They pretty much forgot what social platforms were, from the country of Meta and Facebook, which leads the entire internet to respond:

Damn, the incantation failed.

Time to bring out the billy goat.

Establishment politician… or despot… that’s a hard one /s

At that point, people were curious and decided to go deeper into the engine. Low and behold, it’s a game engine, based entirely on telemetry technology.

I’m going to switch from BTRFS at some point, but at this point that’s going to be a few years down the line.

As a strong black woman, I’m kind of pissed that we lost all those talented female lyricists and R&B singers who got Thanos snapped out of existence in the late 90s because they didn’t want to sell sex. It makes me want to slap a bitch for calling it “empowerment”…

At least my inner black woman is angry af because of that.

The music industry is garbage, pure garbage. Sony and Universal execs have a special place in hell.

Damn, these rpm-ostree distroes are taking off. I mean tbf, having a “cloud native” approach (a two buzzword combo) with system images is kind of great for testing, and it shows people can now actually carve out some systems in a relatively effective manner. Good show!

That is supposing it is rpm-ostree, because ostree can actually rebase to an entire different distribution. There’s people getting arch working as an ostree install, and eventually, we’ll have gone over to a new dawn, where you don’t need to reinstall, just rebase.

Goddamn open source is awesome.

Friggin’ GIMP 2 is sun setting. GIMP 3 with everything replaced in GEGL and non-distructive editing is the new standard. Who tf needs Photoshop?

Thanks Microsoft for spotting that, and thanks to Google and CloudFlare for blocking or redirecting Polifyll.io network traffic.

Credit where credit is due.

Namaste.

This is what corporate speech control looks like, kids. Not even once.

TL;Dr licensed firmware is garbo - open firmware ftw

This - is what we need.

The only ones who can really push the envelope on getting RISC-V into the hands of consumer, and indeed up to an IPC comparable to ARM, are companies like Deep Computing and Si-Five.

The biggest problem in the computing world, bar none, are not the predatory companies, vendor lockins, or proprietary operating systems, it’s always been licensing. This is why BSD existed in the first place, because a $1000 a month per seat to copy a file without pulling and pushing bits around is a bit too much, even if it was the 70s.

Similarly, in a time of green washing, eWaste and even planned obsolescence, one of the things that help to underpin all of these afformentioned evils is secret sauce firmware.

No matter what you say, if you don’t have access to the source code for firmware and bootloaders, you’ve got a lifetime set by the vendor based on how long they can actually support the hardware - because employees cost money. You can’t realistically expect a company to support something they’re not making money on anymore, and they’d most likely just want to sell you new hardware.

This is where RISC-V comes in swinging. I’m not saying that all RISC-V hardware will come with open firmware, but the ball is rolling and with it we can finally bridge the gap spanned by tech companies, where the average Jane or Joe can in effect easily modify their firmware code, albeit through security principles of course.

Unlike Open Source, Open Firmware is a bit trickier. Decades of industrial precedent, and indeed vendor lockins the OEM’s are beholden to, like proprietary BIOS, makes it that much harder to establish - especially when designing an entire ISA and getting it to prefab is a Lord of the Rings length journey. There is no griffin shortcut.

No doubt I’ll have naysayers. Just mentioning open firmware in the average matrix chat riles the gallery, as is the style, but even the likes of NVIDIA are opening up their code (thanks, AI) to the point where NVK is not that far from stable, untainting your kernel. Yay.

Everybody ♥️ open source, don’t they? But how about giving some love to Open Firmware? In the FUTURE 🐙 we’ll hopefully have vendors and foreign interests shoved tf out of our hardware, and good riddance, because they shouldn’t be in control of it in the first place.

I await your ire.

And shout outs to the libreboot maintainer. What in the ever loving Carmack is FSF up to? Libre ain’t a brand, it’s a philosophy.

The sponsor of this war is VODKA! Here in Russia, we feed it to babies, to make new orcs!

Moving me tf away from the part of town I was being raised in… or, alternatively: not having a distant father. You can’t teach a boy what they need over just one weekend. FFS.

Today is yesterday’s tomorrow…

No no no no. See, the anti-immigration industry works within new public management, meaning those contracts are already sold to our friends… I mean given to the lowest bidder., whithin the standards we decided upon of course - which are very high, expensive standards. All of this chalks up to consultancy fees, renting fees, transaction fees, headlight fluid fees, and of course marketing. I mean think of those poor people in the marketing department, how much cocaine- I mean problems they have to deal with.

Surely you understand, that letting local enforcement and courts deal with the matter prevents us from actively exploiting- I mean processing immigration. We also have lots of help from various farmers around the country, who’ve had immigrants working on a bimonthly pay. Good that we caught that the second month in. But since there is no contract or paperwork, guess the immigrants just took up residence on that farm. For shame.

I’ll tell you what, if we build roads to the farms and some other roads back to the borders, we’d make an effective process out of it. Whoop whoop! Free labour! WHY DOESNT ANYONE WANT TO WORK ANYMORE?!?!?

Damned avocado toast… why, if it weren’t for all these hard working immigrants…

Laugh all you want, but you know Microsoft will make a TUI version of VSCode and Copilot+ will be implemented into BASH.

…are you okay?
