one trip to Amsterdam will show you how bad our use of cars has been for us

“Apple is the opposite of planned obsolescence”

Is there something in the water?

You are definitely doing it wrong, I rarely have issues and when I do I just switch comparability tools. I play multiple indie games, marvel rivals, I played lots of among us on my machine in 2020. Running Pop OS

Most people just want their software easy & free (for fair reasons), and this is the end result of that

It seems we’re all experiencing a form of sticker shock, from the bill for getting ease-of-use out of software that we demanded for the past few decades.

It’s a trope now that loads of internet users will complain about Mac OS & Windows, while digging in their heels against switching to Linux. Just take your medicine people.

Perhaps we need more collective action & coordination?

I don’t see how we could politically undermine these systems, but we could all do more to contribute to open source workarounds.

We could contribute more to smart tv/e-reader/phone & tablet jailbreak ecosystems. We could contribute more to the fediverse projects. We could all contribute more to make Linux more user friendly.

I personally really like Apple Vision and the bar it’s pushing. However, using one of these devices long term in a walled garden sounds like a nightmare for privacy and marketing abuse of users.

we’re people, not fairytale beasts

You’re confusing democracy with tyranny.

We regulate kids in all sorts of ways, this isn’t different. Kids don’t need social media to communicate.

> Zebra-Llama achieves Transformer-level accuracy with near-SSM efficiency using only 7–11B training tokens (compared to trillions of tokens required for pre-training) and an 8B teacher. Moreover, Zebra-Llama dramatically reduces KV cache size—down to 3.9%, 2%, and 2.73% of the original for the 1B, 3B, and 8B variants, respectively—while preserving 100%, 100%, and 97% of average zero-shot performance on LM Harness tasks.

This is an extraordinary claim, is there a catch I’m missing? Am I misreading?

I think we’re mistaking incompetence with malice in regards to DOGE here

This assumes fair competition in the tech industry, which has evaporated without a path for return years ago.

Given the trajectory of Microsoft products it stands to reason Github’s future is uncertain. Also Git is ultimately a hosting platform that any competent software shop can recreate; the people behind the platform matter more than the platform itself.

Hopefully more projects can follow! Codeberg has a far more secure foundation to avoid unethical practices on users.

Does this apply to other Linux Distros?

probably not to mars, europa, ganymede, or enceladus though

Yeah every action a company takes is immediately and completely reflected in the market cap /s

What a breath of fresh air, I’m watching people dance with plain text behind the bars of Jira, GitLab & Teams

More memory means more memory for my website to take up!

I’m far more inclined to trust any CPU manufacturer over a motherboard manufacturer.

Thank you

Apologies for the non sequitur

Do you think Zig is a valid challenger to Rust for this kind of programming?

If it’s not open source, it’s fraud in disguise

I think that’ll be one of the few good parts of it imho

If we’re talking about dwarf fortress it uses an old IBM charset, assuming this is some branch off that

Now dwarf fortress can eat your CPU, Memory, and GPU. Exciting news.
