  • Its one of the many trials set by SPACE KING

  • The number pad only ever became relevant to me after decades when I began playing video games that have more keybindings than I have brain cells. Caves Of Qud makes use of basically the the whole number pad just to manually move in 8 different directions.

  • I think ill email Acidus and ask if they can get something going on. Thanks for the interest!

  • They are similar and use some of the same underlying technology powered by the readability library, but newswaffle gives more options on how to render the article (article mode, link mode, raw mode), it isolates images and gives them their own external url link you can click on, it tells you exactly how much cruft it saved from original webpage (something about seeing 99.x% lighter makes my brain tingle good chemicals). It works well with article indexes. You can bookmark a newswaffle page to get reader view by default instead of clicking a button in firefox toolbar. Hope these examples help.

  • Yes it absolutely can! I linked the githubs with open source codes. Unfortunately I don't think theres any precompiled executables for newswaffle its just source written in vscode. I'm only a hobbyist and not really familiar with compiling vscode but was hoping a more knowledgeable person could figure it out.

    Not sure about portal.mozz source I haven't looked to hard into it yet but hoping its easier.

  • Not every device with a built in web browser has reader view (like the kobo I showed). I believe firefox reader requires you download the whole webpage first and then post formats. Newswaffle is useful If your limited on data, don't want your connection touching the servers of the news site, or just like how it formats sites over a reader view.

  • Would something like this interest you? Gemtext formatted to html is about as light weight as it gets. lots of automatic gemtext blog software on github that also formats and mirrors an html copy. Whenever a news page article gets rendered to gemtext through newswaffle it shrinks about 95-99% of the page size while keeping text intact. Let me know if you want some more information on gemini stuff.

  • Thank you for the feedback, ill look into digital llama aesthetic. I updated the picture just now with a lot of unneeded linework removed to get it cleaner for small view. Think its a little better now.

  • I was going to say it sounds like linux mint would be your dream OS its stable and bullet proof. Download everything through package manager if you really need up to date program flatpaks or appimages have you covered. Never have the computer force an update on you or change things around again. Both my elderly parents use LM every day for years not one complaint after I set everything up for them with like web app shortcuts to banks and stuff. I think youll like it, modern linux is so much better than years ago its unreal. Look for a cheap used thinkpad if you a laptop user.

  • The community consensus is that bandwith is key. An extra 300gb/s is a big bonus.

    Your taking a small amount of risk with second hand but generally laptops will last a good long while and an extra thousand or so off for a better performing product is a decent deal IMO. Ive been using my second hand laptop for over a decade now, so I would probably be biased to take the dice roll on used after testing it out in person.

    I hope it works out for you! Man I wish I could get my rig upgraded on the cheap but GPU market is insane. I wonder how the nvidia digits or and strix will compare to a Mac?

  • When I had my AMD GPU going the best way to get models running was kobold.cpp and using vulcan. The flag is like --usevulcan or something. Its way easier than getting a rocm fork working from source.

  • in your range 32b models work well give qwen coder a try

  • In the winter my home can go down into the 40F-50F range with all available heating running on full. Even with electric blankets its better to layer up with thermal underwear, hats, coats, three layers of pants, and gloves.

    My mom says she can't stand a bunch of fabric on her which I guess is fair. I personally can't stand freezing to death while I sleep myself so its a fair trade.

    Twitter: "lmao this new retcon of Godzilla is wild"

  • System Operator. In non-nerd speak, it was the person who owned and ran the local public fourms website on their home computer. Lemmys instance admins are usually sysops for example, as they have root admin privleges or direct hardware access to the computer that the Lemmy instance software runs on.

    This person is talking about an admin of a local fourm site early internet users used before centralized social media like MySpace and Facebook made Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) irrelevant.

  • The mouse utopia experiment but on humans. Ive always seen a subset of people who bemoan having to work or develop specialized skills to contribute to society. They want everything provided for them so their whole life can be leasure and comfort. A lot of socialism and communism selling points tend to be about having social services and things provided to you.

    I'm interested to see the long term affects of people in a society where EVERYTHING is provided for you all the time. Every survival concern, sexual pleasure, every base urge, every whim and desire. For decades and decades and decades. Would it be a genuine good for society or would it be a monkeys paw situation?

    Ive always hypothesized that any human society that attempts this will quickly erode into something similar to the mouse utopia.

    Without any environmental pressures or meaningful challenges to overcome a large portion of the population without strong internal drives will become lethally/suicidally lazy, apathetic, and narcicistic

    I suspect theres a large amount of people who simply have zero internal drives to apply themselves to doing a thing unlesd they have to. without the pressure of survival in either a physical or economic way they would simply sit on their ass, jerk off, play games, and maybe groom themselves, for decades until they die. Merit and overcoming challenge are important aspects of drive and dopamine generation. You deprive a person of those things they become lethargic. If that sentiment proves itself true it will be a hard pill to swallow for a lot of ideologies.

    Unethical questions:

    Statistically speaking, how many people would escelate their wants to socially taboo depravities? How quickly?

    How long on average would it take for pleasure to become less meaningful in the face of instant gratification? Is there a logarithmic function that charts this?

    How many people on average decide to begin self harm out to seek novel sensations? How long until onset?

    How many people choose to live out a full life vs taking the placebo cyanide capsule and being removed from experiment? What would their reasonings be?

  • Voxelibre does have sprinting, its aux_1 in keybind settings. Left Ctrl by default I think

  • Voxelibre does have sprint, its 'aux_1' in the settings. Left Ctrl by default I think?
