You definitely have a point here. Software has to be usable if it going to have wide adoption by the people. Sometimes I see recommendations being thrown around without even thinking of it fits the needs and/or user expertise and willingness to make something work. But to be clear, just because one piece of software does not fit your needs does not mean it has to be changed to fit your needs. But if it is complex, clunkly and/or unintuitive, it is only going to be usable by a niche. And if this is the case, stop telling your grandma to spin a matrix server or xmpp and do not tell her she is an idiot because she does not have the expertise or time to make it work.

I think the food analogy is a good one here. I have debated personally a lot about this false sense of choice, when in reality you are bombarded with every psychological tactic to keep you hooked. Instagram in this sense is no different. If it lawsuit leads to somewhere, I do not know, however at some point the whole manipulative algorithms should be addressed (but by who and when are the biggest questions)

Yes that sounds logical. Opnsense documentation I feel is good but for people that sort of know already what they need and want a full set of options. For someone who is somewhat clueless becomes less clear.

I will try to have some time on this. Hopefully I can come to answers eventually

CPU overhead is quite well known and actually damages a lot the arc cards’ position on the budget class

As usual with all of these companies: only believe when you see the changes

Does anyone has an easy way to put windows 98 sounds on Linux? I would love to have it for one day (and probably revert after, just enough to deal with nostalgia)

Either a weird flex or humble brag that he can afford all of those

If my phone would feel this soft carpet texture when I type or swipe i would love it for sure

And where does the gold start goes into? Thats right, it goes into the square hole!

I believe right now there are discussions about it on Europe to adopt more FOSS projects. The biggest problems I see happening here is who effectively maintains this, as well who gives the money (and incentives) to keep the projects alive. As of now the German government does have a program for the incentives (do not recall if they do the people’s part). Hopefully it becomes more wide and clear how this will be going forward.

Also, I do not think it would be such a small win. If anything is very significant. If you can change at that stage the tools used, eventually propagates further into the working force at some point.

This comment of the lady taking the picture really reminds me of the early Nazi era regime where people were hunting for undocumented Jews. This makes me incredibly sad to see history is repeating itself yet again.

You mean the arson connector? Shout out to dawid

I was in a very similar situation not too long ago, and my solution was also to just have a spare ssd, install windows on it, make the update and then go back. I tried to use a pe version of windows, as well a full blown windows on a USB. These solutions just didn’t work as expected, somehow the update would always fail. Windows on a proper ssd worked

It sounds strange, but in a way, pillows do give an abnormal spine curvature next to the head, which technically can cause problems.

I do know people that straight up decided not to use pillows because of neck pain and use the arm as a pillow instead.

First weeks were a bit horrendous but eventually got around it, and now, no more morning neck pain.

You do have a good point that at a certain point it is not possible to have assurances as in values. However, there are other assurances that can be even more important, such as, contractual ones. If they do not have the proper assurances at that level too up to a certain point, then everyone is highly blindsided on the c suite.

But my biggest point has to do with burning a massive bridge, the consumers, and take a dive into this nonsense.

You can always try second hand market if in your region is somewhat healthy. I am not entirely sure what is your use case, but for work related and studies I would advise to get a lenovo thinkpad of some kind. Durable machines overral and can be get for decent prices. Other enterprise level laptops also work

You are not wrong about the reallocation part. However, if you see the actions from micron (fuck you micron BTW), they are going all in and having a shit storm in PR on the consumer side. If they are taking these risks without proper assurances, then they are utterly deranged

For the dram unfortunately won’t be possible to use it in the consumer space, at least not in the current form. Hbm is really server stuff, and as is, you cannot repurpose it. As for the GPUs, maybe they can be used for the consumer space but I am not entirely sure the specs would be wise to use it at home, since they need some very serious cooling capabilities, as well electricity consumption. Biggest winners of this pop in my opinion would be anyone who need cheap server rack stuff.

So you have people to exchange messages with? Huh, such a novel concept

As long am4 and 12th gen survives on these dark times we got chances of getting through this
