The readme doesn't inspire confidence.

Beautiful art.

Considering the price, it's probably only aimed at Threadripper type scenarios or someone using an iGPU desktop system.

There are distro, even user friendly ones, that follow this philosophy.

For SBCs I can recommend DietPi. It is extremely minimal and optimized for SSH/CLI based management with no extra bullshit. That being said they have excellent defaults and very well developed, spartan yet highlight optimized tools for system management.

I would go as far as arguing that true minimalism is not about tailoring your SBC/computer, but having a system that's really focused and with a defined vision.

I was thinking of applying to Canonical for a senior analyst position (non-technical). They offer remote positions even if you live in Ukraine (with the right experience and knowledge of English and additional languages). The strange questions about high school put me off (I have 10+ years professional experience).

!retrocomputing@lemmy.sdf.org is pretty solid.

That's what I am referring to. Seems like they got into the market in 2012 or so.

I remember thinking it would be a bad idea to get one.

And that’s how they lost mobile to Arm, because before the iPhone, Intel wasn’t serious about mobile because of lower profit margins. Then when the mistake became obvious, they instead wasted billions trying to catch up quickly! And when that failed they gave up!

I am old enough to remember when there were x86 smartphones (very niche, they weren't available where I lived around that time, but they were in the news). This is spot on.

This is is brutal, especially the interview with Shuttleworth:

To the question "How was your university?", I answered that it wasn't prestigious, and pretty small and rural, as we could see cows from the windows. Shuttleworth immediately interrupted me to say "don't play games, don't try to muddle your answers. I'm interviewing you for a senior position, I'm asking you questions, I'm expecting straight answers." I was so flabbergasted that instead of answering properly ("As I'm interviewing for a senior position, I'm expecting proper senior position related questions."), I gave a meek "Okay…" Some parts of the conversation were equally awkward and filled with an unhealthy amount of salt, especially about upstart ("They're a reason why Chromebooks are using it", the reasons are mostly technical debt, not technical excellence.), mir ("Wayland has the same design flaws as Xorg"), … At some point, someone bought him a plate, and he started to eat, without excusing himself about doing so. I asked him why he would spend time interviewing prospective employees in non-executive positions, let alone individual contributors, as this is likely eating a lot of his time, given that Canonical currently has around 1200 employees. He told me that he like to know who is hired, and that this process allows to root out average candidates. After 40 minutes out of a 60 minutes scheduled interview, Shuttleworth said "Ok, nice talking to you, have a nice day," and abruptly ended the interview. I seriously thought about withdrawing my application, as I really didn't want to work with him, but since the position was only senior IC, odds are that I wouldn't have to, so I didn't retract it.

So does this mean they are giving up on Arc dGPUs? There is no way they can maintain 50% gross margins for Arc.

Perhaps this can a driver of sorts for Peertube.

It's a good thing that I can't stand video tutorials or reviews (with the exception of video games).
