“The org is extremely top-heavy”

Hans Reiser murdered his wife in 2006. That’s not a joke, or but it’s also a meme.

There was a two-generation long lithography issue that they had not been able to solve. You are grossly understating the technical scope of the problem, as well as the trust issues Intel themselves created with the way they handled the whole debacle.

I’m not ever going to buy a 13/14 gen Intel core unless it’s at absolute bargain basement prices. In a professional IT context, nobody in purchasing departments should be buying the impacted SKUs in the affected date range (and practically, that means “they won’t buy those SKUs, full stop”).

That’s… not an accurate characterization.

I would have voted for Sanders in a heartbeat. And a lot of other (Americans) on my instance would too. The disdain is more targeted and nuanced than that. A whole lot of us on sh.it just.works have a reasonably solid understanding of the difference between communism and authoritarian communism, and are also often geopolitical nerds to one degree or another. This often leads to us doing our best to combat what we see as bullshit disinformation and misrepresentation when and where we see it.

The vitriol we have towards tankies is specifically a result of:

• our dislike of the glorification of historical authoritarian leaders (Stalin; Mao)
• the intentional blurring of the line between communism (which, bluntly, many of us don’t actually have a problem with) and authoritarian communism
• the jingoistic support of modern authoritarian states that either call themselves “communist” despite not really being anything of the sort (China), or who have a historical lineage that runs through an (again, authoritarian) communist state (Russia)

When looked at that way, it’s a lot closer to modern Iron Front ideology (anti-monarchy; anti-fascist; anti-authoritarian communist).

The ML sabotage movement is picking up speed and I am absolutely here for it 💯

…it’s a paid subscription service that the base os nags you to upgrade to?

You can fix the always-on BT wirh a screwdriver, can’t you?

I thought LG and Sony and a few of the other big players still had the self respect to sell TVs that can just be… you know… TVs

What the hell sort of TV are you looking at that requires an online connection to use it as a simple display device?

That’s a serious question. I want to avoid whatever brand you’re talking about like the plague.

There’s a relatively recent game (GHPC) with absolutely bonkers voiceovers. It really jacks up the immersion.

Best-selling work of fiction amirite

It dildoes

GUNNER, HEAT, PC!

TRAVERSE LEFT!

_UP!

FIRE!

I dunno man. It sounds promising. Sounds like something one should goatse for one’s self.

Tbh I really want to get my hands on a snapdragon X laptop at some point just to play around with it. The energy efficiency alone makes me very curious.

I was under the impression that most of the issues around getting Linux to work on them was around driver support. As in: people are absolutely able to install an arbitrary OS, but the functionality is just super janky in most cases. Is that not accurate?

No you’re not getting what I’m saying.

Getting people with shitloads of money to recognize that portfolios are gonna fuckin TANK when the climate implodes is what’s going to move the needle at the end of the day. They don’t care about anything except ROI. If that becomes negative for anything related to stuff that’s environmentally harmful, that’s what will change the equation for them.

Oh man you’re giving me flashbacks to high school. Haven’t listened to AAF in ages

So as much as this community leans anti-capitalist (including myself), THIS is how the green transition is going to get traction: get the banks and investment firms to understand that the environment is going to repeatedly punch them in the dick if they don’t move away from environmentally catastrophic investments.

I’d be fascinated to know how they think they’re gonna get the gas from Russia to Hungary, because Ukraine has said point blank they’re turning off the taps in the next few months.
