All is console, console is all.

If Valve makes ARM Linux work properly as a gaming/desktop OS, I will uhh hmm.

I will buy this thing.

I wonder if they’re still using Arch for the basis of this. Its ARM version is kinda not so great, although not terrible either.

Though I will agree that the average Chinese is ironically happier than the average American.

You would be wrong.

• China 5.97
• USA 6.73

Self-reporting happiness might not be 100% accurate obviously (Finland #1 lol) but it seems like the best guess we have.

China is not a socialist utopia. The average Chinese person still has a better quality of life then the average American, because China is a capitalist utopia.

I’ve been hearing this for 2 years. How’s Putin’s cancer doing, by the way?

I am a drug boat.

Some reason to believe they’re not drug boats?

1. I didn’t like Outer Wilds.

2. Canceled should be typed as canceled also in American English. Because the rule is that words with a stress at the end get a double consonant.

It doesn’t need to be fine to do. It just needs to be doable without consequences. Even if just 1% of men are shitty enough to do it, that will be enough for almost every woman to suffer from it.

It’s a shame people downvote this instead of replying.

I generally don’t want him to fail, like I don’t really want anyone to fail. But I do expect him to fail.

I expect him to fail in one of two ways:

1. He already knows or will learn that some of his promises are bad ideas and he will just not do those (this is not a bad thing in any way, we should generally commend people who learn new things and refuse to do bad things). But I would count this as a sort of failure in regards to what he promised to do.

2. Some of his promises he will do, and since humanity does have the power to bend economic reality, it may look for a while like those policies work. Unfortunately, economic reality bounces back hard when you bend it too much for too long. This will be a nastier failure, because for anyone not looking closely (which is a hard thing to do), it might look as he succeeded, and most of the blame of the fallout will go to the next people fixing his mistakes. This is a typical left/right pendulum swing.

I will reiterate that I don’t want him to fail, and will gladly accept new economic opinions if it starts to look like he’s doing a net good. In adult real world, I suppose it’s more reasonable to guess that some of his ideas will work, and some will not. The usual problem is that leftists tend to waste money on unnecessary or badly run public projects, but to my knowledge, there’s no specific theoretical reason for the left to do that – it’s just tends to happen. Which, when I try to think positively, implies to me that it’s possible for some leftists to do better in that area.

His version of Islam seems like a moderate one, so if that image is true, I have pretty much nothing against that. Some theological disagreements perhaps, but not hugely different from the disagreements that I have with other moderate abrahamic believers.

And it’s always/usually good when a 40-year (edit oh, more like 30-year old, wow) old beats a bunch of 70-year olds in the political arena. And it’s fascinating when fresh ideas come in. Perhaps all that will invite other “young” people to go into politics.

edit Plus in the current political climate in the US, it’s always good when a D beats an R.

I recommend Zero Sievert for anyone interested in the genre.

LLMs have amazing potential. We’re on the verge of an equivalent of the Industrial Revolution.

That however won’t stop idiots from overselling it.

Meanwhile nearly 60% of Windows Gmaes now run on Windows.

If I have something serious, I will set up automatic upgrades. If short downtimes are ok, also with automatic reboots when the kernel updates, but if they are not, with notifications that I should go reboot them.

If it’s not anything serious, whenever I remember to.

The rockets were a distraction. They killed 12 people, most of them Bedouins.

The real attacks (including the rave massacre) were done by operatives, boots on the ground, using small arms fire.

Wealth inequality is worse in the US than in China.

Could be, that data for wealth isn’t easily available for both countries.

Income inequality is about the same in USA and China though, Gini coefficient around 0.41 in both countries. Most figures put China slightly more inequal than USA for income.

Dealing with surplus humans has never been a problem for communist countries. Just stop allocating them food for 2 months.

Not sure if China is that sort of a communist country these days though, but it sure retained the authoritarian parts.

I cannot speak for anyone else, but a year ago I thought that I’d never buy a chinese laptop due to political reasons and here we are one year later and I have a Lenovo. I think most people will eventually make their decisions based on something else than politics, or that politics are in issue only when choosing between things that are identical enough in every other way.

Given the amount of publicity they’ve received from all this, I’m inclined to be a bit conspiracy theoretic about this… Did they plan it to unfold exactly like it did? Are you all helping them?

Controversy and infamy lasts for a few months, but after that’s over, the name Framework is still etched into everyone’s minds even though they don’t anymore exactly remember why.
