Almost all TV series in IMDB top 250 are at least 10 years old, and most culturally relevant series and movies are even older than that. They don’t somehow become worse when watched when the last episode comes out.

Then don’t. I only watch finished series and I seem to be the odd one out, but it seems like such an obvious idea. I will watch a series when all seasons are available.

There is no shortage of finished series anyway. And you get to check reviews of the whole thing before you commit to it.

People assumed X, but in one experiment the result was Y.

And in his many experiments the result was in fact X, if it was just 1 on which it was Y?

I don’t actually disagree with the article, I’m just pointing out the title is meaningless.

Yes it’s misinformation that you have to disable the sshd with a kernel boot parameter, because no sshd is being run in the first place.

Yeah what I need is an alternative to xprop and xwininfo.

I would love for you to dispel the problem I wrote about: how to find the list of open windows (and whether they are focused or not), for time tracking. I don’t believe kdotool can do that, from what I see.

There are still many things that don’t work on Wayland, which work perfectly fine on X11. If you don’t need any of them then Wayland is perfectly fine, but many people do need them.

For example programs can’t read from or interact with windows of other programs, so for example a time tracking application can’t work, or productivity scripts using xdotool don’t have a Wayland way to work.

Both of these use cases are needed to me.

I love it, it’s smaller than both PNG and JPEG while better looking than both.

This is a discussion you can absolutely have. But “missing the point of a union” and being “anti-union” are very different things.

“Anti-union” is Rockstar for firing 31 employees in a union bust, or Amazon for having employees watch mandatory propaganda videos about how unions are evil. Lumping them together with a business owner who basically said “I hope the good relationship I have my employees lasts and nobody starts feeling like they need additional support when talking with me” is at best misleading.

I think your for the sake of the argument example is exactly what Linus had in mind, where he would consider it his failure if it happened and hopes it won’t. But if it does and employees unionise, so be it.

Yeah, I love the new faces, hope Derek doesn’t leave, but if he does, he’s leaving it in good hands.

This is such a silly discussion.

There is one group of people who define the word “piracy” to include “ad blocking”, and another group that define “piracy” so that it doesn’t. Nobody disagrees about the state of reality, both groups just think the other group has an incorrect definition. Which is a pointless discussion.

Both groups can say “Ad blockers are piracy” and “Ad blockers are not piracy”, and they are both correct, for what they mean the word “piracy” to mean. The disagreement is about semantics, not about anything useful.

The “ad block is piracy” crowd can instead say “ad block is a way to access content circumventing parts of the intended business model of the platform, since the platform intended you to view ads”. The “ad block is not piracy” crowd can instead say “ad block is not a way to access content without payment, because the platform didn’t require payment”.

And they are both correct, just misunderstand each other, because they both mean something different when they say “piracy”, which results in one group saying one thing, and the other group understanding it in an unintended way. It’s silly because no one is actually disagreeing with each other about anything, it’s a miscommunication issue.

This is not true. What he said is that he would consider it a personal failure if his employees felt the need to unionise, but he would support them in doing so. There is nothing “anti-union” about that sentiment.

Unless of course he also said something else that I don’t know about, but then I would love a source.

I used the Android app Boost for Reddit. One day I opened it as usual, browsed as usual, but something felt a bit odd. Turns out it was updated into being a Lemmy app instead. Fair enough then, I continued my scrolling.

It was NOT found to be untrue. Full stop. It was found to be unsubstantiated.

You are right, I was imprecise. What I meant is that “it was not found to be true”, not that “it was found to be not true”.

Yeah, he was stupid to have that idea. But nobody was actually wronged in the end.

I think it looks good for the integrity of Linus that he took the blame and never revealed the identity of the logistics employee that made the mistake of misassigning the prototype for the auction. He could’ve easily thrown them under the bus and fired them instead, because their mistake did real reputational damage to the company.

Sexual harassment

It was found to be an untrue allegation by a third party. You can of course choose to not believe them, but there was never any proof and everyone who works there denies it (and a lot of women work there), so take of that what you will.

poor work life balance

Very true

anti union

Linus is not anti-union. He said he would consider it a personal failure if his employees felt the need to unionize, but he supports their right to do so.

The warranty for his (I think it was a) backpack, was trust me bro.

To be fair, the warranty was proposed to be “trust me bro”, the community very much didn’t like that, so it actually came with a real warranty when it launched. So it never actually happened.

Yeah, which is what I said. It’s great, but an alternative solution is an alternative solution. If someone is sharing a file to a group with Airdrop, you are not receiving it with localsend.
