Still, there has been an encouraging revival of discussions about post-capitalist economies that embrace technological progress.
Sure, tech won't save us. But vivid pictures of what a world after capitalism could look like are the fuel that keep the spark alive. And these pictures cannot be created without those whose hearts and imagination are currently taken up by the hype around โAIโ.

The Official Music Video for Donโt Stand So Close To Me. Taken from The Police - Zenyatta Mondatta.
Lyrics:
Young teacher, the subject Of schoolgirl fantasy She wants him so badly Knows what she wants to be Inside her there's longing This girl's an open page Book marking, she's so close now This girl is half his age
Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me
Her friends are so jealous You know how bad girls get Sometimes it's not so easy To be the teacher's pet Temptation, frustration So bad it makes him cry Wet bus stop, she's waiting His car is warm and dry
Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me
Loose talk in the classroom To hurt they try and try Strong words in the staffroom The accusations fly It's no use, he sees her He starts to shake and cough Just like the old man in That book by Nabokov
Don't stand so close to me Please don't stand so close to me

I am going to buy a new graphics card and can't choose between Nvidia and AMD. I know that Nvidia has bad reputation in Linux community but how really it works? And I heard recently their drivers got better. What can you recommend?
P. S. I don't want any proprietary drivers (so I am talking about Nouveau or any other FOSS Nvidia driver if it exists)
Just not true anymore. Must have been years ago that you used Nvidia on Linux. As someone who has been using Nvidia GPUs under Linux (Manjaro KDE mostly), recently also under Wayland (since plasma 6), I can attest that the experience is very good, no "tons of small issues".
Still though, since OP wants no proprietary drivers, he has to go for AMD, since nouveau is dog shit.
Well, by delaying scrapping the two-child benefits cap, and thereby allowing Nigel Farage time to say that a Reform Govt. would scrap it, Keir Starmer has lost any chance of gaining a political advantage from ending the cap...
When (not if) he does end it, now Farage will be able to claim (however disingenuously) that this was an indication of ReformUK's ability to shift the dial on legislation in a positive way for British voters...
So a bit under 3 years ago, I made my infamous Wayland rant post that is likely the most read post on this blog by miles. I should really actually write about music again one of these days, but that's a topic for another time. The language was perhaps a bit inflammatory, but I felt the criticisms I made at the time were fair. It was primarily born out some frustrations I had with the entire ecosystem, and it was not like I was the only sole voice. There are other people out there you can find that encountered their own unique Wayland problems and wrote about it.
With that post, I probably cast myself as some anti-Wayland guy which is my own doing, but I promise you that is not the case. You can check my mpv commits, and it's businesses as usual. Lots of Wayland fixes, features, and all that good stuff. Quite some time has passed since then, and it is really overdue look at the situation again with all the new developments in mind. To be frank, my original post is very outdated and it is not fair to leave it up in its current state without acknowledging the work that has been done. So in comparison to 3 years ago, I have a much more positive outlook now.

As this project appears to be fairly unknown in the fediverse still, I'd like to use this opportunity to advertise Flohmarkt. This Fediverse equivalent of Facebook Marketplace already has some instances up and running - see here: codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarโฆ
It's not that bad. It's just German for flea market. And English speakers shouldn't have an issue with at least "Markt". Not far from a cognate.
Definitely better names but I think the bigger hurdle is getting the critical mass to get something like marketplace to work in the fediverse even with the perfect name.
I really wish Wayland was more fleshed out & stable before all of this happened. Color management isnโt even yet finalized & putting accurate colors on the screen is like the most important part.
Arcan is a cool idea but you mostly hear about it from people complaining that Wayland is not ready. Of course, Wayland is already used by more than half of Linux users and Arcan does not really exist yet.
Late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning, Ukrainian drones struck the Nizhny Novgorod oil refinery in Kstovo, in central Russia 520 miles from the front line in northern Ukraine.

Just looking at this post as an example, on lemmy.world show it has 29 comments, but when i open it, there are now only 3 or 4. I replied to one comment, the user i replied to got banned, and the whole comment tree is gone from lemmy.world. Other instances still show all comments, including those from the banned user and my reply. I think itโs very confusing when a single post appears with different comments on different instances, and have no idea how this works.

The developer behind Pixelfed, Loops, and Sup, open source alternatives to Instagram, TikTok, and WhatsApp, respectively, is now raising funds on Kickstarter to fuel the appsโ further development.
The trio is part of the growing open social web, also known as the fediverse, powered by the same ActivityPub protocol used by X alternative Mastodon. The latter saw increased signups and use after the company formerly known as Twitter sold to Elon Musk in October 2022 and during the X exodus that followed the U.S. presidential election.
In the months and years following that sale, open source and decentralized apps like Mastodon and Bluesky (which uses the newer AT Protocol), have continued to grow their user bases, as people sought alternatives to centralized social media apps controlled by billionaires like Musk and Metaโs Mark Zuckerberg.

