I don’t disagree that there is a ton of development from volunteers and non profit (ngos, Universitys and governments) but the majority seems to be from big tech at the moment.

Just saying they are contributing a lot and in those ways the Internet is better for it.

Do you use any Firefox or chromium web browser, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS, or WASM because I’m 90% most of the development for all of that comes from Ad companies or companies funded by ads.

Listen I don’t wanna just rag on you, because you came at me with bait and what feels like an a condescending attempt to sound smart.

Do you mind just explaining what you are thinking and we could just talk about it? Transformers are fucking awesome, fucking magmatsm and shit, tons of uses. I think there is some interesting discussion here if you actually want to have it.

Oh man no doubt, EVs, campers, boats, and some super scaler’s get interesting with midscale DC, but trying to find codes of electricians that know about or the safety code for it is a challenge.

The calculator I used says for 48v with an acceptable drop of 3v at 50 amp (2400-2250 watts) would be a 0 (1/0) AWG or .82515cm diameter diameter wire to handle the current (oversized really but it’s napkin math lol) for 30m.

I’m a PD evangelist. Imagine a safer power delivery system that can go directly to the device you want powered. Scale that with fact most of the world could be and should be DC with AC being good just for niche applications like microwaves and mid range transmissions.

Right it begs the question.

Is me not receiving care or having access to care REALLY better for me?

If the answer can’t clearly be yes, then they are just choosing to make me ill or kill me for their perceived interests.

Yes. Honestly just bought a chip so I can mess around with librebooting my laptop.

Its about harm reduction my man. Meth is bad on the heart but so is excessive grease. I’m going to just never use meth and cut down my excessive fat consumption where I can.

One reason I mentioned the steam decks FSR feature. Which is a really cool example of this to me. Of wise spread automatic modding making every game that can run on the system potentially better with no additional effort from the dev.

You also have less ability to mod the games so you lose out on some of those features. For example doing is level FSR like the steam deck.

They snap store is proprietary

The Dick Van Dike show is a great one.

The Marvelous Misses Maisel

The game from the startreck like episode on BlackMirror and Sword Art Online! Both are arguably great.

The twilight zone episode about the podcast and the airplane is amazing too.

Three dog is a treasure

Why do they need to disrespect their users rights to that though?

I guess to me be able to serve the 408b model even though I’m on a laptop is just awesome to me.

Also I saw Lora was an option for Petals but I haven’t messed with it at all.

The splitting is 80% of the cool factor for me. Rather than bog down the one node that can handle those cooler models, and have more contribution opportunities.

I wonder honestly if a petals network could be a target host on horde lol

ZeroTier looks super cool!

Maybe optional opt out? Like to say you are usb-4 you have to have this format and support all of these features. Other you are USB 4 W/O x,y,z,PD,Video,etc. I also think PD levels should be labeled on power sources and sinks.

“Power-only” meaning no data BEYOND the PD devices themselves because its actually a data protocol to negotiate the power output to the device.

I think you maybe misunderstanding. I mean sure those are things libertarians who are also 2a supporters rail against and fight for those things, but yeah the people who are being targeted the most are the people need to exercise their 2a the most. If the only people armed are faciest or adjacent then only their rights and interests are protected by it. Without the 2a only the states rights and interests (police, DeSantis, etc) are protected with guns.
