I know this has sort of been tried before (cloud desktops), but I have a feeling that with Microsoft making the hardware too, it's going to stick this time
if they can build low-latency regional data centers for example, why wouldn't all gamers just rent their GPUs in the cloud per month?
not to mention the mass surveillance and data aggregation capabilities are a corporate/spook wet dream
then they'll give you a discount for using a special monitor with eye tracking built in, for even better ad metrics

the cattled masses will use whatever microsoft and apple tell them. microsoft has a particular advantage in doing this because they also own azure, whereas if apple tries to copy they will have a difficult time.

i recently build the development multilib version (m64, m32, x32) in a VM
i saved the scripts i used to build each package, create config files, etc., and repeated the build on a cheap laptop, but at the end i couldn't get the root partition to mount
it's a cheap Walmart laptop with one of those 64GB internal SD cards (/dev/mmcblk0) instead of a real SSD, and i thought i built the right drivers in the kernel, but i must have missed something, as i couldn't get the kernel to recognize the block device

What I realized by using Arch for months is how many unnecessary dependencies are installed. Only by carefully controlling compiler flags can you truly debloat your system.

Unfortunately, LFS doesn't really help you with this. You're expected to follow the procedures provided
>>
>>103254966
>Unfortunately, LFS doesn't really help you with this. You're expected to follow the procedures provided
true, but i'd point out two things
one is that if you're not a novice (which you shouldn't be anyway if you're trying LFS) you can try to minimize the base system, with the understanding that it's probably going to require modifying ./configure flags and probably patching certain packages
the other is that the base LFS system is relatively minimal (compared to even the "server" flavor of mainstream distros), and BLFS divides dependencies into Required, Recommended, and Optional, and you can totally ignore the Optional dependencies
ultimately, what constitutes a(n) (un)necessary dependency depends on what you want to do with the system; you can consider GNU coreutils and glibc unnecessary and build a barebones kernel + musl + busybox, but if you want a desktop system or even a webserver with a modern framework, you're gonna have a bad time

Judges don't just enforce law, they interpret the law. Which gives them the power to effectively change existing laws. Not make new ones, but change existing ones by interpreting based on their intention.

Even words that are as obvious and clear as SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED can be wiped away by judges. They just have to provide a reasoning for a sudden reinterpretation.

Modern democracy is a shit system. One of the worst ones to ever exist. A monarchy has a clearer seperation of power.
But it is funny that simping for a corporation is what made some bootlickers here question it.

Without using the generic "webp bad!" is there really a significant reason we shouldn't be adopting this after 4chan adopted MP4? I've heard some retards claim that this thing isn't better than JPG but I don't really see this desu senpai. Webp appears to be, on average, about half the file size of standard JPGs for similar quality.

I mean sure it's not as good as jew xl or tel-avif but it's not like fucking useless...

I've never come across a lossles webp file on the web now that you mention it, virtually all of them have been under 200KB so I never really suspected that lossless was being used.

No clue but it's been getting worse for me every year that goes by. If this really is someone kind of devious ploy to get google to turn us into slaves or something it might actually be working because I've already complained several time to different websites that they enable uploads of webp files and not just 4chen.

bloat isn't really a problem. No other OS has progams share packages. Hell, most of the time programs on other OSes are webapps. It's bloated as hell and any linux setup will be lightweight by comparison

Really cool idea, but I don't know how you could power two oleds like that and have the required soc to wirelessly receive video and drive the display while remaining paper thin and flexible. In the video you see a ribbon cable coming out the bottom, so not fake CGI, but not practical unless maybe one non flexible edge with a tiny battery, light weight soc just to drive the display and perhaps a solar cell to extend battery life while also having a wireless charging coil when the solar cell inevitably can't keep up. As it stands this tech right now I think could only practically be used by a theme park or something to try and simulate a fictional item while hiding the ribbon cable. This guy's channel also shows making the Harry Potter moving newspaper, so maybe Universal Studios could put one in a Harry Potter attraction, but that's it. Imagine though, waifu trading cards with this tech. Even though it would be crazy expensive I could see gooners just buying pack after pack to get best girl.

I do it so I can develop my own stuff and when something goes wrong or I want to complain about the thing not working right, it will be something like: “Who was the idiot who designed this?! Oh, right...”

Anyone else reach a dead end? The brick wall at the end of the back alley that is the end of all tech? After 30 years of computing, programming and 15 years working as a software developer, I now realize it's all pointless. A wasted life. All tech is garbage. All code is technical debt. You're just automating some pointless tasks from someone's make-work job that also serves someone's pointless life. At the end of the day, we're all just shuffling around like zombies and shoveling garbage into each other's faces.

I'm tempted to just go cold turkey on devices, computers, phones, Internet, everything. It's all garbage.

why would using a fucking VCS be more difficult than actually programming and working on my project?

many retards will spout

>learn the fundamentals
>git is perfect
>git is well-designed
>"you just don't git it bro!!!!"

but the same retards will argue about git commands for hours like picrel
