My biggest problem with Proton is the price. Their family plan is $AUD800 (479 Euro) for 2 years at the cheapest price which is obscene. I can get a family plan with the likes of Microsoft (ugh) for just $260/2 years and it includes Office 365 as well.
Anecdotally speaking, if it wasn’t for medical cannabis I’d be on prescribed opioids + a concoction of other garbage as well.
Money won’t change the fact that moderating humans online as a job sucks either way. Plenty of people are stuck in crappy jobs that they hate and only do because not eating is worse.
I disagree. When you are paid for it you become reliant on it to make ends meet in your life, so you’re more willing to put up with absolute garbage that you shouldn’t have to. This forces people to try to detach from it as a coping mechanism while they fall further down the hole. Paying them won’t change a thing about the mental health issues and will probably make it worse.
I’m not saying we shouldn’t pay them, but we shouldn’t look at it as the fix for this either.
Yeah, I don’t understand who’s buying these at all at that price to be honest. I’m not sure if its the profit margin they want or production-related issues due to the low number runs they’re probably doing.
You can buy 2-3 cheap Chromebooks for that which will theoretically last 10-15 years though for your $1k. Basically no schools are going to turn that up vs a $1k Framework most of which will not last half that long with kids using them.
Sucks for the environment though as you say, I wish it were different.
Framework laptops are the exact opposite of what you’d want in a school environment. This is how you blow your schools IT budget out the window. Cheap, disposable, consistent configuration and manufacturer supported are the key concerns.
These are kids with various standards of computer literacy throwing them in their bags which they also kick around and treat pretty harshly all day long. A $4k Framework-style laptop is just silly.
This is exactly why right here, cost aside.
I would not hand out hundreds of Chromebooks to kids running some Linux distro I installed even if I could. It’s critical to have full manufacturer support in these types of environments.
I’m currently in the market for something like a Chromebook but I’m not buying one because of stuff like this.
Probably one of the many things eventually on the chopping block.
I’m glad it’s this and not actually real tbh.
Look up any model you are considering on the following websites and if it’s listed it should tell you everything you need to know about Linux support. I’d say you’d be safe with most laptops these days though.
Goodbye Drop, nice knowing you.
Watch Corsair add maximum rainbow unicorn vomit while cutting every cost and quality aspect they can. Independent my arse.
The author has never actually eaten these biscuits I reckon.
Please don’t treat posting to Lemmy like a job and honestly do we really need a bunch of reposts anyway? I don’t think so.
Given these appear to be just font size changes in the CSS, could we not just change them back to the old values for Beehaw itself?

You’d be surprised by how many people don’t consider this at all before they post stuff online.
Just look at the millions of muppets posting on Facebook.
The like one dude running sh.it.do.nt.wo.rk is in over his head I think.
Worth noting that the Microsoft plan comes with 6 users too, the value is well beyond what Proton offer.
