  • For me Firefox crashes all the time in normal use. I am talking minimum twice a day. It also has this weird problem where it will pin one thread to 100% and lock up the whole browser when downloading files. I also had to disable video hardware acceleration or else Twitch crashes every 5-10 minutes but luckily my CPU is so strong that it's not too big of a deal to do software decoding.

    I still use it out of principle but it has been a way worse experience than Chromium ever was for me.

  • Arch and EndeavourOS are the same thing. There is no functional difference between using one or the other. They both use pacman and have the same repos.

  • Weird. I've had a Pi-Hole + Unbound running on a Pi Zero since 2018 and it's never had any issues. I expected the Zero to kinda suck but it has been nothing but smooth sailing. It gets USB power from my router and even if my router reboots the Pi also auto reboots itself.

    I do next to no maintenance on it and it just keeps on chugging along. Maybe once every six months or so I SSH in and do a pihole -up and that's it.

  • Do you think Rockstar is omniscient?

    Seriously. There is actually zero way Rockstar would ever know even if you outright stole some of the code unless you were to admit it. And definitely not if you got some inspiration from it.

    The derivative code will get compiled. What are they going to do, pick apart the machine code from every game released from now on to see if it somehow matches a chunk from GTA? And then somehow track down and prove that one of the probably dozens of employees who worked on the game looked at this leaked source code? Good luck with that.

  • For me I have to change SDR Color Intensity to 100% for the colors to be close to SDR. Although because you can't use ICC profiles with HDR and my monitor is wide gamut the colors are wrong. But as far as I can tell it looks very close, if not identical to running SDR without my ICC profile enabled.

  • Maybe I'll just fade away and not have to face CSS

  • I like lemdro.id because they haven't really defederated from anyone except for spam instances

    I chose them for the same reason, they actually aren't defederated from any instances as far as I can tell. I would rather choose which content I want to see for myself than have someone else do it for me. Plus there is old.lemdro.id which makes me feel right at home.

  • 16GB should be the absolute bare minimum with 32GB being standard at this point.

  • For me it's the (custom-ordered) Arch logo key ◉⁠‿⁠◉

  • Same with Cox, the default is 1.25 TB. I pay extra for unlimited and use around 7 TB per month. Haven't heard any complaints for the 2 years I've had them. I have a feeling the threshold is something like 8 or 10 TB but I'd rather not find out.

  • I have been using the same Arch installation for about 8 years. The initial installation/configuration is the only time consuming part. Actual day-to-day usage is extremely easy.

    Maybe this is no longer the case but I previously used Ubuntu and it was actually much more annoying in comparison, especially when upgrading between major revisions or needing to track down sources/PPAs for packages not in the main repos. Or just when you want something more up-to-date than what they're currently shipping.

    The rolling release model + the AUR saves so much time and prevents a lot of headaches.

  • Wow, that is incredibly unfortunate timing.

  • As long as you still have access to the cli it should be fixable. If you want to still try to get to plasma 6 make sure you also enabled the core-testing and extra-testing repos in addition to kde-unstable as per the wiki

    If you enable any other testing repository listed in the following subsections, you must also enable both core-testing and extra-testing

    I missed that little snippet when I first swapped over.

    If you do yay kf6 you can install all of the framework-related packages which might also help fill out some missing dependencies. For me it's 1-71. You can do the same with yay plasma and then choose the ones from kde-unstable (122-194 for me) but you will have to manually avoid the ones with conflicts like plasma-framework.

    But if you want to try and revert theoretically simply removing the testing and unstable repos and doing another sudo pacman -Syu should get you back onto the older versions.

  • You can do sudo pacman -Syudd where the dd is for ignoring dependencies to force it through. But be aware this is basically asking for things to break. Some packages haven't been updated to the latest versions yet. For example dolphin wouldn't launch so I had to switch to dolphin-git from the AUR.

  • I'm honestly not sure what you're trying to say here. If by "it must have access to information for reference" you mean it has access while it is running, it doesn't. Like I said that information is only available during training. Either you're trying to make a point I'm just not getting or you are misunderstanding how neural networks function.

  • I think you are confused, how does any of that make what I said a lie?

  • The important distinction is that this "database" would be the training data, which it only has access to during training. It does not have access once it is actually deployed and running.

    It is easy to think of it like a human taking a test. You are allowed to read your textbooks as much as you want while you study, but once you actually start the test you can only go off of what you remember. Sure you might remember bits and pieces, but it is not the same thing as being able to directly pull from any textbook you want at any time.

    It would require you to have a photographic memory (or in the case of ChatGPT, terabytes of VRAM) to be able to perfectly remember the entirety of your textbooks during the test.
