You are valid, and we love you

Wait, the rolling stones are still touring? That's wild, that bands more than 60 years old. I am amazed

It should be distro agnostic, yes. It's a bios replacement so once it hands off to the OS it should be chill

The reason why many people like coreboot is ownership over your system. The codes freely available to you, what it does is known, and this it's harder to backdoor.

As for functionality, by my understanding, this allows for updates way past what manufacturers are willing to support. Making older hardware much more secure.

Other than support for older systems and peace of mind there's not anything I'd know myself. It may be able to allow features that the bios doesn't allow but the hardware supports as well but I don't have any examples

I'll admit, I'm a paranoid man, so peace of mind and ownership over my system is the main allure. Also, I hate branding, and love to remove it where possible. Coreboot allows this

As an entirely un-related party with no further knowlage I can confirm that yeah, it definitly happened.

My source? I just want to believe man

If my players said that from this image the spear would suddenly become a pretty sick magic item.

It's also cursed though, like the one ring, to cause jealousy and greed

It's a 2001 documentary series about a small paper company in the city of scranton, Pennsylvania. It follows the life of many workers throughout their day with a focus on the boss.

Personally I enjoyed it as I could see what a real american office setting looked like and the struggles they endure. It now stands as a time capule for it's age.

Hope that helped man :)

(Seriously though, forgot where I was. Sorry man, I'm very tired)

It's the guy in the background, don't think she's famous.

The dude behind her plays dwight in 'the office'

Edit: shit, sorry, very tired and didn't see the community name. Yeah, that sounds dickish re-reading it with that knowlage

At this point? Industries who had to raise their prices due to a large number of concurrent issues a while ago didn't drop them afterwards keeping the difference as profit. They're now still raising their prices without any economic factor driving the need to. To the common person, the main contributor is the supermarket.

Putin's war does slow Ukraines food output straining the international food market. However, this is a minor factor which has been mitigated, and even if the war ended today the market has shown nobody will lower their prices.

Profits drive inflation.

Hi there friend, I am here to inform you that many woman also like the titty. Gay girls exist my friend, and the gender of the three professionals is never specified.

I'll assume ya ain't trying to be homophobic my buddy but I hope you keep that in mind for future refference.

Edit racism comment was another guy, sorry, very tired

To answer the "are you a boss" question the answer is kinda, but yhat's the idea of socialism. Everyones a boss. The idea is against non-workers owning the industry, and ensures workers have control over it. If you see an issue with your suggested practice I understand but I'll clarify it' not anti-socialist. At your scale, with the other options available, I can only see your option being a better one.

I think you see the possible issues inherent in renting as well as the coercion in it. There's certainly ways in which one can exploit the relationship. As long as you're not doing so however there's no moral flaw. In fact, on an environmental note you're likely helping. If you're undercutting the massive industry and treat those who rent from you well you're doing them a kindness.

Of course, one can do evil here, but understanding that and actively making effort not to do so is a good place to be in. All economic activity can cause harm no matter the system. As a socialist, I believe that when more people with a stake in the work have control over industry the outcome is better

Hey man, I understand the confusion and would like to correct some notions. Particularly with some comments here conflating socialism with other ideas.

Socialism is simply workers controlling industry. This may mean many things including each business being controlled by it's individual workers, all industry being collectively owned by society as a whole, or other similar ideas. Personally I believe in the former. As long as the people working in a business control said business this is socialism

What if that industry is the rental of tractors? Well, then all workers involved in this business must control the business. If you are the sole worker, the only one operating this business, then you have sole control.

If you were to, let's say, buy 10 tractors and bring on a receptionist to manage calls and schedule tractor usage well then that receptionist would also own, and control, this business as well. Same goes as it grows. Just as a person selling wheat to a grain mill doesn't need to hold any ownership over the grain mill nor the mill over the farm you selling your tractors usage doesn't need those using it to own your tracker.

Socialism does not necessitate the collective ownership of property nor does it mean industrial rental isn't an option. It only necessitates that the workers control industry. This may mean that each individual business operates as it's own entity, controlled by it's individual workers.

Workers seizing the means of production can mean does not mean, necessarily, society owning it collectively nor does It mean all who use it may have ownership.

