31·1 day agoYou do have to consider that Intel has a head start of multiple decades, should’ve had a war-chest the size of a nation (like Nintendo), and has a nigh monopoly position in the CPU market. Intel also has preferential treatment in the US (similar to Microsoft), so it’s not it isn’t already being funded by the US government.
You don’t catch up on decades of research just by pumping in money. That’s like trying to have a baby faster by having more women.
Trying to pretend Intel is the underdog in this scenario is not credible. Despite - or maybe exactly due to, their head start, pseudo-leaders who thought they could survive any boneheaded decision are giving that lead away. And yet again, tax payer money may have to be used to correct the decisions of a private company (yes publicly traded but the government doesn’t own Intel). Privatise profits, nationalise debt. Works every time!
Fan-made, for free, no opensource 🤨 I feel like there’s going to be a “surprise” in the near future.
Oh, so if China helps out their companies, it’s meddling but if the US government fucking bails out a company that should go bankrupt because of dreadful and shit management, it’s a necessary step to secure national interests. So much for “the free market will regulate itself”.
Hypocrites.

Bad title. It should be that Asahi Linux Vulkan driver lands many fixes and features. Malus has no credit whatsoever in this regard. They didn’t contribute zilch.
Maven and Cradle might be terrible, but C and C++ have fucking nothing in terms of dependency management. Even C# has something that few people use, but it has something. C and C++ are such a shit show to build. It’s so bad they had to invent languages to build them and they regularly fuck up (CMake, make, bison, scons, meson, …).
Pull a C or C++ project on a distro or environment and try to build it and you have to dive in the abyss of undeclared dependencies. And good fucking luck with glibc and glib dependencies. If the dev doesn’t know which version they were actually using, it’s up to you to find out. Fun for the entire family!
Aren’t most of those due to Brazilians? 3M or so?
ATM? Active … Monthly? Can’t make out what it stands for…
Misskey? 🤔 I heard it’s something Japanese? So probably a lot of Japanese fediverse users use it? I don’t think I’ve seen somebody from misskey in my interactions with the fediverse. Are they self-contained or something?
374·1 month agoDecisions like these are why they can’t move away from proprietary platforms. How much does it really cost to host and maintain this? A single employee could host a mastodon, peertube, and lemmy instance. The employee could also work full-time on one of the projects to address issues.
They also only had 6 accounts on the instance - out of how many politicians and bureaus?
Anyway… shame.
Can’t imagine there is any. You need to learn three scripts to read Japanese fluently IINM. Katagana, Hirigana and something else… Probably someone who speaks Japanese can say.
I know you mean well, but you don’t provide solutions of any kind. Simply saying the equivalent of “we should be better to fellow humans” isn’t going to change the world. It’s a platitude.
How do you propose we help the people currently suffering? We just let them suffer until society figures out how to help them? Unite arms and block suicide machines because “they are an easy way out and we should be helping them instead”? Sure, you’re absolutely right, we should be helping them all now, but that’s not how change works. It’s not immediate. While we figure this stuff out, a bunch of people are going to suffer and die painfully.
Also, even if the cynical ending is “the government promotes suicide to get rid of the weak”, I’d argue it’s better than suffering until death.
Maybe the driver should have compilation flags per supported GPU. No need to load a bunch of that isn’t even relevant. Also, now large in bytes is that damn think if it take 10 seconds to load? 🫠
If an Arch linux user hasn’t told anybody they use it, are they really using it?
All they care about it pools of money. Only when somebody finds out about the malware do they actually do something - not to protect users but because of bad press. Then the news cycle is over and things die down for the money-printing machine to continue.
The hate is towards the community members that spam “arch btw” and telling new users to install arch.
Lemmy should have the option to defederate from instances depending on automated criteria. Sign ups without admin checks are a great attribute to use for defederation, because it leads to such abuse. I’ve finally blocked most communities and instances that have news about US politics and have a clean feed, but for newcomers, that shit is everywhere.
I know what Eternal September is, but how have mobile phones “ruined” the internet? I’d attribute whatever ruin is observed to financial greed not mobile phones.
Again, how have mobile phones specifically “ruined the internet”?
