Yes. I only have one extra line in my configuration:

boot.binfmt.emulatedSystems = [ "aarch64-linux" ];

I have had great success running NixOS on my Pi. You can build software on your main computer and remote deploy with SSH :)

There are layers to being liked:

  1. Are you nice and pleasant around people? Always do this.
  2. Are you agreeable and easy to work with? It really depends on you and the job, but here you have to be smart.
  3. Do people respect you? You have to be honest and good at what you do, while keeping a careful balance of the second point.

Balance is hard and sometimes you may just find out that the issue is that the workplace do not deserve you and you need to move on.

Budgie was released prior to Windows 10 though.

Okay. I think I saw the first episode once so I would not know.

Parent comment tried to avoid spoilers and you just came in like "Hold my beer".

Many leftists in position of privilege should reevaluate the discrepancy between their idealism and their lack of support for material changes to the present material reality. Sure, it is easy to be part of the global north and believe in their own "freedom" (mostly the absence of violence afflicted to their socioeconomic class), while at the same time being part of exploiting and bombing the global south.

If we are going to be idealists, ask this: How many lives are lost every day due to the free exploitation of labour? How many people starve in a world of plenty or are outright killed in conflict over ownership of resources? Opposing material change is the idealist condoning murder of the innocent proletariat due to the aesthetics of action looking bad. This is the liberal perceived moral high ground.

Using public benchmarks and previously unreported data from within Anthropic, The Anthropic Institute is showing that AI is already accelerating the development of AI systems. To take just one example: today, Anthropic engineers on average ship 8x as much code per quarter as they did from 2021-2025.

Yup. Lines of code as a metric is pure bait for investors.

Many good answers here, but one also has to factor in that not all labour is socially necessary. With rising surplus value and extraction thereof, there follows also a rising inequality leading directly to more people becoming more or less servants of the capitalist class.

I would argue that labour of this type, whether that be managing contradictions arising from the capitalist mode of production or the placating of rich people's whims and needs, is not socially necessary. At the very least the product of this effort ranges from insignificant to detrimental for the proletariat.

Let me add in the following about my country, Norway, whose material conditions I know all to well: There is way too much wealth disparity and rising poverty, but this infographic does not reflect a material shortage of food, of which there is on the other hand an over-abundance of to the detriment of the global south. Recall that we produce food for a billion more people than what exists, yet a billion starve due to the global north's over-indulgence and waste.

The main reasons for the rise in death to malnutrition are eating disorders such as anorexia. This reflects a wholly different contradiction which we should focus on instead of misrepresenting material reality.

EDIT: After some reading it seems the rise is due to a change in the policy of journalling deaths. These are probably old people not eating enough because they are in the process of dying. The important bit with regards to where starvation actually causes death, and not merely corrolates with it, remains true.

So easy it should be illegal! I mean, how can we feel superior if we are not wasting huge amounts of time setting things up!?

 

The bourgeoisie in my country have pushed the euphemism of "working capital" as something that needs protection from wealth tax. By inseparably connecting capital with jobs, they push the narrative that you cannot tax wealth without removing jobs and consequently hurting the working class. They paid for research groups to prove this connection, but what their research actually showed was that wealth tax creates jobs due to incentivizing keeping profits within the companies they own. The audacity to think owning the means of production is a privilege they should enjoy special treatment to keep is beyond me, but even so, this type of rhetoric keeps gaining ground.

What is the propaganda they are pushing on you, and how can socialist policies prevail if reason loses to made up words changing the narrative?
