I keep hoping to use the social networks for something else. I'd really love to talk about games, music, etc etc. But somehow it always turns political. Don't follow me if you don't want to see potentially either or completely at random.

Last Notes npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo It isn't as if they couldn't train people. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo It amazes me how much people on the right fail to understand that this is what the GOP has been trying for a very long time to create (at least back before they changed over to the nazi party.) This is privatization at its strongest. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Amazing how one-sided this is, isn't it? It's almost as if the whole "an older person is incapable of handling the office" (but somehow this other person who is less than one term younger is fine) is completely disingenuous... npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo "In today's age, advertising has become a necessary evil for an Internet-focused organization to stay in business" npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo COVID-19 is proud to announce that even as vaccination rates fall as a whole, programs like BRIDGE are ending to help ensure the rates will fall even further. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Until you try to install something newish or a "low priority" issue takes a while to get patched out, lol. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo On my Android phones I do not for security reasons but for tinfoil hat reasons. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo This sort of thing is great for live setups, but I feel like its use outside of scenarios like that is pretty limited. Even on my Android phone which these days uses an image instead of a partition for security reasons can still be a bit of a pain. I use root access and writing things basically requires something that mounts an overlay during boot time (which of course means no go on locked bootloaders and much more compromised security on loading) npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Took long enough. This was literally what it was designed to do from the very start. There is a reason they specifically took over the previous system of checkmarks specifically and didn't implement a new system (like making the accounts highlighted in gold or something.) npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo I keep hoping stuff like this could at least somewhat help with the shockingly horrible way most people in areas like mine drive. I'm legitimately shocked if this one doesn't because I see numerous people in my area who just can't even be bothered with proper lane changes at all -- they don't look, signal or anything. They just suddenly swerve and you better get out of their way or else. (They literally would rather die than push that tiny stick slightly.) npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo There must be more to it than it being made of aluminum. How much extra does that really cost in manufacturing? $1? 50 cents? At $500 it should be reaching Steamdeck level of performance and capabilities... npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo I had to check the date on this post. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo To be clear, it is impossible for carbon capture to ever reach a sufficient level. It is an excellent tool, but it *must* be coupled with other solutions as well. We need a multi-pronged approach. Reduce emissions and waste, capture what we can, use alternatives where we can, etc etc. If we do all this stuff together, carbon capture becomes an incredible tool to help support the other solutions. But it can't replace the others. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo I seriously can't see how people can't see that calls for privatizing things with no limits won't result in, well, no limits. In such a system it's not lowest bid wins, it's everyone finds the absolute highest bid they can get away with and then just focus on marketing to convince people their way overpriced service is better than the other way overpriced service. Marketing works a lot better than pricing for competition it seems because that's just how humans are. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Seems silly to do it internally at all now that modern operating systems have means of connecting external spellcheckers to virtually anything. Linux has done that forever. Windows basically does it on most modern things almost the same way. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Just FYI, a lot of your pages that show command line samples with animated text or blinking or whatever often looks like the below image for me. I think it's a misconfigured font setting where it just doesn't agree with all browser settings. It probably just needs to specify size I think (it looks like it's coming out really really big)? Not 100% sure though. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo I'm a bit surprised to find I'm actually liking KDE Plasma. I have a bit of a kneejerk towards more inefficient stuff like all the compositing effects and etc (which of course I turned off) but overall it actually seems to be pretty lean and efficient for what it does. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Actually, it's because SERN controls the only fully working time machine and viciously attacks anyone else they catch trying to build one. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo As a general rule of thumb, when something where privacy is a concern straight up skips the EU it means you don't want it elsewhere either until they fix whatever makes it non-compliant with EU privacy laws... npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo They actually had the Pocket 386 for a while. I never even understood the point of the 8088 system. It would limit so much software capabilities even in regards to retro terms... A 386 makes a heck of a lot more sense. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo This sounds like it requires serious investigation. For example, might he have some stake in the company that produced it? npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Someone could make a live distro based on it. There is quite a surprising dearth of those. