Linux 7.2 has landed, dragging x86 timing clean out of the nineties by making the Time Stamp Counter mandatory.

I wrote up a quick article on why ditching those ancient legacy fallbacks is good housekeeping, plus a few other bits like cache-aware scheduling and memory tweaks worth noting.

Is anyone still using legacy hardware? If so, what do you use it for?

    Earth Kings, Queens, tons of Earth Kingdom names and places (like the Forbidden Palace) are clear references to ancient Chinese history

    You’re going for the shallow likeness, I’m going for the essence. AND the creators are in a liberal environment with all of its prejudices and propaganda.

    the whole theme of the franchise is that no one nation, no individual, no political system or movement, is really a pure good or bad

    I’m not even saying the show runners are right in what they are trying to say, not that they even convey with competency what they were trying to - this right here is trashy post modernism (“people have their own truths” Yeah, like Nazis and Zionists)

    What this makes clear is that you’re a liberal and I’m not. And nothing more.

        What isn’t black and white, except neoliberal conformity? Surving a war against the Evil Empire? B&W. Fighting against the lap dogs of the Evil Empire? B&W. Genocide enforcers and enablers are bad people? B&W. Starving a population that won’t give their land to resorts for the filthy rich? B&W.

          I’m confused. Are we still talking about Avatar?

          Well… just as one examples in the original series, Iroh was one of the worst war criminals the world had ever seen. It’s hard to argue he isn’t gray. If he had been seen as B&W, things would have not recovered.

            We never talked about Avatar. War criminals only deserve one sentence.

            But I guess the show was successful in relativizing war crimes to children and nurturing good citizens for the Empire.
