Damn, there goes Linux as my retro computing target.

Guess I’ll be porting dahdi to netbsd soon lol.

Tbf, I get why Linux is dropping all this stuff. I wouldn’t mind becoming a maintainer of smaller drivers myself, but I doubt I have the skill level.


Why? Would you rather be a starving peasant with less rights that you currently have?

> Trump could say we all should get more exercise and folks would say somehow exercise is bad for you.

No I’d say he’s a fat hypocrite lol.

Nothing more ironic then fat dementia patients trying to lecture you on health. Or junkies, or Turkish pill hucksters.


Hey, erlang is brilliant

Silicon Valley must be destroyed to save America. Gladly more are waking up to this. There’s been a surge on both the right and left in my state of people wanting to reject the place and it’s disgusting “culture”.

> people realized they just do what they're told by authority and they're not the free-thinking individuals they thought they were

Nah, no one who seriously thought this has come around to the truth.


> The AI I dreamed of my whole life is being built, engineer-type strongmen are sort of in charge

Not sure the sort of pedophilic drug addicts running Silicon Valley companies really evoke the idea of an “engineer type strongman”. But I understand that colloquially “strongman” most means “paranoid loudmouth”.

Maybe this was the case when the researchers themselves had a small level of clout/influence, but I’ve seen more product acquisition announcements recently from AI than deep technical improvements.



"Note that alcohol (despite being legal and used more often than the other drugs) is by far the most harmful; not only is it the most damaging to societies, it is also the fourth most dangerous for the user. Most of the drugs were rated significantly less harmful than alcohol, with most of the harm befalling the user."

Thanks! Yes, a legal drug that is more widespread and more studied has more aggregate impact. Another sentence in that link specifically calls out legal and cultural impacts on harms. This is also in the UK, so it's worth noting there could be differences with the US. This does not negate my statement and in some areas bolsters it (data discrepancy claims).


> Can we move on to more important and substantive topics? Something something files.

Oh no too many of the powerful establishment democrats are friendly with the esteemed bankers, politicians and business leaders in those files.


God I wish. I love retro computing. There’s just so much more variety. Sadly I know I’m not the person for those sort of roles lol.
