What about Hygon?

I haven't heard of them until this comment, but reading through Wikipedia, and a techpowerup article, I'm not seeing that they actually own a license to manufacture x86 cpus freely. It seems like they were able to due to it being a partnership with AMD. I could easily be wrong though.

Genuine question-

How does Govt picking winners and losers going to help?

Intel is no Too big to fail Bank. Why save Intel of all chip manufacturers? Wouldnt it be like 25 years too late, with Intel and its heydays !?

Would Govt now ensure parity by investing in "marquee" entities across different industrial domains?

I don't expect a good reason given the history of this Administration, but a reason in my mind to save Intel is there's only 3 license holders for x86 CPUs. Intel, AMD (American), and VIA (Taiwanese). A dead Intel leaves a single American company that is able to make x86 processors, and a monopoly for actually good x86 CPUs. But somehow I suspect there's no logical reason for this besides lining the pockets of those in the Administration.

This is my main problem with the modern Youtube meta, every single "serious" topic video is +30 mins length. 10 years ago we were perfectly fine with 10 mins stuff but of course algorithms and advertising and nowadays most Youtuber is pushing longer and longer videos as if we are watching peak evening television reporting...

And people click on the those videos, and YouTube recommends them because people like them.

I think Valve will not accept crypto unless they run out of options. They don't accept any games that use NFT's on their platform and haven't added crypto top-ups to this day, even though it would be simple for them via providers like Stripe

Steam used to support Bitcoin to add money to your Steam account. To my knowledge, they removed it due to issues with fees and other stuff.

I think they publicized it so they could obscurely use it for military purposes. The users are easy to spot if they are all military users. Get tons and tons of regular users to use it and you obscure who is trying to hide.

I've also read this at some point. Bit hard to have deniability if you're hacking into $ENEMY_COUNTRY servers using a network that only the US Government has access to.

Thanks so much for saying so. Not sure if you are on the latest major release yet, but hopefully you've seen that resource usage is much lower and response times are even faster.

fishgoesblub · a month ago

I am! I have my container auto-update so I'm always up to date :) I personally haven't seen decreased response times, though that's likely because my personal instance was already around 30-60ms to generate the page, pretty darn quick regardless!

I'm a big fan of Gitea. Incredibly easy to setup with Docker and is fast. As a user, it's incredible the difference in responsiveness in a GitLab instance, and a Gitea instance.

Sang at his farewell concert, raised $190 million for childrens charity. Traveled to Switzerland and offed himself before parkinsons ravaged him.

An aristocratic death

I'm not seeing anywhere that he went to Switzerland to have assisted suicide, where was this reported?

Yeah very annoying. They ask for donations constantly but are enjoying keeping everything for themselves.

fishgoesblub · 2 months ago

Especially since the original Escargot server software was open source.

Unfortunately, the dev refuses to opensource this and the Escargot rewrite. There's a FOSS AIM server[1], and apparently it supports ICQ, which is new from the last I saw it.
