    The history of pondering started in the era of Gorgamel, during the second dynasty of the luke warm giants. Teridius the meticulous was decorating his garden, when he spotted a round, reflective object.

    As he sat down and started to stare at it he was spotted by a light catcher trying to steal the souls of the local faerie populace. This image was spread from mirrors to reflective ponds across the lands.

    Old Teridius had suddenly spurred on a trend that would take the wizard college by storm, and have the local witches covens giggling over whose orb was most shiney.

    And so ends this fake fantasy history lesson, largely because my team lead is banging on the stall door, telling me I’m not supposed to ponder the orb on company time. Screw you, Terry, it’s a mental health provision and you’re actively hindering it. Maybe you should ponder the orb - you creep.



  • Been using it for the last couple of weeks… because I am your king, king of the nerds, and also I run NixOS, because I’ve abandoned all prospects of having an actual life.

    That being said, it’s still buggy, still unstable, still lacking features… but, my god it is nimble and quick. Like my CPU and memory usage dropped substantially when I moved from Plasma. The keyboard workflow will maybe be a bit grading at first, as there’s no Alt+Tab.

    But… you use Super+up/down to move between workspaces, and Super+Left/Right to move between windows in a workspace - or windows inside a tab stack, and you can put any window inside a tab stack. Take that, Microsoft.

    Tiling is a mode you can turn on for all workspaces, or per workspace, but you can also float whatever window to be outside the tiles. Closing all windows on a workspace and moving to another one will automatically destruct that workspace, and the workspaces below will be pushed up.

    All in all, it’s a pretty great experience and I can’t wait to see everything hit alpha, as System76 is really pulling out all the stops for this one. The first fully Rust based DE is going to shake the Linux DE world, mark my words.




  • Funny how Trump is not apart of that list.

    He’s your classical New York neo-liberal. The worst kind of neo-liberal. A Raegen neo-liberal, who is - of course - the father of neo-liberalism, with his New Public Management and all that insane “eCoNoMiCaLly ReSpOnSiBlE gOvErNiNg”, or creating a troth for no-bid contracts for all your friends to come and suck at the tax payers teet as public services take nosedive in quality as bridges across the land crumble from old age - like Trump.

    I’m basically describing all US politics, and indeed European neo-liberalism in a nutshell (fuck you, Macron - and fuck the Torries). Republicans be like “NO ITS THE DEMS”, and then go around and do exactly the same fucking thing as they force Grindr to scale up their local infrastructure.

    *I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:

    goddamn neo-liberals, ESPECIALLY Raegen

    I wanna shove an HDMI up their asses with how they project so much

    Also, Harris 2024, because fuck you.



  • Wow, a prosecutor who worked under the “hard on crime” US laws? Say it ain’t so!

    The laws are dumb. Corporal punishment is dumb. It’s a fancy word for state sanctioned murder.

    Every year US states executes people who have been put through kangaroo courts with circumstantial evidence.

    This is a federal problem that has been part of US politics since the inception of CRT.

    Bail and bonds were just ways of preventing Freeman to actually make any money or lives for them selves so they would end up in prison chain gangs.

    Hey, here’s a great idea. Lift old laws that stifle economic development “in certain areas”, create more combined domestic and commercial areas, put money into public housing, and for the love of God

    reform the goddamn justice system

    Petition Harris even. Organise, FFS!


  • The RISC-V is an extensible ISA, so yes. All those vendor extensions are optional, when fabricating the processor, which can be replaced by other extensions over time.

    Both Intel and AMD have had vendor extensions in the designs that they no longer use, even ones that have been “retracted” (i.e whatever in the heck Intel is doing with their AVX extensions).

    But yeah, currently, there are a lot of proprietary extensions, which could still be declared as open hardware as well. So yeah.
