  • Ban all (social) media that offers paid political advertisement at decix / BGP level 4 months prior to elections. Likely unpopular due to the high number of media addicts in society, but I bet it would be vastly effective.

    Probably would work to outlaw paid political advertisement on all channels with every violation doubling the fine, but this is not as reliable as the former, because of the “culture war” angle. Plus, it would get drawn out in court until after the election, so not a good solution.




  • With this new driver, system LEDs, audio LEDs, extra keyboard keys, keyboard backlight, and other features are working.

    And this over a year after this was released. Our whole office skipped this gen for new hardware because Linux support wasn’t ready. Additionally, reports were that performance on Linux was/is abysmal for the capabilities. Generally, I feel it was a mistake to prioritize all new ARM and AI CPUs for windows, with lagging and shit linux support until now, as mostly enthusiastic would-be customers are AI devs/researchers, and they often prefer some Linux variant as it “just works” with most tooling. The ‘normie’ office windows user does not give 2shits about locally accelerated inference. Why chipmakers fumbeled the ball so badly with the new AI accelerator / NPU CPUs is beyond me.



  • It would seem like that when reading news, but it’s really not that bad. Enshittification is an issue though, but mostly being driven by the us oligarchs worldwide. A lot of the outrage/opinion manufacturing “media-news” never becomes reality on the ground.

    The issue with nonsensical invasive surveillance tech is, logic and facts usually and eventually prevail, for instance backdooring systems for one group is backdooring for everyone, it just puts a huge target on your system and is ultimately ineffectual in its purpose, because the people of interest will adapt almost instantly (see examples “war on drugs”, “ending piracy”). In the end it is a losing battle, akin to trying to legislate wind to blow only in one direction.
