I don't fully grok it, but basically: x86 has ACPI and other mechanisms. They're abstraction layers that tell the OS kernel how to interact with low-level hardware without the kernel having to have specific files/support for every chipset and processor.

In ARM, there isn't that level of abstraction, which is why it feels like every ARM variant needs specific support built-in to the kernel for an OS to boot on them.

In ARM world, someone has to put in the work to define "device trees" for each individual SoC, and Qualcomm is saying they're going to do that for their chip on Linux.

I've messed with Linux and BSD since the 2000s. For years I prefered GNOME or Unity! But KDE today is really usable. The keybindings for controlling windows are fairly intuitive; pretty much everything you expect from the OS settings is accessible from the GUI, and the OS "just works". No glitches with the taskbar of note.

With Steam's Proton being what it is, any game that doesn't intentionally block Linux works on Linux. It really can replace Windows for common usage. I've been 100% Windows free for almost a year.

Went to a LAN party in the spring and people were surprised I was gaming on CachyOS.

They were sacked for looking at slack statuses. Stop carrying corporate water.

Fetterman said that, and I don't remember Obama saying that.

Trump and team want to destroy America, why would I root for that?

What makes those better than Moleskine, other than Moleskine being made in China?

I like Moleskine's paper and I like the cahier style without a binding. Lays flat easier. Not sure if Leuchtturm has that.

The DoJ *was* investigating them. And Realpage sued Berkeley in *federal* court. Bozo.

When you brought campfires into the discussion you lost me. Your last paragraph acknowledges that the EPA was instrumental in cleaning up horrible pollution, dumping and so on. But you seem to think innovation and improvements in technology and mitigation are impossible. I don't know why.

Above is a documentary of a terminally online right-winger.

You're fucked in the head if you actually think the democratic world sees Biden as a dictator.

I mean you're really fucked in the head.

You didn't grow up learning about the rule of law or what it means to be American.

Trump wants to make the executive branch a handout to political loyalists. To completely unravel the functionality of the US government. He has worked to delegitimize elections because he doesn't like it when he doesn't win. He and Fox News are already saying "if we don't win the election was rigged". I don't know how old you are, kiddo, but that shit isn't normal.

Trump and his cronies aren't going to make some lasting peace with countries out to get us. The fucker stole national secrets and hid them from the National Archives. Hardly rational behavior of a principled leader.

You're willing to vote for anti-democracy forces in this country because you don't like "DEI".

I'm sorry for you.

Implying not voting for Trump is harmful to the US.

Door labelled "Trump" is a glass door with a cliff on the other side of it. Half the country knows this, half the country doesn't care, and Putin is still working to convince people that's the door to walk through.

Run-on sentence

Yes, and it was possible to communicate with people across the world in 1700. It was a hell of a lot harder though.

It should be obvious that creating believable fake content is becoming easier by the month, that the quality of that fake content is approaching "undetectable " to the untrained eye, and that the quantity of fake content will put a strain on society as we struggle to fact check every single thing we hear or see.

No, this isn't the same as a kid mailing in a picture of Bigfoot to the local paper in 1987.

You're full of shit to to your eyeballs.

I don't support direct insults of foreign leaders, but trump has no issue with that. Unless it's Putin.

And look up *Helsinki Trump Putin" or "Trump NATO Russia do what we the hell they want".

Quit pretending to be naive, comrade.

That's fair. And in a proper multiparty system I would welcome shithead motherfuckers like RFK. Unfortunately, his bullshit charlatanism is not founded in reality, and his fake promises to free Snowden are like Sirens to Odysseus.

Off topic and stupid comment.
