  • It's not concerns, it's fear. The problems are not automation or immigration. The problem is empoverishment.

    People fear about automation and immigration because they're sold the idea that they must work or die, but there isn't work for everyone. The liberals love this idea because it enslaves people to their work. Fascists love these ideas because it gives them an enemy to fight for a culture war.

    And here you have an alliance of fascists and liberals. Exactly like in the 30s.

  • The thing is that Hitler didn't make the gas chamber right away in 1933. It's a process. But wasn't it already fascist in 1933? Was nazi Germany fascist when Hitler was elected? Before that, when the nsdap started to be powerful enough to influence the politics? Or only once the weimar Republic was officially dead? What if he had kept the name of the weimar Republic, would it still not be fascist then?

    Take trump: he's not president yet, and he didn't destroy democracy yet. But he already tried a coup. Isn't he a fascist himself? What does he need to do to actually make fascism happen?

  • "something as simple as RDP" haha hahaha you're a funny one!

    My recent experience with helping a friend with an nvidia card to work on Linux is that I never want to touch an nvidia card again.

    Also, please tell me which average user makes its own windows installation. When I was young in the 90s I was paid to install windows in my village.

    But yes, much progress is still needed to smooth the installation. The problem is that the hardware is often a fault though, through their shitty drivers.

  • Fascism has everything to do with poverty and inequalities. And inequalities in Europe are rising a lot. Where do you get your informations?

    Capitalism is a sickness. It breeds crisis that lead to war, and it lives out of war and exploitation. But that's beside the point.

  • All countries of Europe are going fascists one after the other. Why if there is no problem?

    Europe had capitalism under a leash because communism was here to threaten it. Since the 90's, capitalism is unleashed and inequalities are rising. USA didn't had communism to tame its capitalism, because it was basically forbidden because of the cold war.

    Capitalism is entirely focused on having companies making a profit. If you don't have strong states to tame it and redistribute the money, inequalities increase. It's mathematical.

  • The technology required to make a modern computer is, to say the least, not easily accessible. There are very few places we're chips are made. A handful on the planet. I mean in large quantities.

    Otherwise you have laboratories mostly that have the tools to make the chips.

    It is technically possible to make a free computer. But it will be much more expensive and much worse. So why bother?

  • Moor law is dead for a few years now. It's a fact. It doesn't mean performances stoped increasing. But they don't follow the old law. That's why the industry is shifting to distributed networking.

  • None of those are major breakthrough. They're more computing power. It's still the same technology.

    Today llm are the prime candidate for a breakthrough. They still have to prove themselves though, to prove that they're not just a fancy expensive useless toy like the blockchain.

    Risc-v is not meant to be a breakthrough. It's an evolution.

    Internet was a breakthrough. The invention of the mouse was a breakthrough.

    Increase in power or in disk space, new languages or os, none of those are breakthroughs. None of those changed how computer programs were made or used.

    The smartphone is a significant thing. Wi-Fi is not really important though, because you don't do anything more with WiFi than you can do with ethernet. The smartphone though and its network, that is a big thing.

  • There is a lot of fake progress. In computer technology some things were refined, but the only true technological novelty these last 20 years was the containerization. And maybe AI. Internet was the previous jump, but it's not really a computer technology, and it affect much, much more than that.

    And Moor law has already ended some years ago.

  • I wish your fear were justified! I'll praise anything that can kill work.

    Hallas, we're not here yet. Current AI is a glorified search engine. The problem it will have is that most code today is unmaintainable garbage. So AI can only do this for now : unmaintainable garbage.

    First the software industry needs to properly industrialise itself. Then there will be code to copy and reuse.

  • That's plain wrong. That's not honest, that's elitist at best.

    No user ever installed windows. So the whole installation and driver thing is a dishonest question.

    Even for gaming on a custom PC, just take an amd card and games on steam, it'll run smoothly.

    Browsing Internet and desktop? Works fine on Linux. Fuck office, you don't need it.

    If you need a computer for a specific software, that's a different matter. But presenting it like everyone is concerned is dishonest.

    The security paragraph is complete nonsense. And obnoxiously rebooting is a major hindrance for most people, and it's not avoidable without the professional licence.

    It's not 2010 anymore.

  • It is a good game, but you may not like it.

    It is not a pokemon game, it's more like an ark survival evolved clone. It's much more casual, much more polished, lightweight and much less buggy.

    The pokemon thing is a coat of paint, the universe, in a more mature version of it, which many people do like.
