Serbia sells arms to anyone. A lot of people are making bank now that conflicts are turning hot globally.

For instance…an israeli 747 was just loading up in Belgrade this morning…

There’s little evidence that debate changes people’s ideas.

…or organize, start/join unions, get involved with your local community and build up some real resistance that isn’t based off obscene wealth, lawfare or media brainwashing. Once you have experienced something real, it’s quite hard to understand how or why anyone would fall for the alternative.

Well, there’s the Defined Benefit pension, however typically these pension funds then become institutional investors who seek to own shares in… you guessed it - stocks.

At least those institutional investors are at least somewhat responsive to public pressure campaigns, as the state/local comptrollers are a politically appointed position.

When you give your money to a 401k, the fund manager gets all the voting rights on the corporate board and is generally only accountable to “A reasonable rate of return”

just without the hope in the future, investment in human capital, rise in living standards etc…

At this point, why would anyone do business with broadcom at all?

CDL drivers have been required to speak English since 1936, though.

Then they’ll ban far left politicians from running.

Then they’ll ban anyone they don’t like.

And eventually, they’ll ban everyone who isn’t them.

Right wing lunatics are repulsive in almost every sense, but this isn’t the way you beat them. When you put the machinery in place to do something like this, it will inevitably be abused in the opposite direction in future.

I hear there are places in Berlin that charge a small amount of money give you a towel for such fantasies.

Me.

Give me something like Talos2 with a full OSS firmware and a performant CPU… and hell, a half-competitive open source graphics core too. It doesn’t need to be peak performance, it needs to be good enough.

I’ve been trying to work with SBC’s for a while for video decoding platforms and just wound up getting stuck on x86 because the ARM situation with weirdo custom kernels for anything useful is just… annoying.

Just another reason to keep away from shitty offices then!

Because they are scared, and hiding behind the skirts of a paper-thin layer of incompetent fascists prior to facing the music from everybody they’ve hurt.

If someone could spit out some nice high-performance RISC-V CPU with an integrated open-source and most importantly mainlined GPU (which also includes a video encoder/decoder which could handle 4k 264, 265* and AV1) … I’d be SO happy…

• Yes, I know the intellectual property/digital restrictions management cesspit would do everything they could to prevent this from happening. One can dream, though.

As an enterprise admin, I concur.

Windows seems to be turning into some kind of weird botnet that exists only to waste wattage and bandwidth on updating itself and looking for security risks. I have weirdly fond memories of NT… but I don’t miss updating JRE on 1k+ machines though…

Yeah, then they lose all their best and brightest who are disappearing off to work on their own things.

All these idiot C-suite trash will wind up holding is a bag of yesterday’s technology, a mass of obsolete infrastructure and a bunch of brands they’ve helped destroy.

Easy to be loving to your inner circle when you have millions provided by killing other people’s kids.

Suggest reading about the circumstances running up to the storming of the Bastille.

Despair is useless

OWui has a search module which can be enabled. For me, running it entirely offline is more or less the draw. I think it also supports RAG search, although I don’t know how “good” it is… mostly I was just after a little magic box to play with.

Now, if only enterprise glass GPU’s weren’t so power hungry and expensive…
