I was surprised to see that their negotiations broke down because of price/cost as opposed to technology (unproven node and to my knowledge intel doesn’t really have any experience with semi-custom x86 business).

one of the top education videos on the front page is by an occultist about how the wrong witchcraft caused 9/11, another is how the vaccines are going to start killing babies, etc.

This is actually pretty funny. I am glad I am staying away from Odysee.

In general, I am rather skeptical of “free speech absolutism” and what have you, comes off a little parochial to me.

No, TSMC is not supposed to be a permanent solution. Just Arrow Lake.

This would be an excellent law/regulation that makes complete sense.

The major companies can most definitely manage this (although they will cry crocodile tears).

That’s definitely true.

The rested on their lawrels when they were the only game in town from the late 2000s to ~2018.

Considering the price, I would assume it’s likely 64GB (maybe 128 GB).

That would not be a good thing. The CPU/GPU design and semiconductor fab industries are already massively concentrated.

You don’t understand the terms “censorship” or “free speech”. It’s a mere internet polemic for you, something to act out about .

You have no clue what you are talking about.

I think you need to cancel your citizenship (and your family members’ citizenships) and move to russia or PRC.

And the vast majority of russians couldn’t care less.

EU is a bit too passive and cautious when it comes to compliance with internal rules.

One would think that after they opened up access to Shengen to any russians, they would have been immediately kicked out.

Not all surprising, he’s been pushing the russian narrative for a while now.

We’ll probably get there in 10-15 years (as in at mainstream, mass market prices).

Don’t know how it is in the US, but you don’t get any support for Pixel where I live.

Samsung on the other hand is excellent, they even have retail locations.

There are pros/cons to anonymous payments. It’s a bit sophomoric to claim privacy is impossible without anonymous payments.

There are most definitely many use cases for .onion sites without any sort of payments (“anonymous” or otherwise).

Monero support is a massive red flag for criminal activity, even by the very low standards of crypto.

I didn’t really get this either.

I did think the final paragraph was notable, a “zeitgeist of our times” if you will:

The absurdity of the situation prompted tech author and journalist James Vincent to write on X, “current tech trends are resistant to satire precisely because they satirize themselves. a car park of empty cars, honking at one another, nudging back and forth to drop off nobody, is a perfect image of tech serving its own prerogatives rather than humanity’s.”

I just find the notion that all CoC policies are useless in all cases to be a bit broad and almost parochial.

There can be cases in a multi-cultural collective where a CoC helps everyone get on the same page.

A CoC can also act as a “policy of last resort” where you generally have a more laissez-faire approach, but you can refer to the CoC policy if someone repeatedly doesn’t get the message.

It all depends on the context of course, but staying that CoC policies are universally bad seems very simplistic.

I see where you are coming from, but to me it comes off as a little bit naive and reductionist.

That being said, I am thinking of this more globally, not necessarily solely in context of open source development (let alone this case in particular).

So you’re saying russians genuinely believe that since 2014 they’ve been “fighting Nazism in Ukraine” and this is not a genocidal imperialist war?

As I mentioned in my OP, you do know that every russian had uncensored youtube within a single click on their smartphone until the last month or so? Btw, the YT app is available in russian and there is a lot of russian language content.

This makes no sense!
