an urge to answer questions science can’t/won’t answer (what is right and wrong? *why are we here? how should we treat each other?). Religion fulfills the function answering a subset of these questions.

Prunebutt, to linux in Switched from Ubuntu to Debian yesterday

Maybe if you don’t touch the AUR, or at least: if you’re really careful with it. But who could resist this tasty, tasty, unstable forbidden fruit of random software?

In reality, you’re right. But that stuff doesn’t exist in the narrative of the movie. In the movie, he’s a sellout and therefore: evil.

The social status and renown that comes with haute cuisine

In my mind, that was haute cuisine. I never thought of that distinction between social status and all that diminishing returns stuff.

But the restaurant closed. The movie ends with Remy in a bistro.

Also: Linguini did ruin the restaurant. Wasn’t that kind of the point of the whole “Everyone can cook” idea? Haute-cuisine is not that important

I don’t think that Ratatouille had that much of an anti-capitalist angle. Let alone a late-stage capitalism one.

They kind of had to add that bit of him being a sellout who wants to ruin Gusteau’s legacy.

Aren’t you being cynical, that people aren’t capable of a shred of creativity if they use AI to make posts?

I’ve yet to see an AI generated meme that had any creative merit bigger than what I described. Just look at the original post! That’s exactly what I’m talking about.

People think of something that could be funny, if they did the legwork and put some creative effort into it. But then, they simply ask the AI to do the hard part and post it.

You go hungry

About as much creativity on display as feeding the prompt to an AI. Be cynical as much as you want: even shitpost enjoyers get bored if you’re not creative.
