You don’t need permission to train a model on any art. No IP rights are being broken.

How do you know AI companies straight-up pirate the art and don’t just buy a copy to train their models?

Linux has faults with the UX

My brother, you don’t realize how critical that is. UX is all that matters for us regular people when it comes to computers and operating systems. Even after Windows 11’s moronic redesign people still find Linux UX to be relatively inferior, which speaks a lot about the absolute state of it.

Everyone would have still loved him had he stayed away from Twitter and worked with a low profile. But he uad to toot his own horn at every chance and let his true self get exposed.

It’d be better if they went after literally every other AI corp than Meta in this case. Meta is the only one that’s ironically releasing open-source models and leading the way for open-source LLMs. I don’t want Meta to stop doing this.

Meta’s llama models are generally open. In fact Meta is the main megacorp that’s driving open-source AI right now. Everyone else keeps their models proprietary.

The more we use and recommend Linux the more of a chance we get of first party support in the future!

I don’t think that has ever been the case. Hardware vendors are not very likely to listen to the whims of a tiny fraction of retail customers, especially the kind which don’t make them much money. Institutional clients are the only one who can have any such sway, and that too is a stretch in most cases.

Whatever push desktop Linux support may get, it will be coming from enterprise customers. So if you have any influence on your company’s IT dept get them to ask for it, especially since this is a golden opportunity as the dissatisfaction with Windows is at an all-time high.

Use Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC until it lasts (~2027 iirc). And pray that Linux gets enough first-party support from hardware vendors till then, otherwise we’re properly fucked.

bluetooth works since like a decade

Lol no it doesn’t. It’s still entirely at the mercy of the OEM, many of who often don’t bother with Linux support. Acer is the biggest example.

Yes I do use HDR. Bluetooth too. Sorry Linux users, we exist.

Writers are people, not AI that improves its output quality the more money (hardware) you throw at it. The writers of the Halo TV show should have just been replaced with an entirely new team that actually understood the source.

Yeah there are lovely solutions for everything if you can self-host, but the general crowd only has standalone websites hosted by some brave pirate captain.

With regard to ebooks, a clean Kindle-friendly website that immediately downloads the .azw3 file for any book selected.

Yeah we all know this “security feature” is to root out ReVanced and other mod users.

We are not in want of such solutions, Lutris and other existing solutions are capable of making game-specific environments already. The main problem is having enough volunteers to painstakingly run, test and submit the exact dependency parameters for each game that makes it run correctly. Same will be the issue even if we shift to Nix or anything else. The problem is manpower scarcity, not lack of tech.

Microsoft only tolerates retail users, it has always intended its products to be for commercial entities.

Librarians are not always (but in fact, are very rarely) Lit enthusiasts who’ll know the best choices whenever you ask them. Most of them are just doing their jobs.

But the libgen upload interface is cumbersome, requires way too many details and has regularly denied my uploads whenever I tried.
