I also started on Ubuntu. They used to be pretty great, good device support and basically no hassle. But I am done af and not going back.

Anecdotally I mostly hear that the cross-platform code doesn’t work so you end up needing to write platform specific implementations of everything anyway. But in Flutter. And it is harder to hire good talent for.

A lot of debs add services to systemd, do those just skip that part?

That attack surface is not vanishing. It’s would be relocating the same attack surface to something that might have an xz library in memory.

If we could get an LLM that uploads all our data along with an ad server in our desktop apps, then we’d really have something going.

I’m now weirdly self-aware of how often I say that. It is probably better if I don’t meet your friend.

This is one of the best things I’ve ever read.

I’d love to see a robots.txt do a couple safe listings, then a zip bomb, then a safe listing. It would be fun to see how many log entries from an IP look like get a, get b, get zip bomb… no more requests.

A Universal Blue derivative and rollback if there’s an issue is LTS enough for me.

For an LTS LTS, I’d be looking at Alma or Debian.

What is “way” out of date, in your mind? I thought all LTSes were on kernel version 5-something at the moment.

I like this distro a lot and want to learn about it. I’m actually using Bazzite rn.

But this format isn’t really grabbing me. It is actually kinda killing me inside. Like being at work peer programming when the other person has control of the inputs.

Are these medical professionals doing these injections? I don’t understand how it isn’t a full-on crime to inject anyone.

Incorrectly assuming something is a date

Have you been able to just drop Libreboot on whatever or do you specifically buy hardware that you know supports it? I wish to use Libreboot.

Nothing is overlaid directly on top of the content.

They will record it and upload it at your next service.

Oh, yep, that’s shady and bad behavior. Thank you.

FYI my understanding is that Incus is forked from LXD, because nobody trusts Canonical any longer. I don’t think LXD itself is them doing the thing that makes them untrustworthy.

You might be referring to something they have done since then, apologies if I misunderstood. Wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to make it a Snap or force Snaps into it.

It is absolutely a different situation if it is opt-in. If Ubuntu made Snaps opt-in, people might not like them but it’d be a minor critique instead of fleeing the distro.

How do you set up stable diffusion to run locally? I have been trying out llama.cpp for text and was looking for a similarly easy tool to try image generation.

I’m not sure if HIPAA requires medical providers to delete your data, let’s make certain to include that. It needs to act transitively. If you request deletion, the data must be gone from everyone they passed it on to, and so on. If they send it abroad and cannot enforce the deletion, let’s have some million-dollar fines per instance.

What the fuck, I have been brainwashed. Ludd et al were legit. We could have a really nice society but somehow the average person is irredeemably stupid to not join a movement such as that.
