@andytiedye@atomicpoet of course: it's there, why wouldn't they. They aren't stupid. Sometimes they even participate in the ecosystem, in a fashion. But they don't believe it's in any way sustainable I'm the longer term.
And yes, I'm quite convinced that at least a solid 30% of the Fediverse will prefer to block me after hearing what I think is the worst, but that's fine, it'll just confirm that I'm right.
@RaffKarva that's the other thing. The aristocrats at the time at least had an interest for the arts and a curiosity for science. Modern day oligarchs ar just psychopathic uncultured rubes that happened to stumble across too much money.
@greatgrandma@RaffKarva sure. And part of that was an objective lack of resources. Today we produce so much that we (generic) have to destroy part of the production to keep it commercially viable in the current socioeconomic distribution system. I would highly recommend Marshal Brain's «Manna» as an expression of how things could be different. https://marshallbrain.com/manna1.htm
@aeva point. In our case I guess the need arised from the need to give the user control if needed (also NUMA have some quirks that make the choice between OS and user control harder, but unless you want to maximize throughput on a multi-CCX Ryzen you only care about that on high-end workstations)
@aeva oh yeah, your problem space is quite different from ours, although I guess in your case there may be some benefit to be had by lowering the priority of the worker threads.
@brown what's the difference between your browser and any other FLOSS application built from source and distribute from the same repository as the browser?
