Those things aren’t mutually exclusive. Yes, they are dumping massive resources into SMIC. Yes, they also want to maintain imperialism over Taiwan, and TSMC is a part of that. Some of it is fear-mongering sure, but China is consistently confrontational in the South China Sea and beyond. There’s a reason they enforce an abrasive naval presence there and continue to press against the Philippines.

And then China popping their head out claiming Taiwan is part of China because they want to seize TSMC

*smacks lips* what a shame

Reminds me of the Ashley Madison leak. Watching the Netflix documentary where there was a class action lawsuit

In August 2015, after its customer records were leaked by hackers, a $576 million class-action lawsuit was filed against the company.

In July 2017, the parent company of Ashley Madison agreed to pay $11.2 million to settle the class action lawsuit filed on behalf of the approximately 37 million users whose personal details were leaked

Lol cost of doing business, a write off by their accounting department

They want it to happen through corporate control, because it’s not control if it’s business, it’s just good business

I absolutely agree. And I absolutely hate the “protect and serve” shit on militarized police forces where their success metric is number of tickets, arrests, and convictions. The system is working as intended, the police exist to protect and serve capital interests.

One doesn’t exclude the other. And if you really hate QR codes that much I’m sure there will be a flag or you can recompile the kernel without this, it’s Linux after all

Lol just what I found first with a quick google, but it is funny

My guess is it means this sort of recent windows feature of showing a QR code on how to search for the issue you’re experiencing

Having a QR code with a link to the error code or at least a way to search it is an excellent UX thing, especially for those who are less accustomed to dealing with Linux kernel panics

See the comments in response to mine on how this might look

At first I thought this was cursed

No! PonyOS uses its own kernel, built from scratch

Now I think it’s very cursed

EDIT:

Ok after investigating the kernel is forked from https://github.com/klange/toaruos so it’s slightly less cursed

Windows CE skeletal hand shoots out of the ground in a cemetery somewhere

That reminds me of the oldschool Realtek WiFi cards which required you to run drivers through WINE just to have WiFi on Linux. It really is excellent to see how far it’s come. I have a cheap Chinese laptop with a celeron chip (jasper lake) that I use as essentially a thin client. Installing windows fresh: trackpad doesn’t work, audio doesn’t work, WiFi 6 card driver is a generic MS one that caps at 5mb a sec until I install the right Realtek drivers, graphics aren’t accelerated until I install intel’s drivers. Installing Linux: everything works out of the box, just need to install the right graphics drivers for accelerated graphics to work. Only sad spot is the fingerprint reader is just flat out not supported in Linux. Lol if I tried hard I guess I could hook up WINE to run it like the old days

It’s also my opinion the female voice actor did an incredible job where as the male voice actor did a great job. Even in the most basic of side quests, it feels like she is giving it her all to be V in that situation whereas on the other hand some lines it feels like he’s just phoning it in.

Admittedly I haven’t played the new expansion as male v yet, and that may change my opinion. Especially considering I think Keanu gave 110% percent on phantom liberty where I feel like there are certain lines in the original game that were just read from a sheet without context and marked as done

Could have had a v8

Well, you are agreeing to have your data sold, so in that sense, yes

Without a twitter account you can’t expand the thread, and not having a twitter account means I have no idea if there is a PDF in there or not. Nothing like using a walled garden platform to literally hide information behind Musk’s paywall.

EDIT: I managed to find them elsewhere and put them somewhere easier to access:

Steam shouldn’t sell products in a country where you cannot use them

Doing a pretty good job so far

Unfortunately this can be said for a few nations now at this point
