Ok, that is awful, but part of me can’t help thinking “he knew too much”.

For gaming, I honestly agree. Things are better with Lutris but running programs in their native OS is always going to be a better experience. Still, I think it’s very cool that you can run any of that in Linux. Valve is making some awesome progress with that…

For projects, yes… most of the things I want to build don’t need to go fast, so the pi zero is amazing and so so small. If you are just talking little cheap computer to stash somewhere, then no. I do think it would be neat if someone made a SBC N100 in the “credit card” size.

I actually moved everything to docker containers at home… Not an apples to apples, but I don’t need so many full OSs it turns out.

At work we have a mix of things running right now to see. I don’t think we’ll land on ovirt or openstack. It seems like we’ll bite the cost bullet and move all the important services to amazon.

Xubuntu… It’s light weight and pretty much everything is kind of Debian or kind of redhat anyway…

The charm of rolling my own died off when I got old enough to buy better hardware if I wanted to go faster…

I’m shocked I tell you; simply shocked…

If it really bothers you, I think you could set up authentik (or some other idp) and point all your login needs at it… Though, it’s not going to make things easier for you, just the opposite. Probably a good learning experience though.

Investment… It’s a bit too simple to just say money, but investment wraps it up better. Chips may not be open source, but they are physically there to be taken apart and reproduced. That’s what a lot of those Chinese knockoff chips are (baring the ones where the designs are outright stolen). The only thing that stops you from doing the same thing as those bootleg fabs is being willing to soak time and resources into the project. It’s just a big project. Like a Bloomfield i7 (which is old and fairly large) has 731 million transistors in it…

It is. Though they clearly had to set up the bomb to save the donkey. Which is good I suppose, but man I have a hard time following that thought process.

Doh, replied to a repost bot. Stupid lemmy

Exactly right. Copyright is one of the only things that forces creatives to be paid for their work… It’s definitely not a perfect system, but feel free to improve it.

I’m with you! I did the same thing before a flight to Australia. Ate it before security thinking I’d get on the plane and fall asleep. Of course the flight was delayed and I was way higher than I meant to be so I sat in a chair staring at the gate for a couple hours so I didn’t miss the plane. It’s hard to get edibles right…

I miss 2008 Google

Yeah, I mean don’t like uefi, but this makes me want to…

Sounds like the blocks are sealed to stop decomposition… so I guess the bricks would rot if the seal is compromised? That wouldn’t be good for a building. And it would let the carbon out.

You know, I wonder if they are trying to sell the company? Reducing operating costs and short term revenue gains are pretty normal for companies that are looking to exit. Wouldn’t expect it from them but it’s starting to look like it. Microsoft maybe?

Painted brick is just sad :(

I’m on my phone, but it looks like the brick is entirely gone, not painted? If that’s the case, it may have been a facade with rot behind it. Happened to on of our neighbors. They ultimately decided to add their brick back, but it cost as much as your would think building the front of a brick house would cost…

That’s the guy ;)
