Omarchy apparently doesn’t include Ruby or Rails by default

Lightly concealing his identity behind a generated anime avatar may be the wisest thing that kid ever did

Kinda interesting that Google’s TPUs are back in the news. Seemed like they had fallen by the wayside for a while. Of course there are no technical details, just blah blah revenue blah blah, but that’s CNBC for you.

The failure to include Ruby/Rails would seem to indicate that. Or maybe the guy’s given up on framework development and he’s just a culture-war grievance blogger these days

Props to Lemmy for doing… something… with the katakana URL. Was still able to follow the link on Safari.

Even as someone herding along a few perpetually-in-progress Gentoo setups, piping curl into sh to install random stuff staggers me. I don’t see how this can be taken seriously; the software and the surrounding hype complex come off as a gimmick to catfish impressionable high-schoolers who don’t know any better. After reading this, I can only imagine that Omarchy is most frequently distributed out of a shoddy panel van parked at a judicially-mandated distance outside of school zones. “Hey kid, want to try some Linux?”

I propose a 450-foot-tall statue of the most famous parts of Kirk Johnson’s anatomy, facing southwest back towards the city

I hope it’s still going after 8 full years, if the company’s even still in business. Trust is only built back with accountability.

these fools can’t successfully whack each other because they’re too busy whackin’ off

My digestive tract also undergoes a “full blown movement” not long after eating too much Taco Bell

I also love that Walmart’s desperate rush to catch up in e-commerce has resulted in their website becoming just as much of a slop farm as Amazon. My friend who works there said this just piles even more on an already overstressed staff, as people come into the store not understanding that the website lists a whole lot of stuff that isn’t and never will be sold in the store. I doubt many people will come in asking for this piece of junk, tho.

Scal-Palin Skywalker, was that the guy 100 years in the future who kept smoking death sticks so Luke’s Force ghost would stop bothering him?

I figured it might be particularly irksome to fascists who have bought far enough into the aesthetic to fetishize black Mercedes

I’ll have to give the T-shirt cannon a deep-clean, it tends to start jamming up when we fire off too many of the XXLs covered in Dorito dust

Agreed on pricing, but something this low-volume is always unfortunately going to struggle. The RockChip stuff is a current darling in the FOSS-compatible hardware scene, but I’m not super enthusiastic about it yet. If there isn’t an OS image you like, you’ve got to cobble one together with U-Boot and the DDR support blobs, which is a circa-1999 level of “fun”

Look everyone, there goes the AMG Ban-Hammer

Isn’t that how the Zizians got going? Or was that uni-hemispheric partial sleep or some such thing

(or, more realistically in both cases, simply escalating quantities of amphetamines)

Dissatisfyingly decontented, similar to the other Model Ys he’s selling

The underlying anxiety on exhibit here compels me to think that the rumors about the botched, ahem, enhancement surgery are substantially true

I’ve always said that he looks like a horse who, upon foaling, was promptly kicked in the face by another horse

Wayland protocols are an almost ideal way to create intentional incompatibilities and network effects. see also xlibre, which is building a weird fucked up ecosystem around itself even though it’s broken and pointless.

So in other words, they’re just cargo-culting “network effects” that they heard about in second-hand YCombinator propaganda and Zuckerberg biographies, and assuming that’s both a road to riches and a necessary part of a technical culture
