Fully agree, the software landscape on Linux is mind blowing.

Every couple of years I try out the latest “assistant”. I ask very simple queries, stuff that you might expect it to be able to handle. It always disappoints hilariously.

Questions where previous assistants consistently and utterly failed: “What’s the weather going to be like today?” “I want to go to [address], using public transport, can you tell me which routes I have to take?” “What are my appointments today?”

You’d think these are pretty obvious use-cases, but every iteration of assistants was completely incapable of getting even close to a satisfying answer. I don’t expect LLMs to fare better this time around.

Voyager on android, im perfectly happy with it.

It started as an experiment to get off the Windows 11 train wreck for me and now I can’t imagine ever going back. Linux is so far ahead, it’s not even a competition.

I think, therfore I SLAM!

This is fantastic! I played the multilayer mod back in the day and it was always a blast.

The future is looking bright for bazzite

Quite the opposite. Due to systemic corruption autocracies are economically highly inefficient with low productivity across the board with all kinds of long term effects this brings. And while it might look bad for democracies at the moment, I think many of the current crop of autocracies will be short lived. In the end, economy is where it’s at, and autocracies are horrible at it.

This is the correct answer.

What federation protects from is the singular owner of the platform sweeping in and setting/enforcing new rules for some or all communities. This could still happen on one instance, but new instances can mitigate the effects. Single communities can still turn bad, but it will be up to the users to decide whether to stick around or move to other communities.

This attitude is exactly the problem. The current situation is new and unprecedented. Not seeing the difference is the type of ignorance that allowed this to happen in the first place.

I’ve noticed an uptik of pro Chinese propaganda content here on lemmy in recent days. I am afraid the fediverse had been discovered.

I root for bazzite. It’s so easy to setup and update all while providing superb support for gaming. I actually run it as a desktop os and I love it.

Doing this research transparently is a good idea, it will only be a matter of time before other actors will try and use LLMs to influence lemmy. Like spam, bots and farms, this is a reality the fediverse will have to deal with eventually. Better start preparing now.

The Trump administration had barely started, it’s going to be a wild ride. I fully expect Polio to return.

The way things are going he will announce it tomorrow, likely via social media and without prior warning to the other NATO members.

Wow, a state backed scam and grift reserve. Surely this will turn out great.

I’ve been comparing PieFed to lemmy and it’s not even a close call. Accessing lemmy with an app like Thunder or Voyager is far more comfortable and efficient. Insurance choice is great, discovery is easy and the overall experience feels very polished.

On second thought, maybe they’re doing the right thing. Offering what the competition does with improved privacy and the option to switch it off completely. I personally think LLMs are pretty bad at real-life queries, but ultimately the users will have to decide.

I’m open for alternative suggestions. The ease of wiping browser data while excluding preferred sites in duckduckgo is really nice.
