As a unitedstatesian engineer, reading stories about escaping the infuriating (and now, very obviously caustic and manipulative) US monopoly on tech infrastructure companies makes me want to move to the EU and help break the monopoly on that shit. There are other things that make me want to move too, but the opportunity to build some real alternatives that diminish US hegemony over… well, everything, is frankly more than a bit enticing.
x86: it’s easy peasy
arm: asahi is where you need to go, and the most recent chips are not really very well supported
As to the choice between gnome and KDE (desktop environments): Gnome is gonna have more of a ‘macOS’ vibe, while KDE is more of a ‘Windows’ vibe.
How did they squander being the name in autonomous vacuum devices…? It’s kinda baffling tbh.

Good post. Definitely worth the read. Essentially: “how to convince execs who think they know more than they do that something is not only a good idea, but also their good idea”
I used Rufus to make Linus boot USBs for AGES
Idk man, I can nuke an LLM model I deployed pretty easy, but it’s pretty hard to hold C-suite types accountable unless you’ve got a green hat.

The single hardest problem in computer science is naming things.

Ok well this deserves a closer look. Might slap this on a spare laptop and give it a test drive.
Because it’s pretty much all public knowledge. There’s nothing novel there. It’s very obviously a distraction and obfuscation tactic.
It’s a tactic commonly used as a defense strategy by corporate attorneys, especially when defending against private parties: you simply inundate the opposing side with reams of borderline irrelevant bullshit. Makes it substantially harder to find pertinent documents, and also serves to delay the discovery that maybe something important was left out.
No no - it’s not plagiarism; it’s standardization.
The appropriate response from constituents to the senator saying this is “get a real job you fucking asshole”
A damn sight more than “mildly” tbh
Fantastic insult, if I’m being honest. Also, yes.
I love that people are removing the solutions, but keeping the “holy shit you just saved me 2-3 full quarters of work”
I’m saying I want to make a difference by helping to break the hegemony the country I was born in has on the world. I dare say the only people who would call that a bad thing are specifically the sort of people I absolutely fucking detest in this place.
