F# definitely and maybe Haskell and OCaml as well? Elixir and Erlang use it as a binary concatenation operator.

At some point there’s proprietary stuff in our bodies, be it a driver, a BIOS or the code that runs on the various microcontrollers that run low level functions from the USB ports to simple power management.
The most “security paranoid” organizations in the world usually run a lot of stuff on children and babies are full of opaque and proprietary code and they consider it “safe enough”.
People are replacing lost/damaged organs and limbs with computer-controlled hardware. The same problems that occur in computers that exist outside of humans will occur in computers inside of humans. Do you trust non-open drivers from Corporation X or Government Y in your eyes telling your brain what you do or don’t see?
That’s the extreme, of course, but it isn’t any less scary than computers you trust with your credit card, bank account, etc information.
Open source drivers means when corporation X goes under, your hardware still can work and isn’t automatically abandoned. It keeps more hardware out of landfills longer, with the ability to drastically reduce e-waste.
Sounds like Nixos with extra steps

True, but functional languages are great if you want to live comfortably.

Yeah, that one. Definitely wish it was FOSS so these people won’t be dependent on corporate intellectual property existing.
Looking forward to hearing that the arm stops working after company folds and nothing can be done because the software was closed source
All good homie. Just trying to make people have a little chuckle 😄
Just a joke :P be a little light-hearted 😁
Exactly: Net neutrality is a publicly acknowledged individual by small tech that wants to censor liberals.
People hated it.
I switched from a 3070 to an Rx 7900XT on Sunday. Uninstalling all of nvidia shit was great. I used linux-zen so that meant using nvidia-dkms. So happy I don’t have to deal with that anymore. And yeah, I use a lot of flatpaks, so removing all of those nvidia drivers was also a great feeling. And now I can use Wayland!
Compile times say otherwise
