Namaste.
Namaste.
This is what corporate speech control looks like, kids. Not even once.
Beware conservative governments. They pussyfoot with nationalists, fascists - and worst of all - lobbyists, the backstabbers of democracy.
Poor Russians get the front lines, rich Russians get a new vacation home… why did they get rid of the Tzar again?
Biden 2024 - wear an union around your belt
Damn… welcome to the Slavic region, I guess.
If there’s a consolation price, at least you’re not Roma - or as they’re so “warmly” called, “the gypsies”. They have snow 0% rights, especially in Romania, the country that has fucked the Roma people a thousand times over.
European racism is so fucking old world that it’s not even nazi. Nazism is relatively fresh and young. This is old European imperialism.
Uhhh pre-modern architecture is uhhh inherently uhhh socialist and is therefore uhhh classified as terrorists.
Neo-liberals, probably.
We’ve been trained to react to sales more or less, since before Steam… but what, am I not going to get that AAA game for $8 that was $70 3 years ago? I mean it sucks balls, because all good AAA games don’t go down in value - in fact, if we look at Elden Ring, GTA, RDR2, they increase in price over time.
If we had a piracy statistic, we’d probably see how much money publishers are losing at this strategy, and that the only way they can ever prevent piracy is by promoting authoritarian regimes that will take away your rights if there’s as much as an R2R file on your system.
So yeah, the gaming market is dumb by default. When publishers cry their salty tears about their intellectual property being pirated, my eyes roll back into my head.
You’re telling me a program you developed 8 years ago, that receives nominal updates, is still worth full asking price, even when the teams and the developers have moved on to other projects and you’re not actually putting that much money into it? Gtfo here. Oh no wait, that was rude. Let me rephrase.
Awwwwww :3 piwacy owie, UwU? Maybe adjust pwicing? No? No sympathy for you, because I don’t have sympathy for grifters.
…I get a “Forbidden” error on all those tags ^^; Apparently they are not publicly available.
BUT COOL! I’ll be giving Floorp a spin then :)
Been using some extensions to get this done.
Currently using Sidebar Tabs. I have gotten used to grouped tabs, which is something I don’t want to give up. I’ve mapped Ctrl+Space to open and close it, which is super satisfying.
I switched from Sideberry, which was cool since it is so configurable, and that it can store and recall entire lists of links. I think this is a nice alternative to bookmarks, because it gives you a sort of link manifest, that you can even export.
Mozilla’s attempt seems… lackluster in comparison, but it’s still under development. So eh. Thinking of going Librefox, Waterfox or even Floorp - though that would be like going ESR.
I’m wondering how much of that is just due to misinformation. You have to account for the widespread Zionist influence campaign that’s been going on for decades and that has cost millions.
From Zionists traveling abroad, to Zionists flying people in. A family member got flown in some years ago and ever since they’ve been a propaganda machine in them selves.
It doesn’t matter how many times I tell them that their talking points are factually wrong and framed in a manipulative way, because they themselves don’t understand it.
Brainwashing, when done right, sets it claws into the human brain something fierce. This is more apparent in some countries than others.
It’s funny how people weigh workplaces and companies that suck balls because the money is good… but also understandable that they go somewhere else when they can get a good pay and a workplace that doesn’t suck balls.
And then there’s the burning of the recruitment offices… no, wait, that was average Russians lol
Also, the ridiculous notion that they shouldn’t when they are obviously need to push Russians back into their own country and keep the line there.
US congressmen and the executive office should have nothing to do with military operations and decisions what so ever, because they are a bunch of slack jawed yokels.
Shout outs to the Iraq war. Gotta be one of my favourite useless power vacuums for petro companies.
My testicles, my lungs, the brain, my bone marrow…
Seriously, it’d be easier to list which parts of the body that don’t contain plastic.
The intrinsic arc of utter corruption culminates in economic turmoil and ultimately the art of scapegoating. As the English politician realises that all the foreign labourers have been chased off and that they can’t just prop the economy up on ill gotten gains from foreign lands, that they must ultimately direct the ire of the masses inward.
Are you per chance a secret Chinese spy? Who knows?! Perhaps you are one, especially if you’re a member of the opposition party! Seen any red flags lately, hmmmmmm?!? Perhaps you like to dabble in electronics, like a little bit of maths, do we??? Even in our own party??? Moderate?!? You mean… possible collaborator…
McCarthy should be proud. The world was changed forever, and even though it makes no sense, most likely it’s the socialists, libertarians and anarchists who will be blamed, along with black and brown people, the gypsy, the jew, muslims, hindus and even possibly christians, whoever fits the bill, as hungry and angry masses are directed towards a new common enemy.
It’s the release valve of the leading class, the dog the elites can blame for hot air, it’s the scapegoat.

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.
Wtf even is that boat… look at it… it’s like someone in post-apocalyptia managed to get an abandoned ship up and running.
Fucking Lemmy…
Don’t worry, I’ll fix. Re-read the edit.
Yes, yes. They’re all Nazis, and Putin will unnazi Ukraine, right? Because there is no ethno nationalism in Russia, whatsoever. But also, in Europe in general. So I guess Putin should invade and liberate the rest of Europe as well, right? He’s going to unnazi the world, correct?
Edit: /s for some of you. It should be blatantly obvious, at least it is to me, but maybe it’s just because I’m proficient in the language… somewhat. Anyhu, have a nice day, I hope Putin dies in his sleep tonight, byyyyeeee…
Edit 2: Or, isn’t it ironic? Don’t you think?
Thanks Microsoft for spotting that, and thanks to Google and CloudFlare for blocking or redirecting Polifyll.io network traffic.
