  • Meta could take over the fediverse pretty easily once they've been here for a while.

    Nothing, they're one cog in a pool of federated instances.

    Yes, Threads will be technically just an instance of a federated network with thousands of instances. But Threads is so fucking big in comparison that most posts will come from there. And at that point, they can impose their algorithms and recommendations on us.

  • As it's to be expected from this website, the article quality is subpar.

    They mix third party hosted LLMs, with frontends (KoboldAI, GPT4ALL) and with local models (which BTW, every single one of them is a llama finetune. They've never heard of mistral or others, apparently).

    If I hadn't read this website years ago and knew that the quality was already trash back then, I'd say this very article was written by a LLM.

  • whats libreboot? does (what im assuming is) a bootloader really have that much impact on performance after the PC has finished booting?

    It's more a BIOS replacement, not a bootloader. It can have a slightly performance decrease due to lack of optimisation vs the proprietary BIOS.

    But the real issue is that Libreboot is supported in a very specific list of motherboards, which means that you don't get to run the latest hardware.

    Last I checked the newer board that supported it was like 4 years old. It might have changed now, tho

  • Don't you all have a business or economics community to post this?

    If I subscribe to technology, I want tech news. Not how this month one tech giant is valued slightly higher than another.

  • I also thought of Unity the DE before reading the article

    I understand the confusion. This doesn't belong to a Linux community. I mean, I see the relation with FOSS but I'm sure there are FOSS communities out there. The article doesn't even mentions Linux, just Windows and Android.

  • do you know how a CPU is designed? it's just crazy hard to study the design of simple RISC CPUs we studied in college. And those were very simple, old processors.

    A modern processor with performance that can match modern CPUs is no task for one indie dev, at all.

    You need a team of professionals in the field, a huge budget and the technology to manufacture it, which you would probably end outsourcing to one of the big manufacturers anyway because it's very rare.

    So the answer to your question is never, unless you're expecting low performance CPUs based on FPGAs.

  • the malware has to be very advanced and specifically target your hypervisor version to escape a VM.

    in the context of cracked software, it is highly improbable that you'll find malware with this capabilities.

  • Both are based on the absurd concept of intellectual property. They are the same cancerous thing that is crippling technological and cultural advancement.

    Edit: Seeing your comment history in the piracy community, I don't understand why you bother commenting. It's pretty clear that you're a corpo buttlicker. I'm sure there are communities where youd be better received.

  • We have lost much having to wait for meds patents or other useful technologies.

    And even in the entertainment industry we have probably lost so many masterpieces that could have been inspired by copyrighted material. Of course, that we will never know.

  • you're right about the buttons, but Teslas have been demonstrated to be very low quality in various tests recently published. they were ranked even below Dacia.

  • I hope urban community gardens were a thing in my country. It would provide fresh and cheap vegetables and I wouldn't mind working at it a few hours per month.

  • When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich.

  • why not remap existing keys? the Copilot key is probably replacing the right control key, which I use it for multiple keybindings that use control + a letter on the left side of the keyboard.

    We already have a ton of modifier keys: Meta or Super, Alt, Shift and Control. And you can also remap Caps Lock to be another one if you don't use it.

    Personally, I like to remap Caps Lock to Super, for easier and quicker access to keybindings. I find the privileged position of Caps Lock in the keyboard absurd and rather useless.

  • I'm sure more people use right control than scroll lock.

  • It sounds like a good feature to assign a certain key to an option in GRUB. Maybe GRUB has this feature already, it has been a while since I've looked into it's config options.

    No need for a dedicated key in the physical keyboard tho, just let the user choose, Alt or Space are good options.

  • As you said, there used to be a gap there. Replacing a gap makes not that much harm and people find it useful even in Linux for keybindings. In more of an Alt kind of guy, but Super is also there for more combinations available.

    The Copilot key appears to be going were the right Control or right Alt key are right now, so that's going to be a bother for a lot of people.

  • because most people are unaware of keybindings and when they inevitable tap on the new dedicated key they'll probably be shown a subscription screen for Copilot Premium or whatever they call it.

    IMO it's a very disgusting and intrusive way of fishing subscriptions to the AI thing they've invested so much money on.

  • and yet they are still loosing money by running ChayGPT 3.5 for free. I guess that in the future they'll switch to a local small model in the hardware that is capable enough.

  • it was probably not put there against trans people in the first place, I'll give you that.

    but it definitely stops trans people from getting the work without renouncing to their own identity. it's an unjust law against trans people, there's no discussion of that.

    it's not like trans people aren't aware of the law and that's why they don't abide, it's because they don't want to give up their dignity by using their dead name.

  • Capitalism is evolving into an almost worldwide police state.
