Yeah, I have a broader view of the phrase, which includes complacency (not actively working at alternatives) as well as just voting, seems most agree with you.

Valid point.

many people believe that “funding” something equals to “controlling” it.

Pretty much the definition of soft power, which an awful lot of politicians believe in.

US funding having been a toxic source of dependency, and it being better in the long run to get money elsewhere.

Yup, pretty much my intent, that and the insecurity it engenders, rather surprised by the reaction.

How could you read it that way ? I’m saying eventually they were going to conflict with the interests of the US (oligarchs and techbros) and lose funding. Shocker, it happened under cheeto.

Not a good thing, just an inevitable one, as they conflict with the interests of the US (oligarchs and techbros).

Oh No ! Leopards Ate My Face.

Better off in the long run.

I say go for the desktop for grunty work and pick up an older thinkpad for the mobile use case or just remote in with your macbook. I have a T580 (last of the dual batteries, infinite battery life baby), works an absolute treat on linux and next best build quality to a macbook but with a repair manual and massive upgradeability.

Don’t sleep on switching to nvme.

You’ll be wanting sudo ostree admin pin 1 seeing as 0 was broken. Double check with rpm-ostree status.

Proceed to rpm-ostree update, if that does nothing it means 0 is up to date, personally I’d just wait for a new update using the working deployment, but you can blow away 0 and get it again if you’re keen.

You know hyo cares about whatevever inc? no-one, so yep

firefox I guess actually has enough funding

leverage inc should, make it happen…

I’m on bazzite with a GTX980, and it’s been working flawlessly, so it’s not age. I assume you did

Thanks, got a new term today.

Yup, call the virtue signalling bitches out, open weights is fine, which is not to say I don’t appreciate local LLMs being given out, even if it’s just for the free research on their models, but open source it is not.

Someone just removed many lifetimes of CO2 emissions with a couple of lines of code.

Shame that usage will just expand to fill the gap. Thanks late stage capitalism. Degrowth.

I like FreshRSS in a container, works great from a browser, and you can hit it from your phone on the loo…

Yeah, I was younger then, perhaps less disciplined, and as always, given enough work you can decompile or regenerate anything. Still, I contend, the nature of Perl, powerful as it was, lent itself to unmaintainable messes, and I’m not talking regex’s, which is why it has faded, no amount of get gud withstanding.

I upvoted you because I consider Perl write only (used to know it, now it inspires readable code as a high priority)
