    You believe exploiting laborers is a thing Americans invented:

    The whole “if you have time to lean you have time to clean/ I’m not paying you to stand around” exploitative nonsense. […] It comes from an old school “Protestant work ethic” which has been a pervasive sickness in American culture since its foundations.

    It is some of the most obvious American exceptionalism I’ve seen lately. Read the definition, hot shot. You naively believe that this “work culture” of pushing workers is something American or something new.




  • I’m literally reading your posts and responding to your words.

    The real issue is that even today, some apps (Firefox, gedit, some terminals) don’t adjust their scaling to the new screen

    This shows you dont know what fractional scaling is otherwise you would have used the term.

    I work in Linux as a daily driver for work and personal. I don’t care what the tools are, but they need to work and stay out of the way. Right now, Wayland implementation of multi monitor for my hardware is too much bother, I’ll try it again in a year.

    This is you being stubborn because you’re justifying your inaction based on false manufactured premises.

    I have no objections to Wayland itself, but I value the kind of stability xfce gives me, which is stable, predictable, and gets out of the way. Right now, on my hardware, Wayland/gnome is not there.

    This shows you don’t understand what Wayland is because you compared a compositor protocol to a desktop environment.

    This is the same as doctors calling people fat. They’re serious. You’re fat and have to lose weight to be healthy.

    Dentists aren’t doing this to antagonize you. It has nothing to do with the “toughness” of your gums. They’re telling you that your gums are nasty and you have to actually floss them. Gums bleed during dental visits primarily because of gingivitis and decaying food trapped along the gum lines. Brushing alone is not sufficient for oral hygiene.

    tl;dr you’re gross and dentists are being nice
