I think a lot of folks are going out of their way to misunderstand what happened. Yes there are other similar projects and containers. No, none come from a long established COMMUNITY RUN PROJECT. This is something akin to the difference between VirtualBox and OpenBSD’s vmd. Ones a product with a “free” tier, the other is a community project.

Well as they say, freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. I recommend arming yourself and carrying a concealed handgun.

We’re already cool with the Chinese using forced child labor to make our tech toys and cheap goods. What’s a little genocide thrown in the mix?

Here in the US it seems practically as bad. And the Internet is just as bad - big tech’s stuffed with DSA activists - Marxists - who create lists of wrongthinkers to share with people like The Atlantic Group and Joan Donovan.

Why is it my job to be “fair” to some giant corporation? This isn’t some person we’re talking about.

Remember the CTS Labs thing where some Israelis from across the hall from Intel’s facility there did a giant smear job on a fake AMD vulnerability and then Bloomberg picked it up? The same Bloomberg who sells little information services which people are supposed to rely on as conveying factual information?

It’s useful to me, FireFox’s arbitrary and capricious changes have angered legions of former fans who either now barely tolerate it, or who moved on.

IceCat 68 here, never “upgrading.”

It never even matched tape, in terms of blank media or devices sold yearly even at its peak even in Japan.

If you look at her Twitter history you can see she’s a big fan of political activism in the workplace, something that more and more companies are treating as both toxic and unprofessional. Virtue signaling on Twitter almost seems to be a requirement if you’re one of these activist people employees, so it’s kind of tough to demonstrate your performative woke-ism to your legions of fans yet keep the fact that you intend to use your job as a social activism platform secret all at once.

Go ahead and browse her Twitter. She’s toxic and rude.

Minidisc was a HUGE commercial flop, with a paltry number of releases. It found utility in some pro audio racks but in no nation did it ever come close to replacing DAT in pro audio applications, or cassette tapes for music copying or distribution.

Why was 3M storing their data on Volkswagen’s servers? /s

Do people load remote images in 2021?

You’re kidding, right? This flies contrary to what I’ve seen. Anyway Newberg is a suburb of Hillsburrito at this point.

So what you’re saying is, run Haiku on a Pentium 4?

As an Oregonian I’m a little disgusted with social activists in Portland couching their impending rape of many neighborhoods across the state as YIMBY when this policy was designed to attack rural Oregon specifically.

When you get mystery people screeching at you for speculating, you’re getting a confirmation that there’s something to speculate about.

The US government has 60,000 full time shills telling you to take your meds and stop speculating. And studies have shown that they target their chidings.

It’s healthy to speculate about these types of issues. In fact, it’s required. Shadow Brokers fiasco showed us that our overseer class can’t keep their spy tools under control. So why not speculate? I doubt it can be taken too far, my glowing friend.

Why artificially? People move into single family dwelling neighborhoods because they have lower crime and better schools. There’s nothing artificial about selecting the best environment for yourself and your family.

Is it necessary to artificially editorialize when you’re making what is, at its root, a thinly veiled socio-political point?

It’s as helpful as speculating on their nature in any other way. People get wide eyed and excited at the concept of intergalactic or ultra-dimensional “aliens” yet scoff at the simple idea that they’re just demons. Both require a mountain of unproven assumptions, why’s one worse than the other?

I happen to know, of course.

I used BeOS as my main OS for something like two years back in the day, and recently I tried out Haiku. It’s quite stable and has a modern browser, emacs, and our favorite compiler. It’s also so alien that I doubt there are exploits around for it.

Aliens are demons, they don’t need special machines to fly through the air and probe people’s butts in the middle of the night.

Lefty tech geeks are going to become poisonous as time goes on. You’re at work to work, not to wheedle and your job is not a platform for whatever social causes the local DSA chapter’s into this week.

Nobody ever, ever does.

This was the same family who laughed at the opioid crisis they caused and called addicts “pillbillies.”

Makes sense, it’s only a matter of time before the Intel Management Engine is exploited. Or perhaps it already has been.

Facebooks a disgusting company filled with icky people but they have produced the occasional good bit of research,

What a neat topic, as a ham I’m interested in all this stuff.

Did you read it?

That’s the wrong answer and always has been. You don’t need to store your entire video in RAM to edit it, and never have. I’m sure you can find many descriptions of how it actually works without having to guess but 4K video processing and editing has been done for decades and decades now on computers with barely Apple Watch grade CPUs. George Lucas was using an EditDroid to edit 35mm film through the generation of edit lists on a computer controlling a Laserdisc player. The computer had very limited RAM, IIRC 16MB which was extravagant at the time.

The editing process for the average YouTube ‘content creator’ may consist of previewing a bunch of effects and transitions and animated floating text in real time until they think they’ve hit the right viral load but in practice professional editing is still done by the composition of edit lists from preview material.
