@p@pwm@mrsaturday@sun Repatriating industrial-scale manufacturing would be very hard, but on smaller scale it's possible. Starting small like Purism or System'76 and maybe growing from there organically.
Convincing people to pay premium for local products "in this economy" ain't easy task either. But I think it's possible seeing how things are slowing down in many areas. Even with computer things they have to come up with more and more excuses to convince people to buy new hardware — if this is the case, even from the economy standpoint, some would probably go for products built to last. There is market for it.
@p@pwm@mrsaturday@sun This reminds me I have this piece of equipment designed and manufactured in the US of A, probably explains why it kept working for several decades without repairs, not just years like most modern stuff :marseysaluteusa:
@7666@phnt@p@lanodan@sun@lumi Seems like they've got it fixed eventually still — according to the linked issue. But I agree, things like this just slipping in, and some people justifying it post-factum based on completely unrelated things ("OMG, you are using no longer supported kernel — just get new hardware, lel") is utter insanity :marseysigh:
@icedquinn Well, you also do not magically grow back an arm on walking over a medkit 😏 Games always simplify things to a varying degree, in economic simulators it's probably different from that of an early FPS, but still.
> Linux Foundation Executive Director at least in the past being seen at conferences running Apple macOS Oh, for fuck's sake! No wonder average modern Linux system feels like an cheap plastic Mac OS X knockoff? 😩
@rose systemd 261-rc1 Released With OS Installer, IMDS Subsystem & New storagectl: https://www.phoronix.com/news/systemd-261-rc1 > There is also now systemd-sysinstall that provides a simple, modern textual installer for an OS. This wraps around systemd's partitioning capabilities, credential management, and other system management functionality while copying the OS from a temporary boot medium like a USB drive. > systemd-sysinstall > systemd-sysinstall > systemd-sysinstall Replacing all parts of linux system is only a matter of time :marseytabletired2:
@silverpill@yggverse Yeah, I could guess that it's just funding and promotion, still interesting…
Fediverse being the most independent network, @p 's points about some organisations being interested in taking it over look even less like conspiracy theories, despite having only indirect proof :marseytinfoil2:
@volpeon@kaia True 5-dimensional chess is that Pooteen has run Russia into the ground further than any European government ever could and Germany still seems attractive in comparison, I know many people, my good friends included, who have moved to Berlin (!) from Moscow and like it. So no, Merz can't compete!
Sorry, I can't say that in German. I mean I can try, but I know you both speak English, so why bother 🤪
@p@rain I believe they've switched away from precompiled levels to lua-based generation that gets executed by the game itself, so some bugs in "scripted" levels are to be expected 🤔
@silverpill We can have AP over Sneakernet now! At last!
Time to proceed to the next stage: fax-based frontend — you call the frontend number, tone-dial the thread ID you wish to read, it calls you back and faxes the contents of that thread :marseyhypno:
