Sure you can argue that your financial situation is a bit better, but the power dynamics between yourself and owners is still the same regardless if you make a lot or a little and more importantly, salaries change. When your job isn’t considered competitive anymore you’ll be in the same boat or if you get laid off or you get sick, etc.

I mean the difference between them and they employees is that they can sell their restaurant when they want to quit at a good profit while their employees have to leave with only the clothes on their back.

The Swedish union IF Metal is currently striking on Tesla, and the conflict has resulted in many other unions entering their own strikes targeting Tesla in solidarity. One of them, SEKO which handles deliveries have prevented Tesla from acquiring license plates and they have sued the Swedish government for this because Tesla cannot get their license plates now.

For the other strikers they’ve used all manner of underhanded tactics to dodge the strike. Scabs, alternative suppliers for foreign countries, etc.

They’re fighting tooth and nail against unions. It’s disgraceful.

Nationalize your enterprise? Or better yet, convert it to a cooperative and give the profits directly to the employees?

That’s why they hate things like welfare or full employment. They need a desperate army of reserve labor to keep wages low.

I love this guy! He has made so many more insightful videos about similar topics.

Android is the evil version of Linux or the anti-Linux if you will.

Yes I think you’re right, there’s probably a significant overlap in the target audience of GOG and Linux users. I guess the reason why GOG hasn’t released a Linux version of GOG Galaxy might be because a large portion of their catalogue is Windows and doesn’t want to include something like Proton or Wine support. I don’t think it absolves them from criticism however.

I love this comment! Yeah it’s true, I’m the arch linux user you’re describing! So is there a good middle ground according to you? Where we can have faster updates, high application support and high customization without the downsides of arch that you describe?

If you have several kernels you might want to disable the fallback kernels. You do so in the .preset files in /etc/mkinitcpio.d/

But yeah this is the downside of using flatpaks. That’s why I think it’s better to avoid flatpaks and other similar sandbox environments. I know the Linux community are desperate for the increased stability and supposed benefits to security but you’re paying the price in worse performance and high disk usage.

No it would make me feel better if Wayland ran properly.

If you must use ubuntu, you’ll ultimately be tied to the desktop environments that ubuntu offers. Personally I don’t think ubuntu works well, especially outside of their gnome offshoot Unity DE. If you must use ubuntu I would say install kubuntu which has KDE Plasma on it. KDE Plasma is highly customizable, quite pretty and pretty easy to use.

I’ve been trying Wayland for quite some time, but Wayland is a chore to work with and most applications still needs to use the xwayland compatibility solution anyway. After a long time of using it I decided to just switch to X11 and save myself the stress. However after seeing this and reading some comments I decided to try it out yesterday (maybe stuff has changed?) and then turned off my PC and went to bed, then today kwin_wayland started crashing for no reason. For a supposedly superior display server, it sure has a lot of issues and low adoption.

Maybe the Wayland developers should consider it a failed project and work on X11 instead?
