New machines can’t count the 'r’s in “strawberry”.

No, they can! They just first need to have a system prompt instructing them to generate and run a python script to do it.

And yet, it’s us meatbags being called inefficient.

The only thing worse than no security is a false sense of security. It’s better for someone to know they’re using an untrustworthy device than to find out the hard way.

If other phones can’t provide an acceptable baseline level of security, the GrapheneOS devs are correct to not support them. Yes, it sucks that the only phones supported are Google Pixels. They have a partnership with Motorola to create a non-Google alternative.

If you still don’t like it, fork it.

That’s a good way to cook a laptop.

Embrace it. Teach these people how to use data URIs to “embed images into the HTML file”, then laugh when they burn even more tokens.

The compute part of Nvidia’s proprietary driver stack is fine. That is what they historically have been putting their resources and effort towards, since their big customers only care about compute.

The graphics part of the stack is where the problems are.

• Up until Wayland, they were bypassing the kernel’s standard GPU initialization path and using their X server implementation to do everything instead.
• As far as gaming goes, is is unable to utilize the graphics hardware as efficiently as on Windows. More time is spent stalling/blocking, as evidenced by lower power draw and performance.
• Their QA is awful. There was an issue with GTK 4 apps freezing when closed. They fixed it, and then the next driver release reintroduced it.

Their transparency and community involvement outside of the kernel mailing lists is also pretty poor. They read peoples’ bugs reports and feature requests on their forums, but they rarely acknowledge them or give status updates.

The Dunning-Cougar effect. I know this one and I’m never wrong.

What ethical standards? Google removed those from their code of conduct years ago.

Being baited into spending time replying to social media posts questioning the value of your time… you sure showed them, buddy.

Wow

Yes.

Used used, or just used? File caches and memory-mapped files are technically “used” but are basically free since they can be evicted if that memory is needed elsewhere.

The nix-env tool is part of Nix (the package manager; not NixOS, which is an OS based around Nix). You need to install Nix to use the tool.

Broken in the upstream kernel, yes. The Valve-built kernel for SteamOS has a bunch of downstream patches.

For a worse product than you can get for free.

Outside of tech circles, the majority of people with PCs are not even aware that they are paying for Windows. Pre-built desktops have the cost of the license factored into the sale price. The average consumer just thinks they are buying “a computer” as though it is a single, cohesive unit.

If the rest of staff doesn’t get overtime pay, crunch is also a way to keep costs down.

Why would they buy property they aren’t going to use? If their rockets did break people’s windows, it would be cheaper for them to settle a lawsuit for the repair costs.

I wonder what the value of an ad nauseum user is…

SB26-090 was introduced during a Colorado Senate hearing on April 2 and was supported by lobbying efforts from companies such as Cisco and IBM.

That checks out.

And even with the overhead of translating DirectX and Windows API calls.

It works about the same as any other non-NixOS system running a user install of Nix.

nix-env -i neovim

You could also choose to enable and use more advanced features like flakes, but I would suggest not doing that unless you want to dive into the Nix ecosystem.
