Actually, it is not true from what I’ve learned. For example, Intel is about to push chipset/bios upgrades to boost the performance of the new Core Ultra 9 285k. And that kind of driver can at best be open source and in the upstream kernel or at worst closed source and only installed by some windows only bloatware.
Nice website! Thanks!
Having to use windows when upgrading firmware is very Linux unfriendly.
I can relate to this. And off the record (I know it’s not always a super appreciated opinion in the Fediverse): for this kind of problem I find that LLMs help a lot.
Thanks for sharing!
That kind of behavior can also be a sign that the documentation is hard to find or hard to comprehend. Or that something isn’t documented at all, but the seniors imagine it is, because the answer is obvious to them.
If someone actually wants help searching Lemmy or the Fediverse, I recommend this site: https://fedi-search.com/
Very simple, but it does the job. It’s also good if one wants to learn advanced Google queries.
Remember that most people don’t even know there is something called “rankings” or “indexer” in this context.
They both suck for sure. But it’s good to remind people of that Musk is a liar and a hypocrite. And it’s good that the oligarchs spend energy fighting each other instead of fighting the common man.
Actually I did. Not thanks to you though.
Probably good, but I want to stay away from anything related to Kubernetes. My experience is that it’s an overkill black hole of constant debugging. Unfortunately. Thanks though!
Looks good. Thanks!
It’s much more powerful though. Based on Org-Mode.
Seems pretty cool! I have to try it out. Thanks for sharing.
Mastodon simply is a different thing than X/Bluesky. It’s more like RSS/Blog/IRC. It will never go mainstream unless they add (opt out) algorithms and a better search functionality. But maybe that’s just not worth it. Mastodon has already lost to Bluesky when it comes to being an open mainstream Twitter replacement.
I’m curious about if it’s even technically possible to build something federated that feels like a Twitter replacement, using the ActivityPub protocol.
Not much. Except for less competent leadership short term. And probably more forks long term.
True!
I don’t think so. Probably not. It’s a classical argument when starting a war (Germany/WW1 and Japan/WW2), that’s why I brought it up.
I.e. if you believe there is a very high risk for war at SOME point, then you probably want to take control of the situation and start the war at a time and place of your choice. If you can destroy 90% of NKs ICMBs (or other kinds of carriers) today, it’s better to start the war now, if the new technology will bring that number down to say 50% by tomorrow.
The conspiracy theorist in me says that it’s not impossible that the recent coup attempt in SK was somehow related to this kind of thinking. This is how the military tend to reason after all.

Yeah, I’m only interested in the “least bad” here. Taking usability, libre and performance into account. I don’t think that even the Framework Laptop 13 RISC-V will be completely libre.
Thanks for input though!
