Bullying, weather it is physical, intellectual or emotional…it just grinds my gears.

A fine use of the tool. You could almost consider it PPE.

I do similar, I’m not a professional, I use the LLM as a tool to enhance my abilities

The whole vibe coder thing is weird…it is like a hobby woodworker who has powerful tools but doesn’t really know what they are doing, yes you can knock together a functional table, but it doesn’t look that nice.

I want to do this, it is next on my list when I get some time to myself. I have a game that I am playing and it would be cool to generate a character picture.

I am terrible at drawing so it is not really something I can do manually.

I’m running ollama 0.6.3 (pre-release) and rocm v6.10.5 on linux 6.11.0-21

Still getting

level=INFO source=gpu.go:377 msg=“no compatible GPUs were discovered”

chat to start with

But sshfs also works across the internet…quick and dirty file access from anywhere in the world. If you can SSH to a machine, you can get a mountable file system.

Also samba can’t distinguish between /foo/ and /Foo/ which is a pretty small issue… except when it isn’t.

I used to run Ubuntu, but started liking it less and less.

After jumping around for a while, I settled on Mint. It is really nice, stable and easy to use for beginners, but everything is there for advanced users also.

What are people doing with their laptops, mine never break, except one time when I knocked a cup of water into one in 2005.

My latest one, Asus Zenbook is already 3 years old and no issues. Has a dent in the top cover where a nurse kicked my bag when I was in hospital.

My previous one, a dell Inspiron which my 9yo has had for 2 years, is 6 years old, he is not gentle.

Previous to that, I had a work supplied Alienware that lasted 7 years, I traveled internationally with that one quite a few times.

Not sure if I’m lucky, or more careful than average. But I hear about “build quality” issues a lot in internet posts. I’ve just never seen it in the wild…

Note: all ran/run various flavours of Linux.

True, but I was suggesting Flatseal, more for once the issue was resolved.

If you are looking to mess with what your flatpaks can do, Flatseal it is really nice for managing permissions, for your flatpaks.

It may not be what you are looking for, but though I would drop it in just in case.

Mint.

I have my mum (67) and my partner using it.

Libre office and Firefox cover 99.9% of all the things mum actually does.

My partner uses blender, krita and audacity also.

Auto updates… Almost no tech support.

This would be really great.

Commercial applications and a donations framework.

Mmmm mm, that is one tasty gender identity.

Say cishet one more time motherfucker

I felt the confirmation bias extremely when I read “Ultraprocessed people: the science of food that isn’t food”

I had been calling if a “food like product” for decades before reading the book. As in “that’s not food, it is a food like product”.

I made the switch in 2010.

I dual booted for a while, one day I realised that I hadn’t booted into windows for 3 months. At that point I reinstalled, no more dual booting. I haven’t looked back.

I keep a windows VM, currently has Win10 installed, I haven’t had to use it in about 3 years.

My advice is, keep dual booting. One day you’ll realise that booting into windows feels like a chore, you haven’t done it in months, so why keep it around…

Hybrid is best.

I use the GUI quite a lot.

But some things are just easier in CLI, especially if you have to do that thing often.

The other reason to use the command line is automation, it is very easy to write a bash script and run it as often as needed, if every day at midday you want to update something CLI is much easier.

e.g everyday at 2am, my rsync script runs to backup my important files.
e.g 2, I have a small script to combine all the pdf’s in the current directory into a single file using pdftk. It is so much faster than any graphical way.

I had a similar issue, running Mint.

It took me a while, but I tracked it to a buggy firmware on the nvme SSD (WD black 4000). Once I updated the firmware, all the stability issues disappeared.

If your system in under heavy disk load when the issue appears, take a look at your SSD firmware.
