That last sentence. I admit, I thought they were serious. Now imagine how many people thought it was also the truth.

It’s the bitcoin bubble all over again.

That’s on AMD hardware, mind.

How is wayland on (older) intel CPUs/GPUs nowadays?

*sigh* reminds me of a former coworker who asked if Linux wasn’t illegal. I think many IT-illiterates (and that includes many politicians) still think about it that way. Something fishy. “How can we make sure it’s safe when it’s free and open?”

Yet in the end many of the commercial (and partly closed) solutions already contain a lot of FLOSS. But politicians aren’t interested in that, they need to placate “The Economy”.

Reality:

• Basic $2000
• Standard $2000
• Premium $2000

And if you’re lucky to have a union, they fight for raising that by $10, with employers pushing back for every cent.

During the hireing process they talked about green transformation, democratization, automation, stuff like that. Turns out they use these tools to squeeze truck drivers into working for as little money as possible.

I don’t work in IT, but this is so familiar.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang:

We’re basically holding the planet together

Good ol’ Muskrat:

Optimus will ultimately be better than the best human surgeon with a level of precision that is impossible — that is beyond human… People always talked about eliminating poverty, but actually Optimus will actually eliminate poverty.

Plus some “AI is perfect” bullshit from a few others who should know better. But they have to keep the bubble intact.

And they cite Vivaldi as their go-to browser. European, sure, but not open source and based on Chromium. I’m always skeptical of Vivaldi users; they seem to value nostalgia (remember Opera?) over facts.

That’s “I wrote my first shell script” type of bad. I remember Ubuntu+GNOME used to be full of such crap in their early days. There are still some helper scripts around from those days (the naughts), you can still catch a whiff of it.

If you have a suitable device, Sailfish OS is pretty much Okay, right out of the box. Well, you have to flash it first, but apart from that.

I still want to know what they library was doing.

Please don’t do a witch hunt - it was censored for a reason. Sorry I didn’t do it thoroughly enough.

I’m not. But if this post should evolve into one, that’s on you. Do the sensible thing and remove it.

It’s been 2016 for 10 years now.

I have no idea who that is - your alt?

Downvoting is valid. You saying it equals hate says more about you than about the downvoters.

edit: hm, apparently this is about the user doing the downvoting, not being downvoted? Still, this is badly anonymized, and that’s my main point.

Me, right now. Every year. I blame Xmas madness and darkness and cold.
