Linux 7.2 has landed, dragging x86 timing clean out of the nineties by making the Time Stamp Counter mandatory.

I wrote up a quick article on why ditching those ancient legacy fallbacks is good housekeeping, plus a few other bits like cache-aware scheduling and memory tweaks worth noting.

Is anyone still using legacy hardware? If so, what do you use it for?

Earth Kings, Queens, tons of Earth Kingdom names and places (like the Forbidden Palace) are clear references to ancient Chinese history

You're going for the shallow likeness, I'm going for the essence. AND the creators are in a liberal environment with all of its prejudices and propaganda.

the whole theme of the franchise is that no one nation, no individual, no political system or movement, is really a pure good or bad

I'm not even saying the show runners are right in what they are trying to say, not that they even convey with competency what they were trying to - this right here is trashy post modernism ("people have their own truths" Yeah, like Nazis and Zionists)

What this makes clear is that you're a liberal and I'm not. And nothing more.

Call me whatever you wish. It’s fine.

This about sums up my experience with Lemmy.ml though. Even seemingly tangential threads, like, say…. checks thread title a Linux kernel article inevitably trigger Godwin’s law:

And then some kind of black-and-white political litmus test.

Don't let this nut sully your views on actual leftists, most of us are pretty sensible. ❤️

They are very likely a bot anyways lol

I know what you mean. I like lemmy.ml, mostly. I’m kinda a nut/weirdo too.

I like my internet full of weirdos, like a zoo. It makes it feel like the old internet, and honestly I think it’s good for the soul. Like, imagine if everyone got that kind of exposure instead of the bubbles they live in now.

What isn't black and white, except neoliberal conformity? Surviving a war against the Evil Empire? B&W. Fighting against the lap dogs of the Evil Empire? B&W. Genocide enforcers and enablers are bad people? B&W. Starving a population that won't give their land to resorts for the filthy rich? B&W.

I’m confused. Are we still talking about Avatar?

Well… just as one examples in the original series, Iroh was one of the worst war criminals the world had ever seen. It’s hard to argue he isn’t gray. If he had been seen as B&W, things would have not recovered.

We never talked about Avatar. War criminals only deserve one sentence.

But I guess the show was successful in relativizing war crimes to children and nurturing good citizens for the Empire.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
