hyperthreading is like so

its like theres two wolves inside your processor but its actually just one wolf with two heads but normally you use you processor for eating and barking so it behaves like two wolves but if you want it to do a booping then its still just got the four paws of one wolf

Now, spammers are trying to sell kilts on SDF.

This world cannot be serious.

i've said it before and i'll say it again: i have a mighty need for country music about having to pirate your tractor's software

In science it often happens that scientists say, "You know that's a really
good argument; my position is mistaken," and then they actually change
their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really
do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are
human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot
recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.

It even includes a "graphical" (read, curses-like) installer now! (The oldschool DIY route is still available if you like that though!) Lots of other stuff too!

Congrats Guix team!

I'm not too worried about Librem One in the software forks... I don't suspect it will impact the fediverse or original projects too much, whether or not some decisions end up being misguided. The original branches will survive; it's free software.

But I do think @purism has a good and really critical mission with making libre hardware. There aren't many options that are modern and fairly easily available. It seems like the org is biting off a lot; I hope the hardware work continues.
