Or that businesses that employ people in the classic employer-employee way are effectively price-fixing the labor market. The larger they are, the stronger the effect.

You’re observing a snapshot period and confusing it for the whole.

So is this helping or hurting Harris?

And they managed to do that with those lazy US workers? Wow.

E: folks, pls look up TSMC bosses’ statements on American workers’ ethic

All decent DP KVMs are very expensive. I got an IOGEAR which is a rebranded Aten. It was also in the same price range. Who knew high resolution needs high bandwidth and high bandwidth signaling and switching is hard…

Could be, depends. You can measure things and see. I did the opposite conversion years ago - drops to handlebars on a Jamis road bike. Worked fine in that case.

Another thing to consider is your back. I don’t know how “aero” you sit on your current but many drop bar bikes have more athletic position than can give you back pain. There are options to raise the bars but they’re not amazing. If you already have the shrimp racing position, then you should be fine.

If I’m doubt get your friend’s bike for a longer ride and see how it is.

Your Transeo can already go on dirt roads. Perhaps with a different set of tires. Going road or gravel generally means going drop bars and you have to be okay with that. Personally I’m not. Some people do swap drop bars for handlebars but then you’d get what you already have. Personally I’d likely upgrade the Transeo. I’d change the tires, brakes and if I’m feeling generous - the drivetrain. If I experience any issues with wheels going out of true, then I’d replace the wheels too.

This drama is from 2021. HA is still open source and has been great.

The Nix maintainers come off pretty entitled in this one. They ignore advice, requests and do not provide an engineering solution that could solve this without incurring the cost HA would bear. You don’t get to dictate or create work for an open source project that wasn’t designed to play well in your environment. If you want to get it to play nice in there, come up with a proposal that the upstream accepts and implement it. Better yet, come up with a design of your system that accommodates the upstream project. If you go ahead and create that work anyway, upstream can use the tools at their disposal to prevent that.

Yeah, that’s a constant. I was wondering if there’s more to it. :D

Amazon moving many roles out of North America and into India.

This really happening? What sort of roles are they moving?

5-8% of their staff every year

I’m aware of this policy but I didn’t realise the number was that large.

Why do they want to get rid of people?

Ignore the noise and go with Ubuntu LTS. When you get comfortable with that, you could try Debian.

You could play it backwards too. Try Debian, if you can’t get it to do what you want, wipe and do Ubuntu LTS. But I do not recommend this path if you have no idea what you’re doing. People underestimate how difficult it is to do simple things when you don’t know how to, no matter how trivial.

That’s an odd request. I’m not a huge fan of video content but there’s legitimately good content in video format.

Not necessarily. For all of these cases, Debian, Ubuntu, Pro, the community and Canonical are package maintainers. Implementing patches means means one of: grabbing a patch from upstream and applying it to a package (least work, no upstream contribution); deriving a patch for the package from the latest upstream source (more work, no upstream contribution); creating a fix that doesn’t exist upstream and applying it to the package (most work, possible upstream contribution). I don’t know what their internal process is for this last case but I imagine they publish fixes. I’ve definitely seen Canonical upstreaming bug fixes in GNOME, because that’s where I have been paying attention to at some point in time. If you consider submitting such patches upstream as actively involved in project development, then they are actively involved. I probably wouldn’t consider that active involvement just like I don’t consider myself actively involved when I submit a bug fix to some project.

I hope OpenAI is going to serve as a radicalizing example to all the engineers, who fell for the “ethical guy/company” rhetoric, that the minority-controlled corporate structures they’re used to cannot withstand the push for profit. I hope this will make more of them choose majority-controlled structures for their startups and demand unions in existing corpos.

Exactly. In Debian, the community implements security patches. In Ubuntu, Canonical implements security patches for a part of the repo (main), the community implements them for the remainder (universe). This has been the standard since Ubuntu’s inception. With Ubuntu Pro, Canonical implements security patches for the whole repo (main and universe).
