I wonder about these fuckers, like what is wrong with them. I totally understand theorising about this crap, it wouldn't be the first time I'd been down a line of thought purely thinking about "how could I maximise this" or "how could I solve this problem" but at some point I take a step back and "wait no, this is a horrendous idea" occurs to me. And then there's this twat who thinks "oh yeah, we should extract as much money from paying customers as possible and then we'll do it in other industries" and says it like they think everyone is going to think it's a good idea.

Risc v is an instruction set architecture not a chip design, the actual hardware implementation of any given risc v processor won't necessarily be open source and available to all, it's just a guarantee that if the spec is implemented then code compiled for risc v will run on a RISC V processor.

China has had access to x86 for years, they've not been able to implement a chip on par with current gen AMD or Intel chips.

In what way does it pose a big security flaw? And what are you basing the thought that the USA are slowing down development?

Genuinely curious, is it just as a side effect of appearing to come from an EU server that means you trigger automated privacy systems? Or is there a legal basis by which you can say "I routed this through an EU server therefore I'm subject to EU privacy law" (maybe there isn't even a difference)

I've no real preference so long as my PC starts stuff. The reason I avoid flatpaks is because I have at some point acquired the habit of anything I install that's not an appimage I pretty much launch from the terminal and I remember trying flatpaks and them having names like package.package.nameofapp-somethingelse and I can't keep that in my head.

For a WD Red? Get that shingled magnetic shit out of my NAS.

I doubt it's a recent thought, knowing civil engineers, they're absolute perverts when it comes to concrete.

It might, but correct me if I'm wrong here (not a USer) but isn't the military/GI bill a huge tool for social mobility in the US?

Chinese curry, however, is a British invention, bizarrely.

You can reduce anything like that if you want.

Italian food is tomatoes, meat and pasta or tomatoes, meat and bread.
