With Ollama, all you have do is copy an extra folder of ROCm files. Not hard at all.

With an AMD RX 6800 + 32gb DDR4, I can run up to a 34b model at an acceptable speed.

All laptops are supposed to be formatted and have the necessary software freshly installed before being assigned to someone. Either it wasn’t wiped by accident, or the person whose job it was found the CP and left it, hoping my dad would report it. He deleted it, though, because was afraid he’d be blamed.

When my dad worked for the DoD, he was assigned a laptop for work that had explicit photos of children on it.

AI CP seems like a promising way to destroy demand for the real thing. How many people would risk a prison sentence making or viewing the real thing when they could push a button and have a convincing likeness for free with no children harmed? Flood the market with cheap fakes and makers of the real thing may not find it profitable enough to take the risk.

Same. I’ve been tentatively exploring podcasts, since most of what I used YouTube for was listening to videos to get to sleep at night. It would be exciting if Peertube use picked up because of this, though.

W2k was the best.

Yeah, I really liked LXDE.

Yep. I’ve had no problems with x11. It’s always been super stable.

TBH, I’ve always wanted to do this.

I use XFCE, but I like Cinnamon too. I use Nemo and Xed instead of Thunar and…whatever.

It makes so much sense to have EVs be solar-powered, and would also ease my worry about running low on electricity and not finding anywhere to charge. I hope they’re a reality sometime while I’m still driving.

Maybe, but I normally only leave battery optimization on for apps that shouldn’t be running in the background at all. This was several years ago, though. If Signal isn’t like that anymore, that’s a good thing.

At some point, probably after Fedora stops supporting x11, openSUSE plans to follow suit, and it will no longer be available in the repos. There’s no firm date for when this will occur, though. I read about it on the official forum.

I use XFCE. If their Wayland support isn’t ready when openSUSE Tumbleweed eliminates support for x11, I’m not sure what I’ll go to.

SimpleX is what I use. I tried Signal in the past, but there was a noticeable delay in receiving messages and it caused problems when using it to communicate with family.

I have no problems with SimpleX so far. It works well and looks modern. A feature I like is that you can create a different user identity for each contact/ chat thread. It also supports socks5 proxy.

I believe Briar can’t do offline messaging without setting it up to use another app. That’s the main reason my friend group shifted to SimpleX instead of Briar.

Good to know, even though I’m not a Gnome user. I wonder if it will work with torsocks.

I’ve used LibreOffice for years, and formatting is a constant struggle. I end up looking online to figure out how to make a small, simple change, and it turns out the only way to do it is by messing with styles, which is way more than I want. The focus on styles is LO’s biggest drawback, IMO.

Collaborating with Arkenfox on default settings was nice, but wasn’t fundamental to the goals of the project. You can look at their Codeberg to see that the latest activity was a few days ago, and there have been several releases since the date of the thread you linked.
