  • Trump Denies U.S. Is Seeking Regime Change in Venezuela

    Jump

  • The US has wanted regime change since Hugo Chavez won in 1998

  • Far-right AfD surges to 39% in German state, one year before election

    Jump

  • After Trump 1 won in 2016, it was like centrist all the way to the far left across the western world neglected to focus on their own domestic fascist movements. This has been a long time coming and it's sweeping across Europe. Seemingly a rapid acceleration post-COVID. A lot coming together. People feeling poor with little hope for upward mobility, a major rise in xenophobia and anti-immigration, fear of Russian invasion, anger over more visible reality of being US vassal states, debt/economic crises leading to austerity

  • Democratic research finds voters prefer populism over ‘Abundance’

    Jump

  • In speech populist phrasing gets people going. Saying, "need to cut down the bureaucracy and red tape" sounds like run of the mill two faced politician talk. Abundance is pretty much trying to use the same language democrats speak with to just a smaller subset that has widespread appeal but it's still real mediocre. Not exciting stuff. Anyone just watch that Richie Torres interview about Israel and Palestine. Pretty much try to not make a single position change, just try to find ways to be the same and snake tongue your way to higher approval. The whole abundance thing is just more of the, "they go low, we go high" of the past decades

  • Huawei unveils new trifold smartphone before Apple’s iPhone 17 reveal

    Jump

  • It'd be good for comic ebooks, PDFs, documents. Pretty much stuff you'd use with a tablet. I see the appeal of a one device covers it all. Phone, tablet, if it had a solid desktop mode, office productivity. Don't have faith in these mobile first OSs to do it all well though

  • New Valve trademark for 'Steam Frame', looks like we're getting new hardware

    Jump

  • I'm hoping for an ARM based standalone Linux VR headset. Both VR and Linux ARM gaming would get a major boost from a major company putting out hardware with software support. A PlayStation sized gaming PC eventually someday too. Just an ARM VR headset is a bigger leap for Linux gaming from where ARM/VR Linux is today than an x86 gaming PC

  • Over 50% of the job cuts in video games are in California

    Jump

  • It's not specific to that degree, it's a kind of long article. Here's one of the quotes from the interview

    “Over 70%, and in some years 75%, of the layoffs have been in North America,” Satvat shared. “North America used to have 30%, 35%, 40% of the open roles, and that number is now down to 25%. Overall employment in the industry has actually increased since pre-COVID. But if you're in North America in a AAA studio, you're like, ‘what are you talking about? The workforce is cut by 15% to 20%’. Versus if you're in a studio in Asia you’re like, ‘What are you talking about? We’ve seen an increase in jobs’.”

    “And here’s another stat, over 50% of the cuts globally have been in California. California AAA is like the epicenter of the difficulty.”

  • Over 50% of the job cuts in video games are in California

    Jump

  • Ya. I think it's a provocative headline for US and Canadian users but the more full thing is that it's a AAA problem primarily in the US and US AAA development is in California. AAA employment is bad in the western aligned world but fine in Asia so some recommendations for workers in the industry that want to do AAA is that they may need to be willing to relocate around the world as AAA game studios boom and bust around the world

  • Trump Advisers Have Discussed a Job for Adams if He Quits Mayor’s Race

    Jump

  • Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jefferies, Richie Torres, Eric Adams, the Cuomo's. New York. Come on Democratic party, at least try to be exciting and in the case of Richie Torres, try not to sound like the most evil politician on camera in a softball interview in decades. Over in Maine, geriatric democrats trying to get the 77 year old governor to run against the exciting 40 year old newcomer. If Pelosi runs for reelection in 2026, holy hell has this past 25 years been the worse quarter century of democratic party leadership

  • U.S. military strikes drug-carrying boat from Venezuela, Rubio says

    Jump

  • Whatever opposition there was against Maduro, the US is ruining it for them. Instead Venezuela gets a clear view of the regional existential threat, further motivation to modernize its military and build non-US aligned trade. They're shaping up to be, and getting help from the US in drumming up motivation, the Americas Iran but they can't be boogyman'ed as Muslims

  • U.S. military strikes drug-carrying boat from Venezuela, Rubio says

    Jump

  • This isn't the 80s, I don't think people are buying into the war on drugs facade masking imperialism as much as they used to. Drugs flow along the pacific. Venezuela is small fries for drug trafficking. This is absolutely reasserting imperial interest in Latin America and Venezuela being the most prominent non-US aligned country at the moment in Latin America. If the US acts stupid and tries to false flag themselves into a regime change invasion, it'll be more of a clusterfuck than Afghanistan. No doubt in my mind nonsense in Venezuela would spark something in Colombia and I doubt Brazil would want the US to win either

  • Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis Rossmann

    Jump

  • It's time the community open source movement starting gaining a lot more traction on mobile. We need better hardware support and standards for a streamlined non-Google/Apple/MS platform. Something not beholden to any single company or country

  • Why did PinePhone fail?

