@ryo That still doesn't change the fact that even those ThinkPads and ToughBooks will inevitably fail. I'm not against using old computers. If you are able to use a 2009 Thinkpad as your daily driver, then that's great.
I also kind of feel obligated to support these alternative hardware manufacturers, so there will still be that option when using old Thinkpads becomes next to impossible (it would probably take decades but still).
Also, think of a scenario where more and more people wake up to what hardware manufactures like HP, Dell, Apple, Nvidia, Intel, AMD, etc are doing and learn that they can just use older computers if they use a lightweight Linux distro. Prices for older computers would skyrocket. I see the same thing happening with used cars now that they are literally putting DRM (with some countries even mandating it) in cars. The only difference with computers is that there aren't that many countries mandating backdoors in computers (yet).
Basically, I just see using older computers as a short-term solution to a long-term problem.
@beardalaxy They're going to keep on creating glowie-ops and keep the flag at half-mast until people start begging to repeal the second amendment.
@terminalautism I know next to nothing about schizophrenia, but I do notice that he seemed much calmer during interviews or in his demonstration videos about his OS. Though in his vlogs and livestreams, it's a different story.
He also only seemed to get truly racist and vulgar when dealing with incompetent people or when people criticize his OS.
>And I don't think it was the medication either, because he was coherent when he was already homeless.
That actually might be the cigarettes. I heard that actually the one health benefit of smoking.
@Indigo The EU might as well be the United States of Europe at this point so that doesn't make things any better.
As for oil, there has been a conspiracy theory going around that the idea that oil is a fossil fuel that is only found in certain areas is just a myth created by the Rockefellers and that it's actually more abundant than we think. If that is true and the secessionist governments find that out, it could help.
And how would we know that these secessionists states aren't controlled opposition? Even at the state and even local level, you see governments trying to achieve those same Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development goals.
@Indigo I can see the lame excuses to prevent it right now.
"Texas want's to separate so they can genocide their trans population."
"If they separate, how are we supposed to achieve our sustainability goals?"
Doing hand-drawn sprites seems to be much easier than I thought. Too bad I can't draw for shit, and using hand drawn graphics while programming your games "from scratch" sounds like a programming nightmare.
Pope Francis has a "respiratory infection" and will need to spend “a few days” in hospital for treatment.
@ryo As someone who was raised Catholic, I just find it amusing that someone can claim to talk to God and yet act the way he acts.
Also, Temple OS is a fun operating system to mess around with.
@ryo His word salad reminds me of Terry.
