My overall point is that anyone who doesn't want the Omarchy Arch experience can just use ordinary NixOS. Nothing that Omarchy provides is important, and many of the "philosophy" choices directly conflict with NixOS' sys

It's interesting to see a push for banning superintelligence before anyone can agree on a definition for superintelligence.

How much time? 5 years? 10 years? 100 years? The average user doesn't make principled decisions around what hardware they use, the software they buy or the services they use. We have billions of Chinese phones and Windows laptops as pr

Speaking personally, I'd buy like 4 Nvidia GPUs and then serve as many customers as I could off that hardware.

It would be much harder to deny it if any of you were capable of describing the risks. The current discussion is a national-scale Handwavium mine.

Overall I agree with you, but I'd be wary of taking these numbers at face value. For instance, $20b of America's $65b aid contribution comes from a loan that's repaid by selling off sanctioned Russian assets. Many of the weap

~85% of the things they mentioned were Mac-exclusive software, so that's more of a question for yourself than the greater FOSS community.

Apple's PCC standard supports Linux. It's just that Apple doesn't, so Apple Silicon plays second fiddle to Grace ARM cores and TPU hardware in the datacenter market. Nothing prevents Apple Silicon from competing with Nvidia

Not anything - you can use XBMC or Jellyfin and have a certain degree of control over your frontend. Apple's big problem is that whatever they say, goes. If they decide to partner with Hulu for advertisements, you have no escape hatc

Now you're trusting Apple to not enshittify your TV with a firmware update. Even modern set-top boxes are so awful that I understand why everyone moved on to phones/computers.

Do you work at Apple, or collaborate with them on a professional basis like the car manufacturers do? The classic "oh but Apple's whitepapers say this" shtick is a non-contribution to the discussion.

Makes you wonder who's choice it was to launch a half-finished rocket. AMD and Intel's rockets sit on the launch pad with GPU/CPU drivers shipped for Linux before T-10.

We all know what this means, but few of us have the courage to say it - we must immediately halt all research on regular expression. None of us know how it works and it has terrorized us for too long.

Caveat: The only major exceptions remain full DCP support and the GPU, which we will have more news on in the coming months. Do not expect performant or power-efficient 3D acceleration right now.
