And yet I hear dumbshits bragging all time about how alexa controls my (insert thing that definitely does not need automation here).

These sort of people never think beyond tomorrow and it shows.

LOL I thought the same thing, plus they don’t actually look all that great they look like shitty pre-made gas station doughnuts so they are mediocre at best.

Thats why EVERYONE needs to know it. You can’t disqualify everyone.

This is how enshitification begins, don’t enable this shit.

Everyone should read about jury nullification and spread it everywhere.

Microsoft it the best ad for linux.

Nothing happening is exactly what I want. I want life to be so boring that I can wake up in the morning and KNOW that no one is scheming yet more ways to ruin my country or stomp on my rights.

I tried then and it just didn’t stick for me for some reason so I crawled back to the ex with my head hung in shame. Attempt #2 is sticking though.

Another continent from Germany, yes another continet from you, probably but unfortunately for me I live in the same shithole country as system 76. that being said the hardware is all made over on that side of the pond anyway since they are just rebranded Cleavo / Sager hardware anyway.

My own experience has been the opposite, I’ve gotten more engagement in my short time here than in the last year or two on reddit. Plus no one here is trying to ban my account every time I point out trump/ musk is a big ol poopy pants.

I haven’t been to reddit since it happened, I imagine many other did the same.

Just like every other liberal they are a nazi sympathizer.

No worries bud, the mechanics for 1 and 2 has always been shit. People sucked it up and played anyway because the writing was so damn good. If you can’t get into the game because the mechanics or controls are bad thats the games fault not yours.

I have been trying to replay both for years and everytime I give up after a few hours because the experience is just painful.

Darmok and Jalad when the misogynist raged.

My daughter wanted to wear my headset when I was playing battlefield once. It was so funny listening to those losers rage because they Were getting stomped by a 5 yr old girl. Now days she still puts it on from time to time and it’s still hilarious.

I agree, maybe my wording was confusing but yeah I see the biggest problem for ARM is market penetration. Functionally it’s there already but since so few use it no one is making anything for it and since no one is making anything for it no one uses it.

yeah its a shame they aren’t better manufacturers out there for this sort of market. Even first party hardware seems pretty trash these days long gone are the days when a boutique PC manufacturer would go out of their way to make something that stands out. Falcon Northwest is the last holdout I know of and even they are nothing like they used to be.

I think that is the biggest issue with ARM. x86 is so wide spread and backwards compatible that it’s just more cost effective to eat the efficiency losses. If Arm ever gets as big as x86 I can see it dominating all but maybe the Gaming PC space. Proton compatibility layer is already compatible with it however so it might even take off there one day as well.

It’s not though, ARM themselves admit it. https://www.arm.com/glossary/risc.

“With RISC, a central processing unit (CPU) implements the processor design principle of simplified instructions that can do less but can execute more rapidly.”

None of this is to say RISC or by extension ARM is bad, just that where everything currently is it’s not a good choice for everyday computing. By design its as light weight and simple as possible so that it can perform its specific function faster and more efficiently with less overhead than a more general purpose processor.

Geeks for geeks has a good writeup on it.

This is just another rebranded Cleavo/Sager laptop anyway, it wasn’t purpose built to be a linux machine.
