When the federal reserve prints money you, as a commoner, don't see a dime of it. The federal reserve only transacts new capital (because its not just raw bank notes, its financial securities in general) into a select cartel of nationa

The idea won't stop so long as its a useful scapegoat to distract from the exact mechanism you described that creates the real inequality. Though its worth adding that in a stateless system capital would concentrate and accumulate beca

They went that way for a reason, though. All the Xorg window managers (Mutter, KWin, etc) largely became behemoth projects in their own right to fill holes in X that could not be easily fixed universally. Since those projects were already f

picarto.tv is an art streaming site. If you looked at the top hundred streams there the artists are all probably studio grade, but maybe a tenth of them actually make a living off their art. A lot of people are making a lot of good stuff

Jabber needed reinventing. XMPP grew and thrived in the early 2000s and died as every participant fragmented off to spin up a proprietary walled garden replacement. You then need something better than XMPP to fight back against that partiti

Good thing said hacker culture spent 15 years buying inflated laptops and desktops from them ultimately for convenience to give them the market presence to do this in the first place. Its the same thing with Windows. People will preach all

"Killing it" is relative. Krita is roughly 500k LOCs of code proper. The KDE ki18n library that is one of its primary dependencies which extends Qts internationalization faculties is... about 7k LOCs. Almost all of Kritas immediat

It also comes at the cost of the entrenched business interests, both in raising their taxes and rolling back their regulatory capture, that bought all their election campaigns off. Ultimately politicians on both sides walk a tightrope of ho

They should be releasing these products at auction until demand falls to their MSRP. The amount of money Nvidia, AMD, etc leave on the table looks substantial. I could easily have seen the bidding wars on the first supply of 3000 series GPU

Look on the bright side, if Intel had continued as planned we would be looking at a 10700k as the $500 best mainstream socket cpu... with 4 cores.

Intel's out is to actually bring their 7nm node to market. Until then they are a sinking ship and they are certainly well aware of that. 10nm was / is a disaster failure and even if could somehow fenagle it into a usable state by

Kernel 5.9 seems to have finally made the 5700XT stable for me. Since 5.6 the crashes have gotten less frequent per release, but I haven't had one in almost two weeks since this latest kernel.

Self-hosted Matrix works fine and great. You can host either just a server, Riot (Element now), or both. You can then use any client you want with your server or any other.
