  • There are some games I sometimes play that don’t work. Fortnite, Infinity Nikki, maybe Overwatch.

    I also like using One Drive for syncing around and accessing files and it works well with my NAS. I have not really got it working at all in Linux.

    On my laptop, when not connected to my home network, the file browser (I tried several) hangs terribly terribly bad when opening it because it can’t find the network drives in my fstab file. It was bad enough I just took them out and manually browse to the folders if I need to by IP.

    I really like Affinity Photo and have a paid copy from before it went free. I can’t get it working in Limux on my laptop. I absolutely HATE GIMP, do not sughest GIMP. The UI has been dog shit for forever (I have tried using it off and on for ages now, like, decades, if its been around that long). Its garbage.






  • Yeah, the only reason “gig economy” workers exist is so companies can use clever lawyer buzz words to exploit workers. We already have delivery drivers, we already had cab drivers, we already had hotels and rental homes, etc etc.

    But suddenly we have “disruptive” gig bull shit, because now its a “ride share” to avoid cab rules. The delivery person works for another company and is a weird psudo contracter because McDonalds isn’t going to pay delivery drivers to have downtime, etc etc.

    Its ultimately just a way get around regular employment laws and exploit people to the max. Its stupid and its why at least for my part, I have not and will not every use these services.






  • They are right, its a trap.

    If the system were set up in a way that you could actually get to the point where those “big things” were not always required, on an individual basis, it wpuld not be.

    But that isn’t the world we live in. We live in one where everything needs to keep raising in cost until there is nonescape from the debt requirement for anyone. And the squeeze will happen until everyone becomes a part of the trap.
