Same faggot earlier claimed his clique "worked hard on killing x11".

Now why would it need to be killed if it has a bunch of tech debt and thus could die on its own?
The conspiracy theory: redhat and freedesktop want to kill X11
The guy calling it a conspiracy theory: Xorg is dead and we killed it. And nobody regrets it.
Good thing all those people complaining about accessibility were "concerned (sic) trolling", because now we don't have to accommodate blind people.

Seeing programmers react like this to relatively minor maintainer disagreements really makes me believe in "low emotional intelligence", it's true it's all true.
That "Xorg is dead and we killed it. And nobody regrets it." sentence reminds me of journalists dropping "... And that's a good thing".
Which is always a sentence they just write to themselves, because they are pissed they can't control "the community", they are basically stimming when they start poasting like that.
 
Can anyone give a quick explaination why a lot of the "new" cryptography stuff is written in fucking go?

Because Go is a practical memory-safe language. It has reasonable, readable C-like syntax. It has a pointer-safe memory mechanism and good threading support.

Unlike Erlang (and Rust), it has readable syntax. Unlike Rust, it doesn't have a tranny infestation. In cryptography, mutable buffers are kinda of important for performance, which Go has and many suggested competitors do not.

Anyone have any experience with XY Tech / 51nb boards? Having an X200 with modern specs seems too good to be true (+ they come with a disabled IME through some hardware modding to pull it into "manufacturing mode"). The old page seems defunct as of 2022, though it looks like they've moved shop to a forum of the same name. Any of you lads happen to speak Mandarin?
I have one of their laptops, something about video output on Linux is a bit fussy but it still works. I got great customer service at the time, but the guy took my money (and many others') and ran when I tried to order another one. He's been gone for years.
XYTech and 51nb aren't the same outfit though, 51nb just make the motherboards and then various other people (such as the XYTech guy) package them up into full builds and sell them.

I'm double-chucking with these guys now: https://www.tpart.net
Supposedly they're shipping soonish, we'll see what happens.
 
He's from China judging at the email domain @163.com.
Yeah, all these guys are pretty much just hopping the fence after dark at the motherboard factory in China and running off their own designs.
I'm going in knowing this is the usual roll-of-the-dice proposition you get with China, though this particular seller has been around for some time and seems to have had satisfied customers.
 
KDE are starting to do the same by having DrKonqi have a dependancy on SystemD

Can't wait for Plasma 7 to be fully dependant on SystemD


For now though, the only solution is to nuke it from your system

Well, I will have to say goodbye to KDE Plasma and probably switch to XFCE with Chicago95 or some quirky old DE like Common DE\Trinity. Unless someone forks Plasma which is a hard thing to do and maintain.

I will miss Qt since it was nicer than using gtk. KDE has better support for GTK programs than GTK DEs have for QT applications.

They're part of the techie enthusiast community. It's probably just a serrial/IMPI flash of the MB's ME controller since versions newer than Nethalem (1st gen Core so like 2008) you can't remove the ME permanently, the CPU will not boot otherwise. You can only remove the wifi blobs and hope the CIA didn't build backdoors in the boot code.
AFAIK the 51NB X210 has been successfully Corebooted but I don't see any commentary on whether it is me_cleaned. The i7-8550U the guy who ported it to coreboot should be me_cleanable if they ship with no boot guard, and even if they do, the libreboot deguard script should cover that as well. Someone with one of these boards just has to put in the work to port it to Libreboot at that point, but I somehow doubt the dev team is going to go out of their way to target niche homespun enthusiast boards.

Absolutely nutty specs on the X210AI, and he sells all the other ones, too! Please let me know how it goes if you do end up buying from him. I'm very interested in getting one of these myself, especially in light of possible coreboot/me_cleaning options.
