  • You probably won’t be able to run an LTS kernel on a brand new PC that just hit the market. But using the most recent kernel for arch or a derivative like endevorOS should work after like a week maximum.

    I did have an issue like this on Ubuntu and its what made me actually start distro hopping since it worked fine on fedora and Arch using the latest kernels.


  • I don’t understand why there is a bull market.

    Wouldn’t the latest CPI report mean that the FED is less likely to lower interest rates which in turn would mean the high APY cash accounts are going to stay in effect for longer? Meaning a 5% APY on liquid cash without risk.

    The only reason I can think of is that Boomers are trying to maximize their retirement funds and not reading anything, not even headlines.

    But this wouldn’t take into account the large banks and firms that are really leading the bull run.

    Is this really just because of the idea that there is a potential for “AI” to increase productivity?

    None of it makes sense to me, but I’m not an economist.



  • In today’s market, the perception or even the profitability of a product means nothing. All that actually matters is growth.

    For a publicly traded company, or even one that just uses venture capital to start up; the product isn’t the thing that they might sell to consumers, it’s their brand. This is what gives them more capital to continue running the company and ultimately to profit.

    This means that a company no longer needs to make good products, they don’t need to keep customers happy, they don’t even need to be profitable. All they need is to show growth opportunities to potential investors.

    True, but some are more so than others. Like in spirited away. It’s kinda more just hinted at and it’s not central to the plot of the film. Which is why I think it’s more popular of a film in countries that rely on war and exploitation.

    You should try a few more.

    • Castle in the sky
    • Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
    • Grave of the fireflies (followed by My Neighbor Totoro as it was originally released as a double feature)

    I’m not sure why Spirited away seems to be the go to Ghibli film (maybe it is less offensive) but it’s probably one of my least favorites from the studio.
