imagine you are watching youtube on this thing and when an ad shows up, you can’t look away, even if you try to they can track your eye movement and just move the window, you can’t mute it, you certainly cannot install adblock on it, you are forced to watch the ad until it satisfies apple

WUT? Apple is very focused on privacy and the idea that a user can’t mute or install Adblock is… weird. Safari has good ad-blocking options as well as built-in anti-tracking features to protect users, applications can’t usually prevent the system from muting content and Apple doesn’t really sell ads outside of the App Store.

If you want to worry about that stuff I’d suggest focusing on the Meta VR goggles or god forbid Google starts making goggles, both of those companies survive on ad revenue and have an incentive to enshitify their experience in ways that the Apple we know today would never do. Of course companies can change over time, but the ethic at Apple is to only make products they feel comfortable with their families using.

There is a huge overlap between people who would participate in Antifa and Anarchists, so you can imagine the problems getting a structured organization setup and keeping on task and purpose.

ZFS will let you setup a RAID like set of small volumes which mirror one larger volume, it takes some setup, but that’s the most “elegant” solution in that once it’s configured you only need to touch it when you add a volume to the system and it’s just a mounted filesystem that you use.

Does not solve the off-site problem, one fire and it’s all gone.

One round rock salt, one bird shot, one buck shot, nothing bug slugs after that.

Hold my nose and pick the minimum harm candidates.

Vertical integration is when you control the entire product, in consumer electronics Apple is the gold standard; they make the software, hardware, and processors then integrate them into iPhones and macBooks. Tesla is a good example in the automotive space, their goal with the mega-factories is “raw materials in, cars out” and they work to build as many of the parts themselves as possible.

Alternately Microsoft just makes a good enough OS that runs on good enough hardware from commodity vendors, so you get good enough computers. Most auto makers buy good enough components from 2nd and 3rd tier suppliers and integrate them into good enough cars.

I see what you did there ಠ_ಠ

Typically inline assembly is written in an #IFDEF block with a C/C++ alternative provided. Since the assembly is machine specific the devs need to write it for all the processor families they want to optimize for.

+1: ed/vi/vim is on every system with a shell, if you can ssh into it, you can edit files using those tools, it’s worth knowing them.

Nano is adorable, and EMACS is notoriously huge, both in capabilities and learning curve.

It’s probably also the kind of fancy glass you can get to go foggy on command (hopefully it’s fail foggy, i.e. needs a small charge to be clear) so that when you latch the door the stall becomes private.

I think you mean a “Pixel” because most Samsung customers only care that it’s “Not an iPhone”

What’s the mean time for integration into SteamOS?

Why not both?
