you know you want it
re: edit: Thanks ^^ I like to think of it like a cuddle pit. On YouTube it always brights up a gentleman pecking his Pitbull tho ><; , and armpits seem to be a valid interpretation too.
Learned the hard way that it isn’t suitable for Roblox tho.
That reminds me of Chaotic AUR, though it’s an online public repo. It automatically builds popular AUR packages and lets you download the binaries.
It sometimes builds against outdated libraries/dependencies though, so for pre-release software I’ve sometimes had to download and compile it locally still. Also you can’t make any patches or move to an old commit, like you can with normal AUR packages.
I’ve found it’s better to use Arch Linux’s official packages when I can, though, since they always publish binaries built with the same latest-release dependencies. I haven’t had dependency version issues with that, as long as I’ve avoided partial upgrades.
CLEARLY This user doesn’t use corporate desktop apps
Some parents do this with speech impediments because it’s “cute”
It’s harder to unlearn and relearn :(
but as a puppy play thing, hehe yeah :3
Nuclear is also a good option. It has the potential to scale up to our generation needs faster than green energy, and it can still be environmentally clean when any byproduct is handled responsibly.
Do I trust my government (USA) to enforce proper procedure and handling? Not really… but I do think we’re less likely to have a nuclear accident in the present day. Modern designs have many more fail safes. And I think it’d still be much cleaner than burning fossil fuels.
I think they need to coexist, though. I think a goal in the far-future should be a decentralized grid with renewable energy sources integrated wherever they can be.
I’m on Arch, with Hyprland as my Window Manager. I use an RTX 3070.
For Wayland specifically, the driver was next to unusable for a while. I jumped ship from Windows in Sept. 2023. Beginning with driver 560 iirc, it got a lot better, plus their engineers pushed a lot of changes across the Wayland ecosystem to implement explicit sync support (a net positive, but before this, Nvidia was too stubborn to implement implicit sync, so bad screen tearing was unavoidable). Also there’s been a slow migration to using the GSP processor on newer cards. They claim it can improve performance, which may be true, but I also recently learned it helps them keep some more parts of their code closed-source, which is likely why it’s required to use the open source kernel modules.
At this point, though, it does feel very smooth and I can play games like The Finals at competitive framerates!
But relative to my performance under Windows, it’s still worse, mainly in average framerate. Like others have said, DX12 games seem to be hit hardest. I sometimes have to run lower settings to compensate. Also, if my VRAM gets filled, Xwayland apps all break, so I have to be very careful with higher quality texture quality especially.
Anyways, to answer your question, I think an average gamer doesn’t notice the degraded performance, without benchmarking or comparing framerates back to back— it still runs pretty smooth and framerates are still pretty high. If they aren’t happy with it, they’ll drop quality settings or resolution, just like they’d do under Windows.
Sick! That makes me want to use grindstones in building more, those look clean!
Yeah, Lemmy has a disproportionate amount of Linux desktop users, probably because the users who don’t use Windows out of principle likely won’t use Reddit. Plus, if you hang around Linux spaces specifically… yeah, it’s all like-minded users. It makes sense you’d just see memes from that perspective.
In other spaces, I have seen so much complaining about Windows, especially since W11. I personally had to install tools to change behavior or debloat Windows right up until I left. But I think those spaces are harsher on the idea of “switching to Linux” because it gets brought up every time, but doing so would take more effort and learning than complaining does. Also many users can’t or won’t forgo Windows-only apps.
Anyways, I think there’s embellishing on both sides, and a lot of it comes from a vocal minority. I think most Linux users aren’t insufferable about it, and I think most Windows users just haven’t considered it worth it yet to migrate and relearn.
The article’s title is ass, HL: Alyx already has a native Linux build. They’re working on an arm build.
That said, last I checked it’s generally recommended to run the Windows version through Proton instead, since it performs better that way. Maybe we could see that change?
I’ve already noticed having an easier time running old Windows games under Wine than on Windows natively— a handful of years ago, I found the disc for Tomb Raider Gold, but it was having me install a bunch of “missing Windows features”, and I never did get it to run. Tried recently on my 2013-era laptop and, beyond needing to invoke Wine on the executable, it played right away!
The difference between Gen AI and Sony v. Universal feels pretty substantial to me: VCRs did not require manufacturers to use any copyrighted material to develop and manufacture them. They only could potentially infringe copyright if the user captured a copyrighted signal and used it for commercial purposes.
If you read the title and the description of the article, it admittedly does make it sound like the studios are taking issue with copyrighted IPs being able to be generated. But the first paragraph of the body states that the problem is actually the usage of copyrighted works as training inputs:
The Content Overseas Distribution Association […] has issued a formal notice to OpenAI demanding that it stop using its members content to train its Sora 2 video generation tool without permission.
You compare Gen AI to “magic boxes”… but they’re not magic. They have to get their “knowledge” from somewhere. These AI tools are using many patterns far more subtle and complex than humans can recognize, and they aren’t storing the training inputs using them— it’s just used to strengthen connections within the neural net (afaik, as I’m not an ML developer). I think that’s why it’s so unregulated: how to you prove they used your content? And even so, they aren’t storing or outputting it directly. Could it fall under fair use?
