Rain has been knocking out connectivity. At least I got all my outdoorsy stuff done before it started.

@SuperDicq @fsf @newt I won’t belabor the point since I’m pretty sure you know where I stand on the issue. It’s all sad to see. Never meet your heroes.

@newt @fsf @SuperDicq He did his usual thing and said that “everyone ought to get it” in some video he recorded out of his house (apartment?). But never implied any use of force or coercion.

Still, I don’t take medical advice from programmers and neither should anyone else.

@fsf
Look’s like somebody drank the kool-aid anyway

The inconsistency of Richard Stallman

@fsf won’t touch this

@BigSkyRider

“Go and get mine/yours…”

What a dirty language trick they employed.

Oh it’s yours.

It’s out there.

Just waiting for you.

Just come pair up with your destiny.

@Suiseiseki @prisixia I’d say the functionality is probably already there. Only the industry knows they can’t push the gas peddle too hard or people will catch on before they can normalize it.

@prisixia They’ll only give you shit if you try and distribute it

@xianc78 @threalist @realcaseyrollins And the mentality has begun to infest traditional forums. I am one some where I often see users post a new threat that is literally just a hyperlink and some uncreative title. They think they’re using reddit or something.

@djsumdog @jeff @tchambers

The driving off of worthwhile people and the diversity of opinion they brought with them had already occurred back around 2014~2015. I can’t imagine what might have been left beyond that which wasn’t hugboxed and soypilled.

@AmericanChampion @Aether

I’ve talked to several very skilled CS/AI people in my lifetime, and they all agree that search engines died around 2018.

My experiences agree with this approximate timeframe. I think the last time I didn’t have to fight with a search query in order to get the results I was looking even predated then.

@piezoelectron

First off, is it a good idea to give them a Linux PC at all? Have others had good/bad experiences giving technophobes Linux?

Hi. I wrote a bit on the subject

tl;dr: Don’t do it unless they specifically approach you about it and appear outwardly excited over the idea.

@beardalaxy @xianc78 I’m really not sure it’s entirely about the money. There are interests involved which will push anything that contributes to slowing population growth.

@sallyNULL @SuperDicq @Relected

Fair enough. I can only count on one hand the number of programs that weren’t readily available through the ppc64le repos when I first bought.

@SuperDicq @Relected @sallyNULL

Not sure if that question was directed at me, in confusion.

I think, and I’m basing this off of the way I used to be years ago, it is rooted in people’s FOMO of gaming. It comes down to “But how am I going to run my games?!” But when you begin to go inward and examine that mentality it becomes hard to ignore that making such decisions based off of game availability ultimately puts one under the thumb of those who decide what to compile their games for and where to release them through.

Anyway, running a ppc system forces one to be very disciplined about what you decide to install and run. When the possibility of simply downloading a pre-compiled binary from somewhere on the web is no option, you find the answer is often to compile yourself (e.g. enforced open source 😎 ).

@Relected I don’t know how I managed, but somehow I’m actually down below where there’s no sunlight penetration into the water after the image cuts off

@sallyNULL @Relected

Ew, why would you do all that only to virtualize a mess of an ISA?

@SuperDicq

The single socket boards are cheaper and even though they aren’t “certified” yet by RYF, they are fully free (in fact, more so than the dual socket boards factoring for the SATA controller IIRC).

@shitpisscum @Hyperhidrosis I think it was the movement with discord that got intellectually impoverished normies to start calling everything “servers”.
