Where I live there are already a few coop/consignment stores with a online store front. I wonder how hard a warehouse/fufilement coop.

Engineering and quality samples float around sometimes which makes them more reasonable prices too. They have minor defects sometimes but I’ve never had an issue yet that matter

https://github.com/vosen/ZLUDA I’ve heard is doing pretty well

I used to say I’m a libertarian socialist, which means that I liked arguing semantics about what I believe online all day

I would. Even just the comment you left here impact my world in a positive way. You probally work too (visable or invisible labor). Your existence, your voice creates space for others.

But that is in sharp contrast to have been told people are just wicked and evil all day and that people just take from the deserving and give nothing back.

Just had this discussions on Christmas. Jesuses teachings are pretty explicit that followers are supposed to be charitable and compassionate and give freely and help those they can. Talking to some conservative Christian about it they said they were finding it very hard not to be cynical and see every case of charity as just fraud.

To the point where not imprisoning people for trying to move somewhere for work is something they really consider charity.

It’s a sharp contradiction to me

Tbh Ive had some joy using K8Gpt and I’m kind of excited to try Liz for my Rancher stuff.

To me though, RAG AI is good as a semantic search at the moment but you really should check with your own eyes and not assume the convincing string machine has any actual understanding about what it is saying.

Does help though when your eyes are bleeding and your troubleshooting something youre just not sure where to look.

The funny thing from what I’ve read the got the alot of raw audio files too so the people torrent probably are getting higher quality versions then what Spotify transcodes too

Supreme Court outlaws clothes. What criminal acts are hiding in those robs? Only the guilty would hide it

I don’t like that this was removed, but it is very ironic for a AI summary about AI hype fueling a RAM shortage. It was at least properaly labeled and attributes and an open source model.

To be fair. SELINUX always seems like THE answer with flexibility it provides with App armor being just SELINUX light…

It would make more sense to me to have better support for leveraging SELINUX primatives to accomplish the same things. I at least, don’t know of any LSM features that can’t be covered user:role:type:security level:catagorey and namespaces?

The issue is always that info is hard to know sometimes and programers can barely stop ourselves from running as root with all files in 777 mode let alone conceptualize those other attributes for files and services

Right. There is probably a certain point where other hardware support is just a happy accident or miniscule effort. Its just there yet for them though it is getting close!

Why should they do it again?

The rapid growth model only makes sense for people looking for investors and the promise to snag a customer base once their hooked.

Value has a lot to lose but mostly margins to gain.

Listen I’m for keeping them pushing towards ethical contributions to the ecosystem, but I also entirely understand them not doing so just for charities sake alone.

Fair on the release part lol. I didn’t know that, but I guess the ignore part is still an issue since people want them to get it to work with other hardware out of scope, or worse Nvidia

Project scope. It makes more sense for them to make a distro that solves currently unsolved spaces directly related to their market (merging PC with handhelds, consoles, and VR). More scope either means more hours or more spread of the existing hours accros the added work.

They have been contributing alot back to upstream which does help Linux gaming in general alot.

You want them to release SteamOS and ignore all user feedback except for Steam hardware some how? Otherwise that’s all cost. Or significant brand risk.

Tbh I’m not sure what the conversion rate to sales actually would be. The numbers of sold games on the steam machine vs the average machines rates will be a better indicator of that IMHO. The Steamdeck is biased in that showing the form factor support is also an important point for games on the deck.

I would rather them keep investing in the ecosystem then try to rush for growth and have to enshitify to keep it.

Largely people pay for games regardless. From Steams perspective investing the store profits into Linux gaming is a market risk reducer and a cost center for producing viable hardware platforms.

Its not a revenue stream at the moment. If a million more people started running it tommorow on non-steam hardware and didn’t adjust the game buying habits, it would be a net loss for Value, as their support costs would rise with no increase in revenue.

The best case for them is that it acts as a conduit for good PR, and user generated content for the platform (i.e. mods, apps, and of course FOSS merge requests).

Sweet! Great place showing off the projects and companies that are truely working towards respects your freedom type of computing!

I would add Oxide to the server list they are definitely in this space

Not the IP but hope this git link helps: https://gitlab.com/here_forawhile/nanogram.git

Tar ball link if that is better for you: https://gitlab.com/here_forawhile/nanogram/-/archive/main/nanogram-main.tar.gz?ref_type=heads

Was macos at work, now Linux dev machine. Its a big up.

To be honest, all those are web apps now shrug. Zoom, slack, teams, docs, sheets, <insert word named app here>, all open in the browser. So IDC what the OS is for them. Linux Zero-Touch deployments are still in progress IMHO so I get why they arent here yet for a lot offices, but we are closer now than ever (thanks atomic OSs!).
