Normal search results are already littered with useless ai generated seo optimized crap. It's got to the point where sometimes it's quicker to learn the knowledge you seek the old fashion way: by reading books.
Enshitification must lose.

It'll get commuted to $3.50 which he still won't bother to pay.
Fine, I'll put copper in my coffee since it's cheaper.
I couldn't figure out how to make the wifi on my Debian machine reliable so I replaced the default wifi manager front-end and backend with iwctl, the same thing Arch uses by default. It seems to be working but now I have an unholy abomination of Debian spliced with Arch DNA.
Same. Sometimes I wish I had instead spent all the money I saved and blew on college on anything else. I could have lost it all gambling. I could have spent it all on strippers. Or drugs. I could have bought a helicopter and thrown fistfulls of $100 bills out the window and my money would have still been better spent.
Even North Korea has smartphones. This moron is flying a little too close to the sun. Of all the terrible things that might actually become law someday, an all out smartphone ban isn't one of them.
If you want the common person to continue being able to afford to use computers, for fuck sake use Linux and foss software and stop supporting everything else. Enshitification has to lose at all costs even if that means you have to learn a few commands.
If x86 is going to die, Apple has to be defeated at all costs or else computers are going to become 10x expensive once they establish a monopoly. I hope someone starts making real progress in ARM system stuff. If they do away with expansion ports and make it so the gpu, ram, and cpu are all on one chip even on the competing non-x86 non-M1 systems then everything's fucked though.
Gaming though. The gaming situation on non-x86 cpus is passable at best. AFAIK you can't put a 4070ti in any non x86 system right now and have it work. Are there even any commercially available non-x86 systems that have pcie 16x slots?
The death of x86 is inevitable I just hope we can still play computer games on cheaper homebuilt systems afterwards because having to replace your entire system just to upgrade the integrated non upgradable gpu is no longer better or cheaper than consoles. I absolutely fucking doubt even indie developers, let alone others are going to downgrade graphics to let their games run on cheaper systems when this happens and everything becomes 10x more expensive.
If a game doesn't work on proton it's not worth playing for me.
Being homeless is like the software piracy equivalent of housing. You're not paying but rich people are "losing money" since homeless people aren't paying them $4000+/month therefore it's a crime.
