IP can’t save itself from AI

For when you need a computer that’s “fully functional“

Sheesh M4 Support already? Wow.

While the Apple M4 SoCs aren’t yet supported by the mainline Linux kernel and the Apple M3 series hardware isn’t yet ready for end-users, there are some early elements of the Apple M4 support beginning to come together by open-source developers working on the Apple Silicon support. Sent out to the Linux kernel mailing list were patches for enabling NVMe solid state drive support with the M4.

Oh, still…

I know. It was a joke.

But, at least for now, ai doesn’t really do anything, either, at least not anything particularly meaningful. It’s a McGuffin for billionaires to slush money around and profit from others investing in bunk stock. They’re making trillions in a gigantic pump and dump scheme, and right before the bubble bursts, they’re gonna cash out and fuck off leaving everyone else to get screwed

Lol, sorry Al, I got there first!

Edit: but I love that dude so much, he can fucking have it

Yeah, I remember that too because I was a teenager when that was in the newspapers, and people were like “whatever”

So gross

I just can’t help myself from faaaaaallin’

Elon-gate recalled a meme from some forgotten box

A 1996 vintage, I believe? South African. A rosy nose, full-bodied, with a turd finish.

Hmmm… I think it needs to be something with more ‘bite’. “Musking it up” sounds like a 90s sitcom dad-move. Like something Tim Allen might have tried on Home Improvement.

“Livin’ On the Eggs!”

“Just can’t help myself from breeeeding!”

Ok, fucking yikes— no, that was somehow even more 90s, and incredibly terrifying. Apologies to anyone who gets the reference. and to literally every member of Aerosmith.

Is it… Reaganomics?

Or, more specifically, Ponzi scheme?

There’s probably a more contemporaneous name… Something involving Elon Musk I’m sure

Oh! Welcome to the 1980s

Mmmmyeeaahhh, maybe, but I am a couple decades past trying to read the tea leaves with that guy. If that’s what he really meant, he could’ve come out and just said that – but he didn’t. He was intentionally ambiguous, mostly because I think he’s just tired of dealing with the issue (and an increasingly cunty crowd), and wanted to push the responsibility of making a decision off of himself and back onto the users. I will admit that he is far more composed than I would be in his position.

On one hand, I don’t blame him, but on another hand, I really wish he would’ve taken a stance (prefer preferably anti-AI).

He gave a professional response to a gigantic community because he has a professional responsibility to do so. Personally, I think he gave the only response he could. What does he personally think? Like I said, I’m a couple of decades past trying to read the tea leaves on that guy. But you could be right.

Linus:

The bootloader has already seen fixes because of issues asahi uncovered.

Oh, I didn’t know that.

You know what they say: a rising tide lifts all boats

Also, Apple was questioned about this when the project started, and they basically said that they wish the project the best of luck and that Apple isn’t going to do anything to stand in their way.

As absurdly proprietary as Apple‘s hardware is, they’ve never explicitly done anything to block others from running different software on it. Yes, it is difficult to do so under certain circumstances, for all sorts of weird proprietary, Apple reasons, but to explicitly go out of their way to block it? Certainly never on their computers.

Although they do completely lock out their EFI and boot controllers, but they say that strictly a matter of preserving system security or whatever, and that’s believable. Inconvenient, but because that is also extremely proprietary, I believe them.

After all, I have fedora running on a 14 year-old iMac, and it was surprisingly easy to install. The only issues I had related to a dead internal display, but I would imagine I would also have similar problems with any other all-in-one computer with a dead internal display.

Wait, what?!

Almost bit the onion on this one

Recently switched to Fedora myself, and I could not be happier ❤️
