Why not save time and do it the other way?

Install the minimal/netinstall image, and then add what you need.

You'll probably spend less time adding than trying to figure out what's installed that you do or don't need and trying to remove random packages without breaking anything.

Kudos for the unique delivery method, I guess?

(Also I do not like this sudden appearance of QR codes in daily life like for menus and shit for exactly this reason: just give me a URL if you must, or print something out and stop being cheap.)

Obama was the last Democrat to run on change in the system

And, even then, he enacted a shockingly small amount of actual change.

He had the majority long enough that he could have codified Roe V. Wade, and increased the minimum wage, and done UHC and all sorts of shit, but he wanted to policy wonk both-sides across the aisle cooperation shit, and well, ended up passing the Republican version of UHC and bailing out billionaires, which really doesn't exactly reflect hope and/or change.

I'm not saying he didn't have problems, or that he had an endless mandate, or that he did nothing, but mostly that the "best" democratic president in damn near 30 years who had the biggest mandate you're probably going to find in modern politics still did a shockingly little amount of anything to improve or harden the government against clear nutters - the Tea Party was showing up, so it was or should have been blindingly obvious where that was going to end up eventually going.

I don't buy the (R) "do nothing democrats" line, but boy, they certainly make it hard to refute that claim in any form that's not a 1000 word essay which is why it plays so very well on TV/news/Twitter.

I'm not sure I buy that: Trump is a cult, and his cultists are going to have an absolute riotous fit if someone tries to depose him.

Short of him dying or doing something you just can't ignore - like, say, he eats shit out of his diaper on national tv - he's not going anywhere.

Vance isn't smart enough to 6D chess his way into the presidency without his nominal constituency rioting over it, so I'm doubtful that's his play.

He's probably just going to pull the last-guy-in-the-room thing, since that's the only person Trump listens to or remembers anyway which means you keep the cultists happy AND you get the figurehead to do what you want anyways without the mess.

Yeah, it makes federation, especially if you run your own server and don't have a large user base, largely broken.

You'll end up getting a shockingly small amount of replies to people you follow's posts, which (for me) is the whole reason I'm here.

It almost forces you onto a larger server if you want a reasonable experience (or you have to start ingesting huge amounts of data via relays), but I mean, at that point why not just use bluesky instead?

For sure. It's nice that low-ish power CPUs with iGPUs went from 'roughly a box of melted crayons' to 'competitive with current-gen graphics' in what, like 2-3 years?

And, of course, there's no reason Nvidia couldn't make a 15w variant later either since it looks like both AMD and Intel have CPUs competitive in that space now, rather than it just being a one-off design like the Steam Deck's APU is.

Mastodon is, like, fine, but it has one gaping flaw that makes it utterly unusable for me.

Basically, the issue is you cannot be assured that any particular instance contains the entire conversation thread/replies, because they're not necessarily sent to every server participating in the conversation.

Bluesky fixes that by the 'firehose' feeds federating out to the PDSes and providing complete reply chains, which just flat out makes it a better experience since you can actually see what everyone is saying, not just what people on servers you might be following already are saying.

It's a giant stupid flaw in Mastodon (since other AP based platforms such as, for example, Lemmy don't have it) and really should be addressed since it makes the platform darn near useless since why am I following people to only get half of what might be a useful thread?

Because Trump voters are poorly educated, and frankly, stupid.

You heard something about eating cats and dogs, they heard someone telling them that Those people they don't like are doing horrible things, and he will make things even with Those people.

Literally a dog whistle, but you have to be a blithering moron to understand it, because anyone who isn't just hears a senile old dumbass saying stupid shit.

IDK it sounds like they're just plain non-competitive and should find something else to do with their time.

Perhaps make appliances that aren't 80% plastic, or insert-product-here that doesn't catch fire?

MediaTek will sell them better SOCs for the phones than they're using anyways, so win/win for everyone.

Well, the article is talking 65 and 80w, so uh, that's probably sadly not where these will end up.

There's a big gap between the 15w tdp on the steam deck and either of those numbers, especially in battery life (unless measuring battery life in minutes) and the fact that 80w in a steam deck would be less gaming console and more portable burn generator.

For laptops, though, yeah, that's looks pretty remarkable given that roughly equivalent laptops now use quite a lot more than 65w for that alleged performance.

You meant $695 right? Apple has an image to protect, you know.

(For the people mad at me: Mac pro wheels.)

While I'm mostly sure it parody, its gotten really hard to tell lately.
