I get the intel lower power when not doing stuff (wish amd had high/low config for cores too) but what I mean was, in laptop cpus that are not on battery (just connected to power) does amd do more with the same power usage?

if the comparation can not be done with the same gen cpus from two companies, then maybe a similar power usage cpu from amd and one from intel (laptop of course), do they for example have similar geekbench benchmark results? (for lack of better tool)

so what I am asking is I dont care that is the same gen amd and intel laptop cpu with both connected to socket power, if amd is better. I want to know if for the same power usage (not idling but working) amd is better or not.

care to explain a bit more?

care to explain that last part?

for example if I want to by a new laptop right now, do I buy intel? because it has better power usage? is that only idle and/or lower usage power? what about if I just plus the laptop to power socket always (like a simple desktop), then amd is better with respect to performance per watt?

I don’t think that is how it works. For example I don’t think you can get google security update for older android without updating the whole system. there were monthly google security update that are going to become less frequent.

Also I think the part that stops the apk installation (those not signed with signature in google database) are checked by google play services and that is installed in background which is the result of project treble and mainline that google implemented for modular updates without rom update. so you probably can’t stop google from doing this policy even if you stay on older ROMs.

maybe that was the remastering process issues. also maybe 4k movies are not actually 4ks and are AI upscalers from actual 2k masters.

if you use windows too, I remember from way back that windows made my network card to go to sleep(or some powersave move) at the windows shutdown, that make linux have issue with it.

I don’t remember what the exact issue was but I remember it was windows doing it at its shutdown to save power, because pcie network card can stay awake even with pc off so that computer can be woke up via network (‘Shutdown Wake-On-Lan’ or a ‘Wake on Magic Packet’) windows made the card go to sleep and linux didn’t wake it up.

My post was not supposed to be that TikTok specifically is bad.

my point was every platform (that uses attention as money generator) would eventually be some kind of short videos which emulates pov of user (vertical interface instead of TV horizontal interface) that encourage “engagements”

every platform becomes TikTok at the end.

Time to fund /e/OS GraoheneOS

no.

those are just android with some modification. two years from now google can easily disrupt them too.

phones need a copyleft new OS. not a foss one, an actual copyleft one. with an independent group managing it.

an OS that a company can decide what app I can run on it is just a surveillance apparatus gadget.

google never wanted user to have control of their phone even 10 years ago.

the easiest way to check this is to see if you can stop an installed app to ever do stuff without you explicitly opening it. they are so many “triggers” that apps can register and run based on them that user cant do anything about them. “wifi connected” “wifi disconnected” and so on.

if an app can “listen” to these triggers and I cant disable it from listening to them (even for non-system apps) them I don’t really own my phone. then android is just a attention stealing spam machine at best and spying and terror gadget for world’s supremacist regimes too.

I think even apple iOS has that option (disabling backgournd refresh per app ) and in that regard is better than android. If I wasn’t against non-foss software and I didn’t live in Iran, at this point apple iOS is not that different fro google and is more polished too.

you are welcome human.

remember that you are just a meat bag. future is AI overlord. don’t ever forget your place/.

sure. I am AI itself.

btw okular has way more options that I like. like color palettes. but paper is way faster for browsing.

but that would be rude. I just wanted to promote an app that I quite like (it is faster than the kde app I used)

what you mean?

the new paper app is faster and that is from someone who usually hates gnome apps because of lack of setting option. (even this app has that issue with gnome-brain UI that put the night mode on the left side sidebar option removed from all other options that are on the right side)

I understand the motivation behind people that think rust is a good language to write software in as it has better memory safety but I don’t think everythink needs to get rusted.

but I understand even less the people that make fun of passionate people that like rust and like safer software.

at first the meme was rust is a cult. now the meme is those who made fun of them are a meme.

example: https://techrights.org/n/2025/03/19/Sami_Tikkanen_Explains_on_Rust_Language_and_Its_Goals.shtml

I read this article with the expectation that it was a fair pro-con examination. and it had some bit that was very good point (like the discord part) but the theme of the article was just rust is bad because I say rust people are pod people.

this is not a good technical discussion.

and I ,as a non-programmer that have used linux for that last 20 years and like to follow software trends, like that rust is making a large part of security problems of apps be less severe.

I don’t that make me a cult member.

I used to use okular but now use the new https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.Papers which seems to be faster. maybe because it written in rust?