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo "For its part, Kaspersky and its representatives have always denied the US government's allegations." npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Went to Manjaro recently in part because of AMD's weird foot shuffling over the extremely major Ubuntu 24.04 release and all the many distros built around that. (Major LTS release and as far as I can tell the only problem is that for some reason it is built to require specific python modules that conflict -- friendly reminder to everyone, don't freaking use Python in anything that matters, it's a hot mess. They could fix it in a week if they tried but apparently don't care.) npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Rofl, what the heck even? npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo I know generally speaking such contracts have clauses that effectively try to claim they can cancel for any reason, but I suspect in many cases this may still not actually be legal -- or at least open them up to punitive damages of some sort even if technically legal. Would be nice if people hit back in such cases, though I know most doing this probably aren't lawyers. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo The idea is sound enough. Would be nice if there were some more automated method people might use on local LLMs or things not owned by large corporations that take your information to actually use this. For local LLMs and such one would just have to do this manually I guess. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo It's so weird how far back some of this stuff goes that we still use today. Even Wayland that is "new and bleeding edge" is 30 years old... npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo I imagine even with a NPU processor use for LLM tasks is going to be pretty severely limited on a RPi (even 5.) RAM of course being one of the biggest constraints, but if that "TOPs" measurement means token operations per second, prompt processing alone is going to take ages. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Whew... npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo I presume this is using a VM? That would be pretty inefficient and messy though. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo A good reminder of why people never should have been ok with EVs relying so heavily on closed, proprietary software... I never understood how people accepted this in something as costly and vital as a vehicle. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Well, it's mostly for hardware. They're pushing hardware really hard and focusing solely on "AI" portions. Which is a thing that bugs me on them and AMD both really. Instead of making the stuff people are trying to do (RT and etc) run full speed native, the focus right now is on running low resolution and upscaling using "AI" resizing (which lots of issues that bother my eyes like ringing.) Some modern games (Starfield) look awful at wrong settings due to relying heavily on it. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo I guess it's not wrong, but, lol, I go back to DOS games today I used to play keyboard only and struggle so hard to find it comfortable. One of my favorites is Daggerfall which can be played with modern WASD + mouse almost perfectly despite its age. That game was so ahead of its time. I probably put 1000 hours into it back in the day. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Does TDK have some sort of exclusivity agreement with Apple? I haven't exactly kept up, but they used to be just a tech company in general, not specifically tied to Apple. They're not an "Apple supplier" if Apple just happens to use their products... npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Actually thinness is not good. We need to go back to devices that we hold being designed for human hands. Current ones are so thin and slick now that it's nearly impossible to hold onto them without a death grip. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo It has launched. This is it. This "alpha" is all anyone will ever get. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Yeah, but they're also responsible for EV cars sinking in the ocean and shocking people while they chase you to nom on your legs. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo I tried to tell everyone that the robots.txt thing wouldn't be respected back when they first started trying to block LLM data crawlers and I got ripped into. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo I played a port of Drakkhen. SNES I think? Been a while. It was actually rather impressive considering the timeframe of when it was made. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo I really want to know what is going on with these big companies lately. I swear they've all completely lost their minds. Is there just sort of an event horizon thing going on where they just sort of passed some sort of equilibrium point and are now basically freefalling into some kind of insane dystopian ideal? npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Same! First time I saw 800x600 in something my mind was blown. Even just getting some DOS games to look better (King's Quest VI in Windows used higher resolutions for the portraits for example) was huge for me. For a time I even ran 1024x768 on a monitor that couldn't really handle it so everything was kind of a bit blurry just because I wanted that resolution, lol. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo With a 600MHz -- albeit a Celeron -- you should be able to play non-accelerated games that support high res smoothly even. Very nice setup indeed! npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo I can imagine the GPU alone would be a pain. Is that a Voodoo 1 or 2 passing through a second videocard even? I bet it's easier to find a Voodoo3 based solution these days, but I imagine that would be bad for DOS gaming. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo This is really neat. So compact and a pretty nice setup there for that time period. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo The thing is, the games weren't really about that originally. It was nice and neat when you got a nicer than normal item, but it wasn't the whole game. You could just play and enjoy the game and that was bonus, not a requirement. Making finding those the chief focus of the games now was always horrible. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo In other words they hit the limits of what they can get away with in a country with privacy laws so they'll just steal info from everyone else. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo It's starting to reach the point even Windows 10 is beginning to fail for even gaming. Microsoft has lost their everloving minds. It's hard, but I'm trying to switch to Linux for even gaming these days. It definitely isn't the same experience, but if I can escape from Microsoft's insanity it will be worth it. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo I hope this is a positive sign. Microsoft has lost their everloving minds lately. If nothing else they need a little shaking up. But really it is long past time for gaming to not have to rely on Windows. