This is a company of really smart people who work really hard—coders, engineers, designers—people whose creativity and intellect is a part of their job.

Smart enough to see their work is causing massive harm on a global scale? I know we all need jobs because capitalism commodifies life, but we CAN choose where we work.

Edit to add: if these very smart people were able to land jobs at Meta, they're likely very employable elsewhere and the CHOSEto work for Meta.

I don’t know a way to get around the paywall here, but it seemed to be the same as other articles (Reuter reports that Fox reports…)

I added Gummo and Kids in another post.

Schizopolis is really good and weird but doesn't leave you as hollowed out as those others.

It's been a while but I remember Visioneers giving me a similar feeling of bleakness.

So much horror and comedy wrapped up together. There's the baby scene, and the other baby scene juxtaposed with great bits like:

It's shite being Scottish.
We're the lowest of the low!
The scum of the fucking Earth!
The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash, that was shat into civilisation!
Some people hate the English. I don't!
They're just wankers!
We, on the other hand, are colonised by wankers!
Can't even find a decent culture to be colonised by!
We're ruled by effete assholes!
It's a shite state of affairs to be in Tommy, and all the fresh air in the world won't make any fucking difference!

The Testament is the continuation of Handmaid's Tale and is rough as well.

Second for Requiem. Such a good movie but it does not leave you the same as before you watched it.

Want some dread from an animated movie? Watership Down, especially the original, was nightmare fuel in my wife's childhood.

New to Pop! OS - trouble adding Steam library and audio issues in Helldivers 2. (sh.itjust.works)
 

I made the leap and ditched Windows and made the switch. I'm not married to Pop! OS, it just happened to be the first distro I tried and has been mostly a breeze setting up and getting used to but I do have a couple issues I wasn't able to resolve this weekend. Hoping someone else has seen similar.

  • Cannot add library in Steam: this is likely due to me misconfiguring the drive, mount, or fstab. When I try to add a drive in Steam it allows me to browse the drive and select a folder but then nothing is actually added to Steam. The drive was newly formatted with 2 partitions, both ext4. Unfortunately I am at work and cannot get blkid, df, fdisk, fstab, etc. but my hope was someone had found a better guide than the ones I have tried thus far.

  • Helldivers 2 audio issue: crackling and audio cutting out.; from what I've read it sounds like a throughput issue with the sound server (POP OS default is pulse audio). I came across a couple guides for troubleshooting audio issues with HD2 in Linux that sought to address this with pulse audio and others for pipewire but none of those ended up being helpful. Again, the hope is someone here has had a similar experience and can share what helped them or get me pointed in a good direction for troubleshooting.
