... Trump is a moron elected by a very vocal minority of idiots....

Yeah. I wish that were true. Trump was elected by a majority. And his current support numbers are still around 38%.

It turns out the number of idiots if really high. And the ones running the country and enforcing the 'laws' include a lot of 'em.

I would much rather go nearly anywhere in Europe.

The difficulties described are consequences of Apple’s proprietary platform design, not evidence that Linux or ARM are immature ecosystems. Conflating ISA compatibility with platform openness is a fundamental misunderstanding of how hardware enablement works.

“Linux doesn’t feel ready for ARM yet. Many apps aren’t compiled for ARM.”

This is the weakest argument in the article.

ARM Linux is widely deployed on:

Billions of Android devices (Linux kernel)
Most cloud hyperscalers (Graviton, Ampere)
Raspberry Pi ecosystem
Embedded and industrial systems
Major distros eg:
Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian have mature AArch64 support.

And today most open-source software compiles cleanly for ARM64.
Browsers, compilers, containers, dev tools are fully native.
Even Steam supports ARM via translation layers.

The real issue is x86-only proprietary binaries.

That’s not Linux-on-ARM immaturity.
That’s legacy x86 ecosystem inertia.

Even Apple solves this via Rosetta — a translation layer.
Linux uses FEX or box64 for similar purposes.

Translation instability platform immaturity.

I guess the source is MSN though ...

"We had sex in a chinese hotel" ......
Anti-China Propaganda - like chinese hotels are the only place this is happening ...
Like BBC has broadcast one iota of truth regarding the Epstien revelations that might shed more light on the actions of the royal nonce, ex prime ministers or
high ranking british pedophiles... Weird i think isnt it that they dont have any airtime for to tell the truth on the biggest trafficking / pedophile ring ever. Maybe thats because BBC is also an organisation that enabled and paid nonces
like
Rolf Harris ,
Billy Idol ,
Jimmy Saville,
Stuart Hall,
Huw Edwards,
Chris Denning,
Johnathan King,
Chris Langham
All bankrolled by the nations LEAST trusted nonce enabling broadcaster.

I smell a dead cat story, and the reason i do not watch , not fund british nonce-enabling broadcast television via the TV License.
I highly recommend people boycott it. In fact if you ARE paying and watching BBC programmes - why do you fund this - what does this say about you?

I, Steve Wozniak, did not participate in the theft of the BASIC. It was funny to me to see others enjoying doing this. I had never used BASIC myself, at that time, only the more-scientific languages like Fortran, Algol, and PL-1, and several assembly languages. I sniffed the air and sensed that you needed BASIC to sell computers into homes, because of the book 101 Games in BASIC. I loved games and saw games as the key. It was the [MS] BASIC that inspired me to write a BASIC interpreter for my 6502 processor, in order to have a more useful computer.

Exactly. There are times they, Big Pharma, fuck up, but on the whole, it's been pretty great.

The fact that everything reverts back to pre-ozempic fairly quick actually make me think it's ok. Nothing permanent looks like it's getting changed, good or bad.

Discipline has nothing to do with it. Some people's body's are just different. Willpower isn't the same, even the cravings aren't the same. I'm not going to come down on anyone anymore for losing to it. It's possible that the lucky who don't need it simply don't have the same cravings, so the willpower isn't needed. Maybe they do, maybe they don't. But we can't say. My willpower is good for 2 months, then the body stops listening. GLP-1s have let me push past that for a year. that is amazing to me. I know it's not me doing the heavy lifting, and that sits on my mind. But my heart, knees, body in general is feeling much much better.