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo I'm mostly like Audacious best these days. It's still fairly clean and not too bloated and has a lot of features more resembling Foobar2000 which I've missed from Windows. Though it still lacks quite a few things (such as controlling the output frequency apparently. It just outputs at the default. So if you want to avoid resampling you have to change the system default to match your primary sources.) npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Or, alternately, instead of non-FOSS solutions, you could use Stable Diffusion. 🤷 npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Thanks for the info. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo I was thinking of that one. Probably multi-instance is still my easiest way to go, I just wanted to see how realistic it would be to try to stay same on both. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Yeah, I couldn't specify because of character limits, lol. I primarily use the site. So I think that answers that question. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Does anyone know if it's possible to have two accounts on the same instance and how easy it is to cross-post if so? I'd like to switch around to having two accounts with one dedicated to one thing and another to everything else but would like to keep using this instance (don't want to clutter this with discussion of why.) Ideally I'd like to be able to just click on something to switch accounts, but if it means logging off and back on I'll have to do two instances. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Says the man who puts spyware in people's cars. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo The real question is "can you *ACTUALLY*" because I saw a lot of people saying the RPi4 with 4GiB of RAM ran as well as a decent laptop and in practice I'm finding what it actually does is freeze up a lot, struggle to play videos online, and even overheat and crash. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo You really do have to wonder what's going on in their minds to push Recall so hard and only just now *finally* acknowledge that every single person out there looking into it has said "this is terrible." I suppose in theory there is some use-case for this, but I just haven't seen one single person actually come up with one. Yet over at MS someone came up with the idea, people approved it, and whole teams worked on making it happen. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo I want to say 7 Days to Die, but for some reason I had a performance issue with it in towns? I need to diagnose that at some point and see if the Windows version does better in WINE because I don't get that issue in actual Windows. But it may just be a bad setting or something. (Actually, I'm suspecting the filesystem -- btrfs -- I was using could also be a culprit.) npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo The PC Engine would be an even more extreme of east vs west with hardly anything not from Japan on it. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/577/235/644/777/489/original/51da9eb1c2e0dc58.jpg npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo The competition thanks Broadcom. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Too bad anything running at the user's access level will bypass the encryption. Aka it has little effect on things like viruses, exploits, etc etc. (Pretty much just means someone physically sitting at your computer will find it harder to access.) npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Uhm, him paying less attention to it actually would be a positive, so it's kind of win-win to not give him the money. In fact, the less he is paid the more the rest of the world wins... npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Well, Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure looks about the same on every platform regardless of what the Wikipedia entry may say. Even the PC versions look virtually the same. Which actually brings up another point: it might be more a matter of a lot of games of the time period tended towards such styles. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo This is one of the dumbest ideas I have heard in regards to AI. This *WILL* compromised the BIOS. Not only will it be more vulnerable to viruses that use the right keywords, but it will be just plain vulnerable to the user typing the wrong thing or even simple "hallucination" deciding to run your CPU at 12 volts. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo One thing I noticed a lot of on the MD/Genesis that affects a lot of games and I think maybe might apply somewhat here is that they all wanted a sort of "more realistic" look. Obviously doesn't apply to stuff like Castle of Illusion directly, but I think indirectly it created a sort of culture of trying to make games look a certain way. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo It's funny when you realize Vocaloids already exist and do it better. But a lot of the stuff this produces would be great for banshees or something in games I guess. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Even more anonymous: just run a LLM on your own PC. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo There's also another major disease going around that vaccine misinformation has been causing problems around. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo I can't understand why so many things are throwing their all behind LLMs when flipping a coin is literally more accurate... npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo ngl, for me Linux is still a much more unpleasant experience. Even file managers just aren't as nice (though, to be fair, I've mostly been using CubicExplorer in Windows which is horrendously outdated, abandoned, and starting to work less and less every system update. :sadness: ) Especially dealing with packages that rely on Python (god what a hot mess) which more Linux stuff does than Windows stuff does. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo This is the fundamental problem with "AI." It's not AI. It can't learn. They have to manually program those conditions in. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Thing is, even if you 100% trust MS with your personal data, the chief issue here is that it's a freaking huge attack vector. And I don't just mean obvious stuff like downloading "thisisnotavirusyoucantrustme.exe" and running it. I mean potentially exploits in browsers or etc could open a person up to attack. It's SCARY easy to access the data it records... Even assuming they harden it from how it was in early samples, it's still fundamentally insecure at its entire basis. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Do they use a SoC controller yet? I still don't understand why Intel didn't copy that ASAP when AMD did it. With economy cores and such a SoC really is needed... (Software routing is troublesome.) npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Nano here. Nice and simple, yet effective. It has basics like syntax highlighting and etc and keeps things simple and not too weird. It doesn't do super advanced things, but that's fine. I just want to edit configuration files, view text files, etc. