This is needed. Servers need it, and it would be a nice feature to enable for personal systems. We would need to be able to build our own images with our own keys to really make this worthwhile. Especially with programs in my bin dir I’ve compiled or downloaded.

Do I trust Lennart to not do something asinine to turn this into a shit show? I do not. This would be better if it was someone who has security experience and system design cred.

The devs won’t optimize anything. Our problems are not their problems.

Optimization happens when people have time to sit down and reason about the code. A hardware crunch isn’t going to give people more time. The assembly line is going to run at the same pace regardless, and devs are going to churn out the same junk they always have.

It isn’t a lack of limited hardware holding them back. Old, junky hardware has existed since nearly the beginning of the information technology, so a hardware crunch isn’t going to affect anything.

Famously, Nvidia drivers contain hacks for lots of games. Nvidia takes the crappy games and writes work arounds into the drivers to make the games work.

We should. It’s a good abstractions for document conversion.

GPU drivers and DEs lagging behind, mostly.

Something like Fedora which releases newer code quicker will provide a better desktop/laptop experience. It’s the same reason other stable distros, like the EL distros, aren’t the best for desktops/laptops.

Historically, desktop applications would also be versions behind, but Flatpak really helps with this.

At this point, Debian is probably fine as a distro for a few year old computer that won’t be helped by fractional scaling. Pick a DE and install applications from Flathub.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣

It’s 2026, we can do whatever we want.

It’s a casserole with crust.

Bombs from Raytheon are environmentally friendly. Making war environmentally friendly is what Raytheon is all about. Raytheon a green company! 👍🏽

Indeed, they care to an extent. They have even devised tests to see how much they should care. They are very measured with their caring.

How is this applicable to the comment? Companies never figured out how to charge rent for those.

Devs see home computers as a free resource, and the burden is on the consumer to buy a computer which runs their software.

I have more sense than that. 😆

More like AOC isn’t a corporate Dem and full throated capitalist the way Hillary is.

… I don’t want to know. I want to like food.

Oh, wow. The FDA still exists.

Indeed. Gulags of work are more inclusive with a Dem. The boot is a wide boot crushing everyone.

Yep, but according to my girlfriend, I’m a misogynist when I mention how bad of a candidate she was. She also hates AOC on principle, so I’m not sure I shouldn’t get some different opinions.

Nah. Web devs will create even more bloated web pages to keep home computing in business.

For real though, most people don’t need that much computing power, and we reached the plateau 12 years ago. That’s why we’re seeing crypto and AI grifts happen. They recentralize decentralized systems. The elites are striking back.

You know the saying“information wants to be free; information wants to be expensive”? This is the expensive part where people try to horde knowledge by making it inaccessible to everyday people.

Going to second then poly thing. Gotta save money where possibly in this economy.

A-series would already be at a disadvantage due to being designed for iPhones and the design parameters that entails compared to the M-series.

The M-series Mac Pro was always for companies which were going to rack them and use them in render farms. Normal people was never its intended market. It was more of an Xserve successor.

Apple would need to design a different CPU for the Mac Pro, and the limited market doesn’t make it feasible. Descending the M-series CPUs from the A-series limits what the designs can do.

There are rumors of a CPU split in the Apple lineup. iPhone, iPad, iMac, Mac Mini, MacBook get the A-series, and MacBook Pro, Mac Studio. Mac Pro get the M-series. That would make sense, and might give them some room to expand the “Pro” procs.
