No I host the 70b version because I’m limited by my RAM.

I self host Deepseek R1 and it’s been pretty helpful with simple Linux troubleshooting, generating bash commands, and even programming troubleshooting. The thinking feature is pretty cool and I do find myself learning stuff from it.

What took it from gimmick to actual nice to have for me is when my jerry rigged home network broke and wouldn’t connect to the internet. Having what is entially an interactive StackOverflow/ServerFault running on a local machine was really helpful.

Running the model locally makes it easier to not overly rely on AI because of the limited token rate.

One of the people pushing the idea that gun violence is okay, actually. So by his own logic no one should feel bad for him.

I mean, which one did you learn in math class? Not saying it’s better, but it’s way more common.

Anti natalism right now is pro long term human survival.

There are too many humans on Earth. There are two ways to get the human population down to a point where we can sustainably live here. You can either exterminate most the existing humans or prevent new humans from existing in the first place. Which would you choose?

"Oh but that will trigger a demographic crisis when tbere’s too many old people and too few young people!” OK? That’s a temporary problem compared to the very very permanent problem of extinction. Which we’re on track to doing of we keep living like this. And most of the issues of a demographic crisis has to do with recession and pensions, both unique to capitalism. The solution is to get rid of capitalism, not shame people into having more kids to keep the capitalist machine alive.

Tell them about this hellhole we live in and most would choose no.

If I lived in Japan with its perfect transit schedule, maybe. But in Vancouver the transit is so unreliable literally any advance schedule is useless especially if you need to have any type of connection on your route.

I mean, they never meant it in the first place. They just feel comfortable saying that now that aNtI wOkE is cool.

If this happens I hope the balkanization will be along Indigenous territories as part of decolonization efforts and not modern states or provinces.

They don’t exist, at least not in Western mainstream music. Record labels have learned from those artists and will now drop anyone who doesn’t toe the capitalist/imperialist line. Like the singers being cancelled for supporting BLM or Palestine.

And it’s very specifically just for leftist messages. Kanye straight up calls himself a Nazi and sold shirts with swastikas on it and didn’t get canceled for antisemitism, but tons of pro-Palestine artists did. If an artist straight up calls themselves a socialist like Tupac did it would be career suicide.

As someone in Gen Z, I have never heard a mainstream song released in my lifetime that actually attacks capitalism beyond useless lip service or calls for any kind of anticapitalist action by the general public. They definitely exist but only by indie artists who will either never get signed onto a label or will be forced to capitulate to the capitalist propaganda machine if they do.

Lab grown meat still requires live animals. You still need to collect stem cells to start a culture and you also need fetal bovine serum (blood plasma from baby cows) to keep the cells healthy.

We currently DO NOT have a way to culture mammalian cells without animal blood plasma. We currently DO NOT have a way of infinitely culturing mammalian biomass from a single cell sample. So lab grown meat still needs animals to be raised in captivity and slaughtered, just fewer. It’s not vegan for that reason and won’t be for the foreseeable future unless massive breakthroughs happen in multiple different fields.

IMO a better path to explore would just be to figure out which exact chemicals give meat their flavour and directly synthesize them from raw materials. Have something like a completely artificial bacon powder you can add to a vegan protein source and completely cut out anything to do with animals. We can make every other scent and flavour artificially, why not meat? And it’s not even that hard, a science YouTuber can do it.

Mobile games that have a cooldown timer when you play too much. Oh you don’t want me to play your game anymore? Cool. Uninstalled.

Tiny Core Linux? I’ve never used it but I’ve seen videos of it running really well on super old machines. Like this one.

I’m Canadian. Sorry comes out of my mouth without thinking.

Actually, sometimes I’ll instinctively say sorry and then say it again when my brain decides it’s actually warrented because I’m worried the first one wasn’t sincere.

Might be to prevent the SD card from running out of write cycles?

Maybe I’m just a young whipper snapper but I don’t get why people would want cartridges when freely copying the files to the main drive is an option since this would only work with DRM-free games. Cartridges were historically used instead of floppy disks or optical disks for DRM as you can make them basically impossible to duplicate. Even now the only reason Nintendo still sells cartridges is to allow the same game to be played in different devices with different logged in accounts while ensuring there is only one copy available between them.

And so with that in mind the basic idea is that you grab DRM free games (from stores like GOG), and pop them onto SD Cards to turn them into cartridges that Kazeta will detect.

So now instead of storing games on the computer itself, you have to go out of your way to put them on individual SD cards?

Also, is it strictly one game per SD card? That would be pretty wasteful of the available space for smaller games.

I noticed a lot of non-technical people using ChimeraOS/SteamOS getting lost in Steam’s complex menu structure and struggling with basic things like launching and closing games

I feel like someone who’s so nontechnical they can’t even figure out Steam’s UI, which is developed by a massive company with dedicated UX engineers and comprehensive QA for all their software, would probably also not be able to figure out installing a Linux OS, especially one that doesn’t boot into a normal GUI by default. It also assumes they will have a dedicated computer just for console style gaming, which nontechnical users probably wouldn’t bother with. Unless they plan on selling devices with their OS preinstalled as dedicated game consoles?

Also, you still have to interact with GOG to get the games. And also be able to find the app data direcrory GOG downloads games to in order to put them onto an SD card.

This also directly contradicts a quote later in the article: “Kazeta is definitely not for everyone. It requires a bit of work to get started”

I became disenchanted with digital storefronts and have come back around to appreciating physical media: game cartridges, CDs, DVDs

I have gotten more and more into collecting old physical games and systems and found them to be a much more pleasant experience than what modern gaming offers

Fair enough if you just want physical media in general, but I feel like people collecting physical media would specifically want ones branded by the company and not generic SD cards.

I have become more and more concerned with preserving my digital game collection for play in the future.

Bur there’s things in between digital storefronts and physical read-only media. Why not just have a special directory on the desktop that autodetects games copied into it? I assume that’s basically what happens when you insert an SD card with a game on it.

If you want to keep games atomic and prevent corruption of the directory structure, why not just support game directories in the form of tar or zip files and automatically mount them as a virtual filesystem?

keeping your games untouched and preserved forever

Don’t flash based storage put your data at risk of corruption if you leave it unpowered for too long? Having the games on the SSD you have powered every day sounds like it would be safer.

Though at least the flash’s write cycle limit wouldn’t matter with read only cards.

Did they hire the guy from GitLab? /s

How a lot of eukaryotic organelles (not just the mitochondria) came from cells eating bacteria and holding onto it instead of digesting it. Cells don’t have consciousness and can’t just “decide” to not digest something because it’s useful to have around, it was probably the digestion mechanism not working properly, which normally would have decreased the cell’s fitness, but in a few rare occurrences the thing it didn’t digest was so useful it greatly increased the cell’s fitness.
