- Comment on Linux kernel is leaving 486 CPUs behind, only 18 years after the last one made 6 hours ago:
It’s a little different scenario: You don’t need to have a 486 to compile the Linux kernel for a 486. It’s not even cross compilation, it’s just setting particular flags and how to do the compile and what processor features to enable or not. It’s probably useful to test it periodically on the actual processor but in a strict sense it’s not needed.
You do, in general, need to be running on a 68000 to compile parts of the actual whole OS for 68000, since so much stuff is different or custom for each architecture and there is plenty of work involved without trying to introduce emulation or cross-compilation into the mix in any way.

I still remember when Debian had problems with the 68000 autobuilders, because the fastest ones of those processors that existed literally could not compile packages fast enough to keep up with the uploads. I think they decided to add more autobuilders instead of give up on the architecture lol.

- Comment on Uncovered emails showed how Meta struggled to keep Facebook culturally relevant 2 weeks ago:
Jesus Christ dude. They took a wildly popular platform, replaced the social aspects that made it popular with horrifying ad-spam and didn’t bother to absorb any of the new features or paradigms that other apps were inventing and making popular. So people moved on. It’s not complex. And then, trying to diagnose why everyone might have abandoned it as a result, they say things like:
Second, it feels heavyweight to request someone new as a friend, which makes it hard to rectify the first issue.
Yeah that’s a huge issue. You nailed it, you fucking donkey.

- Comment on Brother has now succumbed to temptation, and is starting to fuck up your printer on purpose if you use third party ink 2 months ago:
I don’t know, man. Maybe it is lies. Cory Doctorow and Louis Rossman are not just random idiots on YouTube, but they are just as susceptible as anybody to reading some hearsay and repeating it.
On the other hand, the claims are very specific. “When you install third party toner, on this particular model of Brother printer, it stops respecting the calibration settings meaning that your colors are misaligned and color prints will look weird.” That’s pretty verifiable. It doesn’t mean it’s true, but it’s also actually not directly contradicted by anything in the Ars article. The article just says that Brother said you can use third party toner. Which everyone (as far as I saw) was agreeing that you can. Your prints will just look bad, after a particular firmware update, for reasons that are completely separate from any theoretical issue with the toner being third party.
IDK. I will not claim to know the truth here. But I’m not convinced by what I have seen so far that the story is definitely bullshit. And the whole thing of sidestepping the issue of “the printer starts refusing to apply color calibration”, and just talking in generalities, is also a little suspicious. That has nothing to do with third party toner being lower quality or something.
- Comment on Brother has now succumbed to temptation, and is starting to fuck up your printer on purpose if you use third party ink 2 months ago:
I mean it was news to me. I didn’t watch the Youtube video or feel that I needed to. I own a Brother printer, I did exactly the same thing both commentators talked about, recommended to people that they buy from Brother specifically because they didn’t do this bullshit. Now I am bothered.
It doesn’t talk to the internet, but I am wondering if having it connected to a Mac is enough to automatically update my drivers someday and start to commence fuckery, and if I should go ahead and figure out how to hook it up to Linux and have it on a frozen driver version just to be sure. I definitely like the way it works right now.
