I remember the time when Linux was stuck at 2.6.x.x, then came Linux for Workgroups 3.11.

Isn’t WERO built aroung SEPA Instant Credit Transfer?

Because for a while not every country voted for a dictator.

While looking for a screwdriver in the garage you notice that the light is not working.

No, no, you can’t do something like this. This is a normal game for normal people, you can’t hide an ADHD simulator in there.

Anyway, here’s that one clip from Malcolm in the Middle of Hal fixing a lightbulb

Swap it with shit tier.

It’s not necessarily about transistors/mm^2, there is also power consumption and clock frequency. Back in the mid-2000’s clock frequencies stopped just under 4GHz and then went down for a few years before going back up to way past 4GHz in the last ten years or so.

GlobalFoundries is still in Dresden, but the smallest process they have there is 12nm. They’re just not at the forefront anymore and focus on other market segments.

TSMC is building in Europe too, specifically in Dresden, Germany, but it’s afaik a 20nm fab mostly for automotive chips.

If I’m not entirely mistaken there is still some basis to the nanometre number, it just doesn’t refer to the actual smallest feature size or gate pitch anymore. Basically in the mid-2000 Dennard scaling stopped working and ever since the nanometre numbers are “made up”. Dennard scaling was how most progress was made by just shrinking transistors. But that doesn’t mean just because Dennard scaling doesn’t work anymore there is no progress, it’s just harder to achieve. So the semiconductor manufacturers just continued naming their fabrication methods as if Dennard scaling still worked. So basically a modern “3nm” process is equivalent in some way to what would theoretically be possible if you had an actual 3nm process.

For social media an important point is inertia/network effects combined with marketing. And I think a lot of open source/decentralised advocates are not good at marketing, while at the same time network effects can’t kick in due to lack of content. Because ultimately most people don’t care about it being open source or decentralised, most people care about content. If your favourite youtuber is not on peertube, then why use peertube. If your favourite celebrity is not on mastodon/pixelfed/loops then why use those. If there is no community for your favourite sportsball team on lemmy/piefed why join those platforms?

Second saturday would be better. Sundays are the worst.

For now it seems to be mostly very “fediverse”.

The plane one is a bit tougher.

Gliders/sailplanes should be reasonably accessible.

I remember that a lot of supermarkets did that during the pandemic.

Maybe someone like should check if this is true. Anatoli Bugorski I am looking at you.

Every once in a while he blackmails the Tesla board into giving him a shit ton of money. Besides that he doesn’t have much, his wealth is in stocks, mostly Tesla, because his other companies aren’t publicly traded. What rich people do to actually get money is they get a loan backed by their stocks, and then never really paying it back. Tesla is extremely overvalued, but because of that he can just borrow as much money as he wants.

Obviously a mad scientist, so both qualified and not qualified at the same time.

Imagine being into feminine stuff, how unmanly.

I suppose they’re afraid their athletes might run away, something North Korea is usually accused of.

Specifically he was on their board and afaik only for his contacts to other politicians and public officials.
