Lol true

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 The packages aren’t THAT out of date.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.

Hey Hillary…fuck you

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

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.

India’s government is a corrupt shithole aiming to become a police state similar to how the US is headed. The solution is not to privatize nuclear. It’s to hold the government to task and make them fix their fuck ups.

Also, corporations do not “innovate”. They take government grant money to fund their pet research projects. If the government didn’t fund their research and development, we wouldn’t have advancement.

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.

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.

Opening nuclear energy to corporate interests that prioritize cost cutting and maximum profits…what could go wrong with that? /s

Honestly for the best. X11 was great for what it was, but Wayland is the future. XWayland covers X11 apps that haven’t been ported yet.

Now I just wish Cinnamon would hurry up and move to fully default Wayland.

Why would a USB accessory need PoE?

Zigbee 4 support lacking in it is disappointing.
