Yep both fluxer and stoat are electron unfortunately

Tbh as long as it’s taken them to not do anything of note, as well as ths lack of communication on their forums to people testing their stuff, I hope they are not the company to be the main Discord alternative.

I’d much prefer stoat or fluxer

How is arm better than x86

Yes there will still be big sell offs I recently got a 16GB n100 from someone selling a batch of around 100. You can set up eBay notifications for saved searches it is getting more competitive getting one for $60 is the absolute best case expect closer to $80+shipping.

You can also check alibaba if you can spend bit more and have some older ddr4 laying around. They have n100 mini PCs with expendable storage and ram and multiple Ethernet ports. you can normally find them if you get the versions that don’t come with any ddr4

Edit: make sure it’s listed as compatible with ddr4 not ddr5 there are a lot of ddr5 versions now

Yep, and unless you really need the pi form factor just get a small n100 mini PC at this point. They are pretty much better in every way and are x86 so there’s practically no limit to what you can run on them. I’ve seen n100 16gb mini PCs for as low as $60 on auction sites because some business will buy tons of them then sell them off for cheap when they upgrade.

Want something faster? Look into business small PCs they are about the size of the small ps2 and will have Intel i3s to i7s. I’d just recommend looking for one that is at least the 8th gen Intel if you care about power efficiency. If using eBay search for used auctions and use a bid sniper that uses the official api

It’s incredibly ironic that China used to have really really bad EVs so they let other brands (mostly Tesla at the time) enter their formerly closed markets to boost competition, low and behold, it worked so well the US has now blocked them because the US is afraid of competition.

It really depends on how many bugs their are. But I’d expect it in a couple of months at the most

It’s popular to a lot of the non Foss tech job devs that want to try Linux after mostly using macOS for Dev work. It comes with keybinds they are familiar woth has a pretty UI by default and is arch base. They probably work for companies that are also right wing so it’s something they don’t care about as much as people in alignment with the Foss ideology.

Compared to today’s mask off fascism in the states the guy behind Omarchy is pretty tame and probably less mask off evil than the people they work for

This this true but if Mozilla closed it doors tomorrow there would be enough support for a team to be built to maintain it. The market share is small compared to chrome but it’s still an enormous user base.

He explained they will be selling as a kit not a complete car. most states have a ‘kit car’ registration option for things like custom tube chassis cars. Would a dealership be able to sell them new and fully built? Almost certainly not.

I’m well aware of that. That’s why I said global left and not democrats. Global leftists meaning the generally left average for the globe. In my opinion most of the global left is out of touch with the US’s gun problem. Where do you see me saying Democrats?

I rember in the US police had an event where in an effort that has had some success getting guns off the street is they were paying $200 per gun you turned in, including ghost guns no questions asked. Some legend heard about the event and quickly made quite a few working guns out of 2"x4"s, metal plumbing pipe, and a nail. He only used basic tools like a drill and angle grinder from what I remember. The police had to pay him too, but I think they changed the rules after

One problem the left especially the global left outside the US has when they talk about gun control they flat out do not understand how things work when so many people want something as much as people want guns in the US. Also how hard it would be to actually change the constitution. They were not able to stop people smoking weed or drinking alcohol either. It’s going to have to be a major societal shift. I think there’s a good chance we will see that in the next 50 years.

I support gun control wherever it’s shown to actually work but a lot laws are being pushed by either someone with an alternative motive like the 3D printer laws, or have actually no clue and just want to put another law that sounds good to

The 3D printer laws are really a micro manufacturing and surveillance law that appears to be being pushed by a billionaire and a company in bed with palantir. It could kill open source 3d printers that are the only reason we have 3d printers in the first place. The guns people make with 3D printers require major components from actual guns that you can leagly buy because the parts are not considered a gun.

No doubt they will add that their competition especially the open source ai is dangerous. They have been lobbying against local open source ai for a while so it’s not a surprise

Yeah I do wonder what he used it was probably Claud but Kimi K2.7 Code is quite close and it has a slightly modified MIT license

I’d agree with that to an extent but it’s far far more the fault of the oligarchy that are doing things regardless if they are getting money from it or not. There’s a longer term push to monopolize compute in general and they have the chip making companies going along with it

I feel like there are more and more people with Ai delusion, business making decisions from ai “advice”. And the AI will fule people’s ego when they use an llm for “therapy” is honestly terrifying.

I am so glad my brain is developed and I don’t have to navigate all this world as a kid

If they do this I’m going to go VoIP only it’ll be a pain. It’s so absurd the oligarchy corpos are pushing for as many business to collect all the user ID photos they can. With all the data leaks that happen it’s only going to be a matter of time before stealing someones ID is as easy as stealing anyones ssn. Things will be less secure not more

Not until the ultra rich have enough ai robots to protect them from an uprising

\s

Exactly. Age control is obviously needed I am so glad I’m not a kid that has to navigate the social algorithms of our time.

That said this is obviously a law being pushed by the technofascist companies like meta and their goal is always more power, in this case more data. It’s crazy how many law makers just do what they are told. they are doing the same with trying to lock down 3Dprinters.

More local control in operating systems as well as parental controls in platforms like YouTube where they could have full control to turn off the algorithm, maybe even a browser api where you need admin to enable adult mode. But based on everything I’ve seem from companies like google and meta they don’t care in the slightest about the children as long as they make their bag

They are authoritarian left and even though Russia is not a leftist country they will refuse to say a single thing bad about Russia, China, and some will even say nothing is wrong with north Korea. If you search the instance for ‘Ukraine’ you will see them saying Russia is the good guy in the Ukrainian war. They will say things like authoritarianism doesn’t actually exist. I legitimately wonder how many posts are state sponsored lol. There are a lot of them on lemmy.ml as well
