  • I dunno. I'm from a country where it isn't common practice, so it doesn't really affect me, and I still find it's fucking weird, and see why people would wanna stop it.

    Like, sure, there's much, much greater injustices in the world, but that's true for lot's of injustices, and dealing with them sequentially sorted by impact isn't going to work very well.

  • You are policing, that was my point.

    Liking the concept of a small, utilitarian pick up doesn't make you right wing. Liking big pick ups might make you a bit misguided in my eyes, but still doesn't mean you can't be on the political left.

    I am vegan, and could very easily make arguments why you are unethical and aren't "properly" left wing if you aren't. I just don't think that it's productive, and that you can't nail down a person's whole world view over some general issue like this.

  • For me - not necessarily for concentrated viewing, but I can deal better with some boring tasks when I have something in the background that keeps my brain occupied, be it a podcast, a long video essay, or whatever else.

  • Ya know, Pick Up Trucks aren't inherently evil (though I'd argue many current designs are rather destructive in several ways), and there's, like, lefty farmers, contractors, non-city people, etc. I think policing what people are allowed to like will get us nowhere.

  • Elon Musk Reportedly Emerges As a Potential Intel Buyer, Involving Qualcomm & Global Foundries In This Blockbuster Deal

  • I mean, you probably heard of PowerPC. IBM kept working on that, is still working on it. They're at Power10 now, but that has some proprietary blobs, as opposed to POWER9.

    I'd say that it's mainly cool because it's an architecture with enough performance for modern stuff, that is completely open source. No proprietary BIOS, no Management Engine running unknown code. Also, pretty stable, supposedly.

    Only supported by Linux, some BSDs, and some proprietary IBM *nixes, if you wanna say you have a system that literally can't run Windows.

    If you want fun facts, the currently 9th most powerful supercomputer, Summit, runs on it, I guess.

    The hardware is too expensive for pretty much anyone to actually wanna use it, but oh well, what do you do.

    You can get yourself a workstation for about $10k here. https://www.raptorcs.com/content/TL2WK2/intro.html

  • What about POWER9? You can buy a complete workstation right now, with an open source CPU, Board, BIOS. It'll cost you an arm, a leg, and probably some more internal organs, but it is currently more functional than RISC-V.

  • Well, I use tumbleweed on both my laptop and my main machine. Mainly for coding, compiling, CAD, games. My drawing tablet (Huion) worked without extra setup. Always worked fine, no problems. Dunno what extra packages you needed, so I can't really say much about the problems you had.

    Edit: No wait, I did need some setup for the tablet. Worked without a hickup for the last 5 years, so I kinda forgot.

  • Look at the way Tesla collects and treats customer data, and the way Musk seems to unilaterally abuse his control over the companies he owns for personal reasons.

    Now think about the capabilities of the Intel Management Engine that pretty much every Intel CPU requires.

    Bad vibes, I say.

    For those feeling out of the loop, see here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Management_Engine

    Tldr - it's a little always on processor, running a Minix OS, with direct access to all board devices including the Ethernet Controller.

    AMD has something similar in form of their Platform Security Processor.

  • Huh. I use Kalpa for a media centre system, and microOS on my server. Never had any of those issues. The only thing I struggled a bit with as getting used to managing SELinux policies after only ever using AppArmour.

  • JA sounds like a Nazi group. "Patriotische Jugend" very much also sounds like a nazi group. Nice to see them stay on brand.

    I assume the JA is gonna go independent. Great. A new, well-funded group of far-right extremists is exactly what we need.

  • What are you surprised that people pay for, when there are free alternatives in existence?

    Jump

  • Depends. My mother's computer didn't have the hardware necessary to drive Win11, so I explained the options, and she said she'd try Linux.

    She's on Fedora Workstation on both her Desktop and Laptop now, both relatively standard HP Computers (the Desktop being very, very old, however).

    She can connect to her work server via Citrix and access the software she needs. She can take work calls via MicroSIP. She can edit documents locally with onlyoffice. She can do whatever else she needs in the browser. None of this needed any non-standard drivers or packages, except for MicroSIP, for which Wine needed to be installed, though it worked without any special configuration.

    So it can work perfectly well. Depending on the use case.
