"Power to the Soviets?

No! Power to a small group of individuals over everyone else."

Nebraska Legislature passes minimum wage decrease for teen workers in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] jcorvera@quokk.au 5 points 2 days ago

You know what would have prevented this? Higher pay for the Unicam. The 1k/mo salary Legislators get only encourage those who have a primary passive income with nothing to do to set our laws in this state.

Discord Alternatives, Ranked in c/technology@lemmy.world

The older terminology, which is still used in the API, was a lot better.

It was Guild. It was a Discord Guild. Probably because Stanislav was working on it after he abandoned Guildwork.

Avoid Managed.com (quokk.au)
 

I am a former employee of the company. When I started, it was a small operation out of Bellevue, NE being sold by the founder to a pair of investors in Minnesota. For a time, things were alright until the company was sold off to Deluxe. Deluxe did nothing for the brand and in fact let it get worse by not doing anything. Then, they sold the company off to HostPapa, where tenure was reset.

Over the years, the quality of the service we provided did start going downhill, especially when we started chasing after the new-and-latest thing, rather than focusing on the core competency - competent ASP.NET CMS hosting with white glove service, 24/7/365. Today, I'm lucky if I get a response from my former colleagues within 15 minutes.

Currently, their old Hyper-V Cluster is having some issues, has been for almost half a month. And guess what, someone's dragging their feet to get it fixed. All while corporate chases AI to sell to customers. It's a dumpster fire. Stay away.

AbiWord would be pretty good on Haiku

It's in HaikuDepot as well. I did see Calligra Office too, not sure if that's the same as KOffice or not.

I need to try the Hut's pie again soon. Might be a step up from the Godfather's experience.

what radicalised you? in c/peoplemastodon@quokk.au
[–] jcorvera@quokk.au 2 points 1 week ago

Finding my gender identity, seeing how the people I associated with treated others and finding I was in a very dangerous cult, the internet exposing me to other people and their plights, reading Kropotkin.

How's the Vegas Loop handling traffic again?

Oh, right... it's a taxi service through a tube underground between the airport and the convention center... not very usable by all.

It's been a while since I dusted off Haiku and gave it a shot at customization. After poking and prodding a bit, I am rather pleased with this one -

Using an image from the Unsplash package. Replicants on the desktop are the Activity Monitor meters, Weather (from the package repository) and WordClock (from the package repository). Within the Deskbar, there is WebWatch.

UI font is Montserrat, installed globally outside of packages.

I know it's not as busy as some screenshots, but I figured with the Replicants on the desktop, it's not as bare, as they are technically programs without borders.
