  • Well I’m probably wrong then, framework said they couldn’t get good performance and maintain signal integrity with upgradable memory for the Ryzen Max cpus

    On the other hand, Framework is run by far right sympathizers and are a few billion short of what Valve’s R&D might have access too.

    You can use SteamCMD in those rare cases where you somehow don’t have a system that can’t run their heavily modified Chromium engine gui but also magically can run most video games (or like to hand compile everything yourself).

    Chromium itself is open source software as well.









  • Oh I moved long ago, and have been living in Finland.

    When I spoke of the USA, it was before the internet was prevalent. Facebook was barely new as a concept once I was in university.

    I imagine now though it’s easier than ever to keep cultural ties / influence with the home country of parents or grandparents, with the internet being ubiquitous. Back then, you basically were tied to radio and if lucky tv. If my Hmong partner’s parents can easily access content and news from Laos in the USA I’m certain it’s even easier for people originally from India to do so.


  • Those are all good points.

    I will say you don’t have to be a migrant to be affected by a different country’s culture, because your family will still be culturally affected and will likely even practice traditions or celebrate old holidays and customs. I say that from experience - I only speak Spanish with my parents, and grew up watching mostly only Spanish news and programs, even though I was born in the USA.


  • What I mean by my current is that it seems to be a recent phenomenon of seeing both a rise in the far right but also that out of all minorities in power, it’s people of indian descent that usually have those top positions in English speaking western countries and are or support the far right.

    However, considering India itself is culturally far right, my guess is that’s the reason as to why. But I suppose by sheer numbers, as you pointed out, would be the reason they predominantly occupy that role, along with the predominant cultural values of India as an average whole.

    Still, you’d think you see more of other minorities too, like Chinese, considering that population is globally high too. So it makes me wonder why India specifically? There must be more dynamics at play than just sheer numbers.


  • I should clarify - framework releasing a desktop was a sign of enshittification of the company in general, not being far right. Desktops are already highly customizable.

    As for the other thing, it’s just a strange pattern that seems to have been emerging. The CEO of Google, CEO of Microsoft, and now Framework.

    As for politicians, there’s the UK and India itself as examples.
