Wasn’t there a Tom Scott video about this concept a while ago? I can’t find it atm but I’m sure I’ve seen this one already

It’s worth knowing as a fellow Surface owner that that is very nonstandard. My Surface Pro 6 (admittedly much newer) lasts days or weeks if I just slap the lid closed and leave it somewhere, I think you might be missing something in the linux-surface github.

To any non-surface owners reading this, it’s a Microsoft problem because the whole laptop is a custom Microsoft product and only has ACPI drivers on Windows, though, there is some open source support with a kernel patch that hasn’t cleared it’s way to mainline support

I’m not sure either, fork bombs are a thing you could probably do in JavaScript, but I don’t know of a thing called an Atomic Bomb in programming? I think if you put lots of atomic operations you’ve just reinvented single threaded programming but with more overhead

I hadn’t considered the proprietary nature of snaps when I decided I didn’t like them. I just figured out their startup activity was adding 5 seconds to a 10 second boot despite not having installed any snaps

Socialism is a system where individuals do not own corporations. A lot of the other posters here are emphasizing the state ownership aspect where the government owns everything. But really socialism is about collections of people owning things without an elitist class (like modern billionaires). Who those collections of people are that owns things is where the interpretation and ambiguity begins though.

Imagine if Microsoft instead of having a board of directors and being on a stock exchange, instead was owned and operated by it’s employees and selected the CEO of their company by an internal election process, where the workers could select leaders that they thought would best represent their interests in the company. That would be another example of socialism that can exist without government involvement at all. The collection of owners here is simply the employees of Microsoft.
