I think that's right. I use the OS myself and I once went in to their matrix chat to ask for help on something because the way notifications worked had changed (I wanted to mute some notifs and not others and couldn't figure it out).

Immediately the main developer replied telling me I was doing it wrong, the way notifications worked in the OS was right and working as intended, and I was wrong and didn't get it. And I was like what the hell man. I came in here saying "I don't understand this, can someone please help me figure out how to use it?" And I was still accused of being a dumbass who didn't get it.

I don't find them credible either, I just find the way they go sicko mode on everyone all the time weird and feels like what you'd do to put up a smokescreen.

I don't think they're doing that necessarily, I think thestinger just has Mental Health, like a lot of us do. But seriously it's an awful way to present the project.

Yeah, I follow them for news but it's increasingly just long rants about the malicious forces conspiring against them. The cited attacks are just... Milquetoast criticism.

I installed Graphene on my phone and like the OS but I think I'll be using Calyx next time.

It's a concern though, because it feels like just mentioning GrapheneOS can summon the developer. Maybe the evil forces conspiring against GrapheneOS was the friends we made along the way.

I was not prepared for how utterly over engineered it was, but I kind of want to build a cheap knock off version myself. I have this feeling deep in my bones that I could build the actually useful parts in prettier packaging. Make it look like it was designed in 20's or 50's and shit.

Non-Fungible Croutons (NFCs) have emerged as a groundbreaking development within dining, redefining cronch in your salad. Unlike traditional dietary assets, NFCs represent being crunchy, granting diners the ability to monch. This creation of cromch offers fans a new way to engage with their favourite salad, allowing them to have a tasty meal :). Cooks can sell food with croutons, ensuring ongoing revenue streams. As interest in NFCs grows, restaurants exploring innovative use cases, from exclusive salad releases to unique soups, establishing a new culture of monching that cronch.

Even if AMD would still sell all the GPUs they make, I still think the "invest in AMD and make it worth more by improving its libraries" is still an easy path to make a profit, right? If AMD GPUs could suddenly run all the models that Nvidia GPUs could do, then AMD stock would just be worth more?

This would fuck the buyer even more (making the GPU shortage even worse, I think) but I do like the idea of having a Linux machine with an AMD GPU in the next 10 years.

So at the moment AMD is selling through as many graphics cards as they can make, so they don't specifically need this business. On a deeper level, for AMD all the silicon that goes into a consumer GPU is silicon that could have gone into a more profitable product. This is also true of nvidia tbh, but for AMD it's specifically their mobile products, consumer CPUs and enterprise CPUs.

So why does AMD make graphics cards at all? Shiping a high performance graphics architecture pays off down the product line, and eventually makes it into laptops, handhelds, and game consoles. I suspect this is why Intel is making graphics cards now, like I'd be shocked if there's any profit for them there at all but it could pay off in other products.

But yeah the bottom line is that the buyer is fucked. There's not a good reason for AMD to match nvidia on this type of spend (and it's gigantic, AMD does spend a lot and can barely handle gaming Lol. It's more than a dozen engineers!), so nvidia can charge what they want and screw over their partners as much as possible. I'm gonna hang onto my current parts for dear life.
