What are you on about? Yes they made sure their gadgets were easy to use, but Apple and Jobs were the pinnacle of “locking you in” on their ecosystem for the profit of it. Sure they weren’t as careless about users when compared to Microsoft but they weren’t too favourable of you using anything else. They invented this stuff.
Yes exactly. These companies hold rights for far too long in the hopes they can “milk that cow” at any chance they have. The products of these (and many others) companies are electronic waste for many after a while and so normal copyright laws shouldn’t hold for them, it’s just too wasteful.
That’s because these consoles and source code are not always compatible. To make them it would cost them time, money and the compromise to maintain them.
I would rather these companies to be forced to open source their older hardware and source code, so the community could do something with them and not have all the hardware laid to waste. Or at least support the development of emulators
Public attention to the matter of climate change. Sorry that I didn’t spell it out for you.
Yes I got that but my point still stands, and you’re still contradicting yourself.
Care to answer my question though? Because if you have not a single idea what form of protest could actually sway the people you claim to want to reach, we can just as well continue with the cornstarch
You should read my last paragraph slower then.
keep public attention high
There it is. You want attention no matter if it’s positive or not. Which type of support do you expect to gather by vandalising monuments? Encourage public debate by vandalising monuments?
Normal protests, even if “angrier” would be better than this. Earn peoples’ trust and respect
Ok so what is the tactic here? They are vandalising a monument for what end if not attention? Talk me through the reasoning
We are trying to make people change the way they live and act, of course most of them will find any excuse to not do it. The “any attention is good” way of doing things is a far right tactic and shouldn’t be used. It gives them the perfect excuse to not align with the beliefs and just maintain their ways.
It’s not BS it’s reality. Especially for older generations, but not only, the way other people perceive them and their beliefs is important. If by supporting vegetarianism, climate advocacy, et. al they will be perceived as supporting these types of actions they won’t do it. Is it stupid? Absolutely, but it’s reality and a demographic of people you won’t be getting for your cause and for climate we can’t afford to lose credibility and supporters.
With this lack of nuance and understanding is how the left loses voters to the far right, and how activists lose supporters they can’t afford to lose
Negative reactions. I don’t know anyone who identifies with these movements and actions, on the contrary. As someone who’s trying to convince relatives to eat and act more sustainably, I feel it’s an uphill battle because they don’t want to side with these actions.
You’re not being an activist, just an asshole and not just to the people you want to be an asshole to
What do you even mean as serious contender? I’ve been using Linux for almost 15 years without an issue on CPU, and I’ve used it almost only on very modest machines. I feel we’re not getting your whole story here.
On the other hand whenever I had to do something IO intensive on windows it would always crawl in these machines
Great, I’ll be a bit absolute and say that if a corporation doesn’t want to use my GPL code I see it as a good thing, corporations tend to be soulless leeches.
I was caught by surprise and for some reason this joke clicked so much that I laughed for a while. Kudos
Same for me, but still no shipping for my country, so I just bought a used T490 which will serve my needs for 4 years and then I’ll go for framework; hopefully they are still kicking by then. If shipping was available I would for sure have gone for their 13’’ laptop even though it’s much more expensive and powerful than I need for personal use.
Thanks for your answers. I wasn’t able to get what I wanted to work but that’s because the device used broadcast for discoverability which doesn’t work through subnets. I pivoted to something else
Or perhaps it will come from the right? Undefined behaviour is the magic word
Can you point out exactly what is misrepresented and lies?
Religion is the word you’re looking for.
I’m currently looking for a 13’’ computer (or a small 14’'), I’d love to support Framework as they are exactly what I’m looking to support… But, they still don’t ship to my country and I don’t want to spend so much for a laptop (and I don’t need very modern features on a personal machine).
This means I’ll end up buying a used ThinkPad to serve my needs for the next 4/5 years. Though, If they did ship to my country I would be spamming my employee everyday to buy them.
“Ghost Of Perdition” enters the room …
I don’t buy that at all. If you read about Apollo, and before that, you’ll see that simply this stuff is hard and many times you have things “half-assed” and just take the risk. Another case is the Space Shuttle…
With that said I think Boeing has been too unreliable for manned space flight. I don’t trust much the “we’re just taking time to gather more data” and this to me is the bad part about private companies: they have no compulsion to be truthful to the public.
