PLEASE I BEG OF YOU, STOP USING DISCORD IN PLACE OF FORUMS AND PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE BOARDS!

fun fact.

The US army gave people ammunition for free if it was used to kill bison for a period of time.

Bison almost went extinct.

Bison were a source of food for the natives.

I love american history!

these guys look like they've spent twenty years on the linux maintainer list.

isn't this like, explicitly anti HIPPA (or HIPAA since apparently medical acronyms suck)?

Shouldn't this be like, INCREDIBLY illegal?

everytime this happens i become unexplainably happy.

There's just something about a community doing it's fucking job that gets me so normal feeling.

Aber was found dead in Alexandria, Virginia, on March 22, 2025, at age 43.[11] A family friend said that her death was "believed to be the result of a longstanding medical issue",[12][13] which was later revealed to be epilepsy.[14] Authorities did not initially release an official cause of death.[2][15][16] Four days later, the Alexandria Police Department said in a statement that Aber likely died of natural causes, but that they would wait for the final ruling of the chief medical examiner.

i mean, that's pretty concrete.

Assuming this wiki info checks out. I would be inclined to believe it. Unfortunate timing i suppose, but it could happen at any time.

we almost built a really fucking big collider in the US somewhere in the middle of fuck off land texas.

It died.

man i miss these days.

These days not only would it open your CD drive, it would open your tax documents, your crypto wallet, your account cookies, probably even your banking information.

The modern internet fucking sucks dude.

respects to "unknown" and tty users.

fuck display servers. All my homies love ASCII display tech.

why isn't this constitutionally protected.

Can we pass an amendment for this shit? It's actually kind of fucked up.

bill gates was like, one of the worst of the worst. Dude literally broke the law, and then settled to avoid paying for acquiring fees.

They have never been good.

weekly PSA that spotify is a dumb company who makes no money because they're stupid.

To put it bluntly, between the artists, and the musicians, there is the publisher (the traditional music company) the money pretty much only goes to the publisher, because spotify doesn't want to make money, nor do they want artists to make money. And the artists put their shit on spotify because people believe that spending 15 dollars a month on a service that doesnt pay artists, apparently pays artists.

Go support your local musical artists.

i really fucking hate discord.

Why does EVERYTHING have to be proprietary. Fucking capitalism.

they almost certainly have a hardware spare, or at the very least, an accurately simulated version of it, because again, this is 50 year old hardware. So it's pretty easy to just simulate it.

But yeah they are almost certainly pulling some really fucked QA on this shit.

bro i thought this was an onion post for a second what the fuck just happened

i would say jstor are cunts, but actually it's the US government that were being cunts here.

i assume by disable they probably mean, something along the lines of irreversibly contaminating the whole of the assembly line.

I'd be curious to know how specifically they're going about this.

smells like linus thinks there is going to be an ever increasing tech debt, and honestly, i think i agree with him on that one.

RISCV is likely going to eventually overstep it's role in someplaces, and bits and pieces of it will become archaic over time.

The gap between hardware and software level abstraction is huge, and that's really hard to fill properly. You just need a strict design criteria to get around that one.

I'm personally excited to see where RISCV goes, but maybe what we truly need is a universal software level architecture that can be used on various different CPU architectures providing maximum flexibility.

you guys are paying for twitter???

you aren't a true linux user if you haven't considered living your life alone at least a couple of times, and knew that you would be okay with it.
