The dog outperformed the quantum computer despite not having any notion of what a number was, so I think any human could manage. Possibly including dead and/or unborn humans.

Since clamav itself shows no signs of vanishing, this frontend going away might add a bit to the friction some people experience in using it, but the software itself wasn't that noteworthy. The treatment of the developer, though, was just wrong.

The usual way: by being loudly obnoxious.

Whichever LLM whose owner hasn't offended Trump this month.

When you get right down to it, the lack of teleport booths is the problem. People see time spent in transit between A and B as time wasted, so the natural instict is to try to shorten it at any cost. As usual, this is modified by the tendency for humans to have really poor risk-assessment abilities.

Dispersing pieces of people doesn't count.

Approaching levels not seen since the War of 1812, even.

If the manufacturers had, y'know, provided the information needed for drivers without requiring ginormous amounts of money to be paid in, the support would be there by now. Without it, there's an inevitable reverse engineering catch-up period.

Plus, the article was evaluating Debian, which tends to be conservative when updating packages. I'd expect support to become available in other distros first. Hmmm . . . Here we go. Someone's got Gentoo running on one, with a note saying "sound, bluetooth and camera still need work (on 6.12.4 kernel)" (Gentoo ARM hardware list, under "Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 (Snapdragon)"). So the situation is not even nearly as bad as the Phoronix article suggests—it boots, but some drivers for the peripherals aren't quite there yet.

How is it propaganda when it is clearly foreign exploitation?

Propaganda doesn't have to be false, just slanted. Cherry-picking facts that support your chosen narrative can still be propaganda.

So when the package arrives, how many pieces of faulty software needing to point at it will it be encircled by?

Suggest firmly enforcing any noise ordinances, etc. that apply to the new site in Shubenacadie.

There are definite reasons why people who step up behind me and take a look at my computer screen either flinch or look at me funny (sometimes both), and I expect people here will have some . . . interesting takes on this as well 😅. The colour choices may make more sense if you know that I'm usually in a low-light environment, so even some "dark" themes seem fairly bright to me, and anything with a white background is like a slap in the face.

Trinity Desktop Environment 14.1.0 on Gentoo, homemade theme. For those not familiar with TDE, it is a fork of KDE 3, from the days before indexing daemons and other such CPU-eaters, so this looks old-fashioned because it is. The wallpaper is Digital Blasphemy's "Tropical Moon of Thetis", and yes, the font is the dreaded Times New Roman, presented here in all its jagged glory because I prefer to keep hinting and antialiasing switched off. The system monitor text on the left is from conky. On the right, TDE versions of konsole and konqueror (as file manager).

(And just to clear up one piece of misinformation about TDE that comes up regrettably often: the development team forked QT3 along with the desktop and is maintaining it. So: unsupported widgetset no, QT3 more-or-less yes, if you find a bug please file it, if you don't know of any bugs please don't spread FUD.)
