Listen I love Value over all, a flat org of engineers with a lot of notable contribtion to opensource and gaming on linux in general, but there price fixing agreement for devs is kind of assholy.

Maybe check the https://www.softwareheritage.org/ if rember the names?

So you have at least one or two cases for supporting interventionism

Alright just checking your adherence to pricinples tbh

You would denounce a foriegn coup of Trump right?

Rice cooker with a scheduable cooker. I can get it ready the night before or right before i need. Then i take some of it and throw it in the fridge to have it ready for fried rice through out the week. The rest I chow with sauerkraut throught the day.

I try to do laundry every day, easier to match and put stuff away. I hang every thing besides socks witch can be stuff in a drawer or bag.

Ive been trying to move to more fermented, shelf stable or frozen foods too. Just to reduce the complixity of tracking when stuff is going bad as much.

I’ve been slowly moving the yard to a food forest managment style. This has been a lot of help personally too. So it gets wild its ok, i pick what i want when it makes sense or process stuff like apples when if I have free time and theyre ready, but its no loss to just put them in a pile to fertilize.

2026 I will continue to use the Linux Desktop. My current prediction and I’m sticking to it

Services that link matrix servers to other chat services.

Currently.

My LUG uses discord :/ but we are working on a matrix bridge.

Bridges IMHO seem like the way to go.

Engineering and quality samples float around sometimes which makes them more reasonable prices too. They have minor defects sometimes but I’ve never had an issue yet that matter

Tbh Ive had some joy using K8Gpt and I’m kind of excited to try Liz for my Rancher stuff.

To me though, RAG AI is good as a semantic search at the moment but you really should check with your own eyes and not assume the convincing string machine has any actual understanding about what it is saying.

Does help though when your eyes are bleeding and your troubleshooting something youre just not sure where to look.

Supreme Court outlaws clothes. What criminal acts are hiding in those robs? Only the guilty would hide it

So Mojo and Python then?

Right. There is probably a certain point where other hardware support is just a happy accident or miniscule effort. Its just there yet for them though it is getting close!

Why should they do it again?

They are basically the exclusive target for GrapheneOS for their feature set:

Non-exhaustive list of requirements for future devices, which are standards met or exceeded by current Pixel devices:

    Support for using alternate operating systems including full hardware security functionality
    Complete monthly Android Security Bulletin patches without any regular delays longer than a week for device support code (firmware, drivers and HALs)
    At least 5 years of updates from launch for device support code with phones (Pixels now have 7) and 7 years with tablets
    Device support code updated to new monthly, quarterly and yearly releases of AOSP within several months to provide new security improvements (Pixels receive these in the month they're released)
    Linux 6.1, 6.6 or 6.12 Generic Kernel Image (GKI) support
    Hardware accelerated virtualization usable by GrapheneOS (ideally pKVM to match Pixels but another usable implementation may be acceptable)
    Hardware memory tagging (ARM MTE or equivalent)
    Hardware-based coarse grained Control Flow Integrity (CFI) for baseline coverage where type-based CFI isn't used or can't be deployed (BTI/PAC, CET IBT or equivalent)
    PXN, SMEP or equivalent
    PAN, SMAP or equivalent
    Isolated radios (cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, etc.), GPU, SSD, media encode / decode, image processor and other components
    Support for A/B updates of both the firmware and OS images with automatic rollback if the initial boot fails one or more times
    Verified boot with rollback protection for firmware
    Verified boot with rollback protection for the OS (Android Verified Boot)
    Verified boot key fingerprint for yellow boot state displayed with a secure hash (non-truncated SHA-256 or better)
    StrongBox keystore provided by secure element
    Hardware key attestation support for the StrongBox keystore
    Attest key support for hardware key attestation to provide pinning support
    Weaver disk encryption key derivation throttling provided by secure element
    Insider attack resistance for updates to the secure element (Owner user authentication required before updates are accepted)
    Inline disk encryption acceleration with wrapped key support
    64-bit-only device support code
    Wi-Fi anonymity support including MAC address randomization, probe sequence number randomization and no other leaked identifiers
    Support for disabling USB data and also USB as a whole at a hardware level in the USB controller
    Reset attack mitigation for firmware-based boot modes such as fastboot mode zeroing memory left over from the OS and delaying opening up attack surface such as USB functionality until that's completed
    Debugging features such as JTAG or serial debugging must be inaccessible while the device is locked

The rapid growth model only makes sense for people looking for investors and the promise to snag a customer base once their hooked.

Value has a lot to lose but mostly margins to gain.

Listen I’m for keeping them pushing towards ethical contributions to the ecosystem, but I also entirely understand them not doing so just for charities sake alone.

Fair on the release part lol. I didn’t know that, but I guess the ignore part is still an issue since people want them to get it to work with other hardware out of scope, or worse Nvidia

Project scope. It makes more sense for them to make a distro that solves currently unsolved spaces directly related to their market (merging PC with handhelds, consoles, and VR). More scope either means more hours or more spread of the existing hours accros the added work.

They have been contributing alot back to upstream which does help Linux gaming in general alot.
