And then China popping their head out claiming Taiwan is part of China because they want to seize TSMC

Those things aren’t mutually exclusive. Yes, they are dumping massive resources into SMIC. Yes, they also want to maintain imperialism over Taiwan, and TSMC is a part of that. Some of it is fear-mongering sure, but China is consistently confrontational in the South China Sea and beyond. There’s a reason they enforce an abrasive naval presence there and continue to press against the Philippines.

Like Vegas? Sure. Open source stuff like kdenlive and shotcut exists. Davinci resolve is available for Linux for more professional stuff. Specifically Vegas? Probably only under a VM, and you’d likely get awful performance, so not worth it. If you’re a professional, Linux isn’t always an option, especially if you are in a software ecosystem that doesn’t work there

Yeah I mean blame the MPEG group for that. There’s a reason all the tech companies tired of their licensing fees built avc1

Probably that your display maxes out at 60hz but the graphics driver is rendering extra frames for increased fidelity

At first I thought this was cursed

No! PonyOS uses its own kernel, built from scratch

Now I think it’s very cursed

EDIT:

Ok after investigating the kernel is forked from https://github.com/klange/toaruos so it’s slightly less cursed

That reminds me of the oldschool Realtek WiFi cards which required you to run drivers through WINE just to have WiFi on Linux. It really is excellent to see how far it’s come. I have a cheap Chinese laptop with a celeron chip (jasper lake) that I use as essentially a thin client. Installing windows fresh: trackpad doesn’t work, audio doesn’t work, WiFi 6 card driver is a generic MS one that caps at 5mb a sec until I install the right Realtek drivers, graphics aren’t accelerated until I install intel’s drivers. Installing Linux: everything works out of the box, just need to install the right graphics drivers for accelerated graphics to work. Only sad spot is the fingerprint reader is just flat out not supported in Linux. Lol if I tried hard I guess I could hook up WINE to run it like the old days

Yeah it’s called open core and it’s basically every open source SaaS product where you can either:

1. self host the open source product
2. pay for their (usually better) cloud product which has features the open source product doesnt
3. self host the cloud product (usually labelled as “enterprise” and “contact sales”)

And subscriptions. Once hyper capitalism got its whiff of subscriptions there was no turning back.

Apple is really the only company that did serious research on building their initial UIs with their human interface guidelines. It’s clear they don’t anymore, and everything is about driving engagement or whatever, but like during the golden era of OS X, Tiger, their UI was far superior, and most desktop environments borrow much of that stuff to this day. I now want a hat that says “Make macOS Tiger again”

And you’ll finally get your sound working on your new laptop after weeks of messing with pulse audio and realizing you just needed to install sof-firmware but didn’t scroll far enough in the wiki to see that, but now your pulse audio config is so messed up it’s just easier to reinstall Arch again
