I ran the tests with the thinking model. It got them right. For these kind of tasks, choosing the thinking model is key,

All it takes is momentum. It’s a chicken-and-egg problem, and I think it’s gaining momentum because of Valve. Gaming was always the one thing stopping people from checking out Linux.

Now, however, more and more people are trying it out. More tech YouTubers are trying Linux, which means more exposure. Distros are becoming more refined. KDE is much better than it used to be because of Valve. All in all, there’s true momentum building.

In due time, Linux will be preinstalled on computers and laptops, and because of this, more people will contribute to Linux. People are fed up with the bloat and heavy AI push of Windows 11.

Keep coming back to Wayland. I’ve been using Linux as my main desktop OS since 2022, and at first, I encountered many issues with Wayland (KDE). However, I kept coming back and testing Wayland as the bugs were fixed. Now, Wayland is great! It feels like a true modern operating system — much better than Windows.

I was afraid of this. I have a mid-2014 Macbook and it runs much better in Linux, but the trackpad leaves something to be desired.

How’s the trackpad on Linux? I tried Gnome distros and KDE distros and the trackpad didn’t feel natural… It seemed off.

The drivers still need to get better. For instance, it still doesn’t support multi monitor VRR in Wayland.

Awesome!

What about audio share?

Rationally speaking, the whole purpose of sanctions is to sanction the whole population of the country in order to get the government of the country to change it’s policies. And when it comes to sanctions, companies and entities doing business with the sanctioned countries are themselves sanctioned. So Linus had no choice but to remove the Russian contributors.

We’re talking about a real situation, not about what would be better.

It’s not racism. They have to follow the LAW.

The new o1-preview model gave me much better and more precise answers than the 4o model.

I think the professor himself is fed up with the situation, because as a researcher he is forced to publish his articles to for-profit publishers, who are basically the mafia gatekeepers, who profit from information that should be open to everyone. And the university profits from this lucrative business.

This Youtube video will open your eyes to this business: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKiBlGDfRU8

Librewolf and Floorp are good Firefox based alternative browsers.

But he is right. As long as a distro is maintained by one individual, it is at risk of being discontinued at any time he can no longer maintain it.

Yup.

More detail is good for technical users, but extremely confusing for non-technical users. There needs to be a balance between what’s good for both groups, and I think the current design is a good one.

What’s wrong with it? It’s very clear in my opinion.

I like to think of instances as countries. Each instance has its own rules and culture, and that affects how the communities are moderated. For example, the beehaw.org instance is heavily moderated compared to lemmy.world. Continuing with our example, the Technology community on beehaw.org will be moderated differently than the Technlology community on Lemmy.world.

So each instance has its own reason for existing. Another example will be https://lemmynsfw.com/ which is an 18+ instance. Basically, when you register in an instance, you become a citizen of that country.

So in summary, each instance has its own rules, its own policies, its own culture, and the moderators of the community that is that instance are bound by them. So unixporn@lemmy.world is not the same as unixporn@lemmy.ml.
