I've been saying something similar for years: Consoles going online was the worst thing to ever happen to them. Their selling point used to be that you'd put in a cartridge/disc, and it would "just work". Now it has all the downsides of PC gaming, with none of the upsides.
The U.S. Supreme Court has denied a request for a stay from four current or former Seattle police officers seeking to prevent SPD from disclosing their names and other records.
The officers were investigated for attending President Donald Trump’s "Stop the Steal" rally on Jan. 6, 2021, that led to an armed insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Oh man, I loved the simplicity of FreeBSD. I was actually running it for a bit on my homelab. It was so nice and straightforward, wich suuuuuuch good documentation.
Totally agree. For some reason we have an aversion to learning from those that came before us. We have to learn the hard way and keep reinventing the wheel, often in worse ways. This post made me laugh because it is so accurate: https://feddit.online/post/929088
I think things are getting better. I'm not going to lie and tell you that it's no longer a problem, but I think you can do a lot more with a little patience. I know there's a lot of different implementations, so you might need to experiment as well. Good luck!
Agreed. Even something like: "Read up more on this here at someurl.com for more info". The assumption that everyone knows how your repo works, as well as the 3 different build-tools that you use, is quite a lot. I feel like a of the instructions are like how you draw an owl: https://kstarr.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/draw-the-owl-300x257.png
audio - Most of the time it works, but there have been plenty of times that after an install, I have to go in and make a handfull of changes to get it working.
"you are using it wrong" developers - Lookin at you, Gnome, Mozilla and Pottering. Yes, you are donating your time, and I appreciate that, but don't be dismissive of people if they bring up valid issues. If you just don't want to fix problems, that's fine, but just be honest about that, instead of blaming the user.
sleep/hibernate - I've never depended on sleep or hibernate to work properly. I gave up on that years ago, and whenever I come back and try it again, I remember why I gave it up.
documentation - As a seasoned linux person, I love man-pages, but they are soooooo obtuse and hard to parse for newbies. I also hate it when the website has mountains of documentation, but they couldn't be bothered to put that into the man-pages.
video/wifi drivers - Yes, I know that this is mostly a problem because of the manufacturers. That doesn't mean it isn't a problem.
unsympathetic users - Just because it works for you, doesn't mean it works for other people. I can't wait for year-of-the-linux-desktop, but it just isn't there yet. As soon as you have to tell a non-tech to open a terminal, the vast majority of them are out. You and I know that 'editing /etc/somedir/somefile and running /usr/sbin/somecommand' is easy, but sooooo many of them don't know what that means, nor will they care. I hear that windows is pretty bad nowadays, but people will often stick with the devil they know.
Fun fact: When you do iptables-save, you have to redirect the output if you want to save it to a file. But when you use iptables-restore, you don't need to pipe it back in, you can just use the filename!
I've been self-hosting my own AI stuff for a bit using Ollama. I use it to create images, design a tattoo, run a chatbot, write emails, write code and commit-messages, run a D&D game, explain concepts that I'm not familiar with, translate languages, etc.
I've been toying with different models, and I'm not sure that I have one that I would say is a goto. I am liking Ollama to be able to easily pull in and test new LLMs, as well as Stable-Diffusion for image generation/modification.
I quoted your claim that Democrats are backing down when they have no power.
But you are wrong, because tacos are indeed tasty.
I quoted your claim Biden was drilling more when actual data shows he was better than every other president.
That's not true, it's french, not english.
I quoted your claim that Democrats are moving farther right when in every policy they have moved farther left over the past 50 years.
But it's up, not down, so you are wrong.
This was my last attempt to help you get it, but I'm doubtful it will help. Just because you quoted me doesn't mean that you responded to the things I said.
I only buy digital, since I don't like having a lot of "stuff" around. GOG is my goto, since I can just back them up to my server. I only tolerate Steam for special purchases that aren't offered on GOG, probably ~2 games a year.
Corporate profits and control of speech, obviously!
