Raspberry Pi is now manufacturing 70,000 Pi 5s per week, will surge to 90,000 in February
I'm just hoping rockchip gets better kernel support. They are way better positioned on the CxB scale.

Buying from shitty companies that exploit a country won't help people on that country.
Those companies do not inject money on the cities they enter. They bribe politicians for advantages, destroy the natural resources, and go as close to slave work as they can while paying no taxes.

Is anyone else having trouble giving up Reddit due to content?
There's more than one way to boycott something. I still search stuff there, but giving nothing back, i block ads and trackers, do not post, comment, or vote. For them, i am just a waste of server resources.

i can only roll my eyes
Tô be fair, receiving good service from a medic is very luck based, and it's not rare for them to justify any problem with generic shit without proper investigation, things like anxiety and weight are being used as wildcard for "don't know the problem and wont look further".
I have lost a ton of weight in the past, but since i was fat only in my early years, i didn't face any health problems from it, and had many problems misdiagnosed as "you just feel like this because you're fat", fortunately getting a second opinion is not that hard where i live, but if i just trusted the first person every time i would be very fucked.
This also applies for losing weight. A good endocrinologist nutritionist combo can help a lot and did in my case, discovering some genetic tendencies and helping me counter them with specific diets and medicanent, but many of those professionals just assume you are lazy, and shame you for not being able to do something as "easy" as losing weight.
Medics don't face enough criticism for their mistakes, so bad professionals can work alongside good ones, making finding a good one very luck based, that is only made worse by the costs associated with it.

The lengths we have to go to

I really like the identation aproach, or begin/end instead of curly braces or parenthesis. When people start to nest things too deep, it gets painful to look at.

I miss older html internet
Reply in thread
I dont think that usability or acessibility gets so much in the way. It's more about thinking webpages as applications instead of documents. Plain html is easier for screenreaders and larger fonts. You can also get responsive with very little css.
Simplicity is just not the goal anymore.

Something that i liked very much on some games was choosing the assets you want to download, you want to play on low, no need to download ultra high res textures.
The thing is, using less resources is always an optimization cost for the company. If the user will just get better hardware, there's not much incentive for spending on that. Unless the company aims for devices with lower hardware like switch, deck or mobile.

It either runs on Linux or refund
Or spend a lot of time reverse engineering the game and fixing shit, and completely losing interest in playing once the game is running perfectly.

Ukraine war: Burger King still open in Russia despite pledge to exit

War profiteer is an interesting way to look at it. If a company doesn't cut ties with warmonger countries, they are war profiteers ?
They should also get away from US, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and most of the "developed" countries that are historically exploiting poor countries ?
They sell fucking burguers, if they manage to not put too much garbage in the food to save money, they are doing enough.

Linux laptop recommendation thread🐧💻
Choose whatever laptop you like, and do a quick search on the model for incompatibilities. If there's something critical or long-term, like a very specific hardware module not working well without its proprietary driver, consider changing, but most of the time, Linux will just work.
For distro, PopOS is good. It doesn't come with a bunch of bloatware, but it is also not barebones. Mint is also a great choice.

TIL that on Firefox you can unload tabs from memory without closing them

This, if you want to act on something later, just create a bookmark and set a reminder, act on what you need, then close and move on, don't clutter your browser and your head.
Usually, i open one window for each task, so i don't get a lot of unrelated content mixed up and loose focus. I rarely need more than 1~5 tabs.
