I’ll just leave this here… https://debian.org/

It’s disappointing yet unsurprising to read the recurring answers, namely :

• cost
• incumbency

precisely because it’s absolutely avoidable and a well known strategy. It’s so well known that it’s precisely why Micro$lop bought Github in the first place. People are there and the free tiers is enough to get the long tail.

Meanwhile since that strategy happened people who consider smart enough should know the genuine cost behind this : it’s a TRAP. Plain and simple, you get there and you get STUCK there.

So… yes it takes some sweat and even some money to leave the trap … but if you care about freedom, as most free software or open-source developers might, then it’s aligned with your value.

Doubt it, most other online stores with the same coverage do offer similar conditions.

Right, like how Micro$lop :

• blocked repository search without login (while it worked before the acquisition)
• pushed in the most traditional Micro$lop fashion for its own product, e.g. Copilot, with in product ads
• use repositories as ways to feed its own set of products, e.g. Azure for OpenAI, in order to push for code generation while ignoring licenses

and all the other things (please feel free to make this list more comprehensive) as “reparations”?

It’s the same old "Embrace, extend, and extinguish " (EEE) scheme they’ve been (sadly successfully) running for decades now.

So happy with my 2nd hand Pixel 8. No BS, ecologically acceptable IMHO and yes runs most Android apps thanks to GrapheneOS.

You jest but it’s a thing https://cooldowns.dev/

what breaks the immersion

This isn’t a game, it’s about your freedom, our freedom.

If you want to use Brave to watch YouTube… well I don’t think you really care. The fact that somehow watching a video on a gaming rig isn’t fast enough so clearly not normal. That being said honestly it’s good you did try.

Artwork idea : load thermostat.

You can’t start a new application if your room is above a temperature threshold.

Extension artwork idea : load credits.

If you do delegate some load to a non digital form, e.g reading a paper book instead of watching a movie, then you “earn” some credits you might use to bypass the load thermostat “when you really need it”.

Measure your system, e.g. Zigbee thermometer for your actual room power draw so the plug for your entire system, computer obviously but also screen, speakers, etc even AirCo unit or physical fans if you have some for the room itself.

That’s the only way to know what is actually happening.

If you do not want to go down that path then the heuristic is simple : the heavier the load on either CPU, or GPU, or obviously both, the higher the temperature. If you have a dynamic system, anything built this last few decades or so, then the fans will not kick in under a threshold which you can consider won’t significantly heat up your room.

TL;DR: if you start to hear fans spinning, you have to reduce your load.

Sorry to be that guy but… why? The whole motivation behind PDF is precisely NOT to be edited, NOT to be responsive, but rather to provide the SAME output, mostly text based, anywhere and everywhere.

I’m not saying she shouldn’t edit PDF but I also have to clarify it is not "normal’.

I’ll refrain from recommending anything before actually understanding the motivation behind her workflow.

FWIW bought my Pixel 2nd hand

I’m not familiar with lcpi but I’d ask in https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools/issues as it’s quite active despite not being maintained.

Alpine in container is typically considered the smallest one can conveniently use (not going through LinuxFromScratch or writing your own OS). I did some tinkering a while back ending up with 14.29MiB memory footprint.

I’m not sure you’re understanding my perspective so I can make it explicit : I took their comment as snarky, not helpful, trying to make their view as objective without helping me and others understanding why their position was better.

Were you not condescending? Don’t you believe you started this?

You could have said :

• Revenue is not precise enough, operational profit would be a better metric
• Operational profit is more representative of the situation and for HP it’s [insert value]

or basically anything that prompts a discussion by kindly clarifying.

Instead you basically said “Apples are not oranges” and now you are saying replies are toxic.

earnings before taxes was 3 279m so 100k is well nothing.

Genuinely confused now, are you say “your nothing” is different from “my nothing”?

Damn, sounds like a wild guess though, how about revenue? /s

Right… which… is why I wrote revenue and not operational profit? Was I unclear? What should I have shared instead? Please feel free to clarify directly with whatever you believe would be better and why, we can all learn.

lol, $100k+… HP revenue in 2024 was $53,559,000k.

Dell same year $88,000,000k and Lenovo $69,000,000k, so ~$50B to $90B

I let you calculate the percentage but… I’d guesstimate it’s approximately nothing.
