While I’m always excited to see RISC-V inch closer to the mainstream I also feel like betting a company on it right now is pretty fucking riscy.

Price hikes for what, Lenovo? I’m still waiting for them to send me my Legion Go S SteamOS edition that I preordered on day one.

Edit for context: it was supposed to be in my hands May 25th.

Well, that sucks that you’ve had problems, but it doesn’t match up with my experience of using homebrew over the last decade. I can’t think of a time outside that one time they changed the install paths where homebrew has caused an issue.

I went from Linux to a Mac for work years ago. Install home brew on day one and the experience overall will be much better.

The terminal on the Mac is surprisingly good. I felt right at home with it very quickly. Xcode comes with cli tooling to build software without a lot of messing with it and finding library dlls (looking at you, windows)

The window placement philosophy takes some getting used to (see yabai for a viable tiling window solution though) and the key modifiers will frustrate you (though I eventually ended up liking cmd a lot).

Overall though I feel like Mac gets a lot of hate where it’s not deserved. I still hate their business model, and my personal laptop is Linux for that reason, but the product itself is fine.

AI is not the whole cloud, it’s a fraction of the cloud

And yet it uses so much more energy per capita. This is not like a secret, dude.

Do you have any idea of the amount of water a datacenter consume ?

No. Nobody has exact figures because there is a mountain of intentional obfuscation hiding it. We know that it is a tremendous amount of water because we can estimate and we can see the data of towns literally going into extreme droughts right next to data centers, but is is suspiciously difficult to get actual numbers. This should tell you a lot.

Tell me where there is any proof this is meta fault

Did… did you not actually watch the video? The video very clearly answers this. Like, multiple times.

Go explain to these people why “bigger DCs are actually better”: https://youtu.be/DGjj7wDYaiI

Here’s the MIT Press detailing the ridiculous carbon and water impacts of data centers: https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/the-staggering-ecological-impacts-of-computation-and-the-cloud/

“AI” is not worth this.

Sure, some of them are much bigger and more environmentally destructive.

So this is Jenkins except it guzzles water and ruins the lives of people near data centers?

Guess there’s no accounting for stupid.

No, I am 100% certain they know that the vast majority of people don’t care and some people really really hate it, but nobody actually enjoys it.

SC has so much potential. There is real magic in some of the game they have produced; the aesthetic is fantastic and the fundamentals are solid… all of which makes what they’re doing to run the game into the ground so fucking disappointing.

That… that is the punchline. It being the same punchline is the punchline of this joke. It’s commentary as humor.

First off: hate and spam aren’t mutually exclusive, it can be both. Especially when, after reading the linked article, it’s pretty clear that this isn’t an isolated case of one email going out.

But more importantly: hate is never a non-issue; you may not have been bothered but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have an impact on other’s lives. Tolerating hate is so very dangerously close to acceptance here and we as a society simply can’t allow that to become normal.

Codeberg taking the time to tell us that this was wrong and they don’t tolerate their systems being used to spread hate is good.
