sir_reginald, to linux in AMD Publishes XDNA Linux Driver: Support For Ryzen AI On Linux
@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

instead of basing your definition of AI on SciFi, base it on the one computer scientists have been using for decades.

and of course, AI is the buzzword right now and everyone is using it in their products. But that’s another story. LLMs are AI.

it’s probably some sort of Snapchat automatic alert detecting the words bomb or Taliban.

sir_reginald, (edited ) to privacy in The Boost android client for Lemmy is displaying these dark pattern ads pretending to be system notifications. What security/privacy conscious Lemmy clients do you recommend?
@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

There are a bunch of good FOSS Lemmy clients, which I’d argue are as good as Sync or Boost (I can’t know for sure since I don’t use proprietary software, I judge by the screenshots).

Jerboa sucks, I’ll give you that. But both Voyager and Eternity are high quality clients that work amazingly well and are constantly updated. They have plenty of features and are very configurable.

As always, use free software. Look for Lemmy clients in F-Droid. Voyager is a good one.

sir_reginald, to linux in FINALLY! Worlds First Mid-Range Libreboot GAMING PC! GTA V - Max Settings - 1440p (Dell T1650 Mobo)
@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

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

sir_reginald, to linux in Unity’s Open-Source Double Standard: the ban of VLC
@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

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.

sir_reginald, (edited ) to piracy in The "Steamboat Willie" debacle or: Why IP does us more harm than good
@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

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.

sir_reginald, to linux in Microsoft says a Copilot key is coming to keyboards on Windows PCs starting this month
@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

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.

sir_reginald, (edited ) to linux in Microsoft says a Copilot key is coming to keyboards on Windows PCs starting this month
@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

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.

@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

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.

sir_reginald, to linux in What's your favorite music player on Linux?
@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

Mostly CMUS. Clementine on rare occasions.

sir_reginald, to linux in "Combokeys" instead of hotkeys. [Feature/new command suggestion]
@sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

Win, f, i, enter

It’s literally the same with most Linux’s DEs. And even in Window Managers when using dmenu or rofi.

My system is 7 years old, it wouldn’t be an appropriate comparison. Maybe others can help
