    He also died because when he was being chased, he refused to run through a bean field, trampling on the beans.

    He used to also lecture by dressing like a girl, and sitting behind a curtain so that only his shadow would appear on the curtain. I love stories of ancient trans people.yes they also believed in silly things sometimes, but they were just as intelligent and creative as we are. They were human in every way that we are today.



  • I haven’t received it yet but apparently not good. It’s a $200 phone. I mostly want it because it runs Linux natively, has a regular unlocked bootloader that isn’t designed to be frustrating like android phones, and can send display over USB-C so it’s like a regular computer. You can run anything like emulating windows apps, you could install steam on it technically by putting it in an emulation container, but the chipset is very old at this point, and so you aren’t going to be emulating anything remotely modern on it. It is just a PC in your pocket though. You have a package manager, you can install many different Linux distros on it. You can get a LoRa radio mesh case for it, a physical keyboard/battery case, which I will probably get eventually. I think it’s worth the 200 dollars. I really want to get away from android. It’s hard because everything from Arm CPUs to the modems are completely proprietary. The only reason this device exists is because the design docs got leaked.

    It does have phone, sms, and your standard phone stuff. You can get several different desktop environments like plasma mobile or gnome mobile and several others. It has 3 GBs of ram, and the OS usually takes up around 500 MB. It has dip switches to disable the hardware like the camera, cell modem, wifi, bt, etc. It would be a great device for taking to defcon.


  • I just ordered a pinephone, haven’t received it yet. The pinephone is the best native option in the U.S right now but you can get some unlocked smartphones with better hardware and install Linux it’s just a bit of a headache.

    The general consensus is that it’s pretty low power, being one of the only chipsets that has publicly available design docs for it. It’s a mid tier 2015 era chipset. It a bit slow but works as a phone. You can probably emulate android apps in it.



  • He made his entire career stereotyping black people. Should have seen that one coming. I mean who was his audience even? Mostly white rednecks?

    That guy would literally be a perfect clown for the confederates or something. He hates his own race and it’s very obvious. Republicans in general tend to be very self hating. If they are black they hate black people, if they are gay, they hate gay people, if they are atheists, they hate atheists, of they are religious they hate religious people. If they are rich they hate Rick people. If they are poor they hate poor people. If they are men they hate men. If they are women they hate women.

    The good thing is that they completely lack any wisdom or intelligence and it takes them 1000x the effort to do anything as a simple progressive person could do. They would have no power if they didn’t have trillions of dollars of propaganda and bot farms supporting them. They would never get anything done without spending a billion dollars to do it. That’s why all the Republican states are dirt poor and have really high crime rates and full of people who can’t even think through even simple thought experiments.


  • Hopefully they will realize that the best America has ever been outside of racial and social issues is when FDR was president who was basically a social Democrat, although he preferred the term progressive and new nationalist. The decades after his economic reforms were the greatest time in American history, and then the Republicans got power again with Nixon and started to dismantle all of it, by the time Regan was in office, he killed organized labor and cut taxes on corporations leading to the current situation of hyper Inflationary debt based economics.


  • In some ways I understand. If they did anything less they would be denationalized and since Persians aren’t considered white really they would get a way worse deal. The vast majority of the people would be homeless and starving while armed propagandized guards protected international companies exporting every valuable resource out of the country. The unfortunate part about Iran is the religious stuff. Religions are terrible. They ruin the happiness of most of the population.


  • I think Microsoft puts the minimum possible effort into windows. It’s a very small piece of their cloud, investing, data selling, propaganda, and AI company. They just make so much money off of speculation nowadays. Inflation is really high so the stock market grows really fast even if the economy is shrinking. A company like Microsoft is positioned to make so much money just in growth because they hold billions of dollars in the stock market.

    They absolutely will ruin windows in every possible way, until people jump ship and start using other operating systems, at which point they will just kill the brand or sell it, and focus on their other sectors that make profits. They like many people know this is the right option. Keeping an operating system going is extremely complex these days and even with all the money in the world, microsoft could never find enough talent to actually pull it off. When you get to that level, most programmers aren’t motivated by money so much as working on projects they like. Most actually intelligent people also would refuse to work for a company that spies on its citizens and sells them out to the worst people on earth, which are politicians. At this point Microsoft probably makes way more money selling servers to the IDF to capture all phones calls from people in Gaza then they make off windows in 10 years.


  • Even if it were true. Windows security is probably the worst part about windows, and that’s saying alot. If you can manage to somehow disable it you will probably improve your frame rates 15%, your battery life by 30%, double your hard drives life, and increase the actual security of your system significantly, since most of the malware will just crash as it doesn’t know how to deal with not having Windows security installed, breaking it’s install process. You will also greatly increase your privacy, and extend the life of good software, because without the spyware, Microsoft has a harder time figuring out which software people install that they want to break in a future update to benefit their corporate partners in crime. You will also greatly improve the responsiveness of the system anytime there is disk IO. There is literally not a single reason to use windows security. The only time it will benefit you is if your cat is walking on your keyboard at night and installing random software or something because you don’t have a lock screen. You will also somehow get laid more because you don’t look like a boomer.




  • It’s more so that the actual FPS is lower when using FSR in many cases. The GPU frame rate doesn’t matter in terms of input lag and stuff, it’s all about how many time the CPU can loop through the game logic per second.

    So basically when you move 10 steps forward in a game, the CPU is running tons of code that take the time elapsed since the previous frame and interpolates where the player should be this frame. This is Delta time, (change in time between this frame and last) it’s multiplied by stuff moving to give fluid movement with a variable frame rate. This is why older games would slow down if the frame rate dropped and new games will still calculate the passage of time correctly, even if you only have 15 FPS.

    The fake frames have nothing to do with the game engine or logic, they are deep faked frames that are created with a neural network to fill in between real frames. This does give you something very close to extra frames on the GPU, but there is often a performance hit on the real frames since it’s a heavy process. The CPU has to stay synced to the GPUs real frames since some logic is CPU bound, like physics, creating certain buffers, all kinds of stuff. If the real frame rate of the GPU is lower, it bottlenecks the CPU since it’s also involved to a smaller degree, in rendering real frames. (Preparing data, sending it to the GPU, certain operations which are faster on the CPU that involve rendering like maybe using MMX or other CPU extensions.

    So basically the less real frames you have, the longer the wait between when you game engine can detect mouse and keyboard events and update the game world, even if you are getting 2-3 times the frame rate with generated frames.
