What's a good place online to buy a new laptop for a reasonable price? (In Australia)
  • Buy a framework laptop. The earlier gen models are <1000 and you can always upgrade in the future. Their intel core ultra laptops can solidly play baldurs gate III and their AMD models as well.

  • What laptop should I buy?
  • You can get an older generation framework laptop, great Linux and Windows support and you can upgrade the computer down the line.

  • What are your most hated sci-fi/fantasy tropes?
  • Aang's never taken a life except all the times that he did and never felt anything about it.

  • When the worst person you know is right type moment.

    Proprietary antivirus software is a dirty bandaid they use instead of building sustainable supply chains on nonfree operating systems (because it's all about grifting and conning people out of money and gatekeeping computers).

    But yeah this was done probably because kaspersky was disabling anti-features on Windows and was killing the competition. Kaspersky's full scale invasion of boomers' computers.

  • Facebook AI Crushing It Again
  • The veteran homeless thing always confused me. Like he's homeless and disabled, so society doesn't respect him at all. Is there some inherent understanding with boomers that the only way americans would respect their military is if they are a constant caricature of suffering?

    Probably not, just self conscious brainworms.

    Also John Oliver's jokes are mostly unfunny crass yelling at the audience/screen and just relies on the irony poisoning of living in a capitalist society. Every hexbear on this site is funnier than John Oliver, even our beanis comrades.

  • This is so accurate it hurts. I hate even hearing anything negative about the dprk.

  • If DPRK was as irrelevant as they told us, then what's all the panic about?
  • The US relies on its asian puppet colonies KUSA and Japan to act as meaningful proxies. KUSA is mostly filled with forced conscripts so judging from the IOF, they don't look like to be an actual competant fighting force. Also in the event of war, military command goes to the US who, as we've seen in Ukraine and Occupied Palestine + Yemen, are so corrupt that it would be a liability so there is a possibility of refuseniks/mutinies in the KUSA army.

    Artillery shells are pointed at seoul at all times and can wipe out the entire city in a matter of hours. This inevitably means that SK's economy collapses as all the Chaebols and other assorted bourgeoisie flee and the entire country is militarized while the CIA controlled Korean government would spend all its time doing the classic slava Ukranian trick of kidnapping conscripts and whatnot.

    The US backed NATO can't join the conflict because of Comrade Kim Jong Un's investment in nuclear ICBMs (Ukraine much?), inevitably, South Korea's place in the global supply chain would be used as a threat to G7 and the global south to support the war while further isolating the US.

    A war with the DPRK could be a flashpoint to a proletarian revolution in KUSA and a complete breakdown of Chaebols which is why the endlessly corrupt and cruel south korean government would never go to war unless the US forced then to (meaning that the Chaebols would know in advance, the optics of which could prove fatal to the rogue state of the ROK).

  • Apple Is Joining The AI Cash Grab

    TL;DW: Apple Intelligence is Apple training their models locally on your personal Apple product data (aka anything you do on an iPhone, Mac, iPad or your Apple ID) using their Apple Silicon chips as well as building a Apple Siri voice assistant client for OpenAI's ChatGPT. The features seem gatekept to newer Apple products and they claim it's opt-in.

    It looks like "AI" is here to stay as capitalists have placed it in most supply chains and industries. Goes without saying, but don't buy Apple, you're just buying yourself a one-way trip to a digital jail where the walls are made out of "seamless apple ecosystem" and "shiny metal devices that are cold to the touch."

    Especially don't buy anything from the Apple Store because that's trashy Global North treat brain behavior.

    Waiting for explicit sync in wayland.

    (Angrily taps foot)

    I wanna play my fitgirl repacks minus all the stuttering but nvidia is transphobic :(((

    Tried NVK but then realized that all my apps don't have it turned on yet because mesa 24.1 hasnt been released and so they default to OpenGL or don't run at all.

    The wait is so excrutiating because it's right there. Just give me my nvidia 555 driver naowhhhh!!!

    Anyone else feel like this?

    Linux gaming >>> Windows gaming tho.

    Vietnam bans Valve's monopolistic game platform Steam
    www.eurogamer.net Steam is now banned in Vietnam

    Steam has been banned in Vietnam.As first reported by Game Developer and spotted by our sister site, GamesIndustry.biz,…

    Steam is now banned in Vietnam

    > However, as reported in Vietnam.net, it's possible Steam has been taken down in Vietnam after local game developers complained about the scope and size of Steam's vast portfolio of games, claiming Vietnamese devs cannot compete with Steam's releases given they are subject to government approval and thousands of international games on Steam are not. > > Citing it as "an injustice to domestic publishers", Vietnamese studios reportedly say that local game development "will die" if Steam is able to keep releasing games without the same government scrutiny as domestic games.

    Based Vietnam protecting its domestic games industry from American capitalists. :)

    > TLDR: the online game monopolies of Vietnam complains that they can't extort the market share our Lord and Savior Gabe Newell rightfully earned," said one unhappy Steam user.

    Steam users are so fucking insufferable. They hate all capitalist game companies except this one which they will eagerly lick the boot of.

    Correcting libs on CCP vs. CPC

    It's tiring to tell libs that its actually CPC instead of CCP.

    • CCP = Chinese China Party (???)
    • CPC = Chinese Party of China (correct)

    I'm literally going to drop kick someone who gets it wrong!!!

    Thoughts? Is it worthwhile to correct people on this?

    r/linux moment: Scolds trans woman for being too mean to a transphobe

    CW: Transphobia, ableism, misgendering

    I've posted a video from Nicco Loves Linux covering the whole situation to the libre community here for context.

    TL;DR: Vaxry, the lead developer of the popular Hyprland wayland compositor and tiling window manager has been banned from ever contributing a patch to freedesktop, a highly influential software group that is responsible for the modern Linux Desktop. This was due to him violating freedesktop's code of conduct because of his toxic discord community and crypto-fash blog. Vaxry then writes two screeds and throws a public temper tantrum, leading to inevitable clash when his nazi friends harass the freedesktop people.

    (EDIT: Removed direct links to blog, the entire blog is pretty reactionary outside of the purely software related posts) The blog posts that got them banned:

    I want to be vegan, how can I start?
    meat/carnism

    Background: I come from a bengali family so my diet basically consisted of curry with various different meats (lamb, chicken, beef, duck, pigeon and sometimes fish) with some sides like potatos, lentils, flatbread etc. My parents have mostly moved away from meat due to their health but I feel like I'm only getting worse. My university advertises meat and non-vegan foods a lot so it feels impossible for me to switch/don't know how to switch.

    I really want to stop eating meat and sometimes I'm able to not eat meat for a couple days but it doesn't last because I just give up whenever my parents cook something really nice or I'm eating with friends.

    So how do I start a vegan diet and actually stick to it? Mostly looking for starter vegan foods that I can use to wean myself off from my carnism while studying at university.
