Yeah, that’s absolutely valid. But you run into the same problems again, what the hell is an ostree? Would ask the average gamer. Even some newer changes to bootc will make rpm-ostree unnecessary in the future. Flatpaks are not mandatory even. You could run bluefin or bazzite entirely on appimages.

At least the term cloud native is standardized by the cloud native computing foundation, it has a long story, it’s already known or familiar to a lot of people. And the most important, I think, it is technology agnostic. Even if docker dies and another tech takes its role, or if kubernets are replaced with something else, or even is rpm-ostren is no longer used, cloud native still means the same thing. As for bad smells, that’s just language, words can mean many things at once, we just live with it.

Weren’t those accessories just wrist straps?

I’m sorry, but it is a software engineering term. Maybe not from the area you are familiar with, but cloud native was the raging buzzword…about 10 years ago on the server side. Now it’s just a standard way to develop software and it’s part of the common parlance. It is the philosophical background, if you will, of snaps, flatpaks, kubernetes, docker, pods. I mean, the entire business model of AWS and dozens of cloud providers, data centers, mass hosting solutions, saas, etc. is based on the cloud native idea. You use the term and everyone in the room knows exactly which principles and development pipeline you’ll use.

Just like all language, it is just a shortcut to convey a complex meaning. Like, I don’t know what distro QE stands for. But that’s not my area of expertise. I bet there’s a good reason it is abbreviated and that you use it on your résumé. It might convey something to a recruiter or not, about what your general expertise and skills could be. Same here, it’s just a term that describes the important and distinctive part of the project. Because for everything else there’s nothing out of the ordinary on bazzite, not even the gaming stuff. The makers don’t even like to call it a distro because they use other people’s distros. What’s unique is the delivery pipeline and the config, and that sounds even worse, marketing wise. I’ll share you some interviews later.

This is an interview with Jorge, who was around here on the thread earlier answering questions.

And here’s an interview on the fedora podcast with bazzite makers.

It looked like they were mimicking cars to me, not mice. Not saying that it wouldn’t be a cool concept if it has an optical sensor. But they didn’t show any visual feedback to imply they were controlling any kind of cursor. If that was the implication, it’s obvious it was a rushed marketing piece.

I think that’s still the DS. The Switch got close, but didn’t beat it, and now that attention is on the Switch2, it probably won’t.

Which mouse thing? they seem to be exactly all the same inputs the Switch 1 already had.

Wait until I tell you about this weird concept, the zero…

I’m not attacking your experience. Good for you, keep enjoying it. I’m just saying that it is not universally good for everyone, it would do us all good to avoid erasing other’s experiences or invalidating their emotions.

I also didn’t say it is creepy to see what your friends post. I’m saying that it is creepy that Facebook gets to see everything you do in your personal life. Remember that meta trains AI on what you post. At least with messaging you can use end to end encryption if you want to.

Maybe it’s just me, but that always struck me as a theater of connection, not actual connection. I know all my friends kids, even those who live abroad. Not because of an internet social network, but because we actually talk to each other on the regular, and share pictures and video calls, directly, personally. Not informally and creepily through a capricious algorithm. My good wishes to my friends and family on special occasions go directly to them, we don’t need a middle man to choose when and where they are going to see those things, and I don’t need to perform connection for people I barely talk to. Remember that the flip side of the coin is that social networks cause isolation by making all interactions feel impersonal and distant. Facebook literally caused a loneliness crisis amongst young people, who felt compelled to compete for attention and approval, distorting their expectations, altering their sense of self-worth, exposing them to abuse. Internet social networks have a very dark side.

From kids perspectives it is different. For young people anyone over 25 is old, solidly adult, not “with it”, washed, etc. Contrasts that with almost 70% of tiktok users are under 24, with over 50% of creators in the 18 to 24 range. That’s solidly a young people social network. Facebook is in comparison made of old people. Most young people who engage with Meta do so through Instagram, and have a Facebook account because IG nags them to create one. But they aren’t going there or spending any significant amount of time engaging with Facebook itself. Facebook follows the global age distribution more closely, but users and active users engaging are entirely different things.

