Only a year? Come on LF! I know you’re just a soulless organisation there to provide employment for Torvalds, GKH and others, but you can at least make some SOME effort!!!

Of all the stupid money pit projects they could drop and focus on Firefox and Thunderbird… they drop privacy advocacy. Might as well drop the browser engine and MDN, to ensure Mozilla loses ALL positive impact on the world, yeah???

If anyone can share what caused the downvotes, I’d be very happy if you could let me know. Thanks.

CTT claims that Bluesky is great, but I’m just not into that type of social media so while I’m on Mastodon, I don’t actually use it.

You’re forgetting corporations. That’s where big money is at. Business and Government. If we can take away the Government, that would be nice.

Don’t forget Recall, aka literal spyware, taking screenshots of your device regardless of whether you’re entering passwords, making private searches, using TOR, opening sensitive documents, looking at private pictures. It’s all exposed.

I second that. Even my lower-midrange laptop from 3 years ago (8GB RAM, Integrated AMD GPU) can run a few of the smaller LLMs, and it’s true that you don’t even need a GPU as they can run in RAM. And depending on how much RAM you have and what GPU, you might find models performing better in RAM instead of on the GPU. Just keep in mind that when a model says, for example, 8GB Memory required, if you have 8GB RAM, you can’t run it cuz you also have your operating system and other applications running. If you have 8GB video memory on your GPU though, you should be golden (I think).

Right, so that was his plan all along?

Keep on promising a full self driving experience, which even now won’t really happen,

and then promising an affordable Tesla,

which he can then backtrack on?

Overpromise and underdeliver.

That’s the Musk motto.

Can’t wait to see him fail to bring humanity to Mars, and end up trying to credit himself when NASA do it.

I find vertical tabs to be more useful specifically when I have more tabs. Currently using vertical tabs on Vivaldi and I can see 28 and a half tabs without scrolling, which is pretty alright if you’re asking me. And Workspaces are quite helpful for the same reason.

For anyone curious, I currently have 2 workspaces at 8 tabs, 1 at 20, 1 at 25 and one at 82, which comes up to 143 tabs , plus 1 more tab in the default Workspace Vivaldi creates, coming up to 144 tabs.

IIRC, they expect to have it released in the first half of December if there are no issues or delays.

They’re not killing X11 support, don’t worry. They’re just expanding to Wayland support.

In my experience, projects going to Wayland actually improves performance and system resource usage. I got around 200Mb RAM back, when I switched from Qtile X11 to Qtile Wayland. 900Mb on XOrg, 700Mb on Wayland. These are with the same configuration and the same programs being autostarted.

I actually don’t know. I tried investigating the issue, using different users, or trying from a clean install, or without my configs. I’m not sure about the sources of my issues. I know that one of the issues I had was unrelated (Tabliss in Vivaldi), but I’m not sure if the Flatpak issues and the Steam & Lutris Gaming issues were related, but I don’t seem to have those issues on PopOS. For now at least. I haven’t done any gaming yet but the flatpaks seem to be okay.

Impressive! I’d like to use this moment to apologise for my assumptions as I’ve only used Trinity once, and assumed that it was unmaintained, given the old school UX and finding it was a fork of KDE3. I guess I was mistaken, and I’m happy that I was wrong! The more, the merrier!

Apparently running an update on Fedora. My flatpaks were broken on Fedora 40, so I thought it’s a configuration issue on my part and did a clean reinstall when Fedora 41 came out. Issues were not present… until I ran an update.

I’d suggest switching to open source apps or apps that work on Linux, maybe check up on the compatibility of games you play over at ProtonDB.

That will make your transition smoother.

Last update 27th Oct 2024? Trinity is still kicking around? I have so many questions…

Will there be Wayland support?

What is the purpose of it?

Does it even use later versions of Qt?

How lightweight is it (how much RAM and CPU does it use on a cold boot?)?

I completely forgot about the Linux Upskill Challenge! I should have mentioned I’ve been running Linux as my desktop operating system for almost 3 years, and I’ve been tinkering with it quite a lot throughout so I’m quite familiar and very comfortable with the command line. I shoukd go through the Linux upskill challenge so I can fill in any knowledge gaps though. Thanks for reminding me!

They’ll do it in 3-4 years, claiming it’s revolutionary, while they’re just catching up to the competition.
