both the basque and the catalonians have sought independence and were brutally pushed down by the conservative governments of the very recent past. the current left leaning government has made concessions to keep them on board; but the voting trends for the last 15 years makes it crystal clear that the conservatives will be in power again and both the catalonians and basque are well aware that the the peace will expire in the next election.
most catalonians and basque don’t think so
it depends on what you mean by “corporate space”
end users of any type don’t use linux because of a mixture because that’s what they’re used to using; but end users can’t do shit w/o the service backbones which are dominated by linux and depended upon by end users.
i’m REALLY feeling like this rn; this 4 quarter project is going to extend into at least 5 at the end of this year.
You weren’t hoping that Secure Boot saves your ass, were you?
i wonder if containerized firefox (eg snap/flatpak) will
either that or damn small linux
i started using kde once personal computers became beefy enough to handle it well around 2002 but switched to gnome because gnome felt more polished at the time and i recently switched back and, you’re right, the customize-ability is impressive after using gnome for the last 15-ish years.
it’s also daunting/frustrating at times too.
in the fall of 2002 the windows millennium installation on my computer broke, trapping an entire semester’s worth of work on the hard drive and i was a starving college student with less than $20 to my name, so i couldn’t afford to buy windows xp and didn’t know anyone where i could get a pirate copy from.
i bought a mandrake linux cd pack for $8 from circuit city and used google in the computer laboratory to learn how to mount the hard drive, install drivers for ntfs and copy my all my work to a usb drive and i’ve been using linux ever since. i switch to 100% only linux both professionally and personally sometime around 2010.
as i mentioned earlier: that content gets ignored on the fediverse, not a single upvote
my idle time is the 10/15 mins between tasks and i retain less than 5% of anything i read within 15 minutes of reading it.
i’ve seen others try, but the fediverse lacks reddit’s niche groups so the content seems to get ignored by the general/generic loving fediverse crowd.
i’ve run into people who did this and i wished for deodorant every single time.
Anyone who is not keeping some cash on the side to buy perfectly good assets (like gold) at bargin prices in the next year or so is crazy.
i’m willing to bet most just can’t afford it or are unaware
anedotally: it works fine if it’s from a vendor who provides support for it. eg cumulus switches running fedora 9 but still getting updates from cumulus engineers.
me three
i think that’s why the show gives me so much anxiety; it’s too believable
plus, potential employers have to find a reason to either hire or not hire you; not having a degree is a reason and it means that you have to impress them so much that, that fact doesn’t even occur to them if that’s your situation.
found myself laughing at this reply in the comments:
this sounds like a nightmare to me, so i wonder what i’m missing?
i also didn’t find the article painful; it was refreshing to learn that someone else is walking in these shoes when it feels like so many aren’t.
intellectual pursuits combined with recent-ish DNA test revealed to me that i’m from a very recently dead culture (american yaqui & tarahumara) whose very few aware decedents have been fighting tooth-and-nail to re-cultivate it by patterning themselves after their nearest cousins (mexican yaqui & tarahumara) along with a recent recognition from the american government for the pascua reservation in arizona.
they were literally wiped out by the pogroms carried out by colonial settlers in the american southwestern united states during the 19th and early 20th centuries and it was merely the imaginary line on the map called the mexican border that allowed anything from the culture to survive at all.
if it weren’t for people who rejected colonialist narrative of indigenous people happily becoming mestizos (or americans with Cherokee princess great grandma’s); there would be nothing but a fringe belief and, if it weren’t for DNA tests that heavily bolsters it, that fringe belief would continue to wane into nothingness.
you’d think that 2/3rds of your DNA being tied to a group of people and their genocide occurring less than 2 generations ago would ensure that something of that cultural inheritance would survive, but I’m living & breathing proof that the colonial narrative is MUCH more powerful than any heritage as the older generations of my family continue to strenuously reject both the science and the lore of their true roots.
