Good grief what a stupid future we live in.
And "sad bits" makes perfect sense.
I'm glad i switched to mint on my laptop, I hope it only continues to improve. If only we could self-manufacture the hardware, too...
At this point I'm so fucking fed up with the industry gatekeeping users, colluding against us, outright ABANDONING us because the fucking AI firms "bought all of our manufacturing output", I don't think I would even mind that much if I have to sacrifice a closet, or a whole room of my house, to contain the much bulkier homebrewed DIY electronics.
If 64 gigs of RAM a couple friends manufactured in their garage had to take up the space of a refrigerator -- not a mini-fridge, i mean a whole fucking full scale kitchen appliance, I WOULD RATHER MAKE ROOM THAN PAY THOSE FUCKING CORPO PARASITES EVER AGAIN.
I mean....yeah....I guess I could live with homebrew tech on a scale of 64gb of ram being the size of a full fridge.....but where the fuck do I put it?! Between the my wife and I there's barely enough space for us and just our stuff in the house we own....😒🖕 Fucking Big Corpo Tech is in bed with Big Housing to conspire against the space required for Big HomebrewTech to be a contender.....
