What causes you to imagine that I do not work? Projection, like all the other maggot bullshit?

Once you have a workflow with multiple toolchains, you're on your way to porting to any number of architectures. And automated testing of architecture independence in a codebase becomes practical. That's certainly how it worked out at my company. Once we started building for Sparc and PowerPC, it made other architectures easier to add a decade later. And we had the additional complication that a big chunk of the codebase is drivers. Getting ARM systems with the right hardware into the test automation pool was a big non-technical challenge. What manager wants to sign the PO to pay for duplicating all the x86 configurations with ARM? ;-)

Replacing assembler with compiler intrinsics helped simplify porting SIMD code between architectures. But in some cases we will just have to add a bunch of tiny macros or functions in assembler in order to do something like RV32 vs RV64 in the future. Not a big deal for us when a customer is paying for the work.

I'd say all of those things, and probably some more I haven't thought of, but all of those are honestly things which leap to mind.

Yes, a person can choose not to participate in modern society and be at a disadvantage because they don't have the things everyone else has, or because they have to recreate them even more poorly.

I like Krita. That's a desktop app in the open source world that I think is really enjoyable and well-designed, and comparable to some of the best commercial Windows apps.

Plus the usual suspects are available on all the major OSes, including OpenBSD: Chrome, Firefox, Signal, Discord, Slack, Telegram, DOSbox, etc. But sadly no Wine or Proton on OBSD. Linux wins when it comes to playing Steam or wine, but if you're going to be running a bunch of closed source games on a machine then probably best to use a dedicated machine that doesn't contain anything important on it (other than your Steam library).

In a place with no laws, everything is legal.

You could order it from Japan and pay shipping, 15% tariff, and a ~$20 customs fee.

But they didn't replace it with more USB ports. My current (work) laptop is especially annoying with 4 USB-C ports. It wasn't too hard to swap my keyboard's cable with a usb-c to usb-c cable, but my wired mouse isn't the same. So I ended up getting a wireless with nano transceiver.

Why a wired keyboard? Because I'm literally less than 3 feet from my computer when I am using a keyboard. Why would I transmit my passwords, credit card, and bank account numbers over wireless?

"Bill Clinton at least got the family leave act passed."

He also signed the TCA which brought us the dominance of Fox and Sinclair. And also the welfare reform act that brought us the work requirement for SNAP. Fuck that fucking fuck.

Other companies do sell hardware with everything soldered, but they also sell hardware which is not like that, like apple USED to do. Claiming they are the same is nonsense.

We request crap. It's made in Asia and when it breaks we send it back to Asia. They take it because we pay them to take it.

It's people paying to move crap around all the way down.

if you have investments, which can then employ people, you're not hoarding money. Your money has been employed so that it can circulate and do work.

Great. Do that, on the same site only.

You are thinking in terms of a country with police and laws. That area is lawless. Unless you want to go there with a star badge and a six shooter, cutting service is all that can be done.

They don't plan to let us vote again*, so they don't care who they alienate.

* They could of course do scam elections like they do in Russia, to pacify dumbshits
