I’m an iPhone guy, but pixels are by far my favorite Android devices. Made with care, customizable, mostly crap-free.

Lazy-ass article anyone could have written months ago.

Egg-posting at its finest.

Don’t worry, you’ll figure it out.

Listen, Intel is fucked. It’s fucked right now, and getting bought out by someone else isn’t magically going to unfuck it. Saving the company is going to take money and effort.

We can also just let it go up in flames. No skin off my back.

Let’s start with what we’re not doing. We’re not handing out money to private investors in the old “socializing losses privatizing profits” bullshit we’ve been doing since the nineties.

So, if there’s a compelling national security reason to keep the company alive, we, the state buy it. Then we, the state, run it. We run it in a way that benefits our interests as owners and customers.

Maybe a few years down the line we can find a way to sell it (or our share in it) in a way that satisfies our national security requirements and makes us a load of money. This is not unheard of, see the acquisition and subsequent sale of ABN AMRO by the kingdom of the Netherlands.

Maybe split it up, write off some parts, sell some others, keep others.

Or we strip maybe it’s IP, and license it out to contractors to get the shit we need.

We can do whatever. We own it.

Lemmy is tribalistic by design, as is Mastodon. It’s the big problem with instance based federation.

You can actually host your own data now. There are still centralized parts, but they have been getting progressively fewer. ATproto is fundamentally a sane way to do stuff. Choosing to grow the network and the tech stack at the same time is an interesting decision, but it seems to be working.

Anyway, what keeps me on blue sky is not the tech, it’s the fact that it’s a thoroughly nice place to hang out. The nuclear block works wonders against jerks, and the focus on accessibility is very very nice.

Maybe so. But keep in mind that part of being a good officer is making sure you are not put in a position where you have to issue orders your men are not going to follow.

Do you feel lucky?

I feel your frustration man. There’s exactly one manufacturer that gets this mostly right, but it’s famously not FOSS and not super compatible/customizable.

I didn’t say it was a manufactured conspiracy. I said it was a manufactured controversy.

Yes, there is an inherent tension. Most voters have resolved this months ago.

Manufactured controversy. Everyone knows what’s up and has made up their mind months ago. One way or the other.

Why do all windows/Linux laptops have crappy power management?

This should not be your problem. The manufacturer should have handled this for you.

A bit, but not meaningfully so. And he’s off E s as far as I know.

The YouTube video is a thing of beauty though.

Intel is just a stock market listed disappointment at this point.

“Best CPU for LLM” is like “best city bus for racetrack driving”.

It’s great that it’s better than the other one, but there are better options out there than either of them.

That’s great, that’s what I was hoping for.

Don’t drive your grandparents to the polls.
