  • I’ve been running Bazzite on a Framework Desktop 64gb and it’s a beast of a little machine.

    Honestly way more expensive than I would ever recommend for anyone who’s using it solely for gaming. You could make something just as good, but bigger, for less. Or you could build something good enough and small for way less, depending on the performance you’re trying to hit. But if you’re in that sweet spot where you want a lot of power in a tiny package, it won’t disappoint. You’d be hard pressed to find anything as close in performance and size for a lesser price.

    Plus side, you got a lot of vram if you wanna play with local LLMs.

    It’s looking like the steam machine is gonna hit that sweet spot of being ‘good enough’ while being small and probably fairly priced.

  • It wasn’t just ‘for some reason’ it was strategic. I wouldn’t expect Trump to get it, but I’d hope a random person on the internet would have more sense than the President.

    Providing vaccines to third world countries acted as a level of prevention by keeping these diseases from spreading to our country or our trading partners.

    More pragmatically, providing this service allowed the US to push their influence on other countries too. Whether through providing aid, or threatening to withhold aid, this service acts as a tool for the US government to maintain their superiority on the world stage.

    Also, from a more fucked up perspective, keeping a healthy population of third world people is crucial to the exploitative nature of capitalism and its nonstop growth.
