At least with Corporate Memphis a bottle’s worth of water wasn’t wasted to create like the piss colored slop. “ai” does not create art, it reproduces derivative garbage.

Whenever I see a new project trying to modernize Xorg, my first question is whether it’s actually about the code or just another protest/spite project. We’ve already seen how XLibre is less about display servers and more about a weird crossover of technical incompetence and fringe politics (championed by people like Lunduke). Is Phoenix actually a serious technical effort, or is it just the latest attempt to build a sanctuary for people who were kicked out of the Wayland and Xorg dev circles?

Using the official Valve repository is my preferred method because it provides a direct line to the developers, ensuring you get the latest GPG keys and installer updates immediately without waiting for them to make their way through the Debian maintainers. While the Debian repo is convenient, it requires you to enable contrib and non-free components globally across your entire system. The method I suggested adds Steam as a specific source without cluttering your main package list with other non-free software. This also makes the installation more consistent across different versions of Debian. Whether you are on Stable or Testing, you are not at the mercy of Debian’s specific package transitions or library freezes, which can occasionally break the Steam bootstrap process in the community-maintained version. I do not believe either way is better, just different for different types of users.

Give me money. Money me. Money now. Me a money needing a lot now.

Here is how I install Steam on Debian:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386  
sudo apt update  
sudo apt install curl  
curl -s http://repo.steampowered.com/steam/archive/stable/steam.gpg | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/steam.gpg > /dev/null  
echo 'deb [arch=amd64,i386 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/steam.gpg] http://repo.steampowered.com/steam/ stable steam' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/steam.list  
sudo apt update  
sudo apt install steam -y  

Edit: Added a fancy block.

Cinnamon is where it is at. Also, I am happy you found something you like. 👍

I don’t understand how anyone can afford fast food now days, let alone paying delivery fees and tips.

I apologize if it could have been worded better.

Here is my train of thought:

By removing a job from the labor market, they are essentially removing an entire salary from the economy. Normally, that employee would be expecting to find another job. With entire industries are removing a crazy number of jobs, the economy would not be expected to be able to provide another job to all of those workers.

I believe there should be a penalty to the company for eliminating jobs from the economy to slow down or prevent it from happening. I would tax the corporation the full salary of the job that they eliminated. We would use that money to fund for UBI.

I understand UBI should not be conditional and it does not have to be in my example. However, there needs to be a way to fund it. Perhaps if the amount of money collected from the “ai tax” is not enough to provide UBI at the level that is fair to everyone, it should also be funded by the wealth tax that I also mentioned.

I hope that clears it up.

100% tax for money after $500 Million. Also, tax corporations the full salary of the worker that is replaced by AI/automation/robotics to fund universal basic income.

“vibe coding”

I was 16. My step-father threw me out and I had to drop out from school. I ended up going to college, so that worked out. As for living alone at a young age, it was hard. It didn’t last long as I found a room mate. I did a lot of stupid things when I was alone, but I think most young people do. A few years later I got married (1st time, huge mistake). The whole experience taught me to be independent and not rely on people. I still have a hard time accepting any sort of help.

I believe the police violated his 4th Amendment rights by unlawfully searching his bag and I believe the police did not have probable cause to justify his arrest. He was also not read his miranda rights in a timely manner.

No, the company charges $15 more if you don’t do auto pay. They market it as a discount for doing autopay.

I can relate. I either refuse to do autopay with most bills (Geico can suck it) or, in the case of my ISP bill, I pay it manually before the autopay comes out to save $15 in fees.

Meh, not much about making me happy motivates me. It makes me happy to make others happy.

My drive typically comes from the satisfaction of making my family/friends happy.

I am bipolar 1. My mania can last anywhere from a day to several months, depending on what triggers it and if something/someone is enabling it. I am mildly manic at the moment. I can usually tell when I can’t sleep and I get obsessive about a subject. Not taking my Seroquel can definitely trigger it or enable it.

I hope you take care of yourself. Good luck!

Proprietary software

They can’t ban me, I already deleted my Reddit account. Also, Mangione is innocent.

Thank you for the great reply. I am not saying one way is better but coming from Debian that was very foreign to me. I have a lot of respect for Slackware and people who use it.
