Yeah, there is a mechanism that ensures it, and that's the interaction between competition and artificial scarcity. Companies that try to do things in the best interests of their customers and society end up either getting bought out, or out competed and die. It's a simple matter of survival given the rules of the game that we have set up. Greed is the mechanism that keeps these rules in place and even makes them worse, sure, but then, the rules are designed to encourage and reward greed as well; a positive feedback loop. To stop it, the rules need to be changed at a deeper level than most realize or are comfortable with, despite all the many benefits.

I'm no expert, but this is my understanding as well.

So basically what it all comes down to is competition and not just greed like most people believe. If you don't make more money than the competition, you will fail. That's why companies keep getting bought out all the time, they lost this game. Most people have no idea just how many companies they know are owned by bigger ones they may not know. The whole thing is conglomerating like the T-1000 after it had been shattered and melted. So rabid profit chasing is a matter of survival.

Also, they’ve vehemently claimed for many years that it’s impractical to provide backward frame-by-frame stepping, but Celluloid does it just fine.

Ah, so that's not just me, is it? That's bugged me for a long time. I was so happy when I discovered SM Player could do it.

It's not just numbers though, is it? There's that algorithm thing they use to steer things. Otherwise in principle I agree wirh you.

Can anyone else upgrade buildings in their autophage settlements? (sh.itjust.works)

I can upgrade the buildings in my Korvax settlement fine, but the button to do so doesn't appear on any building in my autophage settlement. I tried waiting for a bugfix update because they usually do it daily after an update, but none so far. 😟 Edit: It's sorted now. Details in replies.

[Solved] Should new distro for dual boot be changing my ssd id numbers? (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Murdoc@sh.itjust.works to c/linuxquestions@lemmy.zip

Ok, so I had 1 ssd with Kubuntu and windows on it. I got a second ssd and I want to put opensuse on it, dual booting (well, triple). The problem is, when I went to install it, it showed the id of my two ssds as opposite of what the partition manager in Kubuntu says. I.e., Kubuntu calls the first one nvme0n1 and my new ssd nvme1n1, while the opensuse installer is calling the old ssd nvme1n1 and the new one nvme0n1. I know because it shows the existing partition sizes on them that way, and recognizes that windows and kubuntu are on the old ssd.

So is this normal? Is this ok? Is it ok to just install it with the ssd names this way? Would that confuse kubuntu at all, or are the two OSes ok with calling them different things? I just don't want the installer to overwrite anything on my existing partitions.

[Solved] Can dual distros share /home? (sh.itjust.works)

Briefly: I'm running Kubuntu right now, just installed a second ssd. If I install another distro (say opensuse) on it, can I tell it to use the same /home that kubuntu is using (which is on a separate partition and drive)? Actually looking to switch distros, but I want to keep all my data where it is on the bigger hdd, while moving games to the ssd.

If you want/need more details:

  • ssd1: windows, kubuntu /
  • hdd1: kubuntu (opensuse) /home
  • ssd2: (goal) opensuse /, second partition for games
