In paleo-conservative countries the rule is any sexual activity outside of life long marriage is evil and immoral. They hold zero tolerance for sex outside of wedlock. Though the AoC for them historically is 2 to 4 years lower. In feminist countries today (such as the US) any sexual activity a day below 18 is evil and immoral and enforced by laws of government.

Both paleo conservatives and feminist claim certain sexual behavior is evil gross and immoral and they respond with strong emotional engagement when their values are violated. But they differ on what triggers it. I believe these morals go deeper then cultural norms. They reflect evolved instincts to ensure early human tribes had social cohesion. For cavemen 19,000 years ago having a tribe not fighting over mates and knowing who's kid belongs to who is far more likely to survive then tribes that didn't know whos parents the kids belonged to and bashed each other with clubs over who gets to mate with the women of the tribe.

All those morals people have. Rather it be life long monogamy, opposition to gay marriage, and 18 or wood chipper are just the result of prehistoric pressures put on ancestral humans. The strongest moral values some people hold (even if logical) came from evolutionary pressures .

Okay Vishay

I just bought a 32Gib 512nvme i7-9850H quadro t1000 with a 4k panel for $400 on eBay (and uncle sam fucked me for 40 in taxes and 20 in shipping)--and I am regretting it and wish I bought the cheaper $330 1080p 48gib option but bought this one because I thought that the 4k panel might be good since 1080p is a bit bad for split screen latex but am now regretting it since it will
- Drain battery faster (might take up 20% extra)
- Be a pain to use because I will be forced to set it to 200% scaling for a good experience with my external 1080p monitors (probably, I have never used 4k but xorg will likely strangle me too)
- Cost more
- Doesn't have as much ram
- At 15.6" and normal sitting, I probably won't ever notice

I don't think it has been shipped yet but also don't want to try to return it since that might make me an asshole...I will have to go check if the seller even accepts returns...

I am really crying over this...why is life so hard?

I didn't get that one because of a shipping problem but the taxes I paid would have made it a loss if I would have tried to resell it on eBay, and to a lesser extent, the shipping, but somehow it wasn't that much either.

How is RedoxOS coming along? It'd be nice to have a usable microkernel operating system.
4 replies omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>107741499
That's because monolithic kernels have never been tried. No, not even Linux. It's a hybrid LARPing as a monokernel, but it's not. The Finnish retard copied the API from a self-admitted microkernel (Minix), whose explicit purpose was to keep complicated shit out of kernelspace.

A true monokernel wouldn't block on open and reads. A true monokernel would allow you to create sockets and FDs in batches. A true monokernel would have compound functions (open + mmap + close) for the most common patterns.
>>
>>107742231
Also, a true monokernel would've probably used something like shared mappings between user and kernel to properly utilize memory layout and out-of-order execution, and write-lock the plot upon submission to make sure that the thread cannot modify the data in mid-flight. *And our current hardware doesn't support that very well* because the page table is a process-wide resource, not a thread-local one - meaning that, if you write-lock pages, you end up with per-core TLB shootdowns that can easily take much longer to complete than just copying all parameters from userspace to kernelspace, even if it's an in-order copy.

Oh, and speaking of TLB shootdowns:

>>107740569
>How is RedoxOS coming along?
Well, is it at all? They had an interesting idea about "everything is a URL" but them went back on that fo rmore UNiX like philosophy. And that was after all the drama and purges. So after 10 years it is still not as advanced or usable as Linux was after 4 years.
>>
>>107742231
>That's because monolithic kernels have never been tried. No, not even Linux. It's a hybrid LARPing as a monokernel, but it's not.
Monolithic kernels are brain damage because it means they have no loadable drivers or modules. Everything has to be compiled into one binary blob, so all your GPU drivers, USB drivers, file systems, all hardware you will ever support, is compiled into one blob.

>The Finnish retard copied the API from
He copied it from Unix.

>A true monokernel wouldn't block on open and reads. A true monokernel would allow you to create sockets and FDs in batches. A true monokernel would have compound functions (open + mmap + close) for the most common patterns.
That's just a non-Unix-like design and has nothing to do with monolithic or microkernels. Windows NT, VMS, and IBM mainframe OSes have a non-blocking asynchronous design. Microkernels are also inherently non-Unix-like, because anything similar to Unix is provided as user mode processes. They don't even have the concept of a file system or opening or reading files because that's handled by programs outside the kernel.

>>107742281
>Also, a true monokernel would've probably used something like shared mappings between user and kernel to properly utilize memory layout and out-of-order execution
That has nothing to do with monolithic or microkernels either.
>>
>>107743317
>They had an interesting idea about "everything is a URL"
It followed pretty naturally from the network transparency features of most microkernels before it. Have they really abandoned the idea?
>So after 10 years it is still not as advanced or usable as Linux was after 4 years.
Not the same thing, Linux was slotted into the existing GNU ecosystem that had been worked on for a decade already, whereas Redox is effectively starting from scratch (bar rustc) and has much more complicated modern hardware to deal with.

The shine of ai is wearing off int he corporate setting as well. I work in a large corporation somewhat near the middle and managers are furious with ai generated content. It's always bad, any summaries made, any documents written just contain errors and stacks of errors, falsehoods, sometimes such that could get the company in legal trouble. There was one girl who ai generated a contract with a subcontractor and my god the shit in there would have bankrupted us.

There will be a serious tightening of ai usage in most corporations, ai is not ony useless it is actively harmful. I'm talking about LLMs here mostly. The engineers are using their own machine algos or open source stuff for simulation aid where ai is indeed useful, but openais chatbot can fuck right off.

Anybody here try/use Bedrock linux?
I've been on Manjaro for a while, but I'm getting the itch to switch distros.
Debian's not at the top of my list, but I'd consider it.
I refuse to ever use Ubuntu again. (There was some unpleasantness back around '08 and I refuse to ever give them another second of my time.) Nothing really against Mint. I've used it before, though, and it keeps me in the Debian branch, which I'm not very used to.
CachyOS is, I guess, catching on for some reason. It's another Arch derivative. Can't be worse than Manjaro. And I'm somewhat used to the Arch ecosystem.
But this Bedrock thing seems like a bit of a winner. Doesn't pin you down into any one branch. Plus, as I understand it, I can just install it over top of my existing install, instead of starting over from square one.
Anyhoo, just wanted to know if anyone here has experience with it and would/wouldn't recommend giving it a try.

If it is fully USB compliant it should not vibrate because usb is a standard, so it's more likely a kernel module issue afaik.

So, it's working now. The solution was blacklisting hid_nintendo since that seems to be how it's trying to connect.

Not agreeing with that anon, just pointing out that 4K can do integer scaling for 720p (Which is why I feel the whole "you need at least X" of screen for 4K to be worth it" is stupid, the sheer fact it can integer scale both 720p and 1080p already makes it worth it)
Personally, I place screen technology over resolution, and resolution over size (The smaller the better, because individual pixels are smaller), but most 768p screens are dogshit, so idk what he's yapping about
