Paying more can't magically make more people available to work and there are real labor limits right now. It just means that if you want people, you have to make sure you're using them as effectively as possible and pay them above market rates.
But for every guy you get, the other guy loses a spot and has to compete harder.
It's really weird, but Christians have this whole death cult thing going on and it requires Israel be around for revelations to happen.
This means that hitler and the resulting creation of Israel was literally part of God's plan and this guy will support Israel still existing with religious fevor.
You seem to have a lot of faith in manifesting your imagination into reality
Says the tankie to the anarchist, both living in delusion of practical reality.
Your cruel maskless authoritarianism will make an example to the world of what not to do. Over and over again people like you are revealed to want one thing. Control without check. It's why you're scared of capitalism. You actually have to be worth a damn to compete in a market, but when you embrace authoritarian ideals all you need are friends and guns.
The last two decades of American stagnation in terms of wages and take home pay are largely thanks to the repressive policies of overseas authoritarian "socialists" who justify their repression with the same ideals you do. They suppress their people's income to make their manufacturing competitive and undermine American labor in the process.
And American tolerance for their bullshit thanks to our naive idea that we are invincible and these countries will "come around".
I'd love to come back in a decade to see how this all pans out for you, but you'll probably be parroting the exact same narrative despite continued evidence that a mixed market economy with strong unions is the best structure for society we have today.
Politicians have armies of statistics and pollsters to study people's opinions and feedback.
They carefully choose a demographic groups they choose to appeal to, and they pick issues that will allow them to capture enough people who will begrudgingly support them as possible.
They don't need the 1500th phone call saying the exact same thing as the last 1400 to understand who they're representing and what their opinions are.
There are times contacting your representative in this way is important. When your road is fucked up or your local company is doing something they shouldn't and nobody in the media or on the internet is talking about it.
Or sending a letter, answering a poll, so that their data people can sit and count them to figure out what they need to do in the next election cycle.
The representative is very well aware of what's going on in Israel and is very aware of the protests and the opinions people have about it. You're not informing them, and you're not actually contributing anything by spamming them with phone calls about it.
And if you want to see literal genocide, let the Palestinians rule "from the river to the sea". What they do to the Jews will make isis look like children in terms of their cruelty.
Memes are common things that have existed as long as humans have.
Historians of the future will not only understand our memes easily, but because they're (hopefully) more advanced future humans with better technology and culture they'll be sharing memes that put ours to shame.
According to the TSA frozen water is allowed past so long as it is totally frozen and not slushy and has no water at the bottom of the container. Basically make sure it's really damn cold before you leave and hope it doesn't melt on you.
In fact doing some things on the deck is more tricky because it’s limited to installing flatpaks.
That's the advantage. A PC with a layer on top is a PC with a layer on top. It still wants you to have a mouse and keyboard. You still have to update it like a normal desktop PC.
Steam OS is controller and controller only. It's a no bullshit durable system designed to be put on a box and just leave it that way.
You can do the same things, but I'm not putting a norma lLinux box running steam under my TV.
The lack of flexibility is power when it comes to use as a console. "You can do the same" isn't true when the desire is to have a no bullshit "just works" experience with minimal setup.
Except SteamOS is also just “a linux box running steam”
You can basically count on this as a rule, whenever you're saying something reductive like this, You are probably missing something really critical.
In this case that critical thing you're missing is ease of use and support.
I'm not putting a Linux distro under my couch because I know that almost as a fact that computer will break in some strange way, and I will have to dig that stupid thing out from under my TV, plug it into some stupid monitor keyboard and mouse, and fix it by following a guide on Google, reinstall the operating system to whatever the hot flavor of the month that actually has developer support is, that sort of thing.
But I would happily install steam OS, because I know I would drop steam OS on that box and it would just work for however long valve has a successful hardware line, which at this point I think is going to be a decade given the success of the steam deck.
SteamOS on Deck is only so stable because everyone has the exact same hardware,
For the most part windows does it fine too.
And even then there have been problems with SteamOS on Deck big enough that it made some have to re-image the OS entirely
You're going to see some issues when something ships hundreds of thousands of products, but the difference is when someone has a problem with the steam deck it's going to generally be an exception.
When someone has a problem with your custom Linux build? That's generally the rule.
I use Lenox all the time, so I can say this pretty confidently. A few weeks ago I tried to disable ipv6 on Ubuntu. After doing that the Wi-Fi program crashed every time I tried to make a connection and I had to go into the files and delete all of the configs.
You're not into just basic stuff like that all the time with any Linux build or stuff just breaks. Something like the steam deck that is so tightly controlled and managed by a third party company that is going to be way more rare in the system is going to be way more reliable.
The OS being bug-free on valves hardware absolutely does not mean it will be on whatever you’re chucking beneath your TV.
Not necessarily, but it's going to be a lot more likely to with the reduced scope and the fact that you have valve, able to do real testing and validation and give you supported hardware.
And, you’re still wrong, what you said, is that SteamOS is “more powerful”. It’s not, it’s objectively less capable than most linux distros
At that point you're just nitpicking and confusing what exactly I meant by power.
When I said more powerful, I refer to the fact that the steamos is built from the ground up to be nothing but a controller based interface with absolutely no dependency on mouse or keyboard.
More powerful in the context of being an under the TV set box, and in the fact that it's a digital built from the ground up, supported by an actual company, it's far more useful and capable as an under the TV set box than any other Linux alternative.
If you're defining power as the ability to open up a shell and do whatever the heck you want, you're describing a trait that is entirely and fully negative when it comes to having a computer under your TV. You can't say a big buff guy is a powerful swimmer because he can lift weights.
More than 10,000 Palestinians have been killed in the month since Hamas’ terrorist attacks inside southern Israel, the group’s health ministry in Gaza says....
Turns out a mass terror attack on a nation rarely benefits the attacker or the nation that was attacked, normally with the attacker coming away worse than their better armed opponent.
It's basically 9/11 all over again. But on a smaller scale and with a Middle Eastern nation far happier to be brutal on the targeted side.
Saudi is probably more annoyed at Hamas for getting in the way of their plans than they are considering cutting off their deals.
Nation states aren't dogs that can be so easily manipulated. So long as the geopolitical incentives exist for the Saudis they'll come back around eventually.
I also think Hamas is acting semi independently. Iran supports them, but from what I've heard they don't control Hamas like they do Hezbollah, and were even surprised by the attack. US intelligence seems to think so, at least.
Which isn't too absolve Iran of the guilt of supporting these guys in general, just to say this wasn't one of their grand plans.
I highly recommend people buy this because system 76 is great.
However, I just got a 14 inch hp elitebook for $250 with a 4th Gen ryen and 16 gigs of ram. Built like a tank and durable and it's got swappable ram and networking.
I don't care how easy it can be repaired if with used enterprise devices I can get four for the price of one and contribute very little to extra pollution by doing so.
We are here still, because to my knowledge no evidence of the "people in the parking lot" bombing being from Israel has come around and most traits of the explosion point to it being a Hamas rocket.
Even this article doesn't say anything about evidence to the contrary coming forward.
Israel has been very plain about saying they did it in the vast majority of cases. The only major hospital incident I'm aware of that they have denied is the one that appears to have been from the Palestinians.
This article is literally citing the reason Israel gave as justification.