It is proprietary, only the Authenticated Transfer protocol is open. Thus far saying it is decentralized is a controversial topic, depends on the definition of dencentralization. A regular user can only hope to host a Personal Data Server, without any real or consequential power over the network, though. Relays are not practical to be hosted by anyone but huge companies. And even then, the content and data is still under absolute power of Bluesky.

For example, if a Mastodon server decides to censor something and you don’t agree with said decision, you can change servers and still access the content and participate on the Activity Pub stream. But, if BlueSky decides to censor you or someone else, you are out of luck. Even if you host you own server, the canonical repository of the network activity is under absolute power of BlueSky.

You could host your own AT network, but it is not clear how or even if it will be able to interact with other AT networks or the canonical BlueSky network.

It also differentiates it from Bluesky. It was just Twitter’s endeavor to spearhead decentralization, just like Threads. Jay Graber has Bluesky’s users by the balls and at their whims just like Musk has Twitter. Anything proprietary and for profit will always eventually enshittify. Threads was born already enshittified and Bluesky is on the early part of the curve.

I love this graph because of how succinctly it summarizes info. But I also hate this graph because it is missing like 10 or 15 other women he has dated of several ages that break the neat pattern. Also, it hides how only like two of those relationships were truly serious, the rest are gossip and tabloid speculation from having seen him “next to them”. It is all very speculative. He does have a weird thing for younger women, but I think that part of it is that most single women on his social circle are going to be aspiring and upcoming super models.

It could also be that they still aren’t that emotionally mature and when they turn 25 they realize what a weird situation they are in and thus leave him. I do think it has to be a mutual agreement. It’s too tight to be a coincide and thus far Leo has never been in any scandal or negative comments about the relationships and he is still friends with a lot of them. So, it’s weird, but not in a “creep abuser” kind of weird. I just think he is emotionally stunted from so much fame and power from an early age. It fucks up social development.

DiCaprio has a ton of power and draw in the biz. Chalamet is a starting star. Sure is younger, more attractive and also a great actor, but still doesn’t have the money and influence that DiCaprio possess.

It’s the same story as with all of VR. People don’t like to strap shit to their faces, or anywhere else in their bodies. We barely tolerate watches. Every single person who wears glasses would drop them in a second if any other viable and sustainable alternative shows up. People who use and love VR put up with the fact they have to strap stuff to their faces. 3D cinema failed financially because people didn’t want to have to use simple basic glasses. Not everyone can tolerate a third of a kilo on their heads for too long.

It’s way too heavy for that. Imagine that thing while operating for several hours. It’s a sure way of getting neck pain. Early laparoscopic optics used lightweight visors directly on the face, doctors were extremely weary. The tech was dropped almost immediately, instead they now project the image on a big TV screen. The Vision Pro is a non-starter at a surgery room, or even as a remote control for robotics.

There are ways of testing for these things that doesn’t involve millions of dollars in marketing events (they did flew a bunch of tech influencers to Cupertino) and millions more in manufacturing (factories are expensive as hell). Apple admitted themselves that the number of sales was even lower than their already limited expectations.

You won’t bend anything. If properly installed you should be able to just pick the CPU up and remove it without moving the case at all. The idea of socket is that they’re all the same regardless of motherboard manufacturer. I looked it up and there’s nothing special, particular or unique to your motherboard. Just follow the proper procedure.

The AM5 is a frictionless socket. So, beyond the force frame, there’s nothing holding the CPU in. Remove the heatsink though, as the heatsink is (ideally) bolted to the motherboard and not glued to the CPU. If you as much as tilt the case the CPU should come off loose, provided you lifted the cam lever and the force frame.

Here’s a diagram. The hole walls around the chip shouldn’t matter at all. You can put whatever thin plastic lever around and lift it without any issue. Even with your bare nails. This is what it should look like completely open.
