The guerrilla history podcast has a good series on the history of modern china. The Chinese History Podcast is also really good.

Europe is OK with going Huawei if Google and Apple keep up with their shit.

They should be OK with going Huawei and Xioami, but unfortunately they really want to remain America’s faithful dogs.

Yeah, it’s a huge vulnerability. Even when you do delete something, you can still see that something was posted.

I believe this would be illegal in Illinois, which regulates biometric data collection

Do you see how you’re being political here?

It’s more expensive than you think, and it’ll probably be VoIP even if you get it from a “normal” phone company

Terf island is controlled by nonces

Altman should release his chat logs

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

In other words, Linux is the most deployed kernel. But if you’re talking about the “linux OS” then you’re probably actually thinking of GNU/linux, which I don’t think is as widely deployed as windows (maybe I’m wrong? that’s why I was asking). Or, you can include all OS’s using a linux kernel, in which case you’ll include all androids, but that’s not what most people mean when they talk about linux os.

Most deployed Kernel, but not desktop OS right? I don’t want to, but I will post the gnu/linux copy pasta

I left your comments as unread so if I got sick of doing the Easyeffects fix, I could try out changing the sampling rate. But the problem just… went away. lol. IDK if an update fixed it or if the gods just blessed my graphics card, but the distortion is gone after a couple months of doing nothing.

Give it a rest, perv

So it’s a nazi propaganda machine with extra steps?

I’m surprised I can’t find any actual abacus input devices. Like, shouldn’t there be an abacus with usb that sends bytecode

If you’re in the US, you could point to the news. Even garden variety libs should be a little nervous about the increasing police state

Please don’t be silly. If you’re in the US, you should absolutely never be “interrogated” by police. Get a lawyer. Always. No matter how innocent and clever you are. You should be terrified of the police, not plagiarism machines.

As a kid, tho, I loved 9volts because they had the best connectors.

It’s the best connector because you can lick it

Also unsurprising that the stochastic parrot simulation is fucking up its mission of being a propaganda machine

Sometimes you need to enable something in the bios (virtualization? i forget what it’s called)