I hate when people say that they'll only move when it has 100% support
People who say 'cant wait for steamOS to come out so that I can move to it' is also very similar
They never will try Linux, even if what they want comes true
They won't do it, whether they just fear change or think it'll break stuff or they can't bother
And I'm not going to lie, I don't hate them or debate with them for it, I just hate the bold lies they tell just to get with the crowd
"Fuck you Microsoft, I'm moving to Linux" says the individual that would never move if they haven't already
Frankly, I probably wouldn't move either if Windows didn't permanently break my ethernet and WiFi drivers, and reinstalling windows wasn't harder than installing Linux, fucking hell
Either way, these people kick up hype for a Linux that will be so much bigger but they never arrive
Maybe they will, due in fucking 2028 or something when they invent a really easy way to use built in Linux tools to move your files from NTFS to Linux and then when you launch steam you have a perfect library of Linux compatible games that are as good or better than windows
And don't lie, even now with 80% compatibility it feels more like 60%, whether because it depends on the system one runs or because the performance drops just make it not worth it...
At least don't lie that you'll move to Linux at a goal post that you'll just move whenever you get close, maybe say that you'll move to Linux when you finally get a new pc with a new disk or something?
It's a little strange that you think "I want feature parity with what's working for me (from my perspective)" is:
1) A lie. 2) Unreasonable to ask for.
The healthy responses would be "Well, I hope either support grows or your needs change, because of some philosophical reasons you might not care about... yet" or, if they're open to it "Oh, it can do this if you put a little work in, let me help you."
The unhealthy response is to accuse people of moving goalposts as if someone's tool of choice is a political debate. It can be, obviously, given FOSS philosophies, but honestly this kind of screed just drives people away.

In the competitive world of road and bridge construction, contractors are constantly seeking efficient and flexible equipment to meet the diverse demands of job sites. Among these machines, the mobile asphalt plant stands out as a powerful solution that combines portability with reliable asphalt production. However, with benefits also come challengesโparticularly in terms of operational complexity and configuration options.
This article explores the operating difficulty and configuration diversity of mobile asphalt plants(planta de asfalto movil), shedding light on how users can make informed decisions based on project needs and technical capabilities. Whether managing a large-scale infrastructure development or a smaller maintenance job, understanding these aspects is key to maximizing productivity and minimizing downtime.
Understanding the Operation of Mobile Asphalt Plants
Operator Skills and Training Requirements
Unlike stationary asphalt plants, mobile units require operators to have a broader range of skills. This is because tasks extend beyond simple operationโthey also include site setup, alignment of components, and system calibration. While modern mobile asphalt plants often feature automated controls, operators still need to:
Understand material flow dynamics
Manage burner and drum temperature settings
Monitor moisture content and aggregate proportions
Respond quickly to changes in mix design or site conditions
For new operators, these systems may seem overwhelming. However, with proper training and familiarization, the learning curve can be managed effectively. In fact, some small asphalt plant(planta de asfalto pequeรฑa) models are designed with simplified interfaces, making them ideal for less experienced crews or smaller projects.
Assembly and Commissioning Challenges
Even though mobile plants are designed for easy relocation, the setup process still demands technical precision. Components such as the drying drum, fuel system, and control cabin must be correctly installed to ensure safe and efficient operation. This complexity varies based on the plantโs design and capacity, and incorrect assembly can lead to costly errors or safety hazards.
Configuration Diversity of Mobile Asphalt Plants
Core Configurations and Customization Options
Mobile asphalt plants are available in several configurations, each suited to specific needs. The two primary configurations are:
Drum Mix Type: Continuous and ideal for high-volume production. Common in remote or large-scale highway projects.
Batch Mix Type: Allows for precise control of mix designs. Preferred when flexibility and customization of asphalt mixes are required.
Within these types, buyers can choose from various options:
Number and size of aggregate hoppers
Dust collection systems (wet scrubbers, baghouse filters)
Fuel type (diesel, natural gas, coal)
Bitumen heating systems
Storage silos and control automation levels
These choices directly affect cost, portability, and maintenance needs. For instance, a small asphalt plant with fewer hoppers and simplified controls may offer better cost-efficiency for short-term or low-volume projects, but might not be suitable for larger operations with strict quality demands.
Environmental and Regulatory Considerations
Another layer of complexity comes from compliance with local environmental regulations. Depending on the project location, emissions standards and noise control requirements may influence the choice of dust collection systems or insulation levels for fuel burners. Some modern asphalt plant(planta de asfalto) models include features that automatically adjust to environmental conditions, but these often come with higher investment costs.
Selecting the Right Mobile Asphalt Plant Based on Operational Needs
Key Factors to Consider
1. Project Duration and Volume Requirements: Short-term projects may benefit from compact, easy-to-deploy plants. Long-term contracts often justify investing in higher-capacity models with automation features.
2. Crew Experience Level: If the team has limited experience, selecting a model with simplified control systems or remote technical support can significantly reduce operational risk.
3. Mobility Demands: Projects that frequently change locations will benefit from highly mobile units with quick assembly mechanisms.
4. Budget Constraints: While it's tempting to choose the most advanced setup, an over-configured plant can increase operational difficulty and maintenance costs unnecessarily. In some cases, starting with a small asphalt plant and scaling up later is the wiser strategy.
Conclusion
The mobile asphalt plant is a cornerstone in modern road construction, offering unparalleled flexibility and responsiveness to diverse site conditions. However, this adaptability comes with its own set of operational and configuration challenges.
Understanding the intricacies of operating these machines, from setup and calibration to material management, is essential for maximizing efficiency. At the same time, navigating the wide array of configurations requires careful consideration of project goals, workforce skill levels, and long-term needs.
Whether you're investing in a full-capacity unit or starting with a small asphalt plant, making informed decisions based on both technical and strategic factors will ensure your asphalt production stays on trackโregardless of where the road leads.
