I think it's related to the rise of China's BYD.

I'm sorry, but it's a private messaging app! Not even the owners are supposed to know what is going on in the chats. It's not a moderation situation - I don't know if he rejected a request to ban accounts, but it isn't how things are supposed to be.

I like Lemmy's culture better. It isn't perfect, and maybe someday I'll create my own instance. And I can do that.

And some people think Brazil is being extreme on putting fines for X (Twitter) to pay for not blocking some accounts.

This guy is accused of being accomplice to crime just for creating and maintaining the platform where criminals do their dealings.

The road is downhill, my friends.

It's not just about privacy. Linux and open source communities are a safespace for a novel way of doing things.

This is incredible. But how to make this legal?

If you want blogs, I recommend you use gemini: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol)

Download Lagrange and begin browsing. It's basically a small-web of personal blogs.

Linux is better than ever, but it is conflicting with Windows more than ever also. Changing between SSDs simply broke Debian for me. Anyway, Steam is doing an awesome job with compatibility, the games work much better than 2 years ago.

Bringing Flatpak to Slackware is a very inspiring endeavor that brings Linux data independence to another level.

My posts and comments are already exposed, so it seems like it would make sense to make votes public as well. I think it contributes to the general spirit of the platform.

That's a marketing problem, not a functionality problem. The terminal isn't really hard to use.

People used BASIC easily back in the 80's. My mom did it back then, and she isn't tech savvy.

If you want to push material that completely contradicts morals (respect for privacy and free speech, for example), maybe you need this kind of people. They'll just say they don't give a f*** right to your face. Not that Bill Gates or Larry Page are any different, the times just changed. Do you really believe Bill Gates is that intelligent God among men? Because I don't.

I thought Gigablast was a one-man company? Yet it had good search results and it was expansive.

Bandcamp is all about indie and new technology, so I think it will be far easier to replace than Spotify, that has agreements with diverse studio records, for example.

I saw another reporting on the same topic, apparently there are 3 algorithms developed.

I appreciate the honesty.

Not on my experience. But separate machines would work, if Microsoft never releases a "Wi-Fi network security patch for compatibility with all machines".

If Health won't make piracy legal, it's hard to believe anything else will.

For most cases, you need to use the package manager (apt is the standard for Debian-based) . You also need 'grep' to select a specific phrase sometimes.

But that problem normally occur when you are using proprietary software. You'll need to download packages (wget), add repository packages and run shell scripts for most proprietary software, and I think most people would use copy-paste in those scenarios.

It runs smoother and with no memory bottlenecks. Besides, you can load any gguf you want. You are not limited by the LLMs offered by GPT4ALL

The app will freeze the computer if you use models that are too big. It also produces stuttering in the smaller models.

I agree that the hashtag scheme is bad. It attracts people that want to self-promote or bots.

oobabooga is better than GPT4ALL. The software is better. You load gguf files using llama.cpp that is integrated with it.

ok. you run the start_linux.sh on oobabooga to run it on Linux. I've never run it on Linux, though.

I used it to check a user input format.

Wow. Locking up a Cloud really is ransomware when you look at it like that.

According to huggingface, you can run a 34B model using 22.4GBs of RAM max. That's a RTX 3090 Ti.

Ask ChatGPT. 3.5 should know it. I know I could install FreeBSD because of it.

That looks good on paper, but while I find ChatGPT good to create critical thinking, I've found Meta's products (Facebook and Instagram) to be sources of disinformation. That makes me have reservations about Meta's intentions with LLMs. As the article says, the model comes pre-trained, so it's most made up of information gathered by Meta.

Do you think I can program on a Windows VM? Do you work with it? I still use Windows because I need my programs to work on Windows (had my programs built on Linux fail on Windows Machines before). Do you have experience on this?

I'm not sure, but clearly something happens on the background, as my Debian drive broke after I changed it back and forth for the Windows drive. Grub fell back to rescue mode. After following some instructions and trying to boot from grub command line, Debian wouldn't boot after it recognized the mouse. That's what I know. Even in different drives, something happens on the PC when you go back and forth with Windows and Linux.

If you want to run Spotify, Linux really isn't your thing. Now, aside from Autodesk (I'm not an engineer, but I think FreeCAD doesn't come close), you can easily use Linux to work. It is much better for programming also. Windows puts so many proprietary barriers into programming that you actually need a minor version of GNU (MinGW) to make C++ work. Want to program something on C#? You should have this proprietary Visual Studio. Wants something for Android? You will need proprietary Android Studio.

The environment is just different. Every thing is built around people expecting to make money out of proprietary software. That's Windows. It's built by proprietary for proprietary. It encourages people to put absurd licenses into the most minor of works. "Wants to automatically lowercase a text? Hey, you should be profiting out of that!". "Wants to automatically copy and paste a text to many boxes? Oh my, you should be profitting out of that, clearly!".

It's another environment. Don't compare Windows as if it were more convenient because for programmers, and for ordinary people in many cases, it certainly isn't.

That said, I agree that Office 365 is a flagship, but maybe that flagship is sinking.

Windows literally makes an effort to break Linux distros installed alongside it.

Interesting article. Gives me some light on what Microsoft wants with open source code.

Maybe we just need a different type of NLP to work with summarization. I have noticed before LLMs are unlikely to escape their 'base' knowledge.

What do you mean?

I just find that if pip did not support that version anymore, the software would be lost. As that is covered by making executables, as I mentioned them. But what if I wanted to have access to the libraries that were used in the program? That wouldn't be possible. Because all we get in the source code is the dependency fetching, not the dependencies themselves.

It would be good to have an alternative where you get all that you need to compile the code again, not depending on fetching them from websites that might not even have them anymore.

This mentality of ephemeral code just adheres to the way big tech would like to do things, with programmed obsolescence.

An alternative to that way of doing things would be nice and would make sure we get access to the same working open source program in 30 or 40 years.

Anyway, more access to the open source packages can't be bad.

I think it said it's deprecated or something? I'm not sure, I just know I had problems downloading packages before.

I don't think it was setup.py . I think I tried to download it directly through pip install xx==0.4.0 or something (the version was required by the program) and it said the package doesn't exist.

But do Appimages make the dependencies code available? They pack everything into one working program, but what about the packages?
