Hopefully this results in even better drivers for Linux. I wonder if the graphics cards they have planned will have good Linux drivers too. I've always had a good experience with their Linux integrated graphics drivers so far.

None of them did. I think this person is just making that up.

I don't really follow android much anymore, so does anyone know how this would compare to iOS's privacy systems?

They may have the ability to be general purpose platforms but they are specifically marketed as gaming devices for gamers meanwhile smartphones are marketed to the general populace. The Xbox and PlayStation sell maybe 10 million consoles a year meanwhile the iPhone is 200+ million.

It was a common refrain from people who were afraid to admit they read playboy to people in public that they just "read it for the articles" because they had surprisingly in-depth articles, interviews, etc. It's also why that persons analogy falls flat since no one is afraid to admit they listen to Joe Rogan.

Yeah I'm really hopeful there will be a move to more power efficient chips in them. I love this laptop but the battery life from this chipset is a real downer.

I was thinking of maybe investing in Monero actually. I would really appreciate some suggestions on a wallet for that if you don't mind!

Do you know of any good, trustworthy ones?

This is the version you are looking for: https://frame.work/laptop-diy-edition

Yes, this is my only beef with the laptop so far. I really hope we get a firmware update with S3 enabled soon.

Updated a bit ago and it is a fantastic release so far. Yaru is very mature by now and the speed improvements for animations in Gnome 40 are very evident.

I don't notice a difference since upgrading from the deb to the snap.

First, I've seen Arabic TikTok creators and I don't need to be lectured about their presence and content.

Second, that is not the argument I am making. The ancient Egyptian clay pot at a museum was just an example. I stated the act of getting money is not devoid of the context of which it was acquired when it comes to art.

What a shockingly simplistic view of art you have. It pains me to know that the cultural artifacts of my people will be viewed by you in the same vein as a 30 second TikTok video.

TikTok is a social media platform that makes money from other people creating content for others to consume. Individuals get money for either sponsoring a product or getting many views. How is this the same as someone paying for a clay pot in Ancient Egypt that we admire at today in a museum? The act of getting money is not devoid of the context of which it was acquired.

Culturally significant art was created for money in a different way than a global brand like TikTok creates content for money habibi. They are not equivalent no matter how hard you try to fit your square block in the circular hole.

There is a difference between a museum, which curates culturally significant art from places around the world and at home, to TikTok, a social media app that is for making money.

This was only true a couple months ago and required a them to be sued by Epic (and a general "trust busting" attitude from the new admin) for them to drop it. They didn't do it out of the goodness of their hearts.

Thanks for the info! I'll be placing an order soon. This seems amazing!

I don't know this persons case but some of the people I knew really needed the problem stated for them to truly acknowledge it. My close friend had a video game addiction and refused to see it as a problem.

I wasn't meaning to stop cold turkey, there is a whole process to quitting addiction. Sometimes people need to be pointed at what is causing the issue and then help on how to get out of it.

I think he meant "stop playing video games" which is solid advice.

Mabrook ya Dalia!

I have a feeling they are going to release something on Tuesday. They just gave the same notice to a-shell too to remove `pip`, `wasm`, and `curl`.

It really doesn't because your rephrasing elides the real question: "Does your neighbor have the liberty to play loud music around their neighbors" and the answer to that question in some states is "no, after a certain time."

Freedom from something requires them to have power over you. Your neighbor really doesn't in the same way the government does, an invading foreign power, or, the way GNU argues it, the way corporations do with their software licensing and copyright.

Because the term freedom usually means freedom from something (government, corporations, etc.). However, the original article seems to confuse this with what is traditionally called liberty (the freedom to do as you please).

Your restated question doesn't pick up on this, you are just stating how someones liberty to do as they please interferes with your ability to do as you please on your property in a simpler format. No one is being freed from the other.

> Either way, the article wasn't intended as a complete in-depth examination of the concepts of freedom and liberty (and the possible distinction between them), but rather offer some commentary on the state of the public debate surrounding these things as I see it.

Respectfully, habibi, your argument can be easily broken down because you conflate the two concepts in your piece, so you should expect push back on that aspect of it.

What the GNU philosophy advocates is that these freedoms are necessary to make sure YOU are free from corporations, governments, etc. What you keep conflating freedom with in the piece is with the liberty to do as you please. In the GNU argument, the liberty to do as you please with code is contingent on you being free from oppressive structures that are made by those who write it. A good example is why the press is able to do as they please being contingent on a government guaranteeing a "freedom of the press", i.e. freedom from their interference.

From the "Freedom or Power?" GNU argument:

"We believe you should decide what to do with the software you use; however, that is not what today's law says. Current copyright law places us in the position of power over users of our code, whether we like it or not. The ethical response to this situation is to proclaim freedom for each user, just as the Bill of Rights was supposed to exercise government power by guaranteeing each citizen's freedoms."

Hopefully, I was able to show you the connection between the two now.

EDIT: Grammar

I really believe so too! I just hope that goes downstream to the undergrads in the fields too.

Yeah I know what you mean. I'm mechanical engineering (Controls) and the vast majority of them still use MATLAB, but they are slowly moving towards more open computing languages. I can only consider this a great thing! :)

The issue I see is with the undergraduate curriculum in many Universities. This is where I see the legacy use of MATLAB is really hurting the future generation of students. Many still don't know proper programming fundamentals because MATLAB really isn't set up to be a good starting point for programming in general. To me, MATLAB is a great tool IF you know how to program already.
