And I’m talking about the wide spectrum of computing related topics beyond operating systems - from lithography to abstract research topics to data center architecture, all of whom are experts in their field.

Seriously. I feel like the people I know who know the most about computing have the least preferences for a distro, if they even use Linux at all.
okmko@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027)1·17 days agoCongrats. I love the green color. This is exactly the route I plan to do. I’m almost thinking about just uninstalling Win10 and switching to Mint right now.
I refused to play any games that relies on kernel level binaries like FortNight and League.

(for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027)2·17 days agoOkay I just read Debian’s manual about UEFI so I’m basically now an expert. And I feel like even if Microsoft refuses to sign, there should still be a demand for mobos that can either add new keys or disable SecureBoot.

okmko@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Visitors dropped for a 6th straight month in Las Vegas as head of tourism insists Sin City isn't dead1·19 days agoMAGAs unironically call Trump the God-Emporer, as in the God-Emporer of the Imperium of Mankind, but they ironically got instead the God-Emporer Leto II and sentenced us to the Golden Path - tyrannical aceticism, but also conditioning for a society.
Do we make it through a more resilient society, or do we get stuck in abject inequity for the foreseeable future.
okmko@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Visitors dropped for a 6th straight month in Las Vegas as head of tourism insists Sin City isn't dead2·19 days agoI remember learning about it a long time ago and thought it made no sense.
Then I went with a married couple who brought two kids and I still believe it even more. These college friends don’t drink, vape, weed, gamble and are basically non-religuous relugious people so it was a weird experience. We stayed in a casino hotel that allowed all of it, and we ended up only going to museums and dining… In the middle of a desert.
It’ll never be a definitive family destination.
okmko@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your SoftwareEnglish1·21 days agoI suppose that’s a good enough hand wave explanation.
I thought though, just purely for curiosities sake, that neurotransmitters are released by a voltage potential difference over some sort of gate caused by a flood of sodium ions (a chemical signal), and it’s not just a matter of conducting current. That means the cyberware has to somehow attach inside the axon and on the outside, across the gate to create that voltage difference. And that’s for one gate.
I feel like the more one thinks about this the more the name should be changed to 3077.

okmko@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Supreme Court formally asked to overturn landmark same-sex marriage ruling3·1 month agoI don’t think so. It seems like a specific case that creates a guidance for courts to follow US agency’s enforcement of a law, and that’s no longer the case, but IANAL.
I’m using stare decisis in the general sense in that it’s a quality of most western law systems, particularly US - past decisions and higher authorities take precedence.
But what happens when the highest authority makes bad-faith decisions?
okmko@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Supreme Court formally asked to overturn landmark same-sex marriage ruling11·1 month agoThere is no figurative boat to the rock anymore. Our laws are based on stare decisis and the highest authority of it is blatantly corrupt.
They can remove any sort of right and face no repercussions beyond strongly worded opinions from Sotomayor and Jackson.
okmko@lemmy.worldtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•Thank you Tim Apple, who by the way is looking a little pudgy6·1 month agoThat’s the part that soooooo many people underestimate. There’s a huge list of formerly “loyal” people who Trump tossed aside without a second thought. It’s not political maneuvering after you put a crown on the man’s head.

okmko@lemmy.worldto science@lemmy.world•“Red meat allergy” from tick bites is spreading both in US and globallyEnglish31·1 month agoYou forgot the obligatory, “Uh”.
Also, these Lone Star Ticks have probably unironically had the most impact towards mitigating climate change than anything us humans have voluntarily tried so far.
HuniePop is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. Out spawned so many clones because it was legitimately well made.
Oh no… Whelp that’s that. I’m officially old.
Sounds like the wrong thing is being fucked.

okmko@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Firefox is fine. The people running it are notEnglish19·2 months agoThis is like telling people that they are doing something wrong when they don’t “buy low and sell high” when they’re trading. Obviously. Issues with browser parity are born from a difficulty of the how and the when, not the what.
This might be completely off topic but when I was quite young I thought girldicks were a thing because I witnessed a particularly explicit anime or manga. I had something down there and why wouldn’t they?
What was more horrible was that it was my mother who corrected me after she laughed at something I had said (I don’t remember what I said and it’s not like I understood it enough to be embarrassed either.)
