I agree. There is literally 0 reason to buy anything from Apple when there are much better and much cheaper options that are already well supported by GNU/Linux. I will never understand people who will go out of their way to waste money on the next big thing from Apple only to get Linux on it.

I would love for there to be a simple way to just interface with a graphics card directly on a low level w/o any vulkan/d3d/opengl crap in between. Just have the kernel map it to a file in /dev and to set it up and make it do stuff you just fopen() that file and write commands to it.

There are 64-bit Pentium IIIs?

Completely agree! I like to limit myself to HTTP 1.1 and any website I'll ever make will just be simple handwritten HTML with some CSS. I like to use elinks and xlinks for hypertext but in some cases -- like lemmy -- I'm unfortunately forced to use a bloated browser that supports JabbaScript and black magic (which makes no sense because online forums, message boards, blogs, wikis, etc. in the past all used to work without any JS). I like Gopher/Gemini a lot but I find it hard to discover interesting holes/capsules.

For a moment I thought "Did something big happen that I missed?" and then I watched the video. I'm always amazed by the stupidity of the average yankee.

Super cringe if real.

The "sit back and relax"-strategy really does work.

The stock market is basically gambling and designed to serve the bourgeoisie. Better to read theory than books on "how to make money".

By the early 2010s, at least two tycoons had seen their net worth approach that decabillion-dollar barrier, only to land in jail on corruption charges instead. That is not to say the charges were baseless, only that the choice of targets did appear to reflect a lingering, levelling tendency among China’s leaders.

In this new era, it’s dangerous to get too rich. Stories abound of the state launching investigations against this business figure or that financier. The pressure is drying up venture capital funds, scaring the young away from lucrative professions such as investment banking. The number of millionaires leaving China has been rising and peaked last year at 15,000 — dwarfing the exodus from any other nation.

xi pointing at the screen Hilarious shit. It's almost as if it's impossible to get rich through honest and ethical means.

I support this. I have a home server running 24/7 with more than enough storage and wouldn't mind seeding some prolewiki torrents.

Assuming web crawlers and Tor traffic are filtered out my guess would be in the range of 10 - 100 depending on the day.

The only possible glowop related to lemmygrad that we know of is Wenger/Wisconcom; Some guy from the US who claims to be Hoxhaist/Stalinist and calls this site and prolewiki "revisionist" because people here support the PRC. He lurks here and other places and has been actively attempting to infiltrate/wreck lemmygrad and prolewiki for over 2 years now. So far all of his attempts have hilariously failed, but for some reason he just never gives up. He might even be reading this very thread from a different account. I recommend "The Wiscon Files" for a deep dive.

Unless suddenly strange things start happening here on lemmygrad I think there is no need for this much paranoia (unless you're somehow a big threat to the imperial state).
