Very good point.

You sound insecure about your own username. I pity you.

[โ€“] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 5 months ago

Nah. I've had this username for over 20 years. I'm good.

That's how appropriation works though, by forcing out the people who used it in its original context.

However, I think Marvel redesigned the Punisher's skull logo thing purely because of that. Those who use the old one are guaranteed to be asshole cop and trump supporters who completely missed the memo.

You know, I have to admit, in over 20 years I've never been harassed about my username in the context of nazis.

My username is probably older than you, based on this comment.

Mine is old enough to drink (21+ in USA)...

I made mine long before learning about the connection between "88" and the Nazis, and at this point, anyone who sees my username and immediately jumps to "nazi" is a certified moron.

I literally explained why it matters. SoC hardware varies too much, and they aren't standardized like PCs are. It's not as simple as you think. It should be, but in reality it's not.

The "PC" got its start as "IBM-compatible", which is what PCs that we know and love today are still based on. It's a standardized architecture, CPUs are all x86-based, and there are a lot of common drivers (HID devices like mouse & keyboard, generic gfx drivers that can run most GPUs at a basic level, etc).

ARM isn't standardized like PCs are. That's where the disconnect is. There are no "generic" drivers for things like modems, chipsets, graphics, etc. like there are on PCs. And there are literally thousands of ARM phones running all sorts of varying hardware that use proprietary driver from the manufacturer that may or may not ever be updated.

I can see 10-20GB/month for a single person being fairly reasonable if they steam music or something a lot while out and about.

Which a lot of people do. And videos. And play games.
