Even if it was open source (it isn’t, because no model is really open source ultimately) and even if it let you review what it says it’s gonna do, AI is known for pulling all kinds of shit and lie about it.
Would you really trust your system to something that can do this? I wouldn’t…
I look forward to not installing it.
No: the waiting time is more like 9 months and fully-loaded, you’re looking at north of €1,800 :)
The point of MNT machines isn’t value for money, but openness and sovereignty over what you own. They’re not for everybody, but my kids are out of the house, the house is paid for and so I have the means to put my money where my convictions are.
But no matter: the point was that Linux ARM laptops really are nothing new.
“Pave the way for ARM64 laptops?”
I have an ARM64 laptop as my daily driver right here on my desk and it’s happily running Debian 13. The road is quite paved already.
I run CalyxOS on my Fairphone4 and have zero issues.
Same old broken record as with previous Fairphones.
Their holier-than-thou attitude towards security backed them into the corner of being virtually unable to run GrapheneOS on any platform other than Google’s own Pixel phones, and now Google is pulling the rug from under them.
The GrapheneOS people were tedious when Micay was there, and they haven’t really changed.
It’s different this time around.
The previous attempts were about freeing themselves from an abusive unprincipled data-hungry big data monopoly,
This attempt is about freeing themselves from an abusive unprincipled data-hungry big data monopoly operating in a fascist country and in cahoots with the regime.
I reckon it’s serious this time.
poettering is an absolute good guy here
Agreed. But he’s also an abrasive know-it-all. A modicum of social skills and respect goes a long way towards making others accept your pet projects.
pulesaudio protocol is used within pipewire and it works just fine.
I wasn’t talking about the protocol, I was talking about the implementation: PulseAudio is a crashy, unstable POS. I can’t count the number of hours this turd made me waste, until PipeWire came along.
I totally agree. I used to hate systemd for breaking the traditional Unix philosophy, but the reality is that a tight init and service-tracking integration tool really was required. I work with and appreciate systemd every day now. It certainly didn’t make things simplier and easier to debug, but it goes a long way towards making a Linux system predictable and consistent.
Poettering can go fuck himself though - and for PulseAudio too. I suspect half of the hate systemd attracted over the years was really because of this idiot.
That’s what happens when you run an OS that forces updates on you. Remember when you could disable them?
The solution is called Linux. Fuck Microsoft.
Bullshit. A complex API that is architectured logically can be understood easily by human professionals but easily confuses an AI. I know because ours does exactly that, yet all our customers think it’s a neat API.
A great step towards unemployment!
Good to know!
Wacom now joins my long list of abusive tech companies I will never patronize again.
Some of the things you cite aren’t that clear-cut: water doesn’t wet Rain-X and bears sometimes shit in cities.
Did you read the article?
The church warned priests that they’d be punished if they denouce pedophiles to the police.
Who threatens anybody for denouncing pedos to the police? Other pedos, and pedo-friendly organizations, that’s who. And the Vatican is known for having been a safe haven for pedos for decades, if not centuries.
So yeah, the Catholic church would love to make you think they’re not pedo enablers no more. But you can’t make a racehorse with a donkey. They just can’t help themselves.
Well well, what a surprise… Just when you thought the Catholic church might be turning into a halfway decent organization with some principles, they go right back to their old ways.
Youtuber Johnny-come-lately gets way too much attention.
Silver lining: he didn’t have a skiing accident, so he didn’t end up costing the Norwegian taxpayer money to rescue him.
This is suspiciously specific 🙂
