Lots of code repos. Especially repos for programming languages, compilers, and Git.

Sharpie.

So this is how the tech dark ages start. The last 40yrs are erased, and we end up back in 1979 where everyone is selling a tech stack and nothing is compatible.

Rebuilding around something which isn’t C would be a bright side.

Qualcomm buying Intel would be a top 3 worst case. Broadcom or Marvel would be the other two.

Some funny scenarios: Nvidia buys Intel, IBM buys Intel, Apple buys Intel.

Armed revolt it is. Pizza first though?🍕

65 to match Social Security.

To run Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, or some other FOSS OS?

I’m running Fedora on a refurbished Thinkpad P1 Gen 4, and I’ve had good luck running Linux and the BSDs on higher end refurbished Dell Optiplex, Latitude, and Precision equipment.

Apple hardware is nice, and MacPorts gives me access to the vast majority of my *nix tools.

Shopping for new hardware I’d look at the list below to get Linux preinstalled.

• Thinkpad X1 Carbon
• Slimbook
• System76
• Tuxedo Computers
• Juno Computers
• Starlabs Systems

Or buy refurbed equipment from Dell or Lenovo.

I happen to like the term FOSS and would like to keep it around. It’s catchy.

Definitely time to kick out the corporatists though.

Awesome, now upstream everything so I can install Debian on the hardware instead of OpenWRT.

I can too. I’ve seen something like that before. It was interesting, but not interesting enough for me to care about it as a feature.

Another one? Why didn’t they contribute fixes to an existing font family? 🙄

Neon looks good. The rest are awful.

Terminus is still my favorite monospaced font followed by Roboto Mono, so ignore me.

Those graphics. 🫨

Peak performance for their time.

That looks cool. The specs look good. 16GB RAM, 1TB storage. 😄

The reviewer is correct, a Snapdragon 8 gen 2 processor would have been nice.

The reviewer doesn’t mention it, so I’m going to guess it doesn’t have UEFI, ACPI, or upstream Linux support. 😔 (I want to run Fedora on this thing.)

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback back from someone who has used it. 🙂

UCL and HCL are interesting, but YAML is more widely supported.

NetBSD

It’s open core corporateware and shouldn’t count as free software regardless of the license.
