So it turns out you can, see my other post, I stand corrected

I assumed the Spartan 6 didn’t have enough LEs to run a microblaze with MMU, but the pictured one is a 75kLUT part so you could probably fit at least a simple dual core design!

Well, at least one is an FPGA not an SOC…

Angry leftists. I get that it’s a hard thing to untangle, we’re so used to the aesthetic being associated with right wing psychopaths but nobody makes visually district leftist gear

I’m old enough to remember the Iraq “doublya emm deez” and GW calling everything nookyalar. It was pretty insulting to everyone’s intelligence.

This is…just openly taunting us.

Uh almost all of these run great on Linux proton, the one exception being GTA online because of the anti cheat.

It’s so interesting seeing the whole list. Most of these guys are around the same age and were the survivors of the dot com bubble. It really speaks to how economically inefficient things have become when one relatively isolated event in a particular (and at the time narrow) industry created a distinct economic class that now just arbitrarily runs the country despite being extremely detached from it.

It feels a bit like the “paperclipping” AI doomsday scenario but instead of paperclips the tech oligarchs only understand tech and are just mindlessly trying to use all of the nations resources to make more tech companies.

I unfortunately work with AI and actually understand how it works. It’s going to replace workers the same way that cocaine replaces workers.

It’ll make some knowledge workers moderately more productive but that excess will be absorbed like with any other tool and we’ll just do more shit as a society at the expense of continuing to destroy the environment.

Once the bubble bursts and things calm down there will probably be some job growth as the economy figures out how to better utilize these new tools. It’s like if you invented a machine that could frame 60% of a house and brilliantly declared you’d fire all the framers but then realized you’re now building a lot of houses and need more framers than before to finish the remaining 40%.

I usually updated a couple times a week and got bit around once a year over the course of probably 8 years running arch

Yeah, have it setup in nix to just work and haven’t had issues in years. When I ran arch (btw) I was routinely recovering my system from bad updates

On Linux, selecting LUKS when you install encrypts the disk without the potential for this problem. So far it’s proven to be very reliable at stopping state level actors, just don’t use a password that you use elsewhere

I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love!

Okay I’ll offer up the alternative.

Show any social worker or mental health professional a violent police interaction and in 90% of cases they will just shake their heads. They deal with the same shit every day and successfully manage many of the same situations without shooting anyone. The police universally try to respond as aggressively and counter productively as they can and it turns mental health crises into violence. Like yeah, there are situations where armed response is needed but so many of the common situations don’t require someone pointing guns at people. Go watch a random badge cam video and ask yourself, could a competent mental health worker resolve this? Food for thought, people frequently react in extreme ways to the police because they know how violent and unjust the situation will become with them involved.

For prison at a minimum just stop with the drug war shit. Stop sending people to jail for parking fines and weed and getting them wrapped up in the system so they lose their jobs. An ideal standard could, again, involve mental health treatment, counseling, and rehabilitation. If someone’s arrested for stealing shit, maybe they need to be put in a safe environment where they can learn skills, get a job and contribute to society. If they’re too dangerous, they need to be in a facility where they’re getting actual help and treatment until they aren’t dangerous if that day ever comes.

You may be thinking that this stuff is just vaguely cops and jails by some other name and at a hyper superficial level that may be in part, but the meat grinder we’ve built is definitely not the above in any stretch of the imagination.

There are even more extreme versions like the restorative (not just rehabilitative) justice systems built by the Zapatistas, I encourage people to seek out alternative proposals, there’s a whole world of ideas out there.

NVIDIA, FORK YOU!

Sitting on Lemmy waiting for some 338LM brass to dry in the oven then I’m back to the press to fill and seat everything. Have been putting off loading for my precision rig but recent events have introduced some new urgency to that task.

Idk if people are aware, but this is the original concept for the car. It was designed to be short enough to fit into parking spots sideways deliberately.

I feel it, but really the evangelicals believe in a sort of Rokos Basilisk sorta thing where if they don’t make everyone else an evangelical they’re damned. So effectively their religion may not matter to us, but it’s a zombie brain virus to them which makes it our problem.
