That doesn’t really explain why the file explorer compiled for 64-bit computers is slow as balls

J’ai surtout hâte de voir ce que la compétition va faire, car Qualcomm sont parmi les seuls à ne pas supporter le standard de démarrage…

Pour le Qualcomm, en fait le problème c’est pas vraiment le support du CPU mais plutôt le fait que le bootloader fonctionne comme les téléphones Android, où il faut une configuration unique (DeviceTree) à chaque ordinateur pour qu’il puisse démarrer car leur processeur ne supporte pas le standard Arm SystemReady.

En règle générale, avec les Dell XPS, Thinkpad ou un Framework auront virtuellement 0 problèmes de comptabilité avec Linux (sauf pour ceux avec les processeurs Snapdragon qui viennent de sortir, eux ne démarreront même pas).

The real answer is no one. They will quickly realize that at the root of the economy are the regular people, and since the economy is a cycle, when you cut off a part, the cycle doesn’t work anymore.

People (doomers) here are saying businesses and rich people will, but this can only, work for a limited time, because either the products will shoot up in price since only the rich can afford them, or the businesses won’t be able to sell their products, so they can’t buy new things, which means no more revenue to the shareholders.

Think of all the companies that live from b2b models, when you look closer, they are all at some the suppliers of b2c businesses, except, maybe military companies. That company that makes the lithography machines (asml) only sells to other businesses such as tsmc. Tsmc also only sells to other businesses, but they sell to businesses that sell to consumers.

Ay, just this after noon I was wondering how my phone got from 35 to 20 percent in an hour or two while being mostly unused

I think it’s more like what Mozilla is to google; Linux to Microsoft is a tool to prevent antitrust issues

A scale and a legend would have been pretty helpful, and a specific criteria as well, because we don’t have the info on what was used to measure how supportive or not a province is

There’s other reasons to dislike Aral but these ain’t them. My list is more like:

• If you have the audacity to contradict him he’ll block you in 0.01s
• he feels entitled to FOSS projects catering to his very specific edge case
• he always finds a way to complain, even when it’s objectively good news, big doomer energy

Telecom industry is so corrupt here it’s unbelievable they get away with it

Interesting, I’ve always wondered how much battery my always on VPN consumes, it seems not much, but still not an insignificant amount. But my biggest worry with always on vpns is the idle usage, and its good to see its basically non extistent!

Yeah 100%. the current government here has a tendency to do bad stuff and a big fear here is they will slowly make it more private owned. But I think that every essential service should be state owned. electricity, groceries, clothing, internet etc. We have too few companies here that share too much of the market

Thanks for getting to our level on your own 😘

The last bracket which starts at 235k is about 58% (but there are many ways to put money aside to lower your income bracket). But don’t lose our hair worrying if we will have to file for bankruptcy to get basic healthcare. In Montreal we have a top 10 world university that costs less than 1000$ per semester for citizens. We also don’t have to worry about people carrying guns around. But go on I guess

The article and comments here make me very happy to live in Quebec where the electricity is 0,067CAD per kWh for the first 40, then after it is 0,103CAD per kWh, and most of the time, that electricity is 100% renewable. In Québec we have many problems but the electricity is one big point to be proud of as a nation

Yikes, Pixels are already pretty low volume compared to other flagships, and they don’t have the best reputation for long term reliability, as well as having exynos based processors which means high heat, low performance and (comparatively, against TSMC fabbed snapdragon 8 series) terrible efficiency/power consumption

When you have a cat lawful evil really helps with “finding out the mf had a lot of fun during the night and completely destroyed this brand new roll”

I like smaller phones that do not compromise too much on the usability. I got my S23 256GB for 700CAD taxes in in may last year, and I think this is a fair price. So I’ll go with 600-800 taxes in!

This is the fediverse, what do you expect? There will always be something to be complaining about here!

When I am asked for tip when purchasing bread at a bakery, I put no tip. Why would I tip for a service interaction that lasted 28 seconds? “Id like some bread please. here you go, its x$. beep thank you have a great day”

I ordered take out pizza once, the prompt said 18, 20 or 30%. If they had kept reasonable options maybe I would have CONSIDERED tipping. But the fact that the suggested tip amount was 18% just made me say nope you get nothing. And the service was pretty bad as well soo… At this point I don’t care if I get bad looks from the employee

i think its the kind of scenario where if they simply kept the regular options of say 10, 15, 18% more people would be inclined to tip because the action of asking for a tip wouldn’t seem so greedy. Its like they forget that a tip is OPTIONAL and normally it should be given only if the service was exceptional, as a “thank you for going above and beyond to make us happy”

and dont get me wrong, Ive worked at a restaurant and I got part of the tip money, it was really cool because it paid much more than any other minimum wage job I could have found while in high school. But you also have to understand that the waiters at the place I worked at made up to 45$-50$ an hour during the summer (thats about 35$ an hour of tips, + the base tip minimum wage of about 10$). In my opinion tipping should only be given when the service is exceptional and especially when the workers are on tip minimum wage, and not the regular one

EDIT: HAHAHA I just read the last paragraph of the article:

Karen Kho, owner and operator of Empire Provisions and Lil’ Empire Burger in Calgary, says on the whole, customers have been more conservative with their money as of late. That’s been reflected both in the tip amounts left, and in their general purchasing habits.

But if consumers are really feeling stretched by the rising cost of everything, Kho said moving away from tipping might not be the best solution. She said if her staff weren’t helped out by tips and she had to pay higher wages instead, she’d need to raise prices by about 15 to 20 per cent — a standard tip amount — anyway.

So basically she’s saying that her minimum wage workers (I highly doubt a burger place has waiters on the tip minimum wage) will have to increase the COSTS by 20% as if 100% of the money generated by sales was going into the salaries of the workers… Why did this even make it into the article?? Yeah for sure your employee going from 15$ to 20$ (100% estimation on the numbers btw) per hour totally justifies raising the prices by that much
