I like your optimism, but it seems more like a Phillip K. Dick novel to me. >In 2021, society is driven by a virtual Internet, which has created a degenerate effect called "nerve attenuation syndrome" or NAS. Megacorporations control much of the world, intensifying the class hostility already created by NAS. from Johnny Mnemonic What can we do to make it more utopian?

Small nit but I was confused, I think Johnny Mnemonic is Gibbson? And I had to look up NAS, I think that part of the movie not the book. I think we have another couple decades before androids and mood organs of Phillip K dick at least but I could be wrong. But parts of Gibbsonian cyberpunk is already here!

You are so right. Bizarre. I thought that was Phillip K. Dick for all of my life I think. Even worse because Johnny Mnemonic is one of my favorite movies! I’ve got the Black Shakes worse than I thought.

Keep it up! I'm sticking with Thinkpads until Linux support

Also they have matte screens and real keyboards. The 2015MBP one was the last one that was passable for me, what came after is horrible. Even the new MBP that has real ports again is still not as good as the 2015 in terms of keyboard.

Thinkpad keyboards are great (I own a couple T400’s and used to daily drive a X61s), but the latest MacBook Pros have real, actually good keyboards afaik too.

You got downvoted unfairly, asking for sources is totally normal.

This has been long established. marcan_42 has repeatedly posted about this here, on twitter and reddit to name a few locations.

It might be "long established" but plenty of people didn't know this, including me.

Assuming it is the case I don't think it's polite to share this information. I don't know their motivation for creating a separate public image, but I think we should respect their decision to do so by not connecting them.

The Linux kernel does not accept anonymous contributions due to legal reasons.

> Code which has not been licensed as free software by its owner, or which risks creating copyright-related problems for the kernel (such as code which derives from reverse-engineering efforts lacking proper safeguards) cannot be contributed.

Some people just prefer their public persona to be in the form of an avatar instead of their real face. They want to have something there to represent themselves instead of just streaming a screen and nothing else, but they would rather that representation be an avatar or character rather than their physical selves.

Personally, I like the idea. IMO, we lost something when it became normal/expected to link our real-life self to our internet selves. We arguable gained some unpleasant things too (thinking of Facebook here). A persistent avatar/alias as an internet persona seems to match the real-life to internet-life relationship better. IE, for many, they’re different and rather separable aspects of life.

There was a Black Mirror episode that makes plain the downside of a virtual representation: it can be taken from you and manipulated by someone else. The persona becomes a sale-able commodity, and can be separated from your control.

I could imagine a super low power coprocessor that's always on would be a real useful tool. It could check my email and other low power tasks. And remote management isn't bad if it's entirely under my control. It's the closed nature that makes me distrust it.

Intel recent CPUs come with efficiency cores and support S0 standby, aka "Modern Standby", which can periodically wake up and do stuff like check for new emails.

There have been earlier attempts at achieving this functionality by Intel, can't recall what they called it right now, but it has existed for a while.

Can someone explain this vtoon trend to me? It doesn't seem to be driven by anonymity because their real name is easily findable, so I assume it's something else? It seems very common, especially in certain communities.

It’s like getting a specific haircut, choosing what model of glasses to get, or getting a nose job, or a tattoo. Or even just picking what style of clothes you want to represent yourself in. I.e. it’s simply choosing your appearance, using more modern technology.

That’s generous. I find it weird and creepy, interestingly the Hololive kids are exclusively young women with childlike affects.

It’s not fooling anyone to pretend like this is normal self expression.

This shouldn't be controversial to say, but it's blatantly obvious that it's a voice changer.

My headcannon is that Asahi Lina is actually Marcan since they both have a Spanish accent/twang.

At least in the videos I watched I found the speech pattern (like the talking speed) to match marcans, if you e.g. compare it to his presentation with fail0verflow at C3 for the PS3 hack or some of his streams. But that is also speculation ofc.

Apple should upstream their drivers. Who is Asahi Lina? Is that an actual person?

> Apple should upstream their drivers.

Apple's drivers are upstreamed, in Darwin. I'm not aware of any reason to believe that Apple has any Linux drivers that they could upstream.
