I mean, even open source LLM’s at the moment can solve somewhat tedious and tricky problems, and just on somewhat mid-tier consumer hardware. Supercomputers exist, and it just seems, with time, breakthroughs are inevitable.
But I will admit, like you say, we have limits, but in the realm of technology, the only real limitations are energy and hardware.
It has just never occurred to me that what I need while surfing the arch wiki at 3am are some thigh high socks.
So yeah, it’s me not society. Society can go fuck itself though, and if I had to wear them in solidarity with my linux fam, I probably would, just not as a regular thing.
(and i have some hairy legs, I refuse to shave them so I don’t imagine them looking that great on me either ahah)
If you don’t see AI replacing many roles, yet you know that LLM’s are not what many seem to think they are, text generators and not AGI, then it seems you don’t believe that AGI will ever happen.
Technology will continue to develop for decades and maybe centuries to come. To only see the short term possibilities is to forget how quickly technology advances.
And even just limiting the discussion to the short-term, what makes you think billionaires aren’t taking advantage of the hype and coercing governments to forego safety and regulation? Maximizing profit over enhancing the lives of the common man?
fedora, debian and arch linux user here, and no, as a man, I ain’t rocking thigh-high socks, but if I was a woman, hell yeah I would.
appears to be from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Surprised I haven’t read that yet, but yeah. That passage seems to be about relationships and status that you’d gain with freedom and choice.
I guess I just fear making a good thing into something tiresome, like how when I use one of my favourite songs as an alarm, I eventually start hating the song I once loved. But then again, I guess finding new ways to see things could prevent this, maybe.
I would imagine a clean install, over just an update from x11 to wayland, might work better, since applications might still expect x11, and fail to render or work properly.
I used gnome with wayland and an Nvidia gpu maybe a couple years back, and it worked pretty well. I’d give it another go. mutter, gnome’s wayland compositor is actually pretty good compared to most others.
Linux is about freedom and community. Sucks that there’s this stupid beef with people who ultimately love the same thing, maybe one just likes a trusted solution and the other likes the successor that’s far from perfect, but at the end of the day, it’s your system! You are the master of your machine, fuck what anyone likes, just do you!
it might be over an hour long, Linus S. said, so it might take some time.
Maybe some of the music I produce, but then again, i do enjoy not having the demands of a huge fanbase or other public pressure to create. So, theres pros and cons
I had a friend tell me, a linux veteran, that I should “try linux mint, it’s a great experience out of the box”, meanwhile I’m running Nobara + arch linux in a dual boot configuration, and have debian running on a headless server.
The older you get, the less you want the headache, but man, I’m not old yet, I still like tinkering here and there. I hate when things break, but with experience you learn how to tinker safely, and still can have fun without staring at black screens due to some driver misconfiguration.
I know it’s a normal thing, to not instantly look for alternatives to software you might have used for your entire life, and I get it, if it hasn’t harmed you or done you wrong, then it’s probably fine to stick with what you know.
But as someone who first experienced alternatives to Windows back in 2006, and like others who walked the more beaten path, we’ve grown tired of this stuff. The slow, decline of Windows, and the promise of something better with every update.
It won’t surprise me if one day they decide to full send it and charge a monthly subscription to use the full OS, not one bit. Enshittification, it’s bound to happen. I’m teaching my child about linux now, so they’ll be aware that software doesn’t have to suck.
Try something different, it’s a good way to live, to know you don’t have to remain where you are if you don’t want to. Of course, only if you want to!
really sucks that League doesn’t work . . . I know some people who play and the fact that it used to work just sours the pain.
I guess, at least Dota 2 works? I know they are very different, but I’d say similar enough and worth a shot so long as one isn’t too tied to LoL.
been running an nvidia gpu since 2019, literally switched from windows right as cyberpunk 2077 was being launched, and trust me, it was possible back then, and it’s even more performant now.
thing is, not even protondb is reliable. There’s been many times I’ve tried running a game, and encountered an error not posted anywhere, nor protondb, reddit or steam forums. All the comments on protondb will say, “works great out of the box!”, and I’m just left digging through random forums at that point.
The drama is so dumb. People who genuinely enjoy their OS and setup don’t participate in such pointless conflicts. I might have gone all in on linux since 2019, but I was 100% a windows lover for most of my life.
Just like nature, and touching grass, the world is full of beauty and diversity, so too is the world of technology diverse with solutions, programming languages, libraries, fantastic well-documented software, innovations, and hard-work. I see this pointless squabbling and just see just another conflict not born of the love for technology.
If I had to describe what a kiwi tastes like, it’s somewhere between a lemon and a pineapple. More sour than a pineapple, but not so much so that you couldn’t eat it raw comfortably.
I respect me dealers, thank you very much
If that’s a tampon, what does that make the Japanese flag?
capitalism worked pretty well in the 40’s and 50’s, in the USA, and then the corporate leaders realized that they could be overlords if they just stopped caring about everything but money.
We know kindness and money can coexist, but if little boy jack is taught from day one that if you don’t game the system, you will lose, he’s going to grow up to be Elon Musk.
