china is reportedly preparing to take over the consumer cpu market.

flatpak marks packages as unmaintained, and at least gnome software will show it to users with a banner.

and people who help nazis are nazis

yes but also no.

google influenced, but not google controlled anymore.

no.

i’ll look into this, but they seem to have used the old strategy of announcing something absurd then back down to what they wanted because of “community pressure”

bonus for not looking bad in comparison, while still being bad.

reminds me of this guy doing similar stuff on youtube

it’s the only way i can truly think of. revolution feels so incredibly far away though.

there must be a way to resist this shit in the meantime.

so much for making our own tech!

it’s expected to tell someone to rtfm politely, but it exists for a reason and we must cultivate a culture of rtfm. the community can be there for more specific advice.

how do you think this can be most effectively fought?

pipewire just dissolved all my audio issues ever. could not be happier with it.

i’d go as far as saying tfm exists for a reason

i’ve heard of beeper before, and it’s what i want, but something feels off about it?

is it open source? what can you say about their privacy policy?

i’ve gotta admit libs come up with the some of the best strawman out there.

i think countries deserve things based on CURRENT wrongs too, silly.

i’m actually still learning about north korea as i took interest in it very recently, but i can say a couple of things:

yes, not unlike cuba, they suffer from the blockade and lack of sufficient land. because of that, they used to very heavily rely on the ussr for food and trade, and when it died, their food distribution collapsed for a few years.

though something that’s not talked about enough is how they built their country atop of ashes and a lot preexisting hunger after the korean war and major bombings by the us. this one is a hurdle most socialist countries have to deal with.

that’s not to say communists generally think north korea it’s perfect or else.

i can’t tell you in good faith about their modern internal policy, or the veracity of modern hunger claims because i simply don’t know enough about it yet.

on the topic of us external policy: south korean’s army is very influenced by the us, through the combined forces. this stalemate has a big element of us imperialism, not that unlike what they briefly did to vietnam.

plus it managers seem to not trust software at all if you are not paying for it for some reason.

ideally, all devices should be open to choose any OS.

and afaik steam deck is not linux-only

especially when north korea did a whole lot of nothing wrong to other countries these last few decades, while the other is keen on crashing the world economy rn.

ha. refusing to is both good and bad at the same time.
