> semi-proprietary thing like support for chromebooks

Many Chromebooks have better linux support today than any of Qualcomms laptops from the last few years.

It's horrifying that anyone takes Qualcomm seriously after their long history of broken promises.

Remember the Snapdragon Insider phone that was almost instantly abandoned? I think it never even got a single major release update.

They took everything that was open about Atheros WiFi and closed-sourced it by putting everything into binary blobs.

Most of the laptops from the last year or two are still not usable. Audio and webcams will almost certainly never be fully supported, or even supported well enough to be usable.

> AI buildout is not just slowing down but falling apart

Premise perverted, FUD averted, false-victimhood denied.

A datacenter did not murder your family.

There is an old Android app named "Feedr". Many people still use it, even though it's not listed on the Play Store anymore. Not to mention "Feeder".

Nobody is going to be able to find this by name when you have such a generic one.

WHERE DO I BUY ONE?

This is not a joke. The prime thing that keeps me driving my old vehicle is my avoidance of modern corporate totalitarianism in tracked vehicles, spying, and other crap. I'm not buying something just to rent it too.

I would pay above-market.

I'm researching this right now. Maybe I've finally found my new car.

I like this reply. It's nuanced. This guy didn't post that picture to be helpful. He did it to troll, and trolling is cruelty, and defending cruelty is immoral.

The world can't be that advanced when you have people shoving their religious imaginary friends in every sentence and then feigning victimhood for having it called out.

That's some really gross toxic-positivity begging.

THEN: "You can't violate our copyright because it's ours and belongs to us."

NOW: "We can violate your copyright because we want to."

YOU: "Where's mine, and how do I make more people click on these ads?"

> CEO of MZLA (the Mozilla entity that develops Thunderbird).

Was it really too hard to say "I am the" or add "here" at the end? Instead we get this lazy "words hard less wrds good" manner of speaking.
