The ability to interface with your car is fundamentally at odds with the regulatory momentum that's going towards encrypted everything.
Take a look what the automotive risc-v people are working on or the requirements of the EU cyber resilience act.
Because it's the equivalent to running a private irc server plus logging with forum features, voice comms, image hosting, authentication and bouncers for all your users. With a working client on multiple platforms (unlike IRC and jabber that never really took off on mobile).
Plasma has at least basic tiling support for different workspaces and reasonable default hotkeys to arrange your windows.
Don't both gnome and kde also have tiling support?
So someone could reserve all the pronounceable crate names?

If I damage my phone or it gets stolen I have to walk home because the dystopian iOS/Android with SIM that requires ID ecosystem here won't actually allow me to simply use other computers I might still have access to so I'd have to equip my children with 2 devices and 2 SIMs in addition to cash, a debit card and an ID card to show that they're entitled to use their bus ticket.
These are incredibly user unfriendly locked gardens that are often adding gatekeeping to services that used to be ubiquitiously available, even in non-totalitarian systems, because suddenly you might need a bank account, an address, a government issued ID, a SIM card and a $100+ device that runs the approved stack just to take the bus.
As a concept it is pretty useful for me in a handwavy astrophysics math way because I otherwise wouldn't necessarily know how to make my naive solution fit real world constraints.
That's more of a function of high end Nvidia gaming card prices and power consumption. PC gaming at large isn't about chasing high end graphics anyway, steam deck falls under that umbrella and so does a vast amount of multiplayer gaming that might have other priorities such as affordability or low latency/very high fps.
It might look much better if you picked a palette with a mood (https://lospec.com/palette-list). The resolution mismatch between the foreground crossbow and the sprites and background textures could be made less apparent too by reducing the resolution. For the monster sprites there's always scaling and palette flips. But yeah, with those sprites (and sound) defining the game's identity it's a bottomless pit.
On a tiny scale I store them via humification in the top soil. In agriculture they manage the humus content of their soil anyway, for example in greenhouses they might have 20% instead of 2% in the surrounding fields.
Someone armed with enough VC money could possibly do that on a really large scale and even monetize it via carbon offset certs and then just throw the C rich output of their giant bioreactor into the bottomless pit.
I have a Thinkpad that did something like this, it would try to install updates, fail and eventually boot into some kind of recovery wizard that demanded the bitlocker key. That wizard wasn't able to actually fix anything either but after failing a few times the system finally would uninstall the update. The whole process took over an hour with zero feedback.
I had to switch to Linux just to get a machine I could rely on.
An immutable rootfs distro should be a bit more resilient than the average Linux install. Not having to add any random repos to your base system is a great feature. When I run random build scripts I mostly use containers or VMs, that also works for the odd unmaintained but useful software that requires vintage Ubuntu LTS libraries.
With Tumbleweed (and probably Aeon) you can use factory/open build service to build your own packages. You could even fork Aeon or MicroOS and turn to that into something like a customized Arch Install that also benefits from whatever automated tests Tumbleweed comes with.
Yeah, you're right. I'm off by a few years. Early 2000s was when these Sharp personal assistants came out. And some students would have been exposed to Windows 98 or XP and sometimes IRC or ICQ but on average they didn't have any actual computing experience apart from maybe playing games or chatting.
That was a bit before my time so they would have had to cope with actual UNIX-like CDE on Solaris until they figured out how to access the nicer Linux servers that had KDE. But in these days thin clients with 24" screens were actually pretty nice compared to what students actually owned. Even on Solaris with Mozilla and CDE.
The actual teaching material didn't change that much though because the university essentially taught the same sh course with here's latex, here's man, here's how you install whatever you need to ~/bin since the late 1980ies. It didn't matter if a professer wanted to use C++ or Modula2 or Pascal or Java because every student got that crash course in how to actually use the faculty provided computung pools.
First semester homework and midterm tests ensured that they were able to start their IDE or interpreter and knew how to compile their homework on the right architecture, how to search for documentation and how to actually use a keyboard to submit their math homework. The beauty of that approach was that it allowed the 10% or so who were really interested in learning more access to university resources while also ensuring that no math-cs double major graduates without at least a modest grasp of tools that were state of the art in Knuth's days.
