Okay yeah that’s terrible

I’ve never used Arch, can you explain how it behaves?

Not what you asked, but anything that uses a single hyphen for longopts can just fuck off. I’m talking to you Terraform.

Lunduke is a right wing troll, don’t upvote this shit

If their progress on GPUs is anything to go by, it will take them at least a decade just to catch up to current DRAM state of the art. And it’s not like there was no incentive to build good GPUs for the last 10-15 years.

Of course they could get lucky, or could steal technologies to accelerate things, but I wouldn’t count on it happening quickly either way.

I had a 3080 mobile gpu in my last laptop and I wouldn’t touch Nvidia again. Having the gpu just work like it does with AMD is worth too much to me, even if I’m leaving behind more horsepower. The new strix halo 395 with its igpu seems like the killer Linux build to me now.

I ordered a 4tb SSD, received an SSD heatsink in the box.

It doesn’t all perform the same. The kernel itself is extremely configurable, and some distros tweak it for stability, others for performance. Others again largely just leave it alone. Some distros also apply their own or other third party patches to the kernel.

I’m not sure it’s worth engaging with the kind of person who uses SJW as a pejorative.

I feel that much like the article, you didn’t read more than six words of my comment.

Look again, it’s 48%.

Why did you modify their title? The article’s main chart shows that it’s literally “mostly” written by AI, 52% to 48%.

You’re just continuing the conflation by speaking about security functionality in terms of privacy.

You are conflating privacy and security. They’re not unrelated, but generally speaking while a dumphone may be less secure than a smartphone, it’s also certainly more private.

The accusation of projection is a little hypocritical, FYI.

It’s weird how you’re moving goalposts in an analogy you created that misrepresented the situation anyway.

As an engineer, yes. I managed to get a pilot program off the ground at my last company. As a recently public company with a lot of IT debt, the biggest challenge was around making those devices compliant with security and IT processes, and easy for IT to provision and monitor.

It helped that I made an effort to build good connections into IT and IT leadership. The clincher was a clear proposed timeline, a commitment that it would not require any additional workload from IT, and that we wouldn’t expand it without their sign off.

Unfortunately, layoffs meant I couldn’t roll it out beyond the initial group, and when a second round of layoffs came around I took the opportunity to leave. I haven’t been looking much yet, but “allows Linux” is one of the criteria I’m measuring companies against.

They can be waterproof but are also non functional until the water is fully cleared from the port.

Fuck off with the AI slop mascot.

Paul Biggar is a real one, one of the rare successful startup founders who is pushing back on the VC ecosystem as a dissenting voice against the genocide in Gaza.
