Yes.

By Planning.

I didn’t think it would work for the first 10 years. I just wanted to eat better cat food in retirement.

Pursuing higher paid jobs when I can. Changing jobs periodically. Pursuing higher pay until the pay asked for my soul. Then stepped back, changed jobs, and make way more for less.

Paying down debt when possible. Building up to a constant dollar figure of debit and investment per month. Growing that when I can. I now save 40%+ of my income.

Keeping my spending low by prioritizing my time on free things. Prioritizing the money I spend on high pact purchases.

Planning with 4% rule. Works out to needing 300 times your monthly spend in savings. Driving that number down. A $15 a month expense requires $4,500 invested to support.

A great market runup.

I am glad I did too. My friends are dying. One’s 40’s are rough.

Honest Answer: Legal requirements.

Local offices have more competition.

Having a rule written about their actions, or a law named after them.

For the rules, they did something stupid and management wants it to not happen again. If a law, then they were the victim of something terrible.

(Slim chance it was heroic, or cool.)

Thought MMT was recently disproved.

No sources. Thought the recent inflation showed it to not model things. It would be great if MMT worked though.

This is a thread about slow uptake by programs of Wayland.

X works for me.

What is there to explain?

Please explain.

you think the distros have to implement their own version of Wayland?

Nope. They do have to test their own shit.

Why make a change when one can just not?

But why would the distros do that? It takes effort and has real costs for them.

Top 6 hours, then New, then top 12 hours.

It is not enough to make a better product.

It is not enough to create all tooling and libraries to seamlessly migrate to the new product, but it helps.

There also needs to be a great big positive reason to make the change. Paying developers, huge user base, the only hardware support, great visuals, etc.

Until I cannot run software on X11, I won’t switch over knowingly.

Thank you for pulling the image out.

This talk surprised me at the time. I was starting the eye opening experience of design hardware. Linux more orchestrates the hardware than controlling it.

To avoid convo in multiple places, it is in reply to message you replied to.

RISC-V is better for Linux due to driver support. Vendors making hardware are more likely to use RISK-V for their controllers due to the costs. Modern computers are putting more functions under control of kernels that run on proprietary compute. (There exists a chart showing how little the Linux kernel directly controls.) As more of those devices run RISC-V, they will become more discoverable.
Also, those that can design or program tge devices will have more transferrable skills. Leading to the best designs spreading, and all designs improving.

Places in a computer with compute (non-exhaustive, not all candidates for RISC-V):
BMC
Soundcard (or subsystem on mainboard)
Video card (GPU and the controller for the GPU)
Storage drives
Networking
Drive interface controlling card
Mainboard (not BMC)
Keyboard
Mouse
Monitor
UPS
Printer

Will it be perfect? Nope.
A lot of the vendors will lock things up as well.

Barter. Learn a tradable skill. Build a group of friends.

But also save money.

Yes. A whole lot more would need to be asynchronous.

This is true. I tend to do my best thinking away from work, and not part of my current work time.

You raised a number of great points. I won’t address all of them.

Setup and organizing parts/resources would need attention. Deliveries, messages, and decisions would all need adjustments. I expect that while one may work 3 hours a day, they may not be the same 3 hours every day, or even continuous.

Create a series of folders labeled with dates. Every day copy the useful stuff to the new folder. Every night change modified dates on all files to current date.
