Thats true, but that sadly won’t help against a state forcing a company to put these things into the silicon. Not saying they do rn, but its a real possibility.

I mean can’t they just audit a version that doesn’t have a backdoor/snoops. Verifying against silicon is probably very hard.

How do you want to verify a RISC core not doing something funny?

Hear me out. There is this amazing concept of not doing something you don’t like. Yeah most people don’t know this, but you can indeed just not play games you don’t like.

I see the appeal for the package manager for a lot of things, but space got so incredibly cheap and fast that duplication is way less of a deal than the effort to make stuff work the traditional way. But im not a real linux user. I don’t like tinkering, I want to download something and it works. And the amazing thing is we can have both. If people like spending time to package something be my guest.

The funniest interaction I had recently. I downloaded a program that isn’t in my package manager or had any sort of flatpack/appimage so I downloaded it as a deb and it didn’t run because of some dependency. So I could clone the git and build it from source which might have worked, but I was too lazy to. So I just downloaded the windows exe and ran it through wine, which worked flawlessly.

Still probably piled there to stop some kind of degradation.

But I like my applications years out of date and I think its good that every distro has to spend manhours on packaging it individually.

Im using a ultimate Bluetooth on my deck without issue. Its getting detected as a switch pro controller.

Also its 40 per hour per user

Maybe you should work on your reading comprehension the he in this sentence is directed at senal.

The funny thing is he moved the goalpost, but in the right direction. His argument was stricter on itself than required. It’s so funny when these people cry out fallacy, when in fact they are arguing using a fallacy.

I mean as long as they are in a wago connector and the earth wire has no chance to accidentally slip into one of the wagos there should be 0 risk. (Not a certified electrician, but a hobbyist)

Yeah there is also grievous bodily harm and manslaughter. Not saying I’m in favor of the deportation, but all 28 committed serious crimes.

I had a problem with a Intel HD4000 on arch.

What?

Because it’s a benchmark that tests how good your device is at Ai.

I don’t have unlimited time and I hate tinkering with my PC. So I just run stuff that’s easier to run in Linux on Linux and stuff that’s easier to run on Windows on Windows. I get that philosophy and for some people who don’t mind tinkering it’s fantastic, but it’s not for me and people need to get of their high horse and accept that.

You don’t know the circumstances of other people. Maybe there is something they need to do and it doesn’t work on Linux or they don’t want to spend time to work it out. Is Linux better for a lot of things? Absolutely. Is it better for all things?. No.

When I look at these patents all of them seem to be patenting others inventions from years ago. So I hope prior art wins.

Its something that happened. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_elephant
