How do I pull those up? Yep, I'm one of those, used the GUI as I don't know how to do it from the terminal, plus I'm immensely forgetful

Me too, and it sorta has Wayland support, but it's not real good. I also like Cosmic, I think it has a good future ahead of it.

 

Easy one I hope. LMDE5, trying to add a user. According to various sites I checked, it's easy enough, go to control panel, users and groups, click on add, and fill in the details, and bob's your uncle... Except that it didn't work, still just the one user on the log in screen. Tried giving the new user the same permissions as the current one, no dice, have also rebooted, and nothing. So, either I missed something, or the system isn't behaving, but either way, I could use a hand with this, thanks.

 

No? Well, keep an eye out for a Poof Daddy show in your town

This sabotage is why I keep saying that third parties need to be realistic and stop focusing on the Presidency, instead focus on the jobs that make the laws, the ones that can remove the barriers for third parties while demonstrating why they're the better party.

FedEx is so very complicated, FXG isn't union, Federal Express is, IIRC something to do with them being under FAA authority. Not sure about FedEx Freight, FedEx LTL or FedEx Expediting. And that's just part of the mess of the company. As to the name thing, that was started by RPS, FXG's predecessor, and was a single contractor buying a route from RPS, with RPS supplying vans and uniforms much the way Amazon does with their companies, but it's entirely possible that some of those drivers bought multiple routes and formed up their own little company, or that FXG followed in Amazon's footsteps and switched to contracting with companies rather than individuals.

Amazon upped it here by hiring courier companies, even helping to found them, with really bad contract deals, rather than hiring individual contractors like companies had before this.

[–] MrPhibb@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago

Amazon is particularly good at thinking up ways to avoid responsibility, they own no vans, employ no drivers, have no planes nor employ any pilots, and they don't own any tractors and don't employ any truck drivers.

Did they change? I worked for them as a sorter before they were FedEx Ground, and at that time it was similar, each driver was a contractor with FXG, but after the lawsuit (dunno what happened with that), and seeing how successful the scam was for Amazon, I wouldn't be surprised if'n they changed.

I'm not surprised it won't be an electric Maverick, I don't think they're ready to make a new version, and the current chassis I don't think would work for a BEV, though I'm surprised they haven't made a PHEV version, as the chassis is shared with the Escape IIRC which has a PHEV version or at least had one.

[–] MrPhibb@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

I wish they'd make an extended cab version of the Maverick, but I suppose the inability to keep up with demand is a large part of why they haven't.

Are you talking why for the user, or why it was developed? The main reason it exists is that System 76 like the Gnome desktop, but didn't like stuff Gnome was doing, so they decided to make their own version from scratch in Rust. For a user, I don't think there's any real compelling reason to use it, especially not right now, unless you love Rust, or have the same feelings about Gnome that S76 did.

I've been running it on my Asahi linux for a bit over a week, and while it comes off feeling a bit bare bones, I've had no stability issues despite it being an alpha, in fact all issues I've had are minor, in fact the biggest issues come from Asahi Linux, not Cosmic.

 

Seeing as how I don't like either Gnome or KDE, though I did give KDE a try, I decided to switch to Cinnamon. Yes, that picture looks odd, I'm short on monitors that'll fit on the space I have left on my desk, so I'm using an old Dell with a 4:3 ration thanks to an HDMI to VGA converter. Some how there's dust in the display though, which is really annoying. Not much to say, if'n you've used Linux Mint, this should look rather familiar, it's just lightly customized at this point, it'll get more, and it works as you'd expect. Yes, this is the X11, and you're supposed to use Wayland. Funny thing about that, this is rock solid, whereas with Wayland I had a bunch of silly problems, can't drag tabs in Firefox, menu glitches, and no keyboard customization. General problems are minor, boot is real slow, I mean real slow, and Sat's update broke wireless, but I'm only feet from my gateway, so wired it is. Overall this works real nice, basically Mint running on an M1 iMac.

 

 

Y'all might've noticed the lack of posts here. Near as I can tell, this has never successfully Federated beyond Lemmy which kinda defeats the purpose, so I've moved it over to it's own account on Mastodon, recalls@social.xcetera.biz rather than it's original form which was as a subsection of news@social.xcetera.biz
