Third parties in the US are unserious. I wish that weren’t the case but that’s the reality.

They’re not expecting any one person to implement the whole thing.

Hahaha, tell that to leadership! 😩

I’ve not tried GPT4ALL but Ollama combined with Open WebUI is really great for selfhosted LLMs and can run with podman. I’m running Bazzite too and this is what I do.

I see there is an m.2 slot too with what looks to be a Kingston SSD.

I’m still confused what era this laptop is from. It might be a SATA m.2.

I got a pizza steel and it’s been a game changer. Now I make full sized pizzas at home and they are delicious.

Wayland was subject to “first mover disadvantage” for a long time. Why be the first to switch and have to solve all the problems? Instead be last and everyone else will do the hard work for you.

But without big players moving to it those issues never get fixed. And users rightly should not be forced to migrate to a broken system that isn’t ready. People just want a system that works right?

Eventually someone had to decide it was ‘good enough’ and try an industry wide push to move away from a hybrid approach that wastes developer time and confuses users.

Back in the day people paid for ringtones, wallpapers, etc. Dumbest thing ever were ‘ringbacks’ where you paid to have a song or something play when people called you. So the people buying it didn’t even hear it, they just forced other people to listen to a shitty low fidelity garbled mess of a song they liked while you waited for them to pick up the phone.

It’s kind of a paradox when you think about it. Good reviewers are often just regular people with a passion for tech but as they become more popular and prolific they become part of the industry itself. Once that happens even if they try to stay objective and critical their perspective is so different from regular people that reviews are just part of the sales and marketing strategy rather than pro tips from an enthusiast.

My career as a sysadmin consistently has me veering toward security and compliance and my brain is absolutely fried on trying to figure out what these huge docs actually mean, how they apply to the things I’m responsible for and what we’re supposed to do about it.

Props to all the folks that can do it without losing their mind.

Feels like this would be a bigger win for them than a lot of other companies. The people interested in privacy focused alternative to the Google/Microsoft/Apple offerings probably have a lot of overlap with Linux users.

Their mom’s basement, most likely.

As a sysadmin there are few things that give me more problems than unbounded growth and timezones.

Can someone please validate my decision to pay $23 a year for this dumb corndog.social domain just so I had something fun for my Lemmy instance.

Nihilism is for suckers. I’m going to make the world a better place and have some fun along the way too.

He should have listened to that one-boobed chick.

I use slang ironically until I can’t stop. It’s lit fam.

I’ve had exactly this happen to me. It was my own fault but it took a bit of work figure out.

Herobrine or some sort of “Evil Steve” version seemed obvious to me.

Every country in the world belongs to America Chicago.
