Stop all the hate for nuclear. It’s just a way for the fossil fuel industry to cause infighting among those of us who care about the climate. If we can make energy free or close to it, we should. The closer everything comes to being free the better.

I love AwesomeWM as a window manager. It’s pretty easy, even for a complete beginner. I highly recommend.
As an editor, much of my job–in fact, most of my job–involves reviewing PDFs with Acrobat Pro and marking them up with the markup tools.
interesting. I wonder whether that’s specific to the mobile hardware. I have a 3080 running just fine on Mint.
Or, please, trains.
There is an essentially immeasurable difference between support for anarchy and support for coercive power structures. Marxist-Leninists hope to exchange one coercive power structure for another. It is little different from the imperialism it would hope to supplant. Piracy belongs to anarchy, not Marxism.
unfortunately, my system seems to need to compile the shaders before I start the game if it’s the first time I’ve started the game that steam session.
It isn’t native, but it works very well. It uses Vulkan.
Steam Deck is changing PC gaming. The better Steam Deck gets, the better gaming on Linux becomes. There are dozens of us.
I have an Nvidia GPU and have had no problem playing BG3 or Diablo IV, for instance. Nvidia drivers are a lot better than they used to be, at least by my estimation.
Right. So, I don’t get why it should matter where, exactly, the bar of soap goes.
Tencent, the owner of WeChat, is likely the most powerful software company in the world. It’s essentially an extension of the Chinese government.
edit: Discussing its economics might be a bit contentious, to say the least. Suffice it to say that I will never run anything they own on my primary OS (LoL, Valorant, etc.). A government-controlled company installing software that demands kernel-level access is a huge red flag for me.
Isn’t the soap that touches the body ablated by friction with the skin?
I like Flatpak for what it is. It’s great. But I wish that the application IDs weren’t so long.
It does. I am disappointed in the game studios who refuse to allow Linux players, though, such as Bungie. I’m certain that Destiny would be playable if not for their obstinacy.
I switched to Firefox when I switched to Linux. It’s great. I remember when firefox/mozilla was the go-to browser. It could be again.
Let’s remove the context of AI altogether.
Say, for instance, you were to check out and read a book from a free public library. You then go on to use some of the book’s content as the basis of your opinions. More, you also absorb some of the common language structures used in that book and unwittingly use them on your own when you speak or write.
Are you infringing on copyright by adopting the book’s views and using some of the sentence structures its author employed? At what point can we say that an author owns the language in their work? Who owns language, in general?
Assuming that a GPT model cannot regurgitate verbatim the contents of its training dataset, how is copyright applicable to it?
Edit: I also would imagine that if we were discussing an open source LLM instead of GPT-4 or GPT-3.5, sentiment here would be different. And more, I imagine that some of the ire here stems from a misunderstanding of how transformer models are trained and how they function.
Thank you. I appreciate your perspective. Using Linux again has been like a breath of fresh air, honestly. I just love how fast everything is. (Both my Windows and Mint boots live on their own M.2 drives, but Mint is so, so much faster.) And, unlike Windows, I don’t feel like I have to jerry rig it to get things to work. I’m sure there are instances where that is the case, but I haven’t run into them yet.
I want to talk about trains.
