What’s the deal with Alpine not using GNU? Is it a technical or ideological thing? Or is it another “because we can” type distro?

“Tiny shards” probably isn’t the right term to describe particles 20-200 nanometers wide, but this is probably bad nonetheless.
Cohere’s command-r models are trained for exactly this type of task. The real struggle is finding a way to feed relevant sources into the model. There are plenty of projects that have attempted it but few can do more than pulling the first few search results.
I really like the simplicity and formatting of stock pacman. It’s not super colorful but it’s fast and gives you all of the info you need. yay (or paru if you’re a hipster) is the icing on top.
Don’t buy a Chromebook for linux. While driver support usually isn’t an issue, the alternative keyboard layout is terrible for most applications. To even get access to all of the normal keys that many applications expect you need to configure multi-key shortcuts which varies in complexity based on your DE. In most cases it will also void your warranty because of the custom firmware requirement.
Koboldcpp should allow you to run much larger models with a little bit of ram offloading. There’s a fork that supports rocm for AMD cards: https://github.com/YellowRoseCx/koboldcpp-rocm
Make sure to use quantized models for the best performace, q4k_M being the standard.
The drive is visible to the OS so if they have any kind of management software in place which looks for hardware changes it will be noticed.
Entire metro series for $10.
This game gives me weird vibes. The studio already had 2 other games in early access before this one, both of which are seemingly abandoned or at a standstill development wise. The gameplay itself just kind of looks like a generic base building game but with Pokémon and guns. Most of the steam reviews are just making jokes about the knockoff elements, guns, animal cruelty, etc.
I honestly can’t tell if this game is actually good or if it’s just a brief trend.
Flatpak is good for diversity. Users don’t need to worry about whether the obscure distro they want to use has the software they want in its repos. If a distro supports flatpak it will work with most popular software out of the box.
a thorough investigation is planned beforehand in order to find out how Huawei was able to produce an advanced smartphone so quickly without relying on global supply chains
There’s no way a country of 1 billion people which already manufactures most of the world’s electronics could have possibly produced complex electronics.
Just introducing them to it is probably enough. Show them different desktop environments and applications to get them used to the idea of diverse interfaces and workflows. Just knowing that alternatives exist could help them break out of the Windows monoculture later. Enable all of the cool window effects.
Dropping support after only 25 years? I can’t believe Linux is contributing to planned obsolescence.
Smaller communities aren’t necessarily a bad thing. Compared to reddit I rarely feel like I’m commenting into the void.
Gamers truly are the most persecuted class.
From what I’ve heard they’re competitive for English but I’ve never used Deepspeech myself. Whisper has much more community support so it’s probably easier to use overall.
Whisper is your best bet for FOSS transcription. This is the most efficient implementation AFAIK: https://github.com/guillaumekln/faster-whisper.
Not even remotely. It requires custom firmware which often requires physical disassembly to install. From there you can install any distro, but you will continue to have many small issues and inconveniences often due to the nonstandard keyboard.
There was a Chromebook targeted Linux distro called eupnea that could be installed without custom firmware via depthboot, but it’s dead now and the original repo got deleted after the Dev got hacked, so the build scripts don’t work anymore.
There are 2 ways to do it, either via depthboot(software only, no custom firmware, lots of manual OS prep, 0 risk) or custom firmware(maybe physical, model dependant, no os prep, small risk). For custom firmware you usually have to either bridge an internal jumper, unplug the battery, or build a custom cable, depending on your model.
While it is allowed it’s not supported by google.
I would never recommend buying a Chromebook with the intention of replacing the OS unless you’re looking for a project or you’re getting it for cheap.
I’d guess the 3 key staff members leaving all at once without notice had something to do with it.
