Just got a steam deck and immediately checked out the desktop mode, and I was somewhat surprised to see KDE and pacman as opposed to GNOME and apt, I have nothing against the former though a strong preference for the latter, anyone know why Volvo went in this direction?
Volvo probably trying to cast off their reputation for being "safe ang boring" and take on a more edgy image.
Ditching Internal combustion in favour of steam power is also a major shift for them.
I'd say its global benefits aremore economic than political. Though the political side probabyl didi prompt China to pour vital support into risc-v.
You said it yourself about more competition, and more competitors, better value for money.
and probably knock on pressure on arm and x86. more and bettter niches too probably.
I think it's already impacting for Microcontrollers.
For consumer/CPU market probably we just want to see more work on at least onne decent user OS (like debian for raspberry pi/arm) and a decent range of packages getting compiled on it.
As i understand it it (somewhere between barely and not at all) the idea is not that It's "expanding" in the sense of a balloon inflating into the space around it.
Its more stretching internally.
So the distance (or time it would take at constant speed) between any 2 points is geting bigger.
You could maybe also say it'd take more energy to move between the points in a set time.
There's probably nothing outside, but the distances inside get longer.
It's probably something to go with gravity, momentum and entropy. The actual concept of "distance" between things might not be what we think.
But all these theories give rise to the concet of large amounts ob unobserved 'dark' mattter and evergy, so the actual basis of currently observable fact (i.e. energy / mass) is a small fraction of what is needed for these theories to work.

widdows 2000 was the pinnacle for me, beat XP until i wanted to go to 64 bit.
Apart from having 64-bit, XP was a step back; even if I don't count the fucking dog thing.
XP was a fair bit harder to de-bloat than win 2000 and they were hell-bent on forcing internet exploder on the world.
XP was also at a time when Linux was becoming pretty easily usable and mac osx was impressive too - I remember using those imac coloured egg things at university in 2000. They were good apart from the mouse, and ran MS office pretty well.
StarOffice was already better than MS-Word at dealing with .doc format across versions.
and ancient version of Wordperfect were miles better for WP anyway ("reveal codes").
windows XP was already down to gaming, adobe and CAD/other specialist apps, plus maybe MS Excel that just weren't as good or not available on linux.

I wonder about raspberry pi - it's the image you download that has the known user and password.
It might mean that you can't sell one with a pre-imaged, pre-installed sdcard unless you customised the image.
oh i was just making a stupid joke about 2KB.
I didn't realise there was an actual other y2k problem.
How did they get to a 32 bit problem within only 2038 years?
Oh is it like 32 bit counter of seconds or some dumb shit like that.
Stupid shortcut data structures.
That said I'd better check the RTC module in my arduino alarm clock.
It's a clock module though so i assume it was designed by someone who gives time enough respect to store the data properly.
