Which brings us to necessity, my software currently runs with manually written simd instructions. Ofcourse I can write ARM NEON polyfills for these, but again that takes a lot of work.
Using the word “polyfill” to describe that is making my eye twitch, so thanks for that!
Yeah, same here. It’s unfortunate that even with Raspberry Pi’s fall from grace, it remains the choice because all the other SBCs suck even worse. I’d love for some entity like Pine64 to step up, but while they make noises about being open source the support and follow-through and community just isn’t there compared to Raspberry Pi.

I appreciate this succinct way of phrasing the problem.
Compared to the standards of other SBCs, it’s downright excellent. Take this example, for instance.
I was under the assumption that Raspberry Pi was a US based company, but I just found out they are European and almost all made in Wales.
What a weird assumption. The Raspberry Pi was originally conceived as a spiritual successor of the BBC Micro, a tool to teach computer literacy to children. That’s why it’s made by a non-profit foundation and why they go so hard on having good documentation and showcasing projects and whatnot. That’s also how it became such a success and almost a “standard,” setting it apart from being just another random single-board computer.
I guess it’s an indictment of how far the Raspberry Pi Foundation has strayed from its purpose that it’s possible for people to be aware of Raspberry Pi but unaware of that history.
(By the way: ever wonder why they picked ARM for the CPU? At least in part, it’s because it’s British: “ARM” originally stood for “Acorn RISC Machine.”)

I’ve refrained from using any of these genetic testing companies for obvious (to this community, at least) reasons, but I would like to know that information. Considering advances in technology, is DIYing it a reasonable thing yet?
David Rudin, I guess? It says which company each person is from under their name. (The page defaults to the “Leadership” tab, so you gotta click on the “Board of directors” tab to see the correct list of people.)

Musk’s purchase of Twitter was backed by Tesla stock. If the stock tanks enough, that bill comes due.
You realize you just negated your own point with the car example, right? Unless it’s a Tesla, car dealers aren’t owned by the manufacturer and (unless you buy used) are the place you bought it from.
Edit: I just realized what community this is in. To clarify, I’m talking about the way it works in the US – I don’t know how it works in Europe.

In retrospect he understood all too well, and figured it out way earlier than most.
[Though other people investigating the url seem to be pretty sure the images don’t have a per user url, so this theory probably doesn’t hold]

If they send an image with a unique URL to each Lemmy user, they could link the IP to your account.
If it were a Democrat it would absolutely be in the title. All I want is some symmetry instead of bias.
And to paraphrase Michael Bolton from Office Space, why should we be the ones who have to move? The corporations are the ones who suck!

Nobody who’s bought a Tesla in the past few years is “innocent.”
It’s amazing how much damage ISPs have done to the Internet by having policies like that. Personally, I believe it was a significant factor in the rise of centralized walled garden services like Facebook.
As such, I would encourage you to self-host a website as a matter of protest and principle.
