Excited for the official KDE Distro. I am a big fan of Fedora Kinoite but will probably give KDE a show once it is out of beta.

They’ve just rebranded La Suite Meet anyway,

I was basing it off the top comment here which said "They’ve just rebranded La Suite Meet" (which isn't E2E) but it looks like that person might have just been talking out their ass anyway.

This appears to be one guy's blog who writes about the royal family, with no connection to the family itself.

He also outputs a suspiciously large amount of articles/day. Probably using AI.

It seems to be implying that SoCs will soon become so fast and efficient that they will always outperform custom builds in every category including price.

There's an argument to be made there (not saying I agree).

Yep he's one of those culture warrior types. Honestly surprised he got Andy Weir on as I was under the impression he was relatively small potatoes in that space.

"Dragon's Egg" is a great little book written by a physicist/aerospace engineer and it shows.

The way I see it, we have enough going on elsewhere in this timeline where I'm willing to settle on this compromise 😅

EDIT: Did not realize WHAT podcast he was on...

Seems he was exaggerating for a joke and basically saying that he was too dumb to grasp the political metaphors in Trek.

Crisis averted!

 

It sounded like a stretch to me at first, but if you consider that the very concept of intelligence as something quantifiable and measurable (like IQ) implies a linear scale where some (guess which ones) people are simply better.

The funding behind AI comes out of a belief that it can be a tool to control and influence the population. It makes sense that it's origins would be in something similar.
