Boeing's 'final' 30% pay hike offer isn't good enough, union says
  • Until we get all human basics guaranteed to everyone (housing, food, healthcare, water, internet, sewage, trash, electricity, heating and cooling depending on location, etc.) along with a UBI and all large corporations being converted into worker-owned coops, then people will continue to have the "freedom" to live in poverty and/or be subjugated to subpar working conditions.

    Or in other words, make it so having a job is optional if those people don't mind living with the bare minimum essentials, and for those who do choose to work for extra, their jobs will have fair working conditions and fair compensation, as the company will be run democraticly. Imagine being able to elect and fire your managers.

    And it's not like the US can't pay for it. Even ignoring Modern Monetary Theory (which absolutely applies), we could easilly stop giving tax breaks to the rich, close tax loopholes that the wealthy take advantage of, cut the extremely overinflated military budget, nationalize Big Pharma and hospitals as part of a push towards national healthcare (which would eliminate price gouging for pharmaceuticals and hospital visits for the government's single payer insurance), and stop giving bailouts to Wall St. and corporations every time they fuck up. This would give the US enough money to pay for any damn social services it wants to.

    Also ban all private money from politics, change the voting system to something that is more representative, eliminate gerrymandering and the electoral college, etc.

  • What comes to mind?
  • DuckStation recently changed to a source-available license that prohibits distributing modified versions of the software and prohibits commercial use. Before, it was GPLv3.

    Also OpenOffice, Emby, Audacity, Android (AOSP) (soft forked to LineageOS and GrapheneOS, but no hard fork)

  • The Steam Deck Is The Only Console Worth Buying
  • OLEDs don't burn in, they burn out, which is much worse, since you can't prevent it from happening by shifting static content around on the screen.

    All OLEDs will eventually fail or look so bad that they become unusable.

  • Threads federation?

    What is SDF's opinion on pre-emptive deferation with Threads?

    I know SDF Chatter hasn't defedded with any instance, but there is a serious risk of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish if we federate with Threads.

    Looking for a PS196 based DP to HDMI 2.1 converter

    Looking for a DP to HDMI 2.1 that supports 4k120 with Freesync and the various HDR standards. Saw the PS196 was announced some while back, but can't find any converters that implement it.

    Anyone know where I can find a converter, or even just the chip itself so I can build my own?

    Looking for games that will make me cry

    Basically what the title says. I've only played two games like this so far (Silent Hill 2 and OMORI) and am looking for more.

    Could be games, ROM hacks, mods of existing games, etc.

    EDIT: So many great suggestions! Getting a bit overwhelmed by how many there are, so I'm going to need to find a way to put this in some kind of list with an order to play the games in. By all means, keep 'em coming, though!

    Looking for an XT to USB and BT converter

    I have an OG Model F (pre IBM XT, but the same standard) and used to have a Pro Micro-based Soarer's converter before it died on me.

    I'm looking for a replacement that can be both wired (either USB, PS/2, or AT) and wireless (either Bluetooth or via dongle). Soarer-style macros would be a nice-to-have, especially for the missing F11, F12, and Meta keys.

    Does anything like that exist?

    Looking to Frankenstein a Saturn mk2 DPad into a modern controller

    Was wondering if anyone had experience with Frankensteining together different parts from different controllers, and how I could go about it cleanly.

    I'm looking to have some kind of modern controller (preferably a DualSense), but with an actually good DPad, specifically the Sega Saturn Mk2 controller. Wondering if I should bother with trying to modify the shell, or if I should just custom design a new shell to fit the DPad. I feel like 3D printing would result in much lower quality compared to injection molded plastic, so not 100% sure about that idea.

    Search engine without SEO garbage?

    Been looking for a search engine that isn't plauged with SEO garbage every time I look for anything. Been using DDG for quite a long time now, and I'm starting to get dissatisfied with results. It seems like more and more results are just companies trying to make their way to the top of the search results instead of anything organic. It's even worse when I look for any kind of service or product.

    Looking for as close to 100% organic results as possible.

    Best Debrid service?

    I've been using Real Debrid for about a year now, but there're a couple of things making me want to switch.

    I like to share my account with a couple of friends. Real Debrid gave me a warning about banning my account if I use it concurrently with someone else.

    Real Debrid no longer accepts emails from AnonAddy or Tutanota. I would much rather not have to give out any real contact info.

    Looking for a comparable service that caches torrents from anyome who downloads it and provides a link premiumizing service. I would also like to be able to give out direct links for the purposes of using Syncplay.

    Whatever I use must be compatible with Torrentio inside of Stremio.