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo I'd rather trust to something like ClamAV. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo I remember when Python seemed like a good idea. Now it's just a hot mess with conflicting packages and even some stuff that just plain refuses to work on a version of Python that is almost a full year old now. (There is slow adaptation and then there's refusing to support something that has been out so long it's about to be replaced with a new version anyway...) In fact, most things seem to prefer 3.10 from 2021... npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo I keep wondering over and over what was even the thought process in coming up with this? Much less greenlighting it. I know MS has been getting worse and worse lately and people let them get away with way too much crap when they should have mass exodused the moment Windows 10 came out with so many privacy violations built right in, but instead people keep doing the opposite (helping support worse and worse things.) But this is going so far. Will people finally put their foot down? npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo My biggest problem has mostly just been gaming. WINE (or especially Wine-GE and Proton) has gotten better than it used to be, but it's still a hot mess. Especially trying to get prerequisites installed for some stuff (winetricks is such a PITA. It fusses at you over and over and a lot of functions fail to download or extract then just cancel the entire operation. I wish it were legal to just distribute pre-configured prefixes.) A few games still fail to work right or at all. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo But cat will get bored if it just sits there doing nothing. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo A new feature of the social media age. No one can remember anything for more than a week or so because by then another 100 horrible things have popped up to distract us all. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo I've had trouble with a lot of things just not supporting IPv6 at all. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo My own mother is one of these. I don't know what to do. I can't block it on all of her devices and even if I did, she receives some misinformation straight from misinformation sources via email and etc. What can one even do when a person is just willingly indoctrinated? npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Heh, is that an Everquest wallpaper? Seems fitting. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo God, here we go again. Blame the videogames. Never blame the fundamental underlying problems. Games are an easy target, so it must be their fault, right? And before that it was movies. Before them it was books. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo I don't think you can say "this is not quite what I said" about an actual recording of you saying something... npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Gee. I am very very surprised. This is my surprised face: 😐 npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo To be fair, mv is actually move. It just doubles as being able to rename. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo As neat as it may sound, what are you going to do if Musk arbitrarily decides your name should be X and you should obey his every whim? While I am being facetious here, the fact is, too much of his products and services come down to his whims in some way or other eventually and you can't trust your brain to whims. Period. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo I've found KoboldCPP's (or for me koboldcpp_rocm) implementation to be positively excellent. In a lot of cases though it's less about which software you use and more about the model you use. A larger, slower model often produces better results than a smaller one. But regardless of size quality varies from model to model. One of the best still today for what I think you're talking about here is probably the Mistral model even though it's only a 7B. (But it really depends what you want.) npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo I've been using Manjaro right now. Not happy with the various *buntu flavors (and mainline Ubuntu itself is unusable for me -- that UI is a hot mess if you're not an Apple fanatic.) Manjaro gives me a decent balance of a lot of things so far. I realize a lot of people don't like it and I've considered a closer to mainline Arch distro like EndeavorOS, but this ultimately has ticked all the right boxes for me. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo They're probably the opposite. Their adventure games are a bit more protracted with a heavier focus on obtuse puzzles in many cases compared to, say, Sierra which tended to run easier in comparison. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo I never have understood why this wasn't considered a priority feature. It is very hard to talk about a post you are referencing when people can't actually see the post. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo One thing I've always wondered is why group access isn't ok if the group is the user's own named group (eg if username is Person, the group name would be Person.) Which is going to almost always be the case with anything in the ~/.ssh directory anyway. I get the security implications of allowing anything else access, but why is the user's own named group not ok? npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo Windows 7 and XP were the "goat." 10 is just the thing we have to use to use something "modern" since 11 is hot trash. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo No, really, drinking raw milk d̶u̶r̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶H̶5̶N̶1̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶b̶r̶e̶a̶k̶ is a bad idea. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo That is some weird wording... In other words, they have intentionally made a setting to turn it off in a search, but not made it easy to use directly. They may remove this at any time or change it to something else. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo It's weird that Mistral 7B is still one of the top contenders after all this time. npub1mrwxa0h3ye3lmxfcjq32zwje6wng3zr5xn63ma6saxf42ehpgwzqfluec3 Nazo The Switch is basically a nVidia Shield. The hardware is fairly well known and people ported Linux to it quite some time ago. Though if you're going to run something other than the stock Switch OS you're probably better off with Android as it's more mobile/TV device friendly.
