Haven’t tested it but it seems so. Android client has the button too

What about Element/Matrix?

I got that reference!

It was a great adventure. But yeah, that setup was on 24/7. Not because of compilation, but it definitely made a lot of this more feasible

Gentoo unstable was a little bit tiring in the long run. The bleeding edge, but often I needed to downgrade because the rest of the libraries were not ready

Gentoo stable was really great. Back then pulseaudio was quite buggy. Having a system where I could tell all applications and libraries to not even link to it (so no need to have it installed at all) made avoiding its problems really easy
But when my hardware got older and compilation of libreoffice started to take 4h, I remembered how nice it was on Slackware where you just install package you broke and you’re done

Arch looked like a nice middle-ground. Most of the things in packages, big focus on pure Linux configurability (pure /etc files, no Ubuntu(or SUSE?) “you need working X.org to open distro-specific graphics card settings”) and AUR for things there are no official packages for. Turned out it was a match :)

Windows (~6 years) -> Mandriva (Mandrake? For I think 2-3 years) -> Ubuntu (1 day) -> Suse (2 days) -> Slackware (2-3 years) -> Gentoo unstable (2-3 years) -> Gentoo stable (2-3 years) -> Arch (9 years and counting)

The only span I’m sure about is the last one. When I started a job I decided I don’t have the time to compile the world anymore. But the values after Windows sum up to 21, should be 20, so it’s all more or less correct

If you want to access your computer from outside your LAN, it would be a good idea to at least secure it or, unfortunately the best, learn to understand what you are doing

Coming back to the topic, though, I’d start with checking these out

Yes, I can. But you need much more to accomplish this

1. You need reach: are there any mods/admins that would feel ok with vouching for your abilities? And preferably have info about your proposal stickied on a bunch of communities where it could reach people open to chip in?
2. You need to convince those you reach that you’re not a Nigerian Prince. Mod/Admin saying you’re legit could help with it but maybe there’s something more you could do to convince the public?
   Maybe I simply don’t know who you are, maybe in reality you are second in command after Dessalines. But either you are a random dev saying “I can do that” - in this case you need to somehow convince others that you really can. Or you are not recognised for your work - in this case you need to point us to what tie you to. I saw the fedi project on your GitHub so you probably can code (I’m not going to be auditing your project in order to asses your skills, sorry). But are you just a dreamer or are you serious?
   I’m sorry if what I’m saying sounds harsh. I just feel that how you are coming through to the other side gets lost in translation here
3. GitHub is not the most popular support medium. Why not also have Patreon/Koffi/OpenCollective/etc? Many will chip in easier if they’re already present on the platform

There are other communities too

Maybe I’m going to do something, maybe I’m not. Why the demanding tone?

I also think that grassroots economy would work better for many things. But we’re not there, the world doesn’t work like that ATM. Wish for 10% of people to contribute is very optimistic IMO.
You need much wider spread, and for me (for example) your tool is the only thing that gives you any credibility. If there are others like me, you might be missing clout for a call to support like that to simply just work

24h for people to react to a comment in some post?

I think you under-advertised your proposal

brb, soup

I don’t use flatpak but I didn’t have to configure Lutris or Steam in any way for that.

If you look around goverlay you’ll find that there are two ENVs that you can set up in X/wayland service to have MangoHud automatically in every context it can render in.

So first try running with MANGOHUD=1 env exported. If that doesn’t help, try mangohud steam.
If I understand correctly, flatpack run in some kind of container, so it’s possible that you might need to set the env or the command, so it happens inside the container

But machine will not do the creative part. It can only fill in the time-sinks around our creative ideas. Ask an LLM to tell you a joke no-one has ever heard before and then google it. The creative part still has to come from humans

EDIT; and the truth is that we very rarely come up with something creative. We mostly just recompile previously met combinations

trying to weasel out of putting some effort into something that sounds worth putting some effort into

But that depends what do they need it for

Personally I don’t see a difference between legalese boilerplate and 10k word story. But that discussion might lead us nowhere

What about text creation have you learned

In many cases I don’t want nor need to learn that. I just need volume about the key points

Why an LLM is any different?

Let’s say I want my RPG players to find a corporate mail that gives them some plot info. Why not ask an LLM to write the boilerplate around the info I want to give them? Just as example

Let’s not put any effort into anything: the machine will do it for me

So you are not using a calculator, I presume? Only math done on abacus is not being lazy?

If you want something local and open source, I think your main problem will be the number of parameters (the b thing). ChatGPT-3 is (was?) noticeably big and open source models are usually smaller. There is, of course, an exchange about how much the size of the model matters and how the quality of the training data affects the results. But when I did a non-scientific comparison ~half a year ago, there was a noticeable difference between smaller models and bigger ones.

Having said all of that, check out https://huggingface.co/ it aims to be like GitHub for AIs. Most of the models are more or less open source, you will only need to figure out how to run one and if you have some bottlenecks on PI

1. no rolling-release: around once half a year you have to reinstall the system because it can’t update some core library to a more recent version. And it’s only the distro’s limitation because rolling releases have no issue with it
2. you can’t just define a package of your own. So if a piece of software is not in packages, you need to compile and install it manually without packager managing it. It tends to break in the long term and when the software suddenly becomes packaged
3. deb-hell: if you come to the idea to solve the first problem by compiling your own package, the packager will give you hell for that. And compiling your own deb with bumped up version is no easy task. Which means that when your version of the system goes out of life, you have to reinstall. Pray that you thought about this before and put /home and /etc on separate partitions
4. package dependencies are too baked in or stability is too high priority. Even if your issue got resolved recently, it will take a long time for an updated package to appear. And you can’t roll your own in the meantime (see 2, or even worse 1)

My mom and grandma are using Manjaro. With grandma I’m the only one doing the updates of course, but with mom she usually can do it herself just using pamac-tray. If that fails a phonecall is usually sufficient. Once in a few years I have to come and do something by myself

And when that happens I work with a distro that just works, instead of some broken crap
EDIT: I tried having Mint on their computers. Big mistake, it’s as broken as Debian and Ubuntu

EDIT: Xfce is very nice in such cases. It looks familiar for them while being manageable for me
