GitHub lost its way right around the time it was bought by a large corporate entity. Had they remained independent I have no doubt it'd be a very different story.

The thing here is I doubt many people care that it’s a little slower. The price point makes it an excellent computer without a decent operating system. The alternative is a crappy computer with a horrible operating system.

Oh yeah no... its still terrible even without all the spyware. First experience of Windows 11, trying to download a file through firefox caused my 18 core 10980xe to have the entire UI freeze for the full time the download was going. Revert

Funnily it probably runs Windows better than the typical corporate spyware burdened x86 laptop.

Open Source is not Free Support, the sooner this reality sets in (accelerated surely by AI spam) the sooner we get to the happy place.

It’s the taxi app wars all over. Yes Claude is great. But how many people are going pay once the subsidies are over? Like uber I believe current pricing is heavily subsidized by capital investment. The investors likely believe the bot with

I which no one cares about. As a 1% player having a convoluted C++ centric stack when the 99% player has something different e ouch porting requires critical thinking means no one gives a damn about it. ZLUDA has more interest that SyCL and

Intel focused on SyCL which not many people seem to actually care about. It looks far enough removed from CUDA you’d have to think hard about porting things as well. From what I understand ROCm looks very close to CUDA.

It's bad it really is, I got fed up and rolled back to windows 10 when I tried downloading a file and the whole UI locked up until the file finished. On my own personal high performance desktop with tons of memory, cpus, etc etc. Never

Perhaps its because SpywareOS is being written by Copilot with zero supervision by a bunch of monkeys with keyboards bashing away? WorstOS ever.

Claude is ok. Gas town seems like a Claude multiplier. I’m not sure more Claude is what I’d even want! Not sure I love what it does all the time, it tends to fit whatever box you setup and will easily break out if you aren’t veeeery specifi

If you can’t understand ownership I’m baffled how you believe you can write well behaved C or C++. Rust at least embeds this information in the API with checks. C and C++ are doc comments at best.

C++ you either use templates or classes and virtuals. In either case the caller doesn't get to decide.
