Pretty sure everybody is missing the joke. The joke is that Debian packages are so stable and stale that you likely will need a reboot before an update.

Also, it’s a joke…please patch your boxes, k?

Hey get out of my head

Your brain runs on ChatGPT now. Better start eating a diet of NVidia GPUs.

God dammit iFixIt WHY? I liked you.

Sluggish UI? I’ve never had issues with the UI being sluggish … Steam Chat always just works for me in the Steam client.

I set mine up with HAProxy for TLS offloading and ACME for the server cert. Restrict your access to just your country/region by GeoIP and you are pretty good to go.

Mint is based on Ubuntu LTS. The packages aren’t THAT out of date. Most people don’t give a shit if they’re running the bleeding edge of kernels or what version of mesa is installed. If it works with their hardware, they’re good.

That’s an interesting way of looking at things, but generally measurement standards are agreed upon. Regardless of whether they can change, that doesn’t negate their usefulness in measuring things now.

Yeah that’s the annoying thing. Generative AI is actually really useful…in SPECIFIC situations. Discovering new battery tech, new medicines, etc. are all good use cases because it’s basically a parrot and blender combined and most of these things are rehashes if existing technologies in new and novel ways.

It is not a fucking good solution for a search engine replacement to ask “Why do farts smell?”. It uses way too much energy for that and it hallucinates bullshit.

As a fellow Linux enjoyer: Yup

How is a physical measurement that is universally agreed upon “arbitrary”?

Microsoft: “What was that? You want CoPilot integrated so it can search through your files for data mining…I mean helping you find stuff?”

Until Plebbit fixes how god awful slow it is, I won’t be interested in it. Lemmy is decentralized enough for me.

Congrats. You just burned down 4 trees in the rainforest for every article you had an LLM analyze.

LLMs can be incredibly useful, but everybody forgets how much of an environmental nightmare this shit is.

Women’s and Children’s pants sizes. It’s an 11 WHAT? THE FUCK DOES THIS NUMBER MEAN GODDAMMIT?

All pants sizes should be Waist circumference, Hip circumference, and (in the case of pants versus shorts) Length to ankle. Objective and not subjective measurements. Something I can put a measuring tape to and confirm. It’s not perfect, as everybody is different, but at least I’m not trying to dress my children and remember “A size 12 in this brand is a size 10 in this brand” bullshit.

I nearly foamed at the mouth ranting about how this shit drives me insane.

What the headline doesn’t say: It tested nearly double as slow as Windows 10’s File Explorer with this RAM usage increase.

Windows is getting worse. Not better.

Yes it’ll show up in the Flatpak category.

My understanding is that Steam has nearly or completely removed the old 32 bit dependencies recently.

Lol you know it is.

I’m curious… What problems are you referring to?
