Why a picture of 'one banana and four apples' could be censored in China in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] procapra@lemm.ee -3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (14 children)

Anyone who has used rednote for over an hour knows Chinese people are:

  1. Aware of Tiananmen Square
  2. Able to acknowledge it as a tragedy
  3. Fully allowed to share that information

I uphold his theoretical contributions. My disagreements are everything after that.

Im a different flavor of communist than the folks you see on hexbear and grad. Not a stan of DPRK or China. Not fond of the later years of the USSR. I don't support modern day Russia in any conflicts it's involved in either.

At this rate, randos are gonna have to spend hours at a time analyzing if a single meme posted on the internet is AI, just to accomplish absolutely nothing.

Looks good OP.

Here in the US i've been told about people being forced to walk on hot coals and having lighters burn the palm of their hand as long as they can handle. Kids have literally killed themselves at these camps. Fuck the idea they should just be illegal, any parent that puts their kid through this should get 10-15 in prison.

Cheapest new device that can run linux? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

It was a hypothetical. Nobody is contributing to E-waste.

Linux kernel is leaving 486 CPUs behind, only 18 years after the last one made in c/linux@lemmy.ml

That's what I'm saying! It's kinda awesome how long things get supported in linux land!

I just meant after support is dropped. The CIP I think supports each of its kernels for 10 years? So whatever the last kernel is before they officially drop support will still be maintained by them for a long time. :)

If anyone is actually using a 486 still, you can try using the kernels that the CIP maintains https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cip/linux-cip.git They actually still support kernel 4.4

Cheapest new device that can run linux? (lemm.ee)
 

More of a thought exercise/game than anything else. I saw the news that 486 support was getting cut from linux, and I was curious just how cheaply someone could replace a desktop 486 system with something new (provided the device had all the connectivity they needed).

Rules:

  1. Device must be able to run linux.

  2. Device should be cheap as possible. A good starting point is probably sub 40usd.

  3. The device must in someway support a mouse, keyboard, display, and the internet. If adapters are necessary for this connectivity, that cost should be included.

  4. Power supply should be included in the cost of the device. (in the case of most SBCs this is just the cost of a USB cable and wall wart)

  5. The device must be new & still in production. I know used devices like laptops would probably have been king here, but I don't think that would be nearly as interesting.

I suspect that SBCs and other arm devices will be the most common suggestions.

I personally know about the Raspberry Pi Zero which can be had for ~$10, and with all the added accessories necessary to make it a full computer (usb splitters, usb power, usb to rj45, storage) it costs around ~$35. Not bad at all but I'm pretty sure we can do even better!
