At this point the best thing that could happen to the PS5 is for people to find a reliable jailbreak. With Linux it would probably make a decent PC. In terms of specs the hardware is comparable to a Xeon based workstation from the early-mid 2010s.

Good point. All these streaming sites are inefficient by design. Even without the DRM the Server will have to encode the video and audio (or possibly even transcode them if the client only supports certain formats) before sending them to the client. And this happens on the fly every time anyone watches anything. If those streaming sites were all just a fancy looking file server that make you download the source video files directly (kind of like GOG does with video games) then that would greatly reduce energy consumption long-term.

QEMU is vastly superior. Supports a great amount of different architectures and KVM acceleration is painless. Plus it's not from Oracle.

It doesn't help that they keep deprecating and changing standard stuff every other version. It's like they can't make up their mind and everything may be subject to change. Updating to the most recent release can suddenly cause 10s or 100s of compiler warnings/errors and things may no longer behave the same. Then you look up the new documentation and realize that you have to refactor a large part of the codebase because the "new way" is for whatever reason vastly different.

Here is the linked thread for people who don't want to go to twitter:

Booker Ngesa Omole ☭:

There is no such a thing like sex work, period! Let's address the misguided communists who claim "sex work" is legitimate labor. This notion betrays the fundamental principles of Marxism and aligns with capitalist exploitation rather than challenging it.

In a patriarchal society, prostitution isn't just about humiliation—it's the highest form of exploitation, primarily affecting poor and working-class women.These women aren't "workers" in the traditional sense; they're victims of a system that commodifies their bodies.

The relationship between those who purchase sex and those who sell it is not one of equality. It's a relationship of oppression, where the powerful exert control over the powerless, perpetuating violence and exploitation.

To suggest that prostitution is anything other than the grossest form of exploitation ignores the brutal realities these women face: physical and psychological violence, poverty, and a society that views them as disposable.

Human beings should never be used as mere instruments for others' ends. The commodification of women’s bodies contradicts the Marxist principle that people should not be treated as commodities.

True communists must reject the capitalist narrative that seeks to legitimize prostitution under the guise of "sex work." Our fight is for a society where exploitation is abolished and where women are free from the shackles of patriarchy.

Anything less is a betrayal of our revolutionary ideals and a capitulation to the forces of reaction. We must stand firm against this dangerous rhetoric and fight for the liberation of all women from exploitation.

imo. people (especially comrades) should really consider using the fediverse.

This shit is exactly why I've been firmly avoiding anything "smart". If I can't run an OS/firmware on it that I compiled myself and have full control I don't trust it.

Family told me apparently german media talked a lot of shit about the former east german commie regime the other day. Gotta "remind" the peasants every once in a while I guess.

On distros w/o systemd there is always syslog-ng. s6 also has its own log system.

It's not necessary, but a good thing to have if something goes wrong and you want to debug/monitor something. It's really up to you and your needs.

Whenever I used macOS I felt very restricted, like as if I had to do real work but all I had in front of me was a toolbox full of plastic toys meant for children. It was NOTHING like GNOME, despite what many like to parrot. Compared to macOS, GNOME on Linux or BSD is SO much better in terms of workflow.

"Remove them from power" by vooting you mean right? Right?
