So it looks like protonmail is actually legit then

Further TL;DR

In preparation for an IPO:

Reddit: you must now only use our app to prop up our add revenue. No third party apps (unless you pay us handsomely)

Everyone: no thanks, just make our own alternative

Snap is a sandboxed environment to install applications in.

Flatpak is a more portable implementation of the same broad idea, it downloads a chroot and runs applications from within using a separate program called bubblewrap (one could, in theory, use chroot to run apps from within the downloaded flatpak images, bubblewrap offers further isolation through things like namespaces and cgroups etc. )

Snap, unlike flatpak, is a Canonical specific implementation that has a reputation for breaking a lot of things.

PL can have a large impact on features, bugs, bug reports, troubleshooting, performance and documentation. Particularly when dev resources are limited.

It’s hard to see how this opinion holds any water.

Rust is a great choice for a shell built as an interactive shell that doesn’t have to be core to the OS. Over C++ this also makes development more accessible to young programmers.

Steroid use does not make someone evil. Not even absurd dosages. Drug use does not make someone evil.

It’s unfair to lump a whole cast of perfectly reasonable people into the same lot as this awful person.

There is a US police problem AND they tend to use PEDs, that isn’t causation. Even if correlation can provide evidence of causation, it’s much simpler to conclude that many cops are insecure and seek out PEDS. That’s ok, relatively speaking, I don’t care about drug use, it’s murder that upsets me.

So Ubuntu, Ubuntu and unstable arch… here let me have a go:

1. Fedora
2. Tumbleweed
3. Endeavour OS

• easy install arch with extra repos, zfs and and dracut

1. Bonus for the curious

• void
• Redcore Gentoo

I have no clue how dangerous running Firefox as root is, but it begs the question…why would you do that?

Create a user account for managing things and create a separate user for each service and/or containers.

For managing things use tmux with ssh, if you want to manage files etc. just use ranger/lf/mc. One can also mount the file system with sshfs.

These comments often indicate a lack of understanding about ai.

Ml algorithms have been in use for nearly 50 years. They certainly become much more common since about 2012, particularly with the development of CUDA, It’s not just some new trend or buzz word.

Rather, what we starting to see are the fruits of our labour. There are so many really hard problems that just cannot be solved with deductive reasoning.

It’s much the same where I come from.

The high quality institutions have Linux in their labs (either a separate lab or dual boot) and a server with say access for training ML models etc.

The dodgy ones have only Windows with no software and require students to buy a second laptop and install Linux. If they don’t the students fail. Those tests were done in handwriting but they are still an accredited university :(

Is there a way to join a self hosted instance that isn’t federated?

My friends and I have a small Lemmy at my place with WireGuard. No ssl though.

Translation is very different from generation.

As a matter of fact, even AI generation has different grades of quality.

SEO garbage is certainly not the same as an article with AI generated components and very different from a translated article.

The mistral-7b is a good compromise of speed and intelligence. Grab it in a GPTQ 4bit.

Am I mistaken in believing it is an already a browser option?

Off the top of my head Qutebrowser and Falkon both support not-saving 3rd party cookies.

Framework and ThinkPad have both been a really positive experience.

The manual is OK, much of it’s out dated and often outright wrong. It is still a great document.

Edits to the wiki are often knocked back if they weren’t made by the inner circle, discussions on the back page are often closed and frankly the TUs are mostly wankers. The forum policy on necro-bumping leaves half answers everywhere but the notion of “put it in the wiki” is undermined by the toxic community among inner party members.

Arch is a great middle ground between Fedora and Gentoo, but I had to walk away because the community was so toxic and childish.

I’m using void and Gentoo now and I’m pretty happy, anything that doesn’t run works in a container anyway.

TL;DR: community behaviour is much more important to me than technical use.

Well to clarify the two big differences here are that the exe is pre compiled and maybe dynamic libraries.

Heavy tech stacks do suck though

I enjoyed arch for how straight forward the install was.

Gentoo however, every time I do that from scratch it’s with X, Westland is NetworkManager that give up (my recommendation is oddlamma installer)

Foss I suspect.

I avoid obsidian for the same reason, instead I use org mode and MediaWiki (see also dokuwiki)

It’s worth noting that OP simply used the article title.

The article title is a little biased, individuals must take greater personal responsibility.

It’s great but still really unstable. I’ll be sticking with Sway / DWM for a bit longer.

However, it looks promising.