Still, using copyrighted information in the creation of an invention has historically been considered infringement (I may not be using the correct terminology in this comparison, since maybe it’s more relevant to patent law), even if it didn’t end up in the invention— in software, for example, reverse engineers can’t legally rely on leaked source code to guide their development.
Also, using a VCR for personal use wouldn’t be a problem, which I’d say was a prominent use-case. And using it commercially wouldn’t involve any copyrighted material, unless the owner inputs any. Those aren’t the case with Gen AI: regardless of what you generate, non-commercially or commercially, the neural network was built using a majority of unauthorized, copyrighted content.
That said, copyright law functions largely to protect corporations anyways— an individual infringing the copyright of a corporation for personal or non-commercial use causes very little harm, but can usually be challenged and stopped. A corporation infringing copyright of an individual often can’t be stopped. Most individuals can’t even afford the legal fees, anyways.
For that reason, I’m glad to see companies taking legal action against OpenAI and other megacorps which are (IMO) infringing the copyright of individuals and corporations at this kind of a massive scale. Individuals certainly can’t stop it, but corporations may be able to get some justice or encourage more to be done to safeguard the technology.
Much damage is already done, though. E-waste and energy usage from machine learning have skyrocketed. Websites struggle to fight crawlers and lock down their APIs, both harming legit users. Non-consensual AI pornography is widely accessible. Many apps encourage people, including youth, to forgo genuine connection, both platonic and romantic, in exchange for AI chatbots. Also LLMs are fantastic misinformation machines. And we have automated arts, arguably the most “human” thing we can do, and put many artists out of work in doing so.
Whether the lack of safety guards is because of government incompetence, corruption, or is inherent to free-market capitalism, I’m not sure. Probably all of those reasons.
In summary, I disagree with you. I think companies training AI with unauthorized material are at fault. And personally, I think the entire AI industry as it exists currently is unethical.
I read in the comments of your previous snapshot post that the Wayland default had some issues with cursor theming… perhaps that’s why it’s reverted? Odd either way.
Nice! I have seen some people who make and sell content on Mastodon— I appreciate those who do that, imo they are able to help fill a hole or just benefit the lives of people who are seeking that content or services/interactions. I hope they’re able to do it safely, seeing as how they probably have to move off-platform for many things, including payment… and with how payment processors treat any adult related transactions…
Unfortunately, that also means that there’s probably not a direct fedi alternative for OF— in my experience (more info below) and from my research, it’s pretty much the default for large creators to rely on paid actors impersonating them for messaging and interacting. Also OF takes care of the payment details, which idk of any fedi platforms doing.
Anecdote: I got lured into an OF a while ago on a local meetup/dating/rp discord servers. I thought I was smarter than that, but weeks of talking and trusting someone, them slowly eroding boundaries and using emotional manipulation… it’s really powerful, unfortunately.
Anyways that OF page was 100% designed to milk people. A “$3 first month” followed by a recurring “$45” regular price if you don’t cancel should’ve been a red flag. And only softcore posts once you subscribe, but as you talk to the actor in messages, they send more intimate images, but with a paywall. They wouldn’t talk to me anymore if I didn’t pay. It starts at $10, but the next was $30. That’s when I refused. It hurt though, I felt like I knew the person. The whole time they’re pushing this “if you don’t buy it you don’t love me, you don’t want to support me, omg I need grocery money” idea.
I know not all creators use it for that. But the platform certainly enables it with its design and features. I just think a massive portion of the adult industry is founded on exploitation, unfortunately.
You’re strawmanning their comment— I’d imagine they’d have the same, if not more, issues with snap.
Flatpak doesn’t integrate well with all systems. For me personally, on Arch, I have to update and store Flatpak versions of some dependencies, like proprietary Nvidia drivers, separately from the rest of my system and its package management system. And it does take up some space to store the runtime too.
Also Flatpaks may require some extra set up and/or workarounds due to their sandboxed environment. That’s not inherently bad and has some big security upsides, but it’s a consideration.
Also I don’t know how well it plays with immutable distros, but I’d imagine there may be similar integration issues there, too.
It’s still probably a lot easier for devs to have a consistent distribution format though, and they are typically more secure, so I’m not saying there’s not merits to only providing a Flatpak. Just pointing out that your reply here was misguided, imo.
Fediverse priority #1: Be able to talk to a paid actor pretending to be a model* Priority #2: Spend money to see the nudes they send in DMs
*for major creators, I’m sure many minor/independent ones are genuine
Maybe OP knew all along that they wanted to use the previous package list to upgrade and fetch the new one after! Maybe we’re all actually inverting it…
(I’m just being silly, I recognize that an old package list would probably cause issues with installing or upgrading packages.)
Might be meta commentary; the ai generated portion is the Firefox part, which is the “side” pushing AI
