The groupthink on forums is ridiculous, and you don’t need to be a capitalist nor anticapitalist to recognize that. I, too, hope that we can have healthy discussions of starkly different views.

Don’t be a simpleton.

You didn’t need to add that… This is Lemmy, not Reddit. Come on, now.

Interesting, I hadn’t thought of it that way… fair!

Are they trying to fake their own numbers, or maybe one Linux fanatic who is falsely skewing representation?

Curious: how do we know that these download counts aren’t inaccurate from, like, a few bots repeatedly downloading to mess with the stats?

Agreed, I’m not sure of why LocalSend is so well-received when I’ve literally been unable to get devices to even see each other, ever, even when they’ve been on the same network; I’ve tried across multiple networks (all devices on the same network each time). Literally ToffeeShare is way easier. PlainApp I’ve had some success with as well. Bluetooth works but not all devices take it, nor Quick Share.

I feel like the entire, boring indie game Regions of Ruin was carried by its epic music.

What about it was mediocre?!

Homeworld could have done so much more with its 3D premise, yeah, but man, that tutorial music is haunting!

I let this society kills kill my sobriety

Stoicism corrected that statement for you.

Anyone who wants to try Linux but is scared of or reluctant about anything about the process at all: talk to me! There are multiple ways to try it with zero change to your system, like Oracle VirtualBox or a USB flash drive.

Okay, great, thanks. I just hope that Canonical doesn’t do something like forcibly interweave a proprietary blob with a critical updated.

There comes an environmental limit, though, and computers themselves may have already been it without us realizing it, but AI use only hastens our demise: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/59966675

What you’re missing is that nothing that we have is “AI” in the true sense of the term. LLMs, ChatGPT, etc. are not “AI,” which is just an inaccurate buzzword being thrown around; they’re still advanced autocomplete algorithms with no inherent self-motivation, or else their hallucination rate would be continually dwindling without their maintainers’ help.

None of it is actually “AI” in the true sense of the phrase; it’s just being tossed around as a buzzword.

You haven’t heard Google NotebookLM, then; run any article through that to summarize it podcast-style with a male and female voice and be amazed. I had to ask if they were real myself; voices have come so far.

I’m not supporting AI but just saying that it has vastly improved cadence, inflection, tone, etc.

Thanks, I didn’t know that. But then my question is: how dependent is the Mint team on Canonical’s updates to Ubuntu? Is it like Waterfox vs. Firefox?

I was just reading through /r/NobaraProject myself, haha! I may try to stick with Mint Cinnamon for now, though, since I’ve already got it installed…

That is a bit of a different case; Syncthing-Fork 2.0 was still under Catfriend1. From what I remember reading of Reddit banter, the pass-on was legitimate but just awkwardly done, to sum it up.

Pop!_OS was personally a terrible experience for me, even when not on NVIDIA. It seemed great until I actually tried it lol, but I’d recommend almost literally anything else.
