I was going through Pine64’s page again after I found the latest KDE announcement. With that said, I seem to see a lot of issues with firmware on the Pine, whilst the Librem is just plain out of budget for me.

These TVs can capture and identify 7,200 images per hour, or approximately two every second. The data is then used for content recommendations and ad targeting, which is a huge business; advertisers spent an estimated $18.6 billion on smart TV ads in 2022, according to market research firm eMarketer.
that’s one of the reasons i think Lenovo has won the laptop war, they include all operating systems and make it very easy to install any on your device, i love Ubuntu a lot, and chromeOS too
Still haven’t gotten the camera working. They seem to load up their custom firmware in their Ubuntu build but I wanted Arch btw. Also have some issues with recovering from sleep but can’t say for sure if it’s hardware/driver related.
Non-Linux related, it’s only got 2 USB-C ports for external connectivity. Temperatures also seem to be all over the place. All might be forgivable if the keyboard wasn’t basically a flat sheet of plastic where your fingers can’t tell the keys apart.
Chef in a small town in a small town in Montana made ham hocks as a special. IIRC, he said that shit was slow cooked overnight for like 14 hours. I’ve never had pork that good since.
Article is basically “Finland’s Minister of European Affairs Anders Adlercreutz speculates on things.”
“I’m not the sea captain. But I would think that you would notice that you’re dragging an anchor behind you for hundreds of kilometers"
I’m also not a sea captain that has no idea how a container ship would act if it were dragging an anchor.
“If I as a captain would have done something that the Chinese government wouldn’t approve of, then I would be concerned about returning with my boat to China”
So you’d go fugitive and leave everything you know over what might be an industrial accident?

We don’t have to look too deeply into history to find parallels to this kind of worldview. Simply put, it is the worldview of colonialism: it sees both nature and other people as domains to be conquered and exploited for “growth”.
There’s a lot in that manifesto I agree with, but man does he really try hard to intertwine unlimited growth capitalism and the benefits of technology without actually drawing any lines between them. Being optimistic that technology is and will be a net benefit to humanity sure as fuck doesn’t mean I believe that we “grow or die.” And of course, he’s speaking economically, not like figurative growth of mind and culture.
Our present society has been subjected to a mass demoralization campaign for six decades – against technology and against life – under varying names like “existential risk”, “sustainability”, “ESG”, “Sustainable Development Goals”, “social responsibility”, “stakeholder capitalism”, “Precautionary Principle”, “trust and safety”, “tech ethics”, “risk management”, “de-growth”, “the limits of growth”.
This demoralization campaign is based on bad ideas of the past – zombie ideas, many derived from Communism, disastrous then and now – that have refused to die.
Though this is dumb as fuck. Spent the entire time arguing that economic and technological systems are somehow inherently beneficial but somehow these systems are evil. Completely ignoring that they’re all human constructs that have no inherent benefits.

“We don’t have teachers,” said Alpha private school cofounder MacKenzie Price. “Now, what we do have is a lot of adults who are in the room engaging with these kids, working as coaches. So they’re helping the kids get clear on what are some goals that they’re working on, what are they doing academically? What are they interested in? How can we really turn on that spark for learning?”
So they have teachers, they just aren’t calling them that. Maybe they’re not specialized or have the proper training, but they’re still acting as teachers. Probably trying to fuck over the trained teachers though. That’s our national sport.
