So was this just a purely “everyone’s doing it, so the customers (shareholders) expect it, so we’ll follow suit” type thing? Do mass layoffs inspire confidence in the stock so it goes up? It’s hard to understand from a rational position that throwing away money makes money for the investors.

I really wanted to like DS. The world seems really interesting, and so does the story. Maybe I didn’t give it enough of a chance, but I found the gameplay to swing between boring and frustrating, with a side of gorgeous scenery.

Wordle gets a lot easier with some strategic opening word choices. The basic strategy is to pick words eliminating RSTLNE early (the “wheel of fortune” strategy), as those are the most commonly used letters.

There’s also a more specific strategy aiming to win on the 3rd guess by maximizing common letters and placements using two predetermined opening guesses. “Clint” and “soare” were found to be the most optimal, but any combo on that list would be a very good pick.

Honestly, in a managed environment, there’s not really much learning to do. All the hard part of learning Linux is dealing with system issues, or when shit breaks. In corporate land, you’ve got IT staff for that.

The biggest hurdle would be learning libre office, but considering the average white collar level of mastery of MS office is pretty poor, the basics really aren’t that different in LO.

I’m not entirely sure since it wasn’t my comment, but personally I wouldn’t find it unreasonable to dislike a platform solely based on who owns it, and want to discourage its use. That’s especially true for someone in the fediverse, as I think most of us ended up here due to the continual enshitification of reddit.

I read it more as someone just venting annoyance about the article relying on twitter embeds in the first place – something that’s not unreasonable to block – more than looking for a solution.

No, the Linux community is dimensionless. Physical objects cannot fit within it.

Hope this helps.

Oh, maybe. Is that how it works?

Apparently it was against the rules of that community and I was banned.

Sounds like they’ve done you a favour. Now you don’t have to see their random hater circlejerk community again.

Yeah, I just recently upgraded from a first gen i7. The performance gain is substantial, but less necessary than you’d think. I’d probably have kept going with my trusty i920 a bit longer if it wasn’t for lack of AVX.

Agreed. In the long term it’s better for consumers if there is competition, but that also means being an informed consumer, making good buying decisions and not being blindly loyal to any particular brand.

If anything, Intel’s lack of transparency should speak volumes. They’re hoping to just mostly ignore the problem until it blows over. I still think it’s more severe than they’re letting on, but only time will tell. They’re in full damage control mode right now.

Anyone who gets scared off of buying Intel CPU’s until they see how this plays out is making a sound decision IMO. Consumers shouldn’t accept this kind of behaviour.

On the flip side, this could also make for some potentially good deals on unaffected SKUs.

That’s wild. Did you need a special program to parse stuff out of the data stream? I guess it would mostly come in as http reaponses, so it wouldn’t be too hard, but still an interesting problem.

So your reaction to Asmon saying something kinda fuckin racist and then recanting, as opposed to just not saying the racist thing in the first place, is to give him more of your attention?

People like him get popular by manufacturing controversy.

“I’m sorry you found my actions hurtful.”

//TODO: remove perfctl

There, that should fix it.

This might work for consumer markets, but they’ve got b2b partners with deep pockets and expensive lawyers that are not happy. Also, the problem is widespread enough that a class action suit would be a pretty big deal. I don’t think this’ll just blow over.

IMO intell is scrambling to solve a hardware problem with software so they don’t have to do a massive and very, very costly recall.

Until they unequivocally show this not to be the, just hang tight.

I’d highly recommend hydrus network for that sort of thing. It’s exactly what it’s designed for, and is quite mature but still very actively developed.

That’s why I use this app to normalize time.
