Switching costs. It’s the same reason people keep using Facebook and X despite the fact both are widely hated.

If Linux was the dominant OS preinstalled on the majority of computers almost nobody would make the effort to install Windows.

You sure you didn’t just eat a regular Krusty O?

No, no dig up stupid!

It’s called Llama and it’s one of the more prominent open source LLMs. So it’s got that going for it at least.

The container was rebuilt a couple of years ago and I don’t think it has any significant limitations now. There are examples using mariadb (which I’m using) and I don’t see why PostgreSQL wouldn’t be configurable in the same way.

A server in a friend/family member’s home. All of the cloud based backups I’ve encountered seem either unaffordable or have annoying limitations.

See the Congestion Pricing Tracker for day by day measurements of the impact on congestion.

I get the vibe of what you’re saying but SteamOS is only slightly less customisable than other distributions and so it’s pretty much a more stable, fully featured distribution in the end. With plenty of opportunity to learn and tinker.

So it could be a bit of a gateway drug to a less passive mindset but well see.

Social sciences are important even if finding truth is messier and happens over a longer period.

In any case, misinformation is often not something that can argued as just a difference of opinion. There are obvious cases like outright lies about the occurrence of events such as “immigrants eating pets en masse” or “the bowling green massacre”, or that the “greenhouse warming effect” doesn’t exist.

Fact checking doesn’t have to be outright removal either, it just needs a critical analysis of the facts, and people can make up their own minds.

He gave his name, job title, and the company he works for. That seems like enough to be doxxing.

Instead you’re going to get an extreme right-wing conservative that will make life objectively worse, as they always do.

And you can self-host kiwix and use the compressed zim files available here.

This stuff was happening even in the early days of Facebook let alone now so I get it.

That touchpad is tiny so I’m not sure how useful it will be (probably just for cursor usage on desktop). Good to see 120hz and hopefully with VRR support.

Seems that ootb Linux support is a few months after initial release.

The problem is that people are vulnerable to disinformation and now there is little to no pushback on these platforms.

In a world where people are expert critical thinkers with no biases and perfect rationality it wouldn’t matter, but that isn’t how people work in the slightest.

Vega cards had HBM as well, for better or worse.

As a beginner? Sure, but having played the HL2 VR mod you get used to it, and it has left me wishing Alyx was a bit more challenging.

I’m fine with that, especially if the Deckard is reasonably priced and has first-class Linux support.

Thinking about setting up a NixOS or Guix firewall/router. I like OpenWRT but upgrades are a bit annoying, although should improve with the new packaging system.

The idea of having a single config file I can deploy on new hardware almost immediately is very appealing, however.
