If the Dems aren’t running on abolishing ICE and completely dismantling the police state, now, they’re setting up to throw the 2028 election.

It’s Wednesday my dude

Oh yeah?

I just live out of my downloads folder until its time to back up the important stuff to the server and reinstall/ distrohop.

Try putting only one stick of ram in at a time

I mean I pretty much browse new and see almost everything. Do you have any specific examples?

Nope. Any examples?

People who have been holding off on building a new systems due to part prices since 2020

Its more about being on the edge of hardware. The kernel is still being updated to support my chip. What wrapper goes around that kernel is secondary. What fedora allows is for me to stay up to date as relevant kernel patches come through.

piss

Yeah I’m paying attention to some arch builds for my machine. I’ve gone deep enough that I’m literally following the https://lkml.org/ to see how support for my machine and the chipset is going. Its why I’m prob going back to fedora after this, so I can stay on the latest kernel.

Hmm. Well I was on a tear of trying new operating systems trying to get a bit of bleeding edge kit working. I was about to be traveling and I needed it to just work. Bazzite had a release specific to my model… and it all seemed hunky dory, until it wasn’t and I couldn’t get in and wrench. I think in that week I probably went through 20+ different ISO’s and install scripts trying to get to an install that would let me use the GPU acceleration I paid for. Tried fedora, bazzite (and bazzite did work, but I had issues with the wifi/ blue tooth driver, but I had to do containers/ sandboxes to actually use RoCM), ubuntu, others.

I ended up on Ubuntu for this machine because at least I can wrench on things, and I wasn’t prepared to take the Arch jump off the diving board (at least not on a new machine before traveling). And its been “fine”.

But I genuinely do no like the Ubuntu experience. Once I can slick this machine (when I’m done with my current project), I’m going to go to Fedora because that should allow me to stay with the most up to date kernel.

Yeah I tried Bazzite. Idk if its because I’m already in club tuxedo, but the whole immutability thing did not work for me when it didn’t work with my hardware out the gate.

But if it had, wow, what a slick experience.

💀 🗿

Food was killer when I was there.

I should do a kickstarter for a wifi connected butt plug that starts vibrating anytime a major AI providers system goes offline.

Yeah I got through 3 minutes of it. This would be great at an 8th grade recital.

Half is about right

I’m trying to learn more about EU politics, and when something like this won’t die after being beat down several times, in the US it’s almost always some industry lobbying organization.

And a problem we have globally, is that there isn’t an organized counter movement in the opposite direction (that privacy is a human right, that this isn’t a path to security, that states need to be restrained and restricted in their tendencies towards authoritarianism).

Without that countermovement, it’s almost inevitable something like this will pass as the lobbying organization can long outlive the current generation of activists or politicians who see the problems with something like chat control.

Thank you.

But what groups are advocating for this? There is clearly a significant campaign behind this. It doesn’t seem at all grassroots.
