they’ve never talked about him at all except in the aftermath of the shooting.

i never said he was destitute or self-taught. you need skills to be an os dev. the first few paragraphs there is what i based my post on.

yeah

i agree, but my assessment of most people is that they just say shit

most people outside the us have never heard any of kirk’s talking points. if you only know that he is a conservative debater and use your normal (non-us) definition of “conservative”, then “people should not die for their opinions” is not a controversial take. i’m not saying that’s what’s happened here but it’s the most likely situation considering klings history.

there’s no way for me to answer that

i’m not talking about american pundits.

the media here has never shown any kirk debate, and has only talked about him as a “american right-wing debater/influencer”. personally i was aware of him only as that too, and only saw how heinous his opinions actually were when i googled him after the event. and i, along with most other swedes, have a fairly high regard for our public broadcasting institutions, and since most american internal squabbles don’t influence us until they become external, we don’t really care to dig deeper. i did because i’m active here, but kling probably didn’t.

the guy is an ex-drug abuser. he started doing serenityos as therapy, and serenityos needed a browser. until you get to the modern stuff, it’s basically just a paint-by-numbers api implementation on top of his existing code base.

right, by saying “nobody deserves to die for their opinions”, which is what most tv pundits are saying.

so i’ve talked about that event at length before and i don’t have the time to dig up my old comments right now but the short version is

1. sweden has a weird history with gendered pronouns in that our english language higher education recommended using male pronouns up until very recently, and the language itself just recently got a gender-neutral one which still isn’t in general use.
2. the documentation was rewritten to use second-person pronouns (and a much friendlier tone) shortly after, sidestepping the entire discussion.

that sounds horrifying

i will continue to say that kling is just a pretty offline guy, and also very much unaware/uninterested in america. most people around me are saying the same things about the kirk shooting and i would not consider them even close to what americans would probably call “centrists”, but here is called “right-wingers”. people here had just never heard of him or any of his opinions before last week.

kilng strikes me as a man who has never had politics happen to him before he started working in open source, and he is being treated like he shares american values and american cultural knowledge just because he speaks english online.

i don’t agree with his stances at all, but it’s the norm where he and i live. “åsiktskorridoren” was a political punching bag for a reason.

it’s in the blog post

not really, unless you get like a mini pc. you usually don’t save much money at all on prebuilts. maybe look into refurbished or second-hand machines if your setup is very old?

what videos are those? flightgear looks like ass without mods so maybe it’s modded? also flightgear runs on a baked potato so i wouldn’t worry too much.

when it comes to building a machine, you’re unfortunately going to have to deal with rgb. the supply/demand situation has gotten us to the weird place where components with christmas lights on them cost less than those without.

they do record, so it will be quite obvious which person suddenly starts looking like a star in the footage.

no, there is no difference. at least if ubuntu studio has hooked apt up to discover; it’s usually mainly used for flatpaks.

but the problem isn’t “we can tell this photo is from a specific phone”, it’s “we can tell these two photos are from the same phone”.

…for every photo

“web3” and “ai” on the front page.

blockchains have some use cases. “web3” is not it.
