I ask mostly rhetorically to shed light on the idea that state mistreatment of ethnic minorities is a persistent human issue, and that it should be condemned wherever it occurs. The USA’s hands may be uniquely bloodied, but I doubt China’s are squeaky clean. I would expect any state of sufficient size and power to eventually be guilty of this.

I wonder if China’s population is more or less ethnically and culturally homogeneous than that of the USA, and whether this should be considered a bit of an apples to oranges comparison.

Any informed opinions on whether Chinese people are in general more or less racist than Americans?

I love this so much.

I love Inkscape so much.

Donated!

I just gave a talk on how to use more CSS and less JS; it’s uncannily like they were watching what little JS I still had in there and decided to make it unnecessary. This is awesome.

Works great on Steam Deck / Proton on Linux though.

Just as the Epstein files come out, what a coincidence.

Just one in four??

I’ve been all Wayland for years on Intel and AMD, never had a single problem. I’ve also been choosing those GPUs due to their high quality open source drivers, and I don’t regret it.

Pretty much! As in, same goal as Vulkan, but realizing that Vulkan and friends were released ten years ago, and GPUs have changed a lot since then.

What went down, and when??

The battery life is a non issue for me so far.

It’s much lighter both in my pocket and my hands. It feels much less obtrusive in a pocket overall despite the bump, which when holding it one-handed can sometimes even be an affordance that keeps it from slipping.

I actually really liked it when I tried, so I got one. I realized that I do want a phone that makes its presence more lightly known.

I don’t know, but I do know that many games perform even better on Linux these days.

As a software engineer, I will tell you that to put game-specific optimizations in drivers seems like a horrifying practice that should never have become commonplace, and probably leads to piles of hacks and unmanageable complexity. I have doubts as to whether Mesa and/or the Linux kernel would accept such a thing in open-source drivers.

In the long run, we’re probably better off with clean, maintainable code. I’d rather have that than a few extra FPS any day.

I’ll continue to buy AMD because of their excellent open source drivers on Linux.

But also, talking down to Windows users is not a good way to invite them to join us.

Intermediate Linux user + 6 months of Gentoo = advanced Linux user.

I’m not kidding. You can do this with other distros, but it will get you used to parts of the software engineering process you might not otherwise be exposed to. That was my experience at least.

The red flag I see is the word “Caucasian” in his username.
