The windows kernel isn’t all that great, particularly in the realm of memory security or scheduling.

You know, to each their own. Question is really whether windows maintaining a closed source kernel even makes sense from a maintenance burden perspective when it really doesn’t give them much money in return. (Most of their money in 2025 comes from cloud services, not operating systems)

Yes, but also their cars are ugly and they were riding high on musk’s cult of personality in the first place.

Rivians are better anyway.

It’s times like these where you’re reminded that Linus is awesome.

Probably. In all honestly, if you are a hexbear user, I’d be keeping a careful eye on who owns the domain when it magically pops back up.

This is nearly the plot to Ghost in the Shell 2 Innocence. Nearly the keyword, they might get there eventually.

The best path forward is that developers make their linux drivers before they release their hardware to the market. You know, like what they do for windows.

There’s no silver bullet here. You have to wait for someone to reverse engineer the drivers if the developers of the hardware don’t care enough to supply even basic linux driver support. Either that or linux becomes so popular that it becomes senseless to ignore it (let’s be real though, MacOS is popular enough for this to be true and yet there’s still new hardware made that ignores that platform too.)

I don’t actually see the fediverse as being any more extreme than any other corner of the internet.

I mean, my issue is that most buttons on my huion are still non bindable, and some graphical interfaces cannot be interacted with in mouse mode and only register as touch. Lastly, occasionally programs completely ignore pen sensitivity, such as blender.

This experience was when I was last on gnome. I’ve been on budgie for a while as a result of needing a tablet for my hobbies.

The lack of proper tablet support in wayland prevents me from being excited for this. I wish there was more news on that front.

So you’re telling me that I should just add the word trans to my code a shit ton to opt my code out of AI training?

Centralization is a weakness

While I agree with the basic premise of this, I think this is all-the-more a good reason for design solutions around this problem to be discussed so that more competitors can exist. If the fediverse is to expand, there needs to be easy non-technical ways for users to start up a multitude of instances. More of these types of services actually reduces centralization, in that sense.

Corporate internet doesn’t even filter out “uncomfortable” shit for people. They have a vested interest in keeping people engaged whether it’s through love or hate.

This is a misconception I see all the time. Reddit et al try their hardest to make browsing feel like a roller coaster to keep up engagement.

What type of storage are you buying that only costs you pennies?

Every time I went to buy amazon storage, I was always disappointed by the price. Glacier is the only affordable one, but Backblaze is probably better storage for personal use anyway.

The internet can sometimes be a trying place, where the biggest fans are also the biggest critics and can’t think critically beyond pure hate.

I actually think federation will help this a bit, as breaking up fandoms into smaller better moderated pockets should help guide more civil discourse.

Oh yes, I forgot about negative values.

Got his friends out of Jail, quid pro quo.

Do you work at Boeing?

Because that would certainly explain some things.

The idea of remaking Oblivion is crazy.

Isn’t what everyone loves about this game the weird dialogue and presentation style? Hard to imagine how they remake this game and make everyone happy with the final result.

Whatever reason they don’t isn’t a very good one when there’s already excuses being made around AT proto not being scalable beyond a single app.

ActivityPub works today and we are using it right now. There’s basically no incentive to make a new protocol if you aren’t willing to support more than 1 platform that uses it.

I’m not even a bluesky hater, but you have to question why they’re choosing to reinvent the wheel other than disliking the lack of agency that comes with making a (essentially) proprietary protocol. You have to wonder if they ever truly plan to federated at all or if it’s all just lip-service.