    Jump

  • Like others, it was specs for me. I fully am ready to deal with minimal Linux applications designed for a small touchscreen display but for that compromised mobile experience, I want a good desktop experience when it's docked. So I'd like near flagship phone specs. So today would be like Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or better. Canonical had the right idea with Unity 8 but didn't execute

    Now today there are mobile Linux frontends but no company pushing out hardware to leverage a Linux phones most unique ability, docked experience with full desktop applications. Things like the Ayn Odin 2/3 or Ayaneo Pocket S. They're putting out niche Android gaming handheld with high end mobile SoCs that I doubt sell a ton while in the Linux phone land, it's lackluster

  • With Induction Stoves, Chefs Discover a Foolproof Path to Perfection | From Michelin kitchens to home wok burners, induction delivers consistency that gas can’t match

    Jump

  • I plan on buying one of those countertop wok induction stoves. I hear enough good about them to want to try. Range oven, I need a new one and have planned on induction for a while

  • What will MS do when Linux becomes a serious threat to their monopoly ?

    Jump

  • Their only chance there was the late 90s to early 2000s. MS is one company compared to the totality of mega corporations using Linux and MS also uses a lot of Linux. More money at play in the server market than the general desktop OS market. Linux is the server OS

    The US government increasingly uses Linux. Other countries pick up Linux at a faster rate than the US. A higher percentage of people use MacOS today than 20 years ago

  • Dissecting the Apple M1 GPU, the end | Alyssa Rosenzweig stepping away from Asahi Linux

    Jump

  • The link in "onto the next challenge" is to an Intel page

    Introduction to the Xe-HPG Architecture

    I was hoping it'd link to FEX-emu. Would have loved if they went full time on that. Still, age 23 and done all that. At 23 I finished college and by age 30 still felt like a junior developer, mid at best

  • Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year

    Jump

  • Mobile desperately needs hardware with first class open source drivers and firmware to get away from Google/Apple/Microsoft controlled software platforms. Phones have been super powerful for a long time beyond what most need. We can take hit in theoretical peak performance to build up a better ecosystem until the market is large enough that the big money has to address the market

  • Gaming handheld prices are out of control, except for the Steam Deck

    Jump

  • Valves the only one with a major digital store. Everyone else is making money off hardware margin and frequent hardware releases. I want a smaller one though. Pretty much a Switch 2 sized handheld. Maybe even smaller. Different levels of portability. Like I don't need to be on a device that can run at 15-30w like current Steam Deck competitors when I'm just trying to play Persona 5 on an airplane. You can play that set at lowest TDP on a Steam Deck and hit 30fps

  • The days of custom Android ROMs are numbered, and Google is to blame

    Jump

  • Got to grassroots a more open platform over some decades like desktop Linux. Once a RISC-V phone comes out running some relatively normal Linux distro is out, I'll buy it as a tinker with phone. At least it'll be a portable battery powered device to run full desktop Linux when docked

  • The Democratic Party Faces a Voter Registration Crisis

    Jump

  • Democrats all mostly sound like most lawyers. Very trained but not vocally talented enough to be the local news anchor. Very mediocre orators for a very long time only getting by because nationally Republicans sounded just as robotic until Trump. Democrats need people that are fiery and probably funny. Bill Clinton and Obama, both win off Republican failings and incumbency being good things at the time as stability was valued. Reagan/Bush recession and Ross Perot for Bill Clinton. Iraq/Afghanistan and great recession for Obama. Incumbency advantage for the presidency died by 2016 and Hilary Clinton didn't have the sound bites trump could churn out

    Democratic voters and orgs need to elevate the vocal firebrands across the country. Local elections through federal. Public engagement matters. Social media metrics. 2016 Chuck, we'll get 2 moderate Republicans for each blue color democrat we lose, Schumer not getting sacked from party leadership was terribly uninspiring. Same with Pelosi at the time especially with the uninspiring reaction the democratic house had with the 2018 young progressive squad that got voted in
