When I started using linux 15 years ago, my friend recommended to keep a windows partition for gaming. At least for me, I have deleted windows a few years ago and I'm not looking back.
I don't know. These are the frontends that my home instance offers. What I was trying to say with my post is that there are already a few different UIs available and it should be straightforward to fork one and adapt as you like.
True, they have some interesting features. But at least if they use Windows ML, these apps can run on any hardware. The only difference is the performance that can be achieved.
They said something in the video you linked that the developers could use a larger model thanks to the performance of the Snapdragon Chip. And with Davinci, they said that the performance with NPU is better than with GPU.
What I'm trying to say is that these things are not a new invention of 2024. NPUs were introduced at least 7 years ago (for ARM CPUs). The Microsoft APIs have been there for three years. The only new thing is the marketing hype around AI.
The hardware industry wants to sell new devices. Most software companies just upload your data to the cloud and to the AI magic there (e.g. ChatGPT, Bing Image creator).
The linked essay is quite long and (at least for me) hard to read. One of the first links in the article is to this patreon blog post, that summarizes the issue well.
As we first announced last year, Apple is requiring that Patreon use their in-app purchasing system and remove all other billing systems from the Patreon iOS app by November 2024.
This has two major consequences for creators:
Apple will be applying their 30% App Store fee to all new memberships purchased in the Patreon iOS app, in addition to anything bought in your Patreon shop.
Any creator currently on first-of-the-month or per-creation billing plans will have to switch over to subscription billing to continue earning in the iOS app, because that’s the only billing type Apple’s in-app purchase system supports.
Before we go any further, we want to be crystal clear about one thing: Apple’s fee will not impact your existing members. It will only affect new memberships purchased in the iOS app from November onward.
Is your question about the task for the end user? If all works well, it might take as long as installing a new operating system on any other device. Maybe half an hour give or take.
Maybe someone will prove me wrong, but I think there is still not enough public information about the vulnerability and the possible mitigations to answer your questions thoroughly.
The main admin and owner disappeared and the server was running poorly. As it became more and more clear that the situation will likely not improve, we created a new instance, run by the fediverse.foundation and asked everyone to subscribe to the new communities. Three weeks ago, the domain feddit.de went offline.
Doesn't look good from the device compatibility aspect:
Termux also supports Android 12 but running the app on this version of Android would kill phantom processes and crash the app, meaning spawning several processes would randomly close the application unintentionally. if you plan to upgrade your device to Android 12, upgrade at your own risk!
