No lawyers who value their lives and don’t want to end up on a MAGA hit list will touch that one with a ten-foot pole.

Okay. Not doxxed perhaps. But put on a list that’s implicitely a hit list.

It’s not great.

For those who have the money to hire an attorney, yes.

Don’t people know they shouldn’t divulge their identifies on the internet? Or is it a rule only those of us of older generations who still have a concept of privacy and self-preservation apply?

There ya go:

Oh sorry, my bad: you said AI…

I don’t think the folks who got doxxed by those maniacs are laughing…

There never was an American dream. There is - or rather, was - an American fantasy entertained by immigrants, that turns into a rather bland, if not unpleasant reality check when they arrive in the US and don’t strike it rich, which is the overwhelming majority of them.

Even the Pilgrims sailed to the New World with that fantasy in their minds, and then were confronted with the pretty awful realities of their miserable voyage and even more miserable life in the Plymouth colony. This is nothing new.

What an abhorrent country…

There’s a difference: Rome took a thousand years to fall. America has gone back from going to the moon to medicine by leeches in half a century.

You’re not wrong. But I have another argument: the Trump regime is not yet fully entrenched, and now is the time to vote with your wallet and boycott the collaborators that bankroll the regime in an effort to smother it before it’s too late. There’s still a tiny chance and every little bit helps.

China on the other hand… It’s been around for so damn long, no matter how much you try to boycott China-made product - if that’s even possible - it not going to make a dent in the regime’s grip.

One does what one can where one can.

Well, there’s another reason why I run this ARM laptop: it’s fully open-source. Well, mostly: there’s one binary blob left. But that’s as close to open-source as I was able to find.

Like I said, there’s no good option if you need a computer - or indeed any product - that wasn’t made by some company in some country that runs against the values you believe in. Only the least bad option. This laptop is the one that ticked the most boxes for me.

I use an ARM laptop as my daily driver (RK3588 CPU).

Is ARM great? No. It’s slower than similarly-priced AMD64 machine, and for some reason, whatever power-saving algorithm my particular compute module is running makes everything CPU-intensive that interacts with the users choppy and annoying.

But it’s more than usable, and I have no doubt it’ll get better over time.

Here’s the most important thing about ARM for me though:

• It’s not Intel: I refuse to fund the American fascist regime through its stake in Intel.
• It’s not American: I refuse to fund the American fascist regime through sales taxes.
• It’s not Russian: even if Elbrus processors were obtainable, I refuse to fund the Russian fascist regime through sales taxes.

The ARM stuff I currently rock is made in China. Not great, but if you need a computer, it’s sadly the least terrible option at the moment.

Yeess… I’m sure Kash Patel will blend right in with all the other nordic warriors.

The United States.

“American comeback” indeed…

I never though I’d say I wish COVID did a better job…

Well, I don’t wish ill on anybody. But when it does happen to some people, schadenfreude can be enjoyable.

Rest in piss Charlie.

You need to ask yourself two questions:

• Who’s pushing AI - be it in healthcare or any other sector?
• For what purpose?

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out it’s not about smarter care, and it’s not in your best interest either.
