Actually to expand on this, you can kind of do the opposite, for example you can launder federated social media if that federated social also contains something people actually want. Then relying on network effect/cultural inertia to keep you relevant

My work just handed me a laptop then let me flash whatever distro I wanted onto it

Welcome to the club!

Ive kind of noticed how we essentially use fancy tech to solve problems we already have solutions for.

What I find interesting about the framing of this, aswell as how docker is framed as a whole, is that its essentially just the argument for static linking (So some extent also deterministic builds). You can get alot of the benefits of “shipping your computer” without needing an OS that supports cgroups and all this other stuff. Containers existed for a long time until docker was able to essentially push it as a packaging format. Now yes containers ARE useful but I think what we were really doing was trying to get rid of distro dependency management, but we could only do it through the lens of a fancy new technology.

Maybe if we bring back Bernie math we convince Donnie we deported all the immigrants already?

At Mercedes-Benz, we are confident enough to know that we have some of the best and most brilliant engineers in the field, and at the same time, we are always curious and keen to learn from everyone out there. So please forgive us if we don’t always get everything right with regard to Open Source from the start. As a company whose core business has not traditionally been software development, we still have a lot to learn, in particular from those of you who have already been walking this path before

This just feels weird for a company to officially state? Maybe im just too use to tech company/startup speak where AGI is literally 2 days away

I wish they would make a flip phone version. Really I just a flip phone + graphene OS

AGI is when I can vibe maintain X11

Are you tired of winning yet

Single player works flawlessly 99% of the time. Competitive multiplayer shooters can be a bit iffy.

It’s definitely annoying how we have all these wrappers of wrappers of debian, like Linux mint is wrapping packages from Ubuntu which is then wrapping packages from a certain snapshot of Debian. All of which creates a unique set of dependencies an apps running on that can cause bugs (Though sometime the distro is more like a installation wrapper for another distro which is better).

stealth startup bro, my crud app is gonna change the world

Just a little more compute bro, we just need a little more context window. trust me bro Claude 5 will be AGI

Its crazy you can fail so badly at cloning a competitors product yet still be so successful

Europe is kind of just a retired United States, the pension scheme is the us defense budget

I forgot about the 90s but yeah good point. I never heard of “shock therapy” before https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_therapy_(economics) , seems like its a Retronym for describing IMF inspired market reforms. Good way to keep a country down :D

Power couple of the century

I mean they don’t call it the Century of humiliation for nothing lol. Yeah Russia doesn’t make sense though.

I never got the hype from Open source supporters about RISC-V. Its a permissive license so any consumer use will end up with companies EEE into there own product line (Could you then patent that architecture?). Weirdly I feel like the ARM model where a central company licenses the chipset out to many companies is kind of better as atleast you get competition between chip designers.

I feel like its a similar decision why companies adopted linux over enterprise unix’s. Its kind of interesting how decentralized/open solutions are mostly used by companies versus the public.
