I used Sailfish OS on my good old Redmi Note 4 (mido). It was an interesting OS with the usual lack of niche apps for an alternative OS. Anyway, be cautious of Jolla’s history of broken promises. I’m not saying don’t buy, just be careful and level your expectations.
Nothing, but in some countries banks force you to use apps. You know, "for your security ".
As I said before, it matters to me and I will be doing this until it’s possible. I know I’m not using as much AI through software as someone that just don’t care about it. It’s not a categorical thing to use it or not, sometimes you don’t even get to choose, that’s life. I believe it’s as important to take this fight against the industry of AI as a whole as the oil companies, probably even more important. Honestly, the developer already made their decision, and that’s okay for me.
That’s where we are different. I don’t use Lutris, now I’m sure I won’t be trying it. Of course there are people who think this is relevant. I didn’t think I’d have to explain to you that it is not about them using AI as a tool, it’s about not giving enough information about their authorship what concerns me. I suppose they accept donations, well, it is important to me that part of my donations don’t end up with companies that hurt the environment and people’s jobs. Did auto-completion technologies steal almost all humankind constructed knowledge? Do they need catastrophic amounts of environmental resources to work? Do they produce grave diseases to whole populations near them? Did they disrupt several markets for being created? How many employments did they ruin?
I’m not so sure anymore whether THEY are providing FOSS or just approving slop PRs. I do not like harassment at all, even less against a guy that says is/was dealing with depression. That’s why I comment here. Being said that, it’s kind of a jerk move to just hide the fact he is using this tool for development under his own name. As a teacher, few things would make me more mad than having a student doing this.
Oh, he is in Medellin! This starts to make sense.
Meanwhile, Naughty Dog keeps milking the last great game they produced in 2013.
Yeah, adding all the surveillance technology developed in the last 40 years, so you dont dare to take your eyes out of the display, for example.
Well, that’s a target market right now. Intel GPUs are doing better than expected, I think, thanks to all the big corporations abandoning “normal consumers”.
Thank you very much! You are amazing.
Steve Jobs vibes.
Yes, more or less. But the issue is not about running local models; that’s fine even if it’s only for curiosity. The issue is about shoving so-called AI in every activity with the promise it will solve most of your everyday problems, or for mere entertainment. I’m not against “AI”, I’m against the current commercialization attempts to monopolize the technology by already huge companies that will only seek profit, no matter the state of the planet and the other non-millionaire people. And this is exactly why even a bubble burst is concerning to me, as the poor are the ones that will truly suffer the consequences of billionaires betting in their mansions with their spare palaces.
I expect it’s a bubble that will burst. Climate change is no joke and only very stubborn people keeps denying it. AI is not like the massive use of combustion-based energy. That was strike two.
See, it’s not fun for the planet.

I was curious and done with the malware. Living in a very small city in some third world country where the internet was only for some government offices, higher social classes, universities and one or two cyber cafes, grabbing a Linux CD was a daunting task. I got a set of RedHat CDs but couldn’t make it boot in my own PC (a Compaq).
Life got me living in Mexico City to get my BS and suddenly I got many more options to try this Linux thing. Mandrake was now the go-to distro for beginners, since Ubuntu was not a name yet. Installed the Linux, loved it. After discovering the DE variety, I distrohopped for years. It was easier for me to download a Live CD somewhere, often at my University, than changing DE in my offline PC. At that time Mandrake became Mandriva, and I distrohopped between Zenwalk, Slackware, Fedora Core, Dreamlimux (lesser known Debian-based Brazilian distro), then got Ubuntu CDs by mail (they used to send them for free, and even included stickers!), and I settled there until Unity.
This title really bait me.
Apps (local executables, appimages, etc.), Projects (Work, hobbies), Sync (things I need everywhere), tmp (files I will probably delete sooner than later), and Data. Also Vaults and Boxes, only if I need them.
I use fedora, debian and mint because I have several computers for different usecases. I wouldn’t recommend Fedora for this, all the others are gold in my experience, but newbies really should go through Mint first.
