I agree, but I was trying to fit their budget.

PineTab 4GB RAM / 64GB eMMC is $159 and PineNote is $399

I agree, but it’s definitely marketed as a gaming console of a sort, and not really marketed as a full-fledged PC.

So, imho, that technically skewers the numbers a bit, as it’s not a “desktop” in the traditional sense.

I mean, I’m still not calling 2023 the “Year of the Linux Desktop.” I’m calling it the “Year of the Portable Linux Gaming Console.”

The growth in percentage in Linux in Steam metrics is almost entirely because the Steam Deck.

It’s far closer to a pc than a console.

Ehhh, you have to spend money on a decent dock to be able to use it with any consistency as a desktop. Sure, software-wise, it’s not a console, it plays PC games.

However, it’s physical form factor is a console. It looks and functions out of the box far more like a Nintendo Switch than a IBM ThinkPad.

It’s literally a gamepad with a screen and no keyboard or mouse. So despite being a PC platform, I would still consider this a “console,” based on outward-facing form factor alone, personally.

CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

This might be funnier than all those Facebook accounts with warnings about “I do not authorize anyone to use my photos!”

Because they’re trying to copyright an internet comment that they posted on a service hosted by someone else, with a creative commons license attached. It’s like a step up in knowing how shit works, but still not knowing enough.

If you really want ownership over what you say… don’t post it on the fucking internet.

I use pigeons and let the wind tell me where to send them.

So is other guy gonna sue me now and win because I just copy and pasted what they said? This is a joke.

current copyright laws make zero sense if you actually stop and think about it for any amount of time.

So true.

Despite being very grateful for what this job has done for me and my family, I’m simply not strong enough to keep doing this if it means having to just accept this kind and amount of distress. Perhaps that makes me weak, but I’ve rarely ever really thought otherwise.

I agree with Jocat, this isn’t a sign of weakness.

Can we drop this “gotta be strong” shit when people are literally dealing with thousands of random abusive asshats never leaving them be?

That’s a fair take, thanks for the clarification.

That’s fair, I was just being cheeky and trying to be funny. I don’t have any deets on software piracy sadly, my friend.

My best suggestion would be soulseek, it seems to have stuff I have trouble finding elsewhere, although you might need to make an exception for it to search for msi/exe files.

Very interesting, I have long been familiar with Dunbar’s Number, but I’d actually not thought about it connection with things like social media influencers/streamers. (Probably because that’s not my scene, I don’t stream/don’t watch streams.)

That sounds about correct though, I actually can’t even imagine trying to regularly communicate with that many people directly, in a chatroom style format. It sounds oppressive and demanding.

and just uninstall apps that control you and make you mentally unstable.

While this is good, at this point, the “apps” that “control you” are fully the operating system itself. Android and Windows now both especially push advertising in gross ways and spend way too much time sending way too much data back to home base. iOS and macOS are like maybe just slightly better in that regard, but not a whole lot.

Which leaves you with Linux for computing and android alternatives like LineageOS or GrapheneOS, all of which demand a little bit more technical knowhow on the individuals part.

It’s so so much harder to escape than it used to be. It’s pretty pervasive at this point and damaging to the average person, in terms of how “apps that control you” can really be the whole computer or phone.

If only. Democrats are historically milquetoast in response to Republicans.

This charade has been going on for 40-some years or more. At least since the likes of Reagan and Gingrich.

  1. The court could go out of their way to rule on the case and make sure it only applied to Trump and only in this instance.
  2. Just because the Democrats are suddenly given power doesn’t mean they will use it to stop fascism. Sadly, too many in the Democratic party are invested in the US Empire to just let go of how things currently work. Their long inability to act is literally why we are at the precipice of fascism fully taking over. The Democrats fell in line with Bush’s illegal war in Iraq, and they declined to do anything about the fact that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld & Co. signed off on torture. We’re about to have Trump as a Dictator because we refused to do anything about leaders who were and are war criminals. People expecting Biden to do something, even if it is ruled in his favor, are waiting in false hope, imho.

EDIT: To be clear, I’d be ecstatic to be proven wrong, honestly. It would be nice to see Democrats really stand on the right side of history, not just partially or out of convenience.

I fully believe this conversation works better when it’s Data and Lore, with Lore taking the role of Dennis.