I feel that socialism and communism often get conflated. Private ownership of property and the means of production is allowed under socialism, just not ownership over industry. You can personally own and rent out a tractor but you cannot personally own a tractor rental company. Under communism, all is owned collectively

Now, the morals of renting are another thing altogether and entirely detached from socialism. Personally, I think it mostly immoral. Under your circumstance I see no issue selling excess time with a tool you use for the majority of the time. The issue comes when a single renter start to pay entirely for maintenance with excess profits. In my opinion, this should grant them partial ownership. Once more though this is detached from socialism entirely

Even if it does it looks to be a simple bttf sub module, which isn't a full partition. This is something you can change manually without much issue. I'd warn you that it may require some terminal work and editing your fstab which is an advanced topic but as an endeavor user you should be good to do it.

But they are now, they exist currently. The fuck are you talking about. If we became an ancap society they wouldn't magically disapear. What, you think that any ancap would ask for these companies to disolve before they're society started? To go back to square one? Nah, that's not what the guy pictured or any popular ancap has suggested. That's not randian, that's some fantasy. Rands suggested solution necesitates the lalrger corporations gaining control. To be allowed to freely operate. Name me one ancap thought leader who suggests a mass reset and that in no world a large corp could form.

Also, even if ancap sociaty started from scratch eventually a company would gain power over an industry. With nothing to stop them, the biggest companies would inevitably grow bigger. That's capitalism, the need to grow is constant and one cannot stagnate. Not neccessarally a bad thing but with no guide rails it logically means monopoly. No, a lack of copyright law wouldn't stop any company from growing to a size where they could kill competition.

When there's a new industry too, they'll be the ones to pioneer it. What, do you think Microsoft came fully formed from bill gates forehead? No, the current companies at the time would have taken gates designs and copies them. They, with their distribution networks, would easily outcompete. What if bill made a better product? Well, no copyright, it's now theirs.

Nah, that just means they can take whatever they want from others too. Now they own all the smaller projects as well, and any changes they make to linux don't have to be shared. Linux is now winix, and they've paid the computer companies to nolonger allow linux to be installed at all via hardware. What, that's anti-competative? Yeah, who's gonna stop them? You? You don't have the resources.

What, could you make a windows clone? Could you then out-compete the multi-billion dollar company in the market? What PC would allow you to install your windows clone? Also, Microsoft now owns the land you live on. You must leave, they are the owners of that land and thus make the rules. Want to fight back? too bad, they own the private police force too. Policing is an industry, and currently the government has a monopoly over it. Without regulations they're now a free org who takes the highest bid. You don't have enough money to live while copying Microsoft Windows. Nobody does.

What? Another company will use they're resources to compete with windows? Why would they win? Microsoft has more resources, will buy more output, will pay more companies for exclusivity, and can have them put a system in to brick the PC if you try not using windows. Sure, they may be able to get a small industry set up, but none of what they make will inter-operate with windows and now this small fraction of PC users is isolated. Why would anyone switch?

No, anarcho capitalism won't stop Microsoft's existence because of copyright. Copyright in many ways protects smaller orgs more, and with no other regulations stopping the big orgs from stomping out the small orgs it won't matter. The only possible fight would be between the titans and when one titan wins, that's no more helpful to the small people.

That guy in the bottom doesn't want to eat the rich, he's an anarcho capitalist. He wants microsoft to be free from those pesky regulations stopping it from collecting and selling every tiny piece of information it can get it's hands on

Honestly if you just bake them right they're still chill. Fry them up in stir fry, steam them with the other veg, they're just like broccoli misunderstood because people overcook them, or boil them. Always a bad idea

You're ideas best though for a doubter

Aww, what a cute danger baby

I've had bad experiances. Started the pc on mint with cinimon, but that had some issues so I installed xfce and plasma to see if another environment may work. Xfce worked like a dream but plasma was quite laggy.

I'd say plasma has similar or possibly mildly better performance than win10. Any time I put it on older hardware it seems to bog it down quite a bit

Mostly same here, save for legit indie companies. I'm still going to buy haunted chocolater, silksong, and arcane (by randy) when they come out. Maybe hades 2 as well but I'll have to look into the question of "are they indie?" beforehand. Alot of people claimed that helldivers was indie when I'd argue it really isn't
