holy shit apparently someone i know knows someone giving away DDR5 ram they have leftover from a server lol, i might get a free upgrade (32GB -> 64GB).......................

maybe i should finally get away from firefox, what's the least sucky browser right now? (boosts appreciated)

overall i think brazil is above average, but something about it i utterly despise is how aggressive everyone seems to be online lol

like, yknow how you expect channers to act? not really the bigotry part, but the part where they're oddly rude unprompted every few sentences? that's basically how most of the brazilian internet is as far as i can tell lol

lmao

if a person wants to work, they should be allowed to work

no one should have to work, but everyone, without exception, should be allowed to do it if they want to

prohibiting anyone from working does not accomplish anything positive, workers rights regulations do (and should exist regardless of age)

reminder that the right to work is a right like any other, "people under X shouldn't work" is not the progressive take some people think it is

free palestine, bomb Knesset, etc, but also guillotine nazis

people like that trying to co-opt free palestine is such a dumb concept it's funny lol

reminder that "adult content" is an inherently ageist term

@SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo @twinspin6@outerheaven.club i mean, that's like complaining that a pharmaceutical researcher doesn't know how to run a drug manufacturing plant lol, they're just different jobs

Research vs engineering roles being separate is ubiquitous across industries

@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com then you can't say the ability to swap components is what makes something not a single program

@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com
UEFI/BIOS is an interesting point, you are right that firmware is a fairly meaningless term then

also, you can write your own monero implementation and p2pool will still work (same with xmrig), contradicting what you said about them all being a single program

@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com then you have an extremely unusual definition of what makes something one program, which means you can't expect anyone else to use it (that's not how language works)

@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com amdgpu does indeed require a proprietary program to work, that was never contested, the point is that a program depending on another program to function is how nearly all software works, including things no one would call a single program

to say amdgpu and amd's blobs are a single program, you would have to special case them instead of having a universal definition of what a single program is

@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com
essentially anything uses IPC, if that's your definition of "the same program" monerod, p2pool and xmrig are all a single program

if that isn't your definition, i advise explicitly defining it, because it's clear that it isn't the descriptivist definition (which is fine, but you can't pretend it is)

@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com and to be clear, i'm not saying the blobs being proprietary is fine, i'm just saying they're separate programs from amdgpu

@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com firmware is obviously a kind of software, that's not the point, the point is that it's a distinct program from amdgpu, amdgpu is just what launches it

would you say bwrap is "part of Firefox", just because firefox launches bwrap to manage namespaces?

@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com kitty and amdgpu are both free, are you talking about amd firmware or something else? obviously i despise their firmware lol, beyond being proprietary it's also infamously bad at handling resets

uh oh apparently resizing kitty (the terminal) crashed my gpu somehow lol, though i'm really surprised at how well the amdgpu driver managed to recover it (after freezing for a few seconds it seems to be completely normal again lol)

@lxo@snac.lx.oliva.nom.br i wish flights weren't so expensive lol, i'm in RS so it's not really viable for me to go
