I think Fedora’s COPR carries on the torch, besides Arch’s AUR. But generally, yeah, avoid PPA’s like the plague. It’s been garbage for years now. You’d be better off actually compiling the software yourself.

AMD is awesome ^^ they’ll rule the land of x86 for quire some while imho. But the problem of supporting hegemony is obvious.

AMDs upcoming GPUs are purportedly on par with NVIDIAs Maxwell, but as long as the prices are the same, we’re in the same boat.

Luckily the prices have been falling, largely because NPUs are replacing GPUs as the primary handler of AI workloads - since it’s more performative and saves on electricity costs.

But, in a “free market” competition mui importante.

Biden might not be the GOAT, but he sure is the scapegoat. Getting rid of political enemies 101.

…okay, so invest in Chinese GPU companies? Invest in Chinese GPU companies.

I’m speaking from personal experience here buddy, but I agree with you.

Hey, woa. The new “History makes great leader feel owies” law has been broken. People in uniforms have been dispatched to your location.

Incidentally, your Spotify has been scanned ahead of time and you’ve been found guilty of having 1938 counts of DEI music.

Also incidentally, you’ll get to ride the train line that has just been built! It goes straight to El Salvador.

Adding incident to incidentally, they have brand new showers that don’t even use water.

This has become so apparent that relations between Arabs and Jews have started to heal. It’s hopefully even more apparent that Israel is apart of soft US imperialism and geopolitical interests in the middle east.

Don’t get me wrong, certain Europeans powers are apart of it, but seeing calves being prepared in the US to be shipped to Israel for slaughter to fulfill some biblical wet dream has mega church vibes to it.

The same for fascists and nazis then too, right?

OoOooOO!! Someone likes a STWONG MAN :3 UwU You gonna suck Trump’s dick? That’s very LGBTQ+ of you…

Three of these can be heard on sight.

The problem with that idea is that the Dems have been about the status quo for so long that it’s literally why Trump won. People aren’t voting Dems because they went the “don’t rock the boat” route for so long.

The Dems need a reform.

He really is relying on Norwegians? Shit. Didn’t knew we had that much power. Who knew narcissism could be a political power point? Well, everybody, I guess…

Invest in metal stoves and big tents today!

…is this some sort of joke my Nordic brain can’t understand? I need to go hug a councilman.

Dumb as I am, I have a Pixel… the good thing though? Graphene OS is an option.

Oh thank God.

Why are you people so bad at reading, or are you just trying to misdirect?

You either missed the point entirely - or you’re trying to ignore it. But that’s why we use simple language and conveyance to dismiss such tomfoolery.

Pure ethanol… right? Pure ethanol is illegal to sell as a beverage. With me so far? But ethanol… is the effective ingredient in alcohol. Understood? Good.

You keeping a bottle and drinking it… is not the same as distributing it as a beverage in say a store, a bar, your grandma’s house, etc… Yes? We can’t make it illegal for you - that’s you in your private home - to destroy your body by drinking it yourself. Agreed?

But… if you then… go give that bottle to someone without informing them “hey bro, this is pure ethanol - this shit’ll burn your cornia”, and by neglecting to do so, they go blind when drinking it? That’s what we call wilful negligence - in legal speak.

If you do that, then you deserve time in prison for wilful negligence and causing bodily harm to someone. Right?

Or… are you some sort of psychopath? Or perhaps a libertarian? I’m a socialist libertarian, so let me know if you need to learn something about why law is still important and why causing harm to others - be it intentional or not - should be illegal. Here’s a hint: we still need licenses for running major industrial machinery for a reason.

This is precedent now. Wheeeeeeeee common law system.

Allow me to hit back. No. But by that token pure ethanol that can make you go blind should also be sold over the counter, right?

It sort of is a “nanny state”… or a welfare state. In any case, its to prevent deaths caused by dehydration. 60 is allowed, but everything upwards is not.

It’s really bad if the wrong person gets a hold of it too. Suddenly latent psychosis gets triggered - which could have been healed by itself over the years, but instead destroys a life that then will become a burden to their family and the welfare system. It’s also what could lead us right back to criminalization.

Most of the irresponsible stoners in this thread don’t get that, because that care only about themselves, but as a civilized society we can’t just let that stuff run rampant.