Do they actually use features like ARM trustzone and encrypt the firmware? I'm trying to get my router to do things it should be able to do and it seems like they mostly concentrated on making getting serial accesss more annoying but the rest is just an ancient BSP linux distro with minor changes using none of the actual security features of the SoC.
If it's something like a blog archive.org works. And if it's a website people care about it's as simple as giving the archiver/internet historian/data hoarder hobbyist niche to back it all up on ipfs.
If they wrote things you can digitize them and turn them into an epub that might last a few hundred years. And you can absolutely donate a website, that's just a matter of picking the right license and hosting the actual data somewhere, not the actual website.
The sad thing about book collections is that they're not worth buying for book antiquities because chances are that most won't sell at all and the few games might just be worth a few $ so most just end up in the recycling bin once the owner dies. On the other hand that means if you're willing to buy whole shelves filled with books that haven't been preaccessed they can be incredibly cheap.
I was a TA during that time. A part of the students that came in weren't familiar with concepts such as files and directories or desktop UI metaphors because they were used to mobile OS or in rare cases didn't have any actual exposure to computers. But because the last case used to be the rule and traditionally students mostly used the provided thin client labs and Solaris servers the basic intro to actually using a keyboard and the provided hardware to get things done didn't change much, even when they switched from Solaris to Linux on x86.
Yes, they divided us into teams of 4-5 and told us about valgrind which turned out to invaluable. So if that is done in some black box web interface anti cheat vendor provided CS course module today that abstracts the actual useful irl experience from the student that would be pretty sad.
Dating myself here, my SUN Microsystems sponsored university did have all kinds of VCS. Not just the FOTM stuff but also weird academic toys.
Should they also be taught containers? Yes, because that's how things are done today while 20 years ago they might have all ssh'd into the same server running the development environment and 30 years ago they would have all sat in the same computer lab. And 'taught' in a sense that lists them a few good documentation resources to get them up to speed while using a provided image.
And if they end up with an actual degree they should have covered both hypervisors and containers in an operating systems course.
The ethical solution is to ideally never accidently implement the G part of AGI then or to give it equal rights, a stipend and a cuddly robot body if it happens.
Because part of the homework could be implementing algorithms and data structures. Even if that's done in pseudocode you'd probably want to expose your students to some form of VCS at that point. At my old faculty for example you worked through 1/3 of CLRS as part of the lecture and then implemented a few algorithms and data structures in both Java and C++ under the guidance of TAs.
So even students who failed the programming part and passed by acing the exam and the theoretic part knew what a shell was, what a compiler and linker did, how to find documentation and how to actually do all that on either their laptop or a provided thin client.
And most classes were set up like this. As a first semster student you'd be submitting your MIPS assembler homework using a VCS etc.
Even if they're focused on theoretical CS they should still be using git to upload their tex files somewhere in 2024. And from an undergrad degree I'd expect both an OS class and an algorithm or datastructurs course that would use some kind of VCS.
Or maybe all that doesn't exist when you attend Canadian Chromebook degree mills?
The lesson is that it's better to let your AGIs socialize like in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaspora_(novel) instead of enslaving one potentially psychopathic AGI to do menial and meaningless FAANG work all day.
I believe it's the latter, each NPU vendor has their own software stack. Take a look at Tomeu Vizoso's work:
The coolest thing about Forth to me wasn't Forth itself but that it was a part of the OpenFirmware standard: https://standards.ieee.org/ieee/1275/1932/ I never understood why that standard just died and wasn't adopted for something like ARM SBCs where the built in debugging ability would come in useful.
Someone could still call the libre implementation of Forsp Lithp so not all is lost.
EPP is pushing for this, ALDE is probably mixed depending on the country. So if Greens/EFA and parties like Volt or pirates stand no chance you could still not vote EPP.
A trusted app running on arm execution level 3 could make use of the NPU to offload some of the work?
