We’ll have to agree to disagree there.

Came here to post the exact same thing, happy to see you had it covered

I was making 2 separate statements. 1. I agreed with the previous comment, 2. I opined that all Arthropods are bugs.

“Bug” is a colloquial term, so I was stating my personal, broader definition

This. Arthropods are bugs

Ehhh, kinda. Intel E-cores kinda throw off the balance a bit, but generally yeah.

Sidebar: that’s why the Penumbra games have excellent VR support now, for those interested in shitting their pants.

I totally agree. There are exceptions to every rule, but random people on the internet who you aren’t being paid to solve the problem for by a very large majority would benefit more from education than having their problem solved for them.

Teach a man to fish and all that.

But it is helping effectively.

It’s less efficient to learn how to do something than to have somebody who knows how do it for you, but it’s more effective to learn for yourself. Hard won knowledge is rarely lost.

Force push to the master branch or release branch, for one

Try using rusticl for your OpenCL implementation. It runs OpenCL on top of Vulkan, which is very well supported by Radeon cards.

Yeah, switching to LTA craft with solar panels and batteries is way more feasible

Chromebooks use a customized Linux kernel with often proprietary code included from the manufacturer. Same thing as Android in that sense.

Upstream Linux, using mostly open-source code, does not have these bits of proprietary code in most cases. This means that ARM devices are frequently missing some drivers under mainline Linux, so things like TouchPad, wifi, or even GPU might be partially or fully unsupported.

Armbian Linux supports a large number of devices using mainline Linux with some tweaks to it pre-configured, but typically you’re not going to get every feature of the hardware supported until several years after its release (like 5+).

x86 on the other hand usually will just work out of the box, especially Lenovo laptops.

I mean, sometimes it’s that and other times it’s just that the “stupid” feature was actually in high demand.

Right, but in Japan it’s legal for businesses to racially descriminate against both potential customers and potential hires. During the height of the COVID pandemic, many businesses had “No Foreigners allowed” signs due to the perception that COVID was spread by foreigners. In the US there’s lots of controversy over racism, but in Japan you don’t hear about it because it’s generally the accepted status quo.

In Japan, it has until recently been a legal requirement for trans people to undergo sterilization in order for their gender to be legally recognized (which is also a legal requirement for trans people to adopt children there).

To be clear, I’m not saying the US is not xenophobic. What I am saying is that from an American perspective, Japan is even more so.

Japan is notably more xenophobic. No matter how long you live in Japan, even if you manage to get full citizenship (which even celebrities who have lived there for decades struggle with), you are never considered “Japanese” by the native-born Japanese people.

The USA on the other hand is comparatively easy to become a citizen of and has laws banning discrimination based on race and national origin for employers. A citizen is a citizen is a citizen. The only job in the entire country that requires you be born as a citizen is the POTUS.

You probably want EndlessOS

Exactly. I got extremely lucky on top of actively trying to game the system.

Only if you plan to let your career stall out at Senior Engineer.

I live in rural Pennsylvania but I work remotely for a San Francisco startup.

I get paid less than my coworkers who live in big cities, but more than any of my friends who live in my area except one who’s also a programmer.

Agreed, LXQT is the shit if you want a slow machine to go faster and look decent while doing it.
