I game on Linux. Go check protondb for compatibility with your favourite game

How's that working out? Pretty sure that they didn't protect a bunch of info at his home.

I feel like that's a way to rapidly run out of spare universes

Try Lunarvim, it's neovim with a bunch of great Plugins and configuration settings out of the box.

And red. Don't forget the copious amounts of red

Fully agree. Secrecy in content moderation houses agendas

Microsoft standards?

Thanks for the link!

The browser will auto generate passwords for you. Along with cross device browser sync, you pretty much never see them

No. I was just looking for an example of when Microsoft created standards for IE that other browsers could adopt, given that they were tied into IIS and undocumented in order to give them an uncompetitive advantage. Let's also think about how they deliberately downgraded performance, or broke functionality on non Microsoft browsers, again for anti competitive behaviour.

They were called browser wars for a reason, and Microsoft is very well documented indeed regarding their fuckerry. But you go ahead trolling.

Thanks for the summary!

Check protondb. It sometimes has workarounds for launcher issues.

Really? Do you have a source for that?

I thought they meant Linux Mint, the Debian derivative. Very confused until I read the comments.. perhaps I should read the article 😳

Given the pace of oss optimisation, I fully expect the requirements for a gpt3.5 equivalent performance model to be much lower in the coming year. The biggest issues are around training or fine tuning right now. Inference is cheaper, resource wise. For truly large models, the moat is most definitely gpu compute and power constraints. Those who own their own gpu farms will be at an advantage until there is significant increase in cloud gpu capacity - right now, cloud gpu is at a premium, and can also include wait time for access. I don't expect this to change in the next year or two.

Tl;dr; moat is real, but it's gpu and power constraints.

Anything at all. I run on raspberry pis, old lenovo laptops, new gaming laptops, amd pc with 64 gig ram and nvidia 4070ti. Make a bootable usb and test it to see if you like it without installing to the drive (live mode), then if you want to make the plunge, install.

Yup. Personally only use it for work. Linux all the way on all my machines

This is the answer! Next question is why doesn't the flatpack install do this for you?

It's a fine distribution. I have it on my desktop and at least one laptop. But yes, a weird way to decide to distro hop 🤣

This was new to me. Thanks!

Sounds like a great resource for game devs.

Very good to know, thanks!

You can have both python 2 and 3 on the system. It just depends upon which is the default as to how much you break it 👍 The symlink to /usr/bin/python is the important bit for most software. For deb-based at least, update-alternative is your friend.

Be the change you want to see, etc..

Feels like my old job.

There are others above who provide ~instructions~ warnings against bypassing paywalls (⌐■_■)

Good point! I was totally focused on the superior brown sauce

I can see most individuals and SMBs going with specialist "good enough" models which they can run on prem/ locally, leaving the truly huge systems to those with compute to spare. The security model for these MAAS systems is pretty much "trust me bro". A lot of companies will not want to, or be able to, trust such a system. PI/CID can not be left in the hands of the ai as a service company. They will have to either go on prem, or stand up their own models in their private cloud. Again, this limits model size for orgs, available compute etc. This points to using available models, optimised, etc. OSS FTW (I hope)

Heretic

Thank you for the works best editor Bram. :x!

I had an advantage pro, original, but the rubber fn keys eventually gave up the ghost. Also needed something more portable for work, so have migrated to ergodox now. Still miss that keywell though

Install mint (cinnamon). Very easy to use for starting. Will make computers fun again. As for games. Most work fine but ymmv

Top tip, if tired, replace the rm -f part of the command with something innocuous for a first run. Actually, is better to do this mistake once so that the two important lessons are learned... Backup (obviously, in your case it was backups, but the point still stands) and double check your command if it has potential for destruction 👍

He apparently advertises his own products. Shitty white label crap. No advertisers. I do get my info from Knowledge Fight though, so could be incorrect 😀

Nightmare fuel, or back story for a superhero... idk.

This is the way

csh FTW eh 🤣
