Nice!

I’m on board w/ both honestly, as unpopular as that may sound. If a job can be automated, it should.

I want to point out that an AI being able to do a job doesn’t mean that job is now obsolete for humans. There will always be room for that human touch, which is why things like kit cars and hand-carved statues are still a thing in an era of automated car factories and 3D printers.

I’ve been getting into chess recently, and the best chess AIs can consistently beat top humans, yet there are still tournaments for human competitors to compete against each other. The human touch will always have value.

I think Lemmy is just scared of change. To be fair, so am I, but as long as I learn to adapt, I should get net benefits from technological advancements.

The main “wasted” resources here is storage space and maybe a bit of RAM, actual runtime overhead is very limited. It turns out, storage and RAM are some of the cheapest resources on a machine, and you probably won’t notice the extra storage or RAM usage.

VMs are heavy, Docker containers are very light. You get most of the benefits of a VM with containers, without paying as high of a resource cost.

We should probably make a poll thread here, it could be pretty interesting to see everyone’s primary and secondary motivations.

AMD is generally less trouble on Linux, but if you’ve been happy with your 1060 on Linux, then it doesn’t matter a ton. AMD tends to have a bit more bang for your buck in terms of raster performance (i.e. don’t expect raytracing and whatnot to work well on mid-tier AMD), which is fine for most things.

Look up perf differences for those cards in games you care about, and all else being equal, pick the one with more RAM. The 7600XT has 16GB, so that’s what I’d default to.

I’m on a 6650XT and it’s great. My SO is on a 6700XT. Maybe one of those is a better deal in your area?

There are a few decent options, all with some caveats:

• Seafile - wicked fast, but uses a funky disk format, so you need either a FUSE layer or the web UI/API to access anything
• OCIS/OpenCloud - default install uses a funky file format, but you can change this to POSIX if you want (experimental on OCIS, might be default now on OpenCloud?)
• others - probably work fine, but they get less blog attention

I’m playing with OCIS and I like it so far. There was some funkiness when I had things misconfigured, but now that it’s working, I like it.

It’s the easiest way to get stuff running, so I’m guessing that’s why. But it’s far from the best way.

I’m not sure how the weight is distributed, so maybe? Maybe it needs sandbags in the front?

Either way, it sounds workable as an around town truck, even in snow, without 4WD.

It usually comes down to privacy and independence from big tech, but there are a ton of other reasons you might want to do it. Here are some more:

• preservation - no longer have to care if Google kills another service
• cost - over time, Jellyfin could be cheaper than a Netflix sub
• speed - copying data on your network is faster than to the internet
• hobby - DIY is fun for a lot of people

For me, it’s a mix of several of reasons.

The only real problem here is the price. It should’ve been more like $30.

Yes please!

And that’s a big reason why I don’t buy Ubisoft games. Even the old Ezio trilogy has that crap.

So yeah, no more.

And that’s why I generally avoid the genre, not because “survival” sucks, but because bad “survival” sucks.

Nice, amateur hour it seems.

I am, but I’m married to a POC with POC friends and coworkers, so I’m pretty familiar with the harm slurs can cause. But yes, any slur can be used non-seriously, because it’s the intent behind the words that really matters. It’s still incredibly immature to say stuff just to piss people off.

It certainly is when not saying such things seriously. Pushing the boundaries of what’s acceptable is very common in gamer circles and is incredibly immature.

And age has little to do with maturity, I’ve seen plenty of 40+ people saying very immature things for attention.

That’s a good way to always keep chips on hand.

Eh, you can be reasonably sure that GrapheneOS or other Android ROMs without any Google Play apps is private.

Two things:

• who’s welcoming him? I’ve only seen excitement about what his video might mean for Linux adoption. I don’t think anyone is saying he should be a spokesman or anything.
• I don’t see evidence of him being a Nazi, I only see evidence of him being an immature streamer; then again, I’ve probably only watched a total of like 2 min of his content because I don’t like his style

I don’t care about him enough to look further, I only care that he has a sizeable audience and is saying positive things about Linux. That’s exciting, because that could push Linux adoption a bit higher. That’s literally the extent of how much I care about him. I’m also worried we could get net negative press if people have trouble with it, but either way it’s exciting.

The same goes for literally any influential person talking about Linux. I don’t like LTT, but I was excited about the handful of Linux videos they apparently made. Maybe there are others, idk, I don’t watch most of the popular streamers.

They didn’t say they’re okay with their behavior, they said they appreciate promoting Linux, because more people using Linux is a good thing for all Linux users.
