They’ve been shitty for decades tbh

If anyone dies, its because those with resources are not cooperating and not helping make sure we can feed and house everyone. We can do this without anyone dying, as long as we all work together.

Honestly, I couldn’t have put it into better words than that. That perfectly defined that transition that we need to head into. We have to start now We need to work together to make this happen. We need to see this capitalist society go away and we need to move into something more sustainable. If we are going to go into a massive economic disruption, then we need to make it worthwhile. We need to build within the shellof the old with what we already have. All of that sounds painful, but if we want to move into a world where we won’t kill the planet, we must do it. The sooner the better.

Its not rolling back the clock imo. We have already pulled out those resources. They are in our possession. We don’t need to mine fresh rare earth metals.

Thats the thing. Compute ENABLES all of that industry. Compute ENABLES all that residential energy usage. Compute ENABLES commercial businesses to operate.

Those sources are referring to direct energy usage, but isn’t accounting for indirect production enabled by that technology.

Im not saying there aren’t other fights to battle. All im saying is halt this nonsense until we can figure out how to clean planet Earth of all the crap we have already produced. Piling on isn’t helping at all. Leave those rare earth metals in the ground and figure out how to recycle them ones we have already mined. Figure out how to pull from landfills all that forgotten ewaste.

Its going to take time and effort. Its not going to be profitable. Its not going to fast.

Personally, I believe every company who produces a product must also provide a way to reuse, recycle, or return each and every product they sell. Phone manufacturers, solar panel fabricators, and wind turbine manufacturers should be the ones leading the charge on this. It shouldn’t be up to any third party service, government, or country to have that burden.

I am not going to lie, i just don’t have the energy to put together all the research that has been done on the energy consumption of AI neural networks for you. They are consuming more energy than entire States in the USA use. Then theres cryptocurrency. Then there is the fact that we have global storefronts, distributers, resellers, supermarkets, and food production that is designed around creating hyper capitalist worlds of consumerism that only exists because it is so god damn easy to add to cart and have one of everything.

You will never need one of everything. We don’t need to produce just to produce. We aren’t sharing. We are hoarding. We are stashing. Products are assembled and put on store shelves at such an unsustainable rate that there isn’t enough time or energy to figure out how to properly reuse or recycle them or their byproducts. The lowest quality, most pollutive products pile up. They pile up in landfills, along roads, and in oceans. Hell, there are microplastics in the most remote regions planet earth. Its filthy and disgusting. You cant even find clean water in the wild anymore.

All because we have a way to tap 3 buttons and get delivered something new to consume.

Hyper fucking capitalism only becomes more hyper thanks to rare earth metals (which also are just tossed in the trash once their use is up).

The changelog for 2.31 is here:

https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/libc-announce/2020/msg00001.html

Latest version of glibc is 2.41, released 2025-01-30. That puts 2.31 at least 10 releases behind. That version is quite outdated. There are numerous security and bug fixes in 2.31 alone, with each newer release also fixing some as well.

2.31 was released on 2020-02-01.

Yes. We obviously aren’t responsible enough to handle these devices as it is now. We are eroding our planet of its life by causing drastic changes to our climate, caused by burning up massive amounts of fossil fuels to power our “AI”. This is gross and detestable, and we should reverse course immediately until we can find better alternatives to handle semiconductor manufacturing processes, and find better ways to power these devices. Not stopping now will only add more Co2 emissions to our planet’s atmosphere, which will increase global temperatures.

Good. Stop mining this and leave it alone.

The EU standards are not set yet. They are open to change. If you feel they need to change, chime in to them.

They are just selecting what they think is best

Are they EU focused?

Just in case nobody reads the article:

EU OS is not an entirely new operating system and uses a Linux foundation based on Fedora and KDE Plasma as the desktop environment.

The main advantage of EU OS lies in its focus on standardization rather than creating something entirely new. It offers a shared Linux foundation that can be fine-tuned with additional bits, regardless of whether it be for national, regional, sector-specific, or organizational use.

EU OS = KDE Fedora

So if you install KDE Fedora, then you have EU OS so far until there are more standards in place.

Do it., but also ensure that all work enters the public domain and is free for anyone to use, modify, commercialize, or basically whatever the GPL says.

Im barely on 2K!

Is it on the Arch User Repository?

The next mission is simple. You are to spread democracy to every corner of the galaxy. You have your orders.

GrapheneOS is how Android should be, but its a solitary experience versus iOS, which harnesses the interplay with other apple devices.

Honestly, fuck security. I want every app on my phone to phone home to other malicious app stores with all my personal data. I want them to install backdoor VPNs that tunnel all my data to a man in the middle. I want them to allow me to jailbreak my phone so I can install permanent rootkits, that way adversaries can reload their botnets even after I factory reset my phone.

On the real, i appreciate Apple for what they’ve done so far. If this happens, ill have to move back to GrapheneOS. Which is fine, but its just so much more time that I have to spend on making the phone work versus working on the phone.

We should force the entire EU to mandate GrapheneOS on all phones. Well see how much they enjoy the experience.

The price is $1500 USD for anyone who is curious
