Song tone: What a load of bollocks…

Yah, I think of it as Trump’s own goal.

Environmental progress through massive incompetence, ego and fraud. Actually rather a nice capstone to Pax Americana.

You assume long term planning ? Haw haw. Line must go up this quarter!

Yup, and something of value (especially to free speech) is being lost. My hope is “The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it.” - John Gilmore, still applies when enough governments go at it.

Please.

Actually we’ve been heading there for quite a while, this just throws the geopolitical instability of fossil fuels into sharp relief. Damage is done. Nice own goal Trump.

Kate (the KDE GUI editor) is pretty light and surprisingly competent if you set it up right. It has diff capability including git diffing.

So, what you’re saying is this law will encourage setting up shop somewhere without reciprocal agreements, which will encourage countries to lapse said agreements, weakening US soft power yet more.

Sounds like a win.

Shame so many of the world’s governments have a hard on for de-anonymizing the internet though.

This is what happens when there are zero reliable reporters to call bullshit, CEOs make shit up and no-one checks their work. It’s just ‘Jensen Huang says’.

Shocker, cut China off from US designed (not manufactured) chips and they make their own (capitalist competition, remember that old thing), still coming up to speed, but soon, and I’d like some DDR5 (or 6) SamA you dick.

The only thing at play for these pricks is the ‘CUDA moat’ (and the lack of effort from AMD’s RocM, also, you wouldn’t believe how amenable that [ironically] is to LLM coding), and a few hardware tricks (it’s just compute, catch up will happen), but if there’s someone outside your duopoly that dog won’t continue to hunt. Bad thing when a vasty majority of US GDP is AI BS. Shame you’ve got an idiot rampaging through the world markets for a relative pittance (but actual fortune) from insider trading. Who would have thought that’d go badly long term.

Back to weapons for you, and your military doesn’t know how to make a cheap (anything) drone.

Eh, keymapping is magic (in the psychological empowerment meaning), whatever form, currently look to QMK (and ZMK). Control your environment.

Solipsism FTW.

The lost art of learning from other people’s mistakes (and/or history). Sigh.

Veg tanning is a thing too, growing in popularity and better for artisanal work.

Generally correct, but,

GrapheneOS and similar have poorer performance on phones

FWIW my gOS gets 40-50% more battery, likely due to lack of parasitic (see what I did there?) google services.

Hmm, as Ukraine shows, they’ll be mighty handy when the revolution comes ;}

We’re so damn lucky that LLMs are a dead end (diminishing returns on scaling even after years of hunting) and they just pivoted to the biggest Ponzi scheme ever, bad as that is (and the economic depression it will cause), it pales into insignificance compared with the damage these fucks would do with AGI (or goddess forbid ASI with the alignment they would try to give it).

I hear you, you makes sense, but that way lies the death of personal general computing, which would be a crying shame. You’ll have nothing and (won’t) like it a few years later, SaaS taking over powered by all those ‘AI’ datacentres. Peak phone could even have happened if RAM becomes prohibitive, instead they’re just windows on an all centralized, subscription web services. I see it as a pretty existential threat for my preferred way of life.

“Man will never be free until the last politician (mayhap capitalist) is hung with the entrails of the last lawyer.”

Just as vulnerable to traitors as signal.
