Hot take: you’re both right.

Right-wing spin machine had been after Hillary for years. It severely damaged her campaign.

Hillary had no appeal to 60% of the Dem base. It severely damaged her campaign.

AOC faces the same threat from the right-wing spin machine, but she has good policies to sell to the base.

Sexism and racism will factor in, of course, but the strongest opposing force is the billionaire news outlets.

Don’t use tariffs. Legalize jailbreaking and adversarial interop instead. Disregard American DRM.

Portal though?

Also: mobile games? Flash games? FarmVille left a helluva mark.

It’s no use! He’s such an incredible innovator, he’ll just be a billionaire again by next year!

If only this could’ve been avoided.

If only there were some sort of “due procedure” where facts could be presented as “evidently” in some sort of “room of law” and sort some of “evaluator person” could come up with a “deciding” on what to do with an accused person.

Speaking nonstop for 6 hours without using the bathroom, drinking water, sitting down, leaning on a podium, or even placing your hand on a solid surface isn’t my idea of easy.

Not really. There are barely any chips out there.

Oct 2021: 200 billion ARM chips

Nov 2023: 1 billion RISC-V chips, hoping to hit 16 billion by 2030

Nov 2024: 300 billion ARM chips

Fantastic post!

I just wanna emphasize that last part.

If you have persistent pain, and you’ve already checked the obvious stuff, you absolutely need to see a doctor. It’s not just about maximizing your fun. Chronic pelvic pain can indicate serious problems.

Cool, but… why not just NixOS?

"The ACI allows the European Union to suspend intellectual property rights, it allows some people to use software for free, for example licence fees on things like streaming services or software could be suspended," said Conall Mac Coille, Chief Economist at Bank of Ireland.

Fucking do it!

This is what Cory Doctorow has been telling Canada to do for months now.

Also worth noting: tech companies would not be “in the crossfire” — they are the primary fire.

On Democracy Now:

And if they do remove these laws, if we do allow domestic tech competitors all over the world to reverse engineer, modify and erode the high monopoly rents extracted by these American tech firms, we do something very effective in this trade war, because the only thing keeping the S&P 500 afloat are these tech monopolists. If you take the Big Tech stocks out of the S&P 500, you’ve got a stock market that has been in decline for a decade. And when you decompose their balance sheets and you see where they get all their money, it’s from price gouging on repairs, service, parts, consumables, software.

ARM support. Every SoC is a new horror.

Armbian does great work, but if you want another distro you’re gonna have to go on a lil adventure.
