That always depends. But, if you want an experience that supports all hardware and software. You can buy it cheaper than building yourself. And you're supporting Chris/Perry as well as the designers who I believe are all now official commodore.

Define people. Because obviously people don't here. The average person I talk to IRL on a daily basis don't know what it is, have never used it, and likely never will. And a system where the people currently pushing this wouldn't exist would certainly change things.
Your argument basically amounts to "nu uh".

Yes, I have seen posts on it. Sufficed to say, despite being an anarchist. I don't have an account there for reasons. And don't agree with everything they do.
The situation with those bans I might consider heavy handed and perhaps overreaching. But by the same token it's a bit of a reflection of some of those that are banned. Overzealous and lacking nuance etc.
The funny thing is. They pretty much dislike the tech bros as much as anyone here does. You generally won't ever find them defending their actions. They want AI etc that they can run from their home. Not snarfing up massive public resources, massively contributing to climate change, or stealing anyone's livelihood. Hell many of them want to run off the grid from wind and solar. But, as always happens with the left. We can agree with eachother 90%, but will never tolerate or understand because of the 10%.

The point is, most wouldn't. It's of little real use currently, especially the LLM bullshit. The communities would have infinitely better things to pit resources to.
- Comment on Lemmy be like 1 week ago:
And the point of anarchist or actual communist systems is that such scale would be miniscule. Not massive national or unanswerable state scales.
And yes, I'm an anarchist. I know DB0 and their instance and generally agree with their stance - because it would allow any one of us to effectively advocate against it if we desired to.
There would be no tech broligarchy forcing things on anyone. They'd likely all be hanged long ago. And no one would miss them as they provide nothing of real value anyway.

I see, so you don't understand. Or simply refuse to engage with what was asked.
- Comment on Lemmy be like 1 week ago:
While you aren't wrong about human nature. I'd say you're wrong about systems. How would the same thing happen under an anarchist system? Or under an actual communist (not Marxist-Leninist) system? Which account for human nature and focus to use it against itself.
- Comment on Intel CPU Temperature Monitoring Driver For Linux Now Unmaintained After Layoffs 2 weeks ago:
Oh I have no issues with it being relevant in the same sense the Z80 68k or 6502 still being relevant. Just not part of a controlling duopoly.
- Comment on Intel CPU Temperature Monitoring Driver For Linux Now Unmaintained After Layoffs 2 weeks ago:
Or, what if it just became irrelevant. It's had a great run. But honestly ARM has shown plenty of versatility and power. While being licensable unlike x86. And things like riscv have similar of not better potential.

Contacts are about control. When fascists are in charge. Everything is politics
- Comment on Why isn't Mbin more popular? 3 weeks ago:
Yep, reliability and popularity. There's still plenty of space for it. But I think piefed has kind of come in and sucked up all the extra oxygen in the room for the moment.
- Comment on ChatGPT users shocked to learn their chats were in Google search results 3 weeks ago:
That and conservatives abhor thinking. They need someone or something to defer to. And LLMs can give them all sorts of moderately intelligent bullshit they've come to expect . From their leaders and politicians. But better and faster. With possibly even less accuracy.

While I would love this personally. I think this is still a bit of a browser support issue Etc. But yes jpeg XL please. Smaller size for similar fidelity as JPEG. Even lossless with transparencies much better sizes than PNG. Though I know there is traction on the PNG side again and they are talking of implementing something other than lzma compression. That's still the future. Jpeg XL is here and now. Not As tied as webp is to a single company Period and not quite as esoteric as avif is.

They can't. Not without my consent. And minors can't not without their parents consent.
And if we're all going to rail against things because they can have side effects. Viagra can cause heart attack and death. Boner pills kill y'all. We should outlaw Viagra or similar medications they'll literally kill you. Puberty blockers and transitioning won't do that. In fact generally the opposite.
- Comment on The Fediverse is the Left Wing Circle Jerk 3 weeks ago:
I never said it was. There's 100% side effects for every medication around. They generally don't really impact most people however. And are often preferable to the condition they seek to solve.
And regardless I don't think anyone should take someone implying that something is the work of demons seriously. Or give any weight to anything you say over scientists and doctors who consult with their patients. Who all say otherwise
- Comment on The Fediverse is the Left Wing Circle Jerk 3 weeks ago:
Puberty blockers don't do any sort of transition. They literally just block puberty. Which runs its course when the puberty blockers stop. There is no transition. But this is the thing with your type. You get indoctrinated with an concept and then imagine all sorts of crazy things to explain it.

Yep, luanti can do *Minecraft. And much much more. Luanti has the potential to become a platform more like roblox.
- Comment on Some people think that proprietary software for a 3d printer is a plus? 4 weeks ago:
You aren't disagreeing with anything I said. It's all very asterisk-y. And if my personal preference/position is unclear. I run non proprietary *nix systems at a 7:1 ratio to proprietary. Precisely because of the better support. Come October that ratio is going to be getting even more lopsided.
- Comment on Some people think that proprietary software for a 3d printer is a plus? 4 weeks ago:
Oh absolutely. You're preaching to the choir here. Part of the reason I have a lot of hope around riscv. The processor designs themselves aren't necessarily open source. But with the ISA being open and open source the first to embrace. It "could" foster a new much less proprietary ecosystem.
- Comment on Some people think that proprietary software for a 3d printer is a plus? 4 weeks ago:
Proprietary "can" mean better support. But that's asterisk heavy. Often that comes down to commercial hardware putting up road blocks to competitors. Or the open source solution being the product of a single developer in their spare time.
- Comment on Which of theses games should i play? 4 weeks ago:
As others have said. Minecraft of the more known and established. Luanti is awesome though. It can do "Minecraft" and so much more. I'd say it really comes down to external factors.
Do your friends already play Minecraft. And if the don't, are they going to have money to put towards it? In the end there's nothing saying you can't do both. I will say this though. Installing and running a dedicated server for Minecraft, bedrock at least. Was way harder than luanti. But if you aren't planning on self hosting then you don't have to worry about that.

If the most relevant way to describe someone is "influencer". Then everyone influenced by them is a moron. They are just a mega moron. It's a safety hazard any of these vehicles are allowed on the road. Let alone, driving autonomously with no actual intelligence on board.
