Who’s buying when the brand is being shut down? Never mind the firmware lock.

Michael needs an editor - lots of instances of the wrong word used, but it’s obvious what he meant so not the end of the world. Just kept jarring me out of focus on the review every time I hit one.

Kimi-K3 Releases on HuggingFace 6/27

So, it’s been out for a month already? And you’re just telling us now?

Not in my wheelhouse, I’m afraid. Might be worth posting the lack of said info as an issue & see what kind of response it gets.

Sorry about that - for the sake of completeness, Finalbenchmark 2 was the other one. Hope you find what you need.

App that claims to do this recently appeared on F-Droid, but I know virtually nothing about it. The description makes it seem a bit unserious, tho.

ETA: here’s another (link fixed).

There have been variations on BASIC that use labels since at least the '80s.

K. Just making sure you knew of the newer one, since others I’ve talked to on occasion didn’t.

I’d forgotten about TinyCore. Looks like it might be more useable than when I last looked at it many, many moons ago, so I’ll have to put it on my rainy day play around list.

When was the last time you checked on DSL?

Well, hell - no DSL (Damn Small Linux)?

“Splurge” indeed. The cost must be the reason they didn’t bother mentioning prices.

I’m not sure I’d be a good reference for what should be in the article as my life has been… unusual, to say the least. I used to be quite techy, albeit mostly self-taught. A couple decades ago my life changed dramatically & took me away from all that. Now I’d like to play some catch-up, but still don’t really have the time, budget, and now brain power for it (older ADHD sufferer).

I mean I can still remember some random basics like a minimal TCP/IP understanding, my fingers still have some muscle memory on using a *NIX shell (tcsh in SCO UNIX, to show my age) & vi (supplanted by vim now), etc. I was just getting into VMs when shit went down, so I get the basics there. But I don’t fully understand what exactly docker, flatpacks, snaps, etc. are, their differences, advantage to each, etc.

And don’t get me started on init - I cannot fathom what a monolithic systemd provides that is so much better than traditional startup systems that it was worth breaking the UNIX philosophy of small, simple programs dedicated to singular tasks for.

But like I said, my situation is kinda unique so I don’t expect to find much info targeting former techies who effectively may as well have been in a coma for over 20 years. But some explainers that get to the point of all that’s come along in that time without treating me as if I’m clueless would be nice.

ETA: and no, I wasn’t in prison, or anything like that. Just stuff happened that severely screwed me up.

I have yet to see a decent explainer on things like VMs, docker, flatpacks, etc. all in one place/article.

Nobody knows, hence the name.

Somebody sane make a Lizzy McGuire distro!

May as well open it - I doubt the SM will be doing massive sales at current prices, so even fewer would have sprung for this add-on. Opening it up is at least good PR/marketing.

Not with what storage is costing lately.

Meanwhile, this Gen-Xer remembers playing games on his first home computer - a Commodore VIC-20 with a whopping 5 KILObytes of RAM - and wonders what happened to the skills required to program efficiently enough to make that work.

I mean, hell - the original Atari 2600 only had 128 BYTES (note: no multiplier prefix), and people still made that work well enough to be a success.

Maybe that’s all there are for this round…

The ESA isn’t stupid, they’re just making the statement to give the politicians in their pockets a cover excuse for making it illegal that the actual dumbasses who support those politicians will buy.
