I dgaf about support. (i’m naturally perky).

Back in dos there was a systemic encouragement to users to at least learn something about a computer. Nowadays windows apologists seem to relish how much it dumbs down computers, (or any over supported system).

They won’t learn to ride the bike until someone removes the stabiliser brackets - and Gates is one of the cunts who figured out that he makes more cash by welding them on.

basic_task_list = ['copy and paste', 'install package', 'type', 'keyboard', 'read and write' ]

for basic_task in basic_task_list:
    print(f"""
        Newbies can't {basic_task}.
        They never {basic_task} in windows.
        Windows  has replaced {basic_task} with copilot, this is what linux needs to do to compete.

        How will linux ever hope to attract windows user if it still maintains this ancient hacker 1337xor tools like  {basic_task}?

        Users just want to turn on computer and watch it do computance - how does linux not get this?

I’ve had it with all these mkfs-ing windows on this mkfs-ing plane.

Thanks! You stopped me clinking the linked slop so i downvoted OP, but your comment made me look up the previous project and some of that made me feel slightly less bad about my own shitty ignorant failures with guitar effect circuits.

If you actually know what you are doing, and you looked at the schematic and went “Linus is clearly way over his head, and that is just stupid”, whether it comes to parts choices or to just the circuit in general, please let me know.

In particular, don’t feel like it would be impolite to tell me I’m incompetent and doing stupid things. I absolutely know I’m not competent and would love to hear any criticism. Some of the best teaching moments have been when I haven’t understood something, and somebody piped up to tell me I should do Xyz.

I’m going to leave the link to the “Tremolo doubling as a metronome” issue from the 1590A pedal project, because that was a case of somebody (@gralco) coming in and very politely telling me I was doing stupid things.

Pushing me to do simulations in KiCad completely changed the game. So don’t be shy to tell me my circuits suck. Because that’s literally why I do this!

Long before the term intelligence was sullied by the prefix “artificial” the phrase “police intelligence” has long been a euphemism for a suspicion that they cannot back up with any evidence that would stand up in court.

I think coprolite seems like a perfect fit for their methods. They just need to train it to start off with solid evidence and fuck it up until it doesn’t stand up in court. Then it’ll be employee of the week. A bit like computer driven cars, it might be shite but that doesn’t mean it is necessarily worse than the typical human cop.

The real problem is if it’s harder to hold it to account.

I don’t know about supplies in rest of the world, but typically the rpi “kits” that include the book seem to be very limited and rarely in stock.

I think the book, at least older versions, can be found on ebay though. I think its just a basic into to python and GPIO so the earlier editions are probably fine.

Compare it to the likely alternative for the task/person, probably R or even MS excel in many cases i’d guess. The alternatives should ideally be based on empirical observation of the population. The marginal saving of choosing a higher efficiency than python might look a lot lower.

On debian, I never worry - most of my regular use computers are that. Maybe hesitant about a dist-upgrade, but i backup all my home and main edited config , and apt-list regularly anyway.

on my arch that i use regularly I never worry.

on steam deck never worry - kind of obviously.

On my arch system that i only use occasionally i just expect trouble whenever i go back to it after a too long (say 2 months i’d be edgy)…

I always run my backup procedure first - i have to anyway to sync my home folders.

update archlinux-keyring first as that’s the most common issue .

if any dependency issue emerges that cant be fixed by removing one or two packages or using pacman-static - i normally just go straight back to live usb and chroot, or be prepared to reformat and jump back to the pacstrap part of install process and reinstall base system.

It’s the hands. not enough fingers.

if /dev/null is fast and web-scale, i will use it!

I guess you might want to link the psu to a bunch of relays that controlled by the gpio, and use it to deliver medium amounts of power to various peripherals. i guess lots of motors or maybe fairly powerful led lighting arrays, or weak heaters , comes to mind.

So what seemed most daft to me is exposing the 3v and 5v lines on that breadboard like thing, but not using the psu’s +/-12v lines - that could let you run 12 and 24V stuff. plenty of space to allow for a bunch of relays and some connectors.

But even so its a strange form factor for that.

Does “activist group” not have soulseek? smh

Honestly thou i don’t really know what a spotify is, sounds like a dogging app.

But isn’t half the point of cutting edge tech news to echo hype louder and louder until investors pile in?

Because it’s not actually “half life three”. It’s (half life)^3. One of the hardware constraints is that has to be played on something cubic.

It’ll depend on the futures contracts. They’ll have price clauses and, get-out clauses , resale clauses and stuff, so it’ll come down to lawyering.

It’s unlikely that journos know the contract details. Buy clearly any OEM without a futures contract already in place does not have access to low prices.

And any OEM with cheap stock and contractual freedom to resell would seriously consider parting out and selling off stock at the windfall price.

yeah there was ‘notepadqq’, but its not the same as ++.

Yep, lots of regulation, not necessarily even socialist stuff , some of it was just prudent financial system management. Glass-Steagall for example and bretton-woods and stuff that limited limited power and sought to tame some animal spirits.
