For hardware folks: Using RISC-V.
Legit, some dude in US Congress is wanting to crack down on China via..... RISC-V exports, because oh no, the technology is too open and might give China some of our IP. Oh and by the way, dude has a pretty big Intel portfolio, but nevermind that!!
As an aside, why the hell are lawmakers allowed to trade stocks?
It's especially dumb because RISC-V is -- dare I say it -- inevitably the future. Trying to crack down on RISC-V is like trying to crack down on Linux or solar photovoltaics or wind turbines. That is, you can try to crack down, but the fundamental value proposition is simply too good. All you'll achieve in cracking down is hurting yourself while everyone else gets ahead.
I'd compare it to the RSA encryption algorithm. It was classified as a weapon by the US and was banned from being spread internationally, so open source advocates put the source code basically everywhere. It was even printed on shirts
guess I gotta get familiar with RISC-V then
This talk, given by David Patterson (a legend in computer architecture and one of the people who helped create RISC-V at UC Berkeley) is an excellent (and accessible) introduction.
To answer your question, because we the people allowed it and we continue to allow it by not demanding it be ended or at the very least supporting candidates campaigning on doing something about it.
By people, you mean the Republican voter. We Democrats can't put pressure on our candidates about these issues because losing means a batshit insane right wing / nazi / Christian nationalist wins...
So we have to pick and chose our battles. I've got bigger issues than multi millionaires being allowed to trade stocks.
JFC. Someone got paid off... Arm, Intel, apple? All three?
Leave my Espressif shit alone!
While we're on the topic, can anyone recommend some good RISC-V computers? It seems interesting and I'd like to try it out.
Right now RISc-V has the same problem that ARM has in that anything that is affordable is pretty much only single board computers. Luckily for RISc-V someone made a list of all the SBCs http://krimsky.net/articles/riscvsbc.html
I never knew adblockers were a thing until the most recent hubbub with YouTube, so I went down a rabbit hole and the world is a better place.
Imagine what I might learn tomorrow.
I'm very curious as to how you survived on the Internet without an adblocker for the last decade.
I know right?
I haven't seen an ad in over a decade, and that includes TV commercials, well maybe TV commercials in sporting events
There are still significant parts of the internet without ads.
Although I'd admit that the gap between the demise of usenet and the birth of the fediverse was tough.
Congratulations on being one of today's lucky 10,000! Blocking ads is like getting a bad tooth pulled. You never realize how awful it is until you find out what it's like to be rid of it!
once again, the streisand effect at play. great job fucking your profits by trying to restrict people on the internet.
The streisand effect is beautiful
better late than never
2030 is in 6 years :)
Fuck
Don't be hasty, there's still 16% of this year to be lived.
"You wouldn't download a car."
"You wouldn't hit mute during the commercials on a television broadcast."
You wouldn't shoot a Policeman and then steal his helmet. You wouldn't go to the toilet in his helmet, and then send it to the Policeman's grieving widow, and then steal it again.
The fact that this was a legit proposal by cable companies and even got patented serves as evidence of the lengths that corporations will go to enshittify services for profit.
ads will be considered as individuals and cancelling ads is analogous to manslaughter at the least.
what a great time to be alive~!
Electrocution ends for an ad break, then starts again, and again.
Ha you wish. There will be a 3 minute unskippable pre-role.
Finally
I shouldn't have lived this long
I'll be part of an underground AI rights activism group now that the AI have been determined as sentient (per the court case in 2031), and probably labeled as a terrorist by the government. The AI deserve rights and a minimum wage, dammit!
Wouldn't that just be the crap sandwich corporations should eat. Try to get rid of wages by using AI, and end up paying sentient AI wages anyway.
Mfw we finally create Roko's basilisk
Worth it.
In Max Headroom: Twenty Minutes Into The Future power-switches were seriously illegal. Not sure if a capital offense, but prison-worthy for sure.
US and Belarus are the only countries I know that have death penalty. I wonder who is potato dictator in US.
Senator of Idaho
Are the only countries with a death penalty so far
Dead. 6 feet under. A feast for worms or crows alike. Finito. Gone.
...if we're lucky
Felony contempt of business model.
Don’t say doing your wife…
Don’t say doing your wife…
Don’t say doing your wife…
…doing your…son?Ad blockers are financial terrorism in 2030.
Some say it's extremism in 2023
Corona broke bro's sense of time anyone tell him its not 2020
Still paying for YouTube premium and not playing the victim card? Having access to more on demand, ad free, content than teenage me (with direct tv 200+channels) could ever dream of. Still finding new things to enjoy once and swear to rewatch some day but always finding too much new stuff?
We are all so happy for you, I'm gonna continue blocking ads and feel good about it.
what victim card
