Yeah, kinda funny how it’s OK when there’s a bunch of neoliberal gangsters like larry summers behind it, right?

Well, except scumbags like eric adams, NYC’s bought-owned-and-operated-by-real-estate-interests mayor.
- Comment on ‘They Are Just Pissed Off’: Scott Galloway Warns Young People Are ‘Opting Out of America’ As Older Generations Failed Them 2 months ago:
They didn’t have to swallow and blindly vote for the propaganda they were immersed in, and at any time they could have collectively decided it was the wrong direction to be going.
Instead, they willfully and gladly kept voting for the same conservative policies and didn’t make the connection as to why their lives and their kids’ lives were getting worse. That was a choice.
- Comment on Boston Dynamics introduces a fully electric humanoid robot that “exceeds human performance” 2 months ago:
The sun will start increasing in luminosity within a billion years, at which point it will be intense enough to cause rocks to begin soaking up CO2 to a point where photosynthesis will become difficult, and the planetary food chain will collapse.
The hour is much later than we think. Maybe another supercontinent cycle or so?

The hour’s growing late there. We needed to solve that problem before this technology became available. Just need useful life-extension technology and then it’ll just be a bunch of rich psychopaths running around the planet, and everyone else will be disposed of.

I recently had to hold my nose to see a band I’ve been following for a very long time.
The venue utterly sucked, treated like cattle, tighter security than getting on a plane flight. Pathetic.
Ticketmaster/livenation can go die in a fire.
- Comment on Broadcom yanks ESXi Free version, effective immediately 4 months ago:
I managed to migrate all mine to libvirt when I dumped esxi. They dropped support for the old opteron I was running at the time, so I couldn’t upgrade to v7. Welp, Fedora Server does just as well and I’ve been moving the VM hosted services into containers anyway.
Ofc… well, we’ll see what IBM does with RedHat. Probably something like this eventually. They simply can’t help themselves.
- Comment on 2024 could be the year the PC finally dumps x86 for Arm, all thanks to Windows 12 and Qualcomm's new chip 5 months ago:
I’m rather hoping RISC-V comes up and eats their lunch before it happens.
My reasoning for this is that I’ve lost too many hours trying to kludge finnicky ARM boards into supporting proper mainline video acceleration. It’s awful. It’s horrible. It’s a waste of time.
The silly x86 SBC I got worked out of the box with OneAPI with no complaints at all.
The ARM boards ran the gamut from gibberish/garbage rendering, dropped frames, washed out images because of cheap tricks to up performance.
I know this is more down to the weak (and proprietary) video cores included on these boards… but after spending a significant amount of time playing with them, I’m going to say “No, thank you.”

I really don’t care until I can buy one. In the meantime I have a few hdd’s and an old LTO4 drive…
