Pandabase isnt OSS but its pretty great from what ive seen.

Well, for one example: Kissinger approved Operation Menu, which is estimated to have a death toll of at least 100.000 civilians, and this is just ONE operation. Operation Condor, an anti leftist repression campaign in the Americas, has an estimated count of 80.000 killed and 400.000 political prisoners. These are just specific cases: the “knife wounds” amongst the “amputated limbs” for an analogy.

How many millions died under Kissinger, Truman, McCarthy?

political shitpositing, context of this shitpost is I. fact political

well this is politics… semantics matter, “tankies” (whatever that term means anymore) are right about a lot of things, sure, but theyre no prophets.

no one is right about absolutely everything

when you see the world in black and white:

Are you alright? Is everything okay at home? Trying to hurt random people on the internet seems like a bad coping mechanism.

gambling is rigged

emphasis on the soldiers part but alright

plus, in war casualties are what matters. I’m only looking at this from a strategic perspective, not a humanitarian one.

Not “lots of”, more Russian soldiers died than Ukrainians, as is typical for this conflict.

UPDATE (putting this in a separate reply so you’ll see it): So I just dusted the laptop again, it actually performs somewhat well, turns out my first pass where I also changed the thermal paste didn’t get all the dust.

It was actually a midrange HP provided by my school

no i was actually referencing a laptop I had that did just that.

I’m not sure what to tell you on Linux since I’ve never had good luck monitoring throttling on processors on Linux,

Yeah, I’m starting to believe it’s thermal throttling too. Perhaps watch -n1 sensors in one terminal window and watch -n.1 "grep \"^[c]pu MHz\" /proc/cpuinfo" in another?

had a Ryzen laptop that was really good, except it did not have the thermal capacity to maintain a workload, and would throttle itself all the way down to 600Mhz

something something NBLK-WAX9X.

I don’t think it’s the processor, I suspect you either have a configuration issue, or a thermal budget limitation.

i have no idea what it is. I have tried everything.

I was originally planning on getting a Surface Pro 11 or other ARM laptop as my next laptop, but one day I was thinking about an old CLEVO P150HM1 which tore everything apart, and outperforms my 2015 T450, while being made in 2009. Needless to say, I got a lot more tolerant of the idea of buying an X86 laptop as my new laptop. I also realised that the price range an SP11 involved also allowed for a Framework Laptop 13. I’m saying all this to not conflict with the rest of my comment history, but in summary: Long live the Framework!

Wait why are you compiling on battery?

power strip died and i hadn’t realised.

In what way? My wife plays minecraft with several hundred mods on a (desktop) i5-4560

different cpu. I’m talking about the i5-5300U specifically. Not some other i5 of the era. Also, this doesn’t really matter but you’re addressing 4th and 6th gen, while the i5-5300U is, obviously, 5th gen.

well, the i5-5300u definitely is, at least for my use cases. it took so long to compile a diesel-actix rust project that the battery died before it finished (it was at 100%), and it can’t even run fucking Minecraft. even a raspberry pi can run Minecraft!

here it’s typically early-to-mid 2010s thinkpads being sold, so you’re probably getting a laptop with horrible performance
