Rarely anything. There can be some newer Bios/chip features that are not supported in the kernel yet, and a few older/quirky machines requires setting correct kernel parameters in the boot phase. But overall, you wouldn’t normally do it any different from win, and a laptop from 23 should be supported with all newer kernels.

I’m sure there are Bios settings that could be changed dependent on operating system. Perhaps some internal timing works best with this and that ram clock, or whatever, but it would be a hazzle to figure out, and there may not be any gain - other than the fun of exploring oc…

Pure Propaganda. Not a single source in the original article. Nonsense…

Nonsense US propaganda…

Guess ‘Diversity’ in language wasn’t important for neither the Anglophone world, or Saltman. Good for Asia, but afaik we still lack descent support for Africa, the middle-east, and a shitload of smaller languages that Western corps didn’t bother adding.

Better than nothing I guess, but why not just skip the EU middleman and buy directly from the Chinese manufacturer. De-Westernize your-self.

Damn you :-)

“Among those announced was Hind Kabawat, a Christian woman and activist who opposed Assad since the conflict began in March 2011, and who will serve as minister for social affairs and labour.”

Without knowing; She’s put there by 'Al Sharaa’s western backers. This is how we can see who’s in charge, and this guy and his US trained female minister, are both Western stooges.

(searching)

Oh my, who would’ve thought: “Hind Aboud Kabawat is a Syrian-Canadian politician, researcher, international counsel and activist who is currently serving as Minister of Social and Labour Affairs since 2025.” - So the usual US globalist stooge that are there to keep an eye on the new US puppet regime. This is one of the ways US regime-changes nations. They train a local puppet in US ways and ideology (lots of manipulation/money/status), they then re-introduce the stooge into their old country (that they now have nothing in common with) and puff them up via the Capitalist ‘free press’. That is how they place foreign US-propagandized politicians into foreign nations political apparatus and ideologically colonize them. See Georgia for an example of a similar female stooge of the US - now ousted. Usually they get a high international post somewhere in the ‘Empire of Lies’, as thanks for selling out their own nation to US Oligarchs.

If that’s not enough of an example, then check out the political history of any EU leader. It’s not by chance they agree with US wars around the world, they are all put there by US. Academics, news, politics, and all areas of a nations opinion/decision infrastructure is compromised.

Here they are just controlling events in the direction they have already decided for Syria and its people.

Didn’t know what uBlue was, so here: https://universal-blue.org/

"The Universal Blue project builds a diverse set of continuously delivered operating system images using bootc. That’s nerdspeak for the ultimate Linux client: the reliability of a Chromebook, but with the flexibility and power of a traditional Linux desktop.

These images represent what’s possible when a community focuses on sharing best practices via automation and collaboration. One common language between dev and ops, and it’s finally come to the desktop.

We also provide tools for users to build their own image using our templates and processes, which can be used to ship custom configurations to all of your machines, or finally make the Linux distribution you’ve long wished for, but never had the tools to create.

At long last, we’ve ascended."

Agree. I also shift between them. As the bare minimum, I use a thinking model to ‘open up’ the conversation, and then often continue with a normal model, but it certainly depends on the topic.

Long ago we got ‘routellm’ I think, that routed a request depended on its content, but the concept never got traction for some reason. Now it seems that closedai and other big names are putting some attention to it. Great to see DeepHermes and other open players be in front of the pack.

I don’t think it will take long before we have the agentic framework do the activation of different ‘modes’ of thinking dependent on content/context, goals etc. It would be great if a model can be triggered into several modes in a standard way.

There’s a cheap zbtlink openwrt wifi6 3000Mbps ‘z8101ax-d’ on AliE for around 50 $. (https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-zbtlink-openwrt.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.search.0)

I don’t know how long, and haven’t tried the product, but maybe some here have tried it ?

Sounds like standard Capitalist practices if you ask me.

I agree. However, I think it is related to Capitalism and all the sociopathic corporations out there. It’s almost impossible to think that anything good will come from the Blue Church controlling even more tech. Capitalism have always used any opportunity to enslave/extort people - that continues with AI under their control.

However, I was also disappointed when I found out how negative ‘my’ crowd were. I wanted to create an open source lowend AGI to secure poor people a descent life without being attacked by Capitalism every day/hour/second, create abundance, communities, production and and in general help build a social sub society in the midst of the insane blue church and their propagandized believers.

It is perfectly doable to fight the Capitalist religion with homegrown AI based on what we know and have today. But nobody can do it alone, and if there’s no-one willing to fight the f*ckers with AI, then it takes time…

I definitely intend to build a revolution-AGI to kill off the Capitalist religion and save exploited poor people. No matter what happens, there will be at least one AGI that are trained on revolution, anti-capitalism and building something much better than this effing blue nightmare. The worlds first aggressive ‘Commie-bot’ ha! 😍

Amazing. I’ve been ‘staring’ at the sys rq key for 20 years with Linux and many years before with Win/Dos, and never really knew how it worked, for what, or if it was still used for anything - even then.

Apparently (from light search) sysreq was mostly used in the old days to halt current job and enter a systems menu.

Anyway, thanks for fixing a long-standing knowledge gap :-)

Over time I’ve seen several groups tinker with p2p protocols for packages. Latest using gnunet/ipfs for Guix packages. But I’ve never seen a working/integrated system. Weird…

Seems the only ‘dark side’ was that he was caught…

There’s imho no stupid questions regarding personal cyber-security. There are only things we don’t know yet.

I’m old. Once upon a time ‘screen savers’ were used for …saving screens, I swear it’s the truth :-) I would’ve bet money on screensavers disappearing when CRT monitors did, but that certainly did not happen. It exploded. I kind of expect that someone by now have created a screensaver …plugin for another screensaver…

Not picking on you, just feeling old suddenly. I tried searching for 2024 all-time insane screensavers but only found this 13yo one from vsauce: iv.melmac.space/watch?v=zwX95UaKCRg

…but I’m curios what have happened in 13 years, so if any lurkers know better search-fu, please add…

Sharing is caring <3

‘Similarly, during democratic elections, Google employed whitelists for sites that should be shown (or demoted) for election-related information’

I’m sure they only use that little ‘non-fascistic’ feature for home use and not all over the world, yeah.

China, Russia, Iran etc seem to know what they are doing, and why. All people in the western world need to apply a Chinese firewall and block these US state/profit controlled corporations.

Odd and sus to include Russia for no particular reason…

Yeah, data can be beautiful - but is ugly if presented misleadingly. Only very little can be concluded from this ‘graph’ (without sources btw), but it is presented as if the inner west are the great core of enlightenment, spiraling out to the ‘dumber’ nations. The level of knowledge excellence is obviously related to the amount of dollu spent - which is nonsense. My equally valid opinion is that Western liberal/Capitalist education is exceedingly inefficient, and only optimized for wage-slavery. Notice how all the super ‘edumecated’ citizens from the west have been so easily propagandized to think that Russia is the bad guy. …China is the bad guy …socialism is bad …communism evil …Capitalism GREAT! We are the best!! …and so on and so on with similar infantile propaganda from the Capitalist elite. The average intellects in these ‘educated’ western nations is Embarrassing, and misinformation from constant propaganda doesn’t help much i’m afraid…
