- Comment on The Philippine vice president publicly threatens to have the president assassinated 4 weeks ago:
I agree with you on that.
It’s very different in western countries to poorer countries where guns are readily accessible. I’m talking more in regards to suppliers than consumers. I don’t believe consumers should be punished. They should get help, but ultimately you cannot always treat gangs and suppliers with love and hugs when they’d happily ruin lives for money.
Look at Mexico, Columbia, El Salvador and the problems they have dealing with drug gangs. Legalising world wide would reduce those gangs power considerably.

There is allegedly some substance in it. Folks I’ve talked to in the Philippines who had relatives on drugs said things did improve massively and many stopped.

Well Debian doesn’t have a rolling distro, does it?
It was something that underpinned your choice and now it’s not. I’m not sure why you said gotta find when you already knew the answer.

Are people exiting PC gaming or do they already have gaming PCs with competent hardware?
I suspect the market is saturated.

- Comment on Mozilla exits the fediverse and will shutter its Mastodon server in December | TechCrunch 3 months ago:
True, but it probably won’t work. Unless the browser pulls them in as plugins and becomes modular. Most are trying to give a rich web experience out of the box and I’m not sure users will accept different programs for different things.
I really like Gemini as an idea and hope it finds it’s groove for many, but lots of mainstream users may not like it and the ad industry that people are using to fund there sites certainly won’t.

They can also use Yahoo or Bing as default for money.
The other option is diversify your revenue. Which is likely where the ad stuff comes in. If they can do that in a privacy respecting way, I have no objections. The loss of the biggest open source chromium alternative is massive and unthinkable.
For all the flaws of Mozilla, no one has forked, done better and put it out of business. It’s easier to run it behind a keyboard with zero responsibility.

I’ve felt this for a while.
When dirty tricks are at play, it’s best to resist.
Don’t get me wrong, they’ve made some bad decisions, but the world is a darker place without them.
- Comment on Apple's mobile chips are now made in the U.S. — TSMC produces the older A16 Bionic at its Arizona fab 3 months ago:
Maybe, but Intel operates there so the labour pool is probably quite skilled already. Perhaps good supply chains too.
