If nobody adapted one of the mobile distros, and that would be the first thing I check before buying.

I get that you can always apply patches yourself but … it rubs me the wrong way

Or you know, install a different distro…

It can’t have a longer life than something that’s repairable and upgradable.

Even if we imagine Apple used the highest quality components, which they most certainly didn’t, anything dying means you need to completely replace the internals of your device. It’s like saying a car that needs an engine replacement because of a dead spark plug can have a long life.

Repairability, not reliability

Unsupported device, but seems to still be working

Inb4 it becomes/is a subsidiary of the NSO group…

Zerowriter Ink should get up to a week of battery life

ESP strikes again…

I rarely have to divide things by five or ten. I have to divide things by two, three and four a lot.

I don’t know anything about carpentry, so I’ll take your word on it.

My best guess is that the standards are different. For example 2cm stock instead of 1.9. Then only the 1/3 is problematic.

Quick off the top of your head, why would I use fractions of a cm instead of mm? It’s a workaround for a shit system

Just wait for an American to tell you how it’s easier to use fractions with imperial. I’ve legit seen them say shit like 3/8 of an inch is easier to think about than 9.5mm.

There’s plenty of lithium. It’s just that the biggest deposits are under extremely fertile land, and the citizens of those countries don’t care about destroying their food supply so Germans can make cheaper cars.

Portugal is fighting against opening mines.

Serbia got Rio Tinto to fuck off through protest and copius death threats. Now China and EU are trying to get in.

Germany, Austria, and Finland all have plans for “eco friendly” mines, while the poorer countries have to fight against turning their land into a toxic cesspit. France is just repurposing their already existing pit.

Imagine doing this to your farmland

It seems like most of the nice-sounding ones are proprietary.

That’s pretty standard. Most FOSS projects don’t have corporations feeding them 100’s of thousands of dollars. Even when they do, well people still say gimp is far worse than ps. Blender is one of the rare complex projects that can compete with proprietary alternatives.

And any ideas why this is an underdeveloped area for open source?

My best guess is that it’s really expensive and time consuming. I’d be surprised if those really good proprietary models didn’t cost $100k+ just for training.

which will happen over and over again until the end of humanity capitalism.

I fixed it for you.

Ever heard of the terms faulty generalisation, sampling bias, or echo chamber?

First time I’m hearing about Waterfox, but it’s strange they’re leaving in the regular tabs. I hope they add the option to remove them instead of having to use custom CSS like in FF.

weed

Weed is better today, but you wouldn’t get arrested for it back then

chocolate

Ah yes, the industry that depends on child labor, human trafficking, and slavery…

aspirin

Chew willow bark

It was paradise for a very small fraction of the population and rape/slavery/castration for the rest.

Yeah, today you don’t buy agrarian slaves, instead you just magically get cheap bananas, chocolate, oil, lithium, etc.

Out of sight, out of mind?

So you’re saying we should have maenads chase them down in a forest, rip them apart by hand, and eat then?

Tell me where is Gandalf, for I much desire to speak with him
