Notepad has long been a testbed for new technology in Windows. This isn’t just a sign of enshittification, it’s a warning that they want to do more.

You sound surprised…

Yeah, and termites are basically cockroaches.

Holy Whataboutism Batman!

It’s actually okay to say that they’re right on some topics and wrong on others.

The SOC uses U-Boot to boot. The Imagination GPU is more of a problem, but there’s work underway to get an open source driver fully working. I’ve got my own kernel and mesa running on multiple dev boards and, while I can’t run a full desktop with mesa on that PowerVR driver yet, I have been able to render some basic things with it. I can, however, install a 6.6 kernel and some userspace binaries to get full acceleration ITMT.

This isn’t really ready for standard consumer use anyway. The point of this is basically as a glorified developer board, which was exactly what I bought it for.

If someone who makes ARM hardware wants to make a mainboard, I’d imagine Framework will work with them under the same conditions they’re working with DeepComputing on the RISC-V one.

What do you want to do at 4k, 120 Hz?

Kinda?

I view Oracle as worse than Google.

FWIW Dolphin only does it if the filesystem doesn’t provide a way to add that metadata directly to the directory and you change the view configuration for that directory away from your standard configuration. Which is how the standard describes to do it. (Some file managers incorrectly add those .directory files to every directory you visit.)

A mac will add a .DS_Store file to any directory just by breathing on it.

Also remember that systemd isn’t generally doing this in series, waiting for each unit before starting the next. It’s firing off a bunch of units and then continuing what it does. If it were measuring the actual time that a unit takes without including the fact that it’s waiting for resources that other units are using, it’s highly unlikely that bare, which is basically empty, would take longer than massive snaps like Firefox and the GNOME content snaps.

Theoretically with a huge number of snaps and slow enough storage media this could have a noticeable effect, but in practice that case is highly unlikely.

“Single-family zoning is the manspreading of urban design” had me chuckling. In part because it’s a brilliant argument.

I would also be interested in a defence of capitalism that doesn’t come down to “but the USSR” or similar.

You can run 5g on unlicensed spectrum too, and there are fully open source 5g stacks. The primary issue there is that most phones don’t have the hardware to connect to those networks. But the same is true right now of wifi on 900 MHz.

I would guess that your average PRC citizen is less likely to be a tankie than your average hexbear.

I really do hate Cold Texas

Nvidia and overheating. Name a more iconic duo.

It does.

Well i still can’t get the dock that came with it to output to multiple 4k monitors (even though it’s supposed to be able to), so…

I was going to say… I’ve had a cable with that logo on it for over a year.
