In the upcoming Cosmic desktop by Pop!_OS, workspaces can be monitor specific, just like MacOS

Really exciting to see all the new fixes and developments! The release of Cosmic is one of the most exciting things in store for me this year!

One common complaint I’ve seen with Reddit is the negativity. I’m really hoping that the freshness of Lemmy allows the opportunity for a more positive environment.

Maybe the slight difficulty of joining a Lemmy instance will keep more negative folks away, too.

Best wishes for a recovery. Thank you for being such a great human being to your cat.

I wish that the United States had a proportional ticketing system similar to Finland, where the fine is proportional to income. $9,000 is nothing to someone like Trump.

Nothing will change until they start jailing people. Fines are just the cost of doing business in the modern era.

Switched over to Pop!_OS from MacOS a few years ago. While there aren’t a ton of open source mobile options, I decided to go with GrapheneOS over iOS. Fuck walled gardens.

System76 has some good options. A little overpriced, but your money goes towards an open-source friendly company.

That 10% off at my coffee shop goes a long way towards affording rent.

I definitely understand your view on crypto, and I hate to be an apologist, but here’s a view you may not have considered:

I think mainstream society has gotten far too comfortable with the lack of privacy in our everyday lives, and this extends to finance. A company has no business tracking the data about my purchases, let alone selling it. The government doesn’t need to know everything I spend money on either.

As with most topics relating to privacy, it’s not that I worry about what I have to hide. I worry about your intention with that information. As one example, if I were needing to buy Plan B for an emergency contraceptive, there is a not insignificant portion of our government and the general population that frowns on that, and could paint me as a target in the future if it was known.

What OS are you running on your tablet? I am running Graphene on my phone, and the battery isn’t bad, but I bought a Pixel specifically for the purpose and don’t have a baseline to compare it to.

Horrifying privacy implications aside, AI has really become the new cryptocurrency.

Don’t get me wrong, both technologies are interesting, but it’s tiring to see both be forced into applications that functioned just fine without them.

The only thing that keeps me tied to any Meta platform is the Facebook marketplace. It is the de facto method of buying and selling used goods in a sustainable fashion.

If there was any alternative, especially a federated one, I’d switch over in a heartbeat.

Family pushed college as the only possible way for me to lead a happy life and make money.

The kids from my high school who went into the oil fields are making double my salary.

Instead of making phones thin enough to shave with, just give me a battery that could last a few days.

For so many YouTube videos, I just end up expanding the video description, and that gives me all the information contained in what would otherwise be 15 minutes of my time.
