  • That's exactly what I was referencing haha, tried to make the analogy work. Might need to smooth out the edges in a few places

  • Me with a 30 second commute from my desk to my bed:

    :( -> :)

  • This sounds like the GDP meme:

    Two programmers are coding in a terminal when they come across a board of scrum tasks.

    The first programmer says to the other "I'll pay you $100 to vibe code that task." The second programmer takes the $100 and vibe codes the scrum task using their favorite AI.

    They continue coding until they come across a code review from the senior dev, rejecting the pull request. The second programmer turns to the first and says "I'll pay you $100 to clean up that vibe code". The first programmer takes the $100 and cleans up the vibe code, using actual skill and no AI.

    Coding a little more, the first programmer looks at the second and says, "You know, I gave you $100 to vibe code, then you gave me back the same $100 to clean it up. I can't help but feel like we both just used AI for nothing."

    "That's not true", responded the second programmer. "We fed the AI our code so it would be even smarter next time!"

    Narrator: it never did and will never get smarter.

  • At the very least they need to hire these doctors and scientists that RFK Jr. fired so their wisdom and knowledge don't go to waste!

  • Quick update about the PineCube. Pine64 has stopped making it due to low demand. This is confirmed via their Global Store and their Discord.

    CinePi / v2 appear to now be the only devices on the market that support the idea of OSH. Pine64's alternatives to the Raspberry Pi might be able to substitute the CinePi, but it seems that no one has tried this as of August 2025.

  • I know right. And we all know who the corporate culprits are -_-

  • I've seen Pine64 mentioned online with reference to their Pinephone and Pinephone Pro. Thought I saw somewhere that they're planning on discontinuing the Pro for one reason or another. Wonder what that means for their business.

    The PineCube you mentioned has been tested as a webcam. It looks like the max resolution the cam supports is 1080p, but the frame rate is horrendous at 3-5 fps.

    Luckily, Pine64 seem to be developing a successor to the PineCube, the PineCam, as of November of last year. Their documentation of the device seems lacking compared to the PineCube. Not sure if the device is still in development or what. I'll have to check their socials to see what's up.

    If they roll out that PineCam though, that looks sick! Thanks for the tip!

  • and don’t want the democracy

    and don’t feel that their government is democratic

    I read the Harvard source too, and nowhere were populations asked about democracy in their country. The researchers wanted to look at general satisfaction, and broke that down into surveys about the economy, government corruption, and environment.

    Based on the Harvard study alone, neither you nor the Original Commenter (OC) can make claims about perceptions and desires about democracy in China.

    However, OC did share the Democracy Perception Index. Looking at the 2024 report alone, Chinese people scored China at >75% democratic, and responded that democracy is >85% important to them. >50% of people believed that China had the right amount of democracy. Based on the data alone, we would believe that the majority of Chinese people 1) want democracy, 2) think China is democratic, and 3) don't think the amount of democracy needs to change.

    We can debate over whether this data is trustworthy. DPI researchers asked surveyees over the internet, which automatically rules out more rural and poorer groups in each society. But this was done for each country, so you might be able to say that the entire survey is moot. Internet surveys are much more susceptible to censorship too, which is why the Harvard study that involved face-to-face interviews is better imo.

    Nonetheless, these are the sources that OC presented to support their claim. The majority of Chinese people want democracy, think they live in a democracy, and are satisfied with whatever government they live under, democracy or not.

    The original point that OC responded to was whether Chinese people feel coerced by their government. I think the corruption part in the Harvard study and the government accountability part in the DPI reports clearly imply that this is not the case.

    What evidence do you have to make the opposite case?

  • Just picked up my first Framework 13. Moves like this are why I'm increasingly trusting of their mission and vision.

    Hopefully they stay private, or better yet, change their corporate charter into a cooperative. Never go public.

  • Didn't Ghislane just say there aren't any files in her deposition?!

    You can't make this shit up man 😂

  • 2 comments in and we're already blocking.

    Soy Right and snowflakes up and down, lmfao

  • Your wife would have probably been better off camgirl-ing at that point.

    Disclaimer: no twelve year old or any underage minor, under any circumstances, should be considering any of this as a viable alternative to traditional white or blue collar labor.

  • This is the first Windows update that has significantly altered how my daily driver laptop works (read: for the worse).

    It's too inconvenient to use a Windows computer anymore. I'm switching to Linux

  • That update made me buy my first Framework laptop! Fuck Microsoft!!

  • About time

  • This is my approach with veganism in an individual interpersonal context.

    Doesn't mean we still can't advocate for our positions though in general contexts.
