They're just using company email addresses to determine what tech stack they use. This is like saying "wow a lot of companies use gmail or outlook." In other words, the sky is blue. This is ignoring that a large number of companies use multiple different tech stacks depending on the internal organization/subsidiary. Meanwhile, proton's products are basically all half-baked and basically don't match the equivalent Google/Microsoft suites at all.

Lol they want $400 billion in investment in the US too. However, aside from that, I sort of wonder how buying Intel would work out for TSMC. They'd basically be buying a research wing + existing US foundries. The most important thing for them would probably be ensuring that the foundries and so on in Taiwan are the most advanced to avoid the US ditching them if the PRC decides to invade.

I've never used them, but if you want streaming, you can use Moonlight/Sunshine. It'd be very cool if a project integrated everything together, so you could choose whether to download the games or stream them from the server.

I'm planning to, I'm waiting for the kernel to finish building rn lol

EDIT: PR got merged BTW (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/431115).

There are select places where it's usable, but generally speaking most merchants don't accept it. You can sometimes buy giftcards or something like that with crypto and just use the giftcard to pay, but honestly that's kind of a pain. Also I'm only talking about Bitcoin and Monero. Most of the other currencies I probably wouldn't bother using.

You're supposed to be able to use lib.kernel.unset to unset them. In any case, that's just one problem. The main issue is the entire option is ignored because of a typo in nixpkgs.

I'm gonna be honest, I use NixOS, but the docs fucking suck, and a number of things are just broken in nixpkgs. For instance, I recently discovered the structuredExtraConfig option for patching the kernel straight up does not work. This means you cannot unset any kernel options, which means some kernel patches won't work unless you manually supply the entire kernel config.

EDIT: what's even more annoying about it not working is that it fails to apply silently. In other words, your kernel tries to compile and then an hour later it fails because your config changes weren't applied.

I have pretty much zero sympathy for people like this. Karmic retribution if he actually gets deported.

Yeah, I could have picked three random ads with white people a couple years ago too.... It'd be different if they had, like, numbers showing more ads were using just white people or something than before.

EDIT: This applies to both comments BTW
