How many billions (in today’s money) were spent on going to the moon? What about the billions poured into refining the internal combustion engine? The billions that have gone into making and running massive particle accelerators?

Technology is constantly advancing and we often don’t know where it’ll take us until we get there.

Don’t forget to tip the used engine oil into a shallow hole in the ground when you’re done dumping the battery!

I think they mean that ARM became dominant by widely licencing its RISC architecture to pretty much anyone. This startup wants to make RISC V designs and licence them to various chip manufacturers - so they won’t be in the business of making chips themselves, just the design.

But as long as they are RISC V chips, then they would run the same software as any other RISC V chips.

Hey! You down there! Can you hear us? We’re over here, up in the 21st Century! Come join us!

Stereotyping people’s interests by their gender stopped being funny in the 50s.

fraid I generated a tl;dr for this rather verbose article:

“Home directories are a mess because too many apps ignore XDG spec and dump dotfiles everywhere. The problem isn’t just legacy software—new apps do it too, often out of ignorance or laziness. Windows has similar issues with profile folders. Fixing it requires devs to actually follow standards, but many resist due to inertia or ‘my way is better’ thinking. Users should push back and demand proper XDG compliance to keep $HOME clean.”

If you’d have left it @caboose2006@lemm.ee, it would’ve become a mighty oak. You Westerners are weak. Who wouldn’t want a mighty oak growing out their dick?
