I don’t understand, $600M? Is anyone using this browser?

This is actually really funny

XKCD 2501 applies in this thread.

OP, get CasaOS or Yunohost. Very very simple. Your laptop is fine (you’ll probably want to upgrade the ram soon).

Yunohost is great, Portainer is also useful.

idk OP… this is a lot more effort than I put into things idgaf about.

Falling asleep watching TNG or Voyager I can understand, but every moment of DS9 must be savored. You sir are worse than Gul Dukat.

What are you paying for BackBlaze and Cloudflare?

Do you have a source for that? This chart says otherwise:

Windows is only 12% of Microsoft’s revenue, and between Mac, Linux and ChromeOS, it really doesn’t have a monopoly anymore on desktop (about 70%). On top of that, desktop usage in general is decreasing, and is already less than 50% of all web traffic.

What I’m saying is that I think it’s safe to say something else will likely “kill” Windows long before Linux ever becomes a serious threat to it.

That’s great to hear thanks

Can anyone with Bazzite experience tell me how it handles games with third party launchers like EA or Ubisoft? You can’t seem to be able to escape those these days and they are buggy even on Windows so I don’t have high hopes for Linux.

It worries me that there are scientists out there who are making studies based on the assumption that an LLM chat bot is a reasonable stand-in for a human in this context (in any context really but that’s another conversation). It’s just not what LLMs are, it’s not what they are designed to do. They’ve fallen for the marketing.

We address this question using a novel method - generative social simulation - that embeds Large Language Models within Agent-Based Models to create socially rich synthetic platforms. We create a minimal platform where agents can post, repost, and follow others. We find that the resulting following-networks reproduce three well-documented dysfunctions: (1) partisan echo chambers; (2) concentrated influence among a small elite; and (3) the amplification of polarized voices - creating a ‘social media prism’ that distorts political discourse.

1. lmao “generative AI chatbots trained on social media behave like social media users”
2. Shame on ArsTechnica they should be better than to publish a study like this.

Go with Bazzite, it tries to mimic SteamOS out of the box. Very easy install/setup process (easier than windows).

Bazzite is Fedora Kinoite with some extra stuff, Kinoite might be better for a desktop setup but either one is totally useable for gaming and desktop so don’t overthink it.

That’s all LLM software is, it has no connection to reality, it’s bullshitting 100% of the time. The fact that it is correct mostly, or confident always does not imply that it understands anything it’s saying.

I think immutability actually takes away from the confusion and kind of makes the overall experience much more similar to windows where editing system files is something rarely done even among most power users.

I would suggest installing Fedora Kinoite, poke around it for 20-30min and if you find it too confusing then just putting windows back.

My point is that it’s not a big decision/commitment. And it’s trivial to undo!

Ah ok, so ignoring Calibre for a moment, what’s the difference between Calibre-Web and Calibre-Web Automated? The ReadMe does not contain a list of the differences.
