The boomer generation hit the economic jackpot. Young people will inherit their massive debts.
  • Couldn't agree more, though I would say it also distracts from the need to highly regulate capitalism at large, i.e. encourage reinvestment in employees (pay at least in line with inflation, training, etc) over shareholder dividends or CEO bonuses

    This is relevant so not just those at the very top (irrespective of generation) will benefit from economic growth

    What have you been listening to recently?

    Just a small attempt to get more, or indeed any activity going here. I'm also genuinely curious, what have folks been listening to lately? If there's enough interest I could make this a monthly post.

    For myself, a few below:

    Irini - s/t: has probably become my fave Traumprinz/DJ Metatron album which says something, not just techno/trance/ambient but other styles like breaks/dnb scattered about

    Air Liquide - Abuse Your Illusions: kicking myself that it took so long to get into them, still discovering a lot!

    Sandwell District - Feed Forward: stone cold classic that fits most moods personally, RIP Juan

    COSMIC ALPHA 1 Released (Desktop Environment Written In Rust From System76)
  • Checking it out now, seems very usable already!

    Main issues I'm having are related to the Panel applets, like not being able to open Mullvad or Steam library from their right click menus.

    But the standard things I've tried like streaming music, watching movies on VLC on a second monitor and playing games (admittedly easy stuff for the laptop like Slay the Spire and Into the Breach) all work with no issues so far.

    Looking forward to getting into theming, etc and to see Cosmic get the additional Settings menus and be further refined 😄

  • Counter strike 2 issues
  • Fwiw, I've had no issues playing CS2 on either with my old (3700x/1080ti) or newer setup (5800X3D/7900XTX) with PopOS. The first doesn't seem too far away from your rig, have you tried switching the Nvidia driver you're on? I think Turing is fine with 560?

  • Pop Shop - inconsistent apps showing

    I recently installed Pop on another device, everything is fine except for Pop Shop which seems to be missing apps that I already have installed through there on my main desktop.

    I checked that I hadn't accidentally deleted/messed with the sources and they all look fine. These are common apps like Librewolf, Joplin and Standard Notes.

    I know they can be installed through other methods like apt or appimage but am curious as to the possible reasons behind the discrepancy. What's more confusing is that I had a few attempts installing Pop (as recently as 10hrs ago) on this newer device and they appeared then!

    Tips for getting cheap(er) day tickets

    Given (I believe) there's no mechanism for locals to get cheaper tickets, does anyone have any tips for grabbing cheaper day tickets? Wouldn't mind catching a fair few acts on Friday and Sunday, just not for £200+!
