They consider women pets. They aren’t people to them.

I mean, it’s probably in their best interest to avoid us. We are a terrible country.

Are you aware of how much open source work comes from Russians? Russians != Russian govt.

The problem with consensus is you can fake it pretty easily with a bunch of bots.

Hey that literally just happened to me too.

Because Reddit killed forums and this is the closest thing we have left.

Honestly if someone tried flying a 747 into a US government building today, I think we would have a very different reaction than the last time they tried it.

My brother in law has a Chromebook with a mediatek chip that performs pretty well. It’s rather resource limited though so switching to full blown Linux might not work out all that well. And keeping it stock means you are using googles operating system, a western technology that probaby shouldn’t be trusted at this point.

ARM isnt very powerful outside Apple stuff, but it’s good enough for most users now. RISC-V is the future but its performance is terrible right now and the price is high. If you are planning for like 5 years ferom now, consider RISC-V. Otherwise, it’s x86 or ARM for most people.

The Orion O6 is coming out soon and promises some decent flexibility with ARM. Its not as great as Ampere’s offerings but its good enough for now and much cheaper.

mediatek chips are sometimes used in chromebooks. Look there.

rockchip based SBCs are powerful enough for general-purpose use. Some of the companies behind them are american like PINE64 but most arent. There’s a promising board called the orion o6 coming out of china but its still really young in its development and support lifecycle and its hard to source.

“I believe good things but don’t want to actually sacrifice anything or be responsible for any of my actions that my prevent good things from happening”

When testing for permissions, I still giggle over trying to execute “touch this” then being told “can’t touch this”

I use both of these systems daily. They have some issues but are just fine for me. Honestly, they are just opposite extremes and I respect that. They each chose a side.

Whereas windows makes me scream. It’s absolute horseshit that pretends to claim some middle ground that makes no one happy.

Manufacturers are contemplating how to win back control over the UI of their vehicles. They remain completely oblivious to why CarPlay succeeded in the first place.

I see this going further underground as fascism takes over. The corporate influence was bad enough before but with the Nazis in coming to power again, many of us are going to have to dive underground.

Imagine such absurdity. The Internet. The land of “forbidden knowledge.”
