There are a lot of places in the world that aren’t any better than what you’re talking about, and it’s a testament to how resilient the people who live there are.

There are also people fighting wars with astoundingly more gruesome weapons than we used to have. At least when someone killed you with a sword, they’d have to be there, watching you die. Now people kill like a video game, with a controller and a screen.

All animals have an amazing ability to just keep pushing through, even when the situation is dire. Some do it better than others, but humans have got to be near the top.

That man has more red flags than a flag football team.

It’ll be interesting to see how the media companies deny that this is an open admission of genocide.

You’re a hero.

Boy, it sure would be bad if the US population had voted a Russian stooge into the presidency for the next four years. Oh wait…

I think part of the problem is how awful an experience it is to read articles on most websites. I get that they need advertising revenue, but the giant ads plastered all over the articles make the experience of reading them simply awful.

Good lord. That website is unusable.

Right now, not very. Basically only open source software can run on it, and only if it’s either exceptionally portable or has been tweaked to compile for it.

In the future, hopefully this is usable for general computing, but right now it’s basically only usable for R&D or niche applications.

The path forward for RISC-V is getting it into more developers’ hands though, so having it available for really nice hardware like the Framework is awesome.

Well, kind of 3 companies.

Intel and AMD both have rights to x86_64, since they both held patents used by it. In 2021, AMD’s patents expired.

Then there’s ARM, which is solely owned by Arm Holdings.

But yes, it’s still very much a big problem, and I really hope RISC-V succeeds to solve that problem. Licensing core designs is a much better motive and business model than licensing an entire ISA.

Edit: oh wait, you said two architectures, not two companies. Never mind, you’re right. :)

I don’t think they should. Trump bluffed, fucking call him on it, hard.

Forget New Years Resolutions, how is the New Years Revolution coming along?

We’re way past the early warning signs.

Parker, usually. But Pilot is also good. Depends if I want a nice pen or a cheap pen. Kawecos are really nice, but I don’t currently own one.

I mean we already all believe they were at least in on it, so… not at all.

Counterpoint: Ninja Sex Party.

Greatest and best name ever.

I love that show. I just started rewatching it, after rewatching Coupling. Giving me all the nostalgia.

Based on Twitter’s success, I don’t think names matter much. If it were named something like CockAndBallTorture, sure, but Lemmy is fine.

I get Netflix for free but literally never use it. I think I’ll cancel it. Why even have it?

Yeah, probably, but this one doesn’t seem obviously fake. It could be, but it also could be real. I’ve never heard of this OS, so I’m assuming it’s not popular.
