Great hardware, but I can't stand MacOS anymore after switching to Linux on home dekstop. KDE is such a breath of fresh air after years of dealing with Apple's idiosyncrasies.

I think I'll keep my Framework 13 Pro preorder.

Internet is what you make of it. You don't have to algo-flood your brain and then complain about it on the same social network.

While I think that local LLMs are the future, i think these setups are insane. You shouldn't be trying to push the SOTA, most people underestimate how much you can get out of small LLMs.

Why ask FABLE 5000 to "summarize this email thread" when a tiny model can do the job?

Sure Codex3000 can oneshot your backlog, but why not use a subsidized subscription to do it for now? We're clearly not at the peak of these model's capabilities yet.

I tried making one, but I couldn't make through the camera position tracking bit, software was super unintuitive. Very interested in gaming applications for this tech, but still waiting for it to be more approachable from a layman's point of view.

Yeah, but no. Proton is the best thing that happened to Linux gaming, but sometimes it's still not good enough to get full Windows-like experience.

HDR still doesn't work properly, there are no codecs (Atmos, DTS:X) for my surround system, latest nvidia driver broke Microsoft Flight Sim and other games on wayland. The list goes on.

And as for Copilot - I'm sure I'll be able to rip it out, just like the other crap MS forcefully pushes on people.

A CT technian has figured out a way to look inside a TCG booster pack and identify rare cards inside without opening it.

This potentially could change the whole collectable market, since you could fish for expensive rares and dump the "dud" packs back on the market.

They ship a k8s operator that deploys Synapse, will try that later. Supposedly it's free up to 200 users. But it seems like there's 0 documentation past the README.

A reminder of how centralized and dependent the whole industry has become on GH, which is ironic, considering that git itself is designed to be decentralized.

Good opportunity to think about mirroring your repos somewhere else like Gitea or Gitlab.

Actually recognizing people posting is something that i dearly miss. Now you barely even notice the usernames.

Because that wasn't the deal.

Nobody complained when YT was monopolizing online video because it was convenient and free and then they proceed to bait and switch us into paying.

Screw them, I won't pay out of principle.

Because it wasn't the deal when they were consolidating the all online video content into themselves. And then once they've gotten "too big to fail", the greed rolled in.

They bait and switched us.

Youtube killed private video hosting. Reddit killed small thematic php-bb forums.

If people knew that they'd eventually do that, none of these platforms would be as big as they are today.
