Honestly I didn’t look at the community, but it shouldn’t matter since criticism should be embraced when it’s made in good faith. Also I don’t care if I get down voted.

Some Nintendo fans just want to buy Nintendo things and enjoy the experience because they love the games.

I agree 100%. And I like these games too. I’m just saying that it’s the games and not the console which is the actual thing that these users love and enjoy.

I doubt users enjoy buying new consoles every few years, dealing with supply chain issues, privacy issues, and contributing to our throw away society.

I used to game on consoles too till my Xbox 360 got a red ring of death, my PS2 just stopped working, and my gamecube stopped reading disks. I realized that I could do nothing to fix them, they had to be recycled, and I would have to replace them with something else. Around the same time I realized how much I can do with a PC. From work, to watching movies, listening to music, and yes even gaming. But the cherry on top was how easy they were to upgrade, change parts, and fix.

I’m not saying that Nintendo shouldn’t be involved in how their games run. But I am saying there really should be other options. Even Sony release games on PC.

I already have upgraded hardware that can run switch games. It’s called a computer. I built it mostly using parts being sold at offices that were going out of business. I only needed to buy a GPU and a decent PSU. I found a free open source OS, booted it up and installed an open source program called ryujinx. And I barely have any issues playing games on it.

Imagine if Nintendo, instead of wasting all this time, money, rare earth minerals, and contributing to global heating by manufacturing these rather pointless consoles, simply developed games that could be ran on a computer or decently powerful smart phone.

They could focus on making games.

I love freetube for my android and Linux PCs.

If someone is complaining about windows, or raising privacy concerns that Linux would solve, or just talking about price options, then I think it’s perfectly fair to mention Linux.

Right now the biggest issue with Linux is that some software is not made for it. With more Linux market share, devs have a higher incentive to build software for Linux. Like imagine if videogame devs didn’t think they needed windows to work, or Mac to run adobe.

I agree…I Linux game in Arch btw.

Ehh, it’s not like Linux is perfect. And if we want more Linux adoption it’s good to have different perspectives and be made aware of things that perhaps we haven’t thought of. It could be useful to vent about Linux through memes if we can have proper discourse and are willing to work collaboratively to solve issues.

A lot of paper food storage products are coated with pfas. I’m not sure if tea bags are but it’s a possibility.

You know, you can be critical of a government without using racist slurs against the people from that country. Not everyone from China is part of the CCP.

I’m talking about not needing anything installed on the server though. Like you don’t need sudo. If the server has ssh then you can use Emacs to edit a file on it

I used to think this way. Until I found that with emacs you can edit any file on an SSH enabled computer remotely. Meaning that not only are you no longer constrained by what the computer has installed. But you can use your personality configured editor while editing that file. It’s called tramp.

BTW, with Emacs you can use vim key bindings evil-mode, so don’t stress about that.

UH OH HOT DOG!

Great, a whole new form factor and OS to spend hours months getting to work with my emacs config.

Text to speech (TTS) has come a long way, even open source projects.

I’ve recently been using TTS to read pdfs to me while I do yardwork and its not super easy to tell just by the voice that its not a human. Biggest issue seems to be with math formulas.

In a year it will be hard to tell the difference unless they read something that a human would have skipped.

I love kagi but I don’t think it actively filters out ai generated content.

I know when searching for pictures you can disable AI generated images.

I think the hard part for a search engine is that unless there is some kind of identifying mark on the content, how do they know that an ai didn’t write a top 10 list of pastebin alternatives?

You are right that something that most others will host for free are going to be censored since otherwise they might have some kind of responsibility legally. I learned this while trying to diagnose an issue with my cars door lock.

At the end of the day, anything you ask some hosted llm is being recorded so if you actually want something uncensored or something that gives you a sense of freedom then the only real option is to self host.

Luckily, it’s very simple and can even be done on a low spec device if you pick the right model. The amount and type of ram you have a will dictate how many parameters you can run at a decent speed.

Here’s 3 options with increasing difficulty (not much however) written for Arch Linux: https://infosec.pub/comment/13623228

I mean, there’s plenty of reasons that someone might want to use something else.

Maybe they just want a linux package to work on android. Also I don’t really like how maid asks for nearby device permissions.

Is it possibly a pathing issue?

PS: I’m pretty interested in what you’re trying to do with ollama on android.

Interesting, I haven’t had that experience much myself. It might be a bad port to Linux?

I wonder if there is a launch option that you could set that would help? It might also depend on your GPU and drivers. But to your point, it’s much less hassel to just tell steam to use proton and not have those issues.

While I agree that proton on its own doesn’t make gaming on Linux a “first class experience”, it does sometimes perform better than the original native “first class” Windows OS that the game was originally intended to be played on. Which is just funny, but also shows all the work that has gone into proton.

Game devs need more Linux players before they make major industry wide changes, but proton makes those numbers have a chance of increasing by making the games playable on Linux.

Another reason why I wouldn’t call gaming on Linux a “first class experience” yet is controller and input driver issues. Which can be worked around like if I open a game I bought on gog through steam and use the steam input methods but I shouldn’t have to use steam to play a gog game with a controller.
