Linus rantingâŚ
This rant has some serious validity. I suspect that for example Nvidia GPUâs are so expensive and not affordable to the general public because the general public is not the intended market. These companies couldnât give a damn about any of us, they are in the hands of people like the WEF and intelligence agencies. They are designed to passify us so they can build automation systems around you to steal more from you. Its not enough for these people to take your money, they want your mind and soul to go with it.
Yuval Noah Harari, wants us all drugged up and playing video games to watch life pass us all by. These people are not kidding when they say âyou will own nothing and be happyâ. So on that note, what is the point of making a GPU cheaper for the public to buy? You will lease your VR head set, if it breaks you will have a drone fly over you to give you a new one, while you lay on a bed in a bedroom with only 30 cubic feed a space all around you. There is no incentive to get tech to cooperate with you other then to simply not buy it in the first place.
The solution is to get little mini PCâs and put Garuda on it, and call it a day. If these people donât want to play fair, then donât play the game at all. Get outside, grow a garden, use this opportunity to get in touch with your life skills because it looks like were all going to need them in the next few years (maybe even months).

I donât think much of Correctiv, but theyâre right here.
The quote:
âIn ten years you wonât own anything and youâll be happy about it.â
comes from the Danish politician Ida Auken.
Itâs about a vision of the future in which everyday goods and products no longer have to be bought because they are free or have become superfluous. In this fantasy, for example, no one owns a car anymore because you can order a self-driving taxi when you need it.
The author explicitly notes in a footnote added later that this is just a scenario intended to spark a debate about the advantages and disadvantages of current technological developments. Auken does not say that this scenario is realistic or a desirable future.
And yes, @Fenris, fully agrees!

I started over 30 years ago⌠to reduce my possessions.
Since I met people living in abject poverty but who were nevertheless quite happy, I thought to myself, why have two cars in the garage? A decent bicycle is perfectly sufficient!
But honestly, you have to be able to afford minimalism first.

They are selling it like that, but even so, with very contradicting messages.
But I suspect many know how it is going to be: hint, it is going to be "open"AI style⌠you will be happy, if you pay rentâs after subscriptions after debt interestsâŚ

Ya Iâm doing that as well, literally everything I have that was mine is gone (and destroyed) except for a truck, so now I can keep things small and simple.
Iâm telling you living minimal keeps you from going completely insane. Your life starts by growing a garden.
I always stayed off of social media, exceptions are Telegram, Signal, Element, IRC, and on occasion iMessenger contained inside a macOS Virtual machine. I will never attempt to go beyond these setups ever again considering this garbage got into trouble in the past.

Microsoft using AI for good by blocking scams? Does that include some of theirs? 
Hopefully they wonât over-reach with any of these AI tools to block sites they just donât like with some keywords. (Like competitors, etc)

Good, Plasma is reverting that silly change about bluetooth volume controls not triggering the Volume OSD. Not sure what was the reasoning for limiting the Volume OSD triggers⌠at least the revert was speedy.
