Fair and balanced in the same way as Fox News. :)

It’s a nice journey, and you can also start to look into proxmox for self hosting things. It really feels amazing to have your own little lab of stuff rather than using the public web for all services.

Good thing there are hundreds of other instances. This a solved problem with Lemmy.

No need to even complain about it. You have choice here.

The largest instances are going to be like reddit, yes.

Just install Pop OS.

Alright, I'm gonna "take one for the team" -- what is with the "downvote-happy" users lately?

Title. “lmao internet points” and all, but what is the point of participating in a community that sees assumptions and other commonly non-harmful commentaries/posts as “bad” this easily? Do folks in here are really that needy of self-validation, even if it means seeking such from something completely insignificant like...

I just post what is true to me. Let people downvote. But yeah, lots of downvotes sometimes because some topics are just “we must all agree or else”.

Large instances are like reddit now, yes.

It’s not intelligent because it’s not thinking.

At least my definition of intelligence is thinking. Otherwise a simple pattern matching algorithm like a regexp is also intelligent, or a sorting algorithm that puts things in the right order.

But I agree it’s very efficient and has more data than any single person ever could. It’s a computer, they are great at storing and processing information.

Yes it’s going to transform everything. It’s about the same as the transformation from typewriter to computer for society. But I still don’t think any machine that predicts the next word is intelligent. However, this is only the beginning. We are not going to be able to keep up with AI soon, and it will work around the clock to get better and better.

We will have those high tech societies from the movies where robots are everywhere and people are quite sad.

Yeah it depends a lot on the hardware. I have one laptop with Linux that is wonky sometimes because it has Nvidia graphics. But my stationary with amd is awesome, always works 100%.

Yeah I was never into arcade games as a kid. I realized right away that they were made to be difficult for that reason, so it felt like they were not worth it.

But games at home, at my commodore 64 or Amiga, were often difficult too. There was often no tutorials even. You just started playing and figured things out. I remember feeling like I had all the time in the world back then. As an adult, I often feel my time is limited and I should be doing something useful with it.

Yeah the best manual I ever read was for en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunship_(video_game), it was amazing. A thick manual explaining so much about the military helicopter and how it worked. Was thrilling to read as a kid.

I don’t remember the graphics being so bad though…:) But it’s pretty shit by today’s standards.

I’m sick but I will do it when I recover. Need to get started with exercise again.

Oh OK. Yes it’s on every app developers roadmap. :)

@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Yeah but they wanted to run it in production to make sure there aren’t weird bugs that only shows in production I guess.

Stuff like complex federation bugs occurring during certain conditions, things that are hard to see in a test environment.

This version is only on Lemmy.ml now so doesn’t really affect most of us… :)

You call us people, that’s nice.

It’s on Lemmy 0.19 now so getting closer to new version for everyone. :)

Neovim is better in many ways, and because it has lua support, it’s so much easier to write plugins for it. So there are thousands of plugins right now, and entire neovim distributions that are configured to work like an IDE, like Lazyvim for example.

www.lazyvim.org

I’m a huge fan and I have written plugins myself since it’s easy and rewarding.

But on the server, I don’t bother installing neovim. Ordinary vim is fine for simple editing tasks. But if you want a customized experience to replace VS Code on your computer, you want neovim and not vim.

Sounds weird, I get 1080p on FreeTube app and that’s just a browser underneath.

@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Oh, thanks.

The list is generally correct but these days, systemd has made quite an impact also. If a distribution uses systemd, it has one software to handle everything from booting (instead of grub), handling start and status of all system services etc. Its probably the largest change to the Linux ecosystem in a long time.

X11 and Wayland are desktop protocols, so things like desktop environments and window managers depends on one or them to be installed. Without them, you don’t get any graphics except for the console. It’s all built on top of one of those.

Everyone’s parents suck, and today’s kids will fuck up their kids also. It’s almost unavoidable as part of the separation process, where kids will try to be as different from their parents as possible.

This causes conflicts and parents reacting in “wrong” ways to their kids being morons. :)
