XFCE with Compiz with all the 3D effects enabled lol.

If you want wayland then wayfire is supposed to be the spiritual successor, but it’s still technically beta software.

I got my 32gb DDR4 3600 for $60 2 years ago and four 2Tb NVME SSDs for $115 a pop last year.

The ram is now $335 and the NVMEs aren’t even in production anymore after they ran out of stock during the end of 2025 buyout. The closest equivalent is going from $400-$500 each these dsys.

It’s not reliable enough to actually automate anything

This is half true. It’s not reliable enough to automate an entire job but it is reliable enough to automate tasks that would otherwise take a lot of time, usually related to sifting or searching data.

If I need to look through a massive set of data like Google for something thst I can only describe with an explanation, the LLM will do a much faster job actually finding what you need rather thsn spending an hour manually sorting through SEO slop.

You don’t even need the cloud models for this, you can slap SearXNG onto a local model at home.

It’s basically just an autocomplete search on steroids which is its biggest advantage. Any documentation you need is immediately accessible, which is especially useful if you have zero experience with something niche or new.

Now actually getting the LLM to consistently generate output is a completely different story lol.

We call that vibe coding.

Thst branding reminds me of the extensive complaints of Anubis beeing too weaboo for production applications lol.

The only thing I’m gonna try investing in from this AI shitshow is China’s CXMT RAM since they have a good chance of shanking both Nvidia and the RAM thug monopoly lol.

Actually experts recommend keeping it closed in the event of a fire lol

Haha also had this saved.

No luck finding it on my other devices either, really wish I had downloaded it :/

wtf? Half the post is nuked even after being locked. I don’t even see how such a small community can be so stuck up about relevancy and purity washing selfhosted as if we all own our own DNS registrars and can do outbound SMTP.

Yo dawg I heard you like DHMO…

Even if we ignore the scifi horror of outsourcing our collective intelligence to an AI and assume such a hypothetical AI can solve every problem and essentially do every job for us, it would need to build a society where working for an income is no longer required, which is absolutely not what’s happening lol.

Leather jacket Huang and Scam Altman just want to make morbillion dollars in a race to become the first trillionaire. They don’t or refuse to recognize the long term effects of destroying the very fabric that makes their businesses profitable just like every other investment gamble has. If no one has a job, they don’t have money to spend on product and services from your businesses, or your business clients’ businesses.

Alas, line must go up.

Anyone else think of this lol?

NYP headlines will aleays be funny but stop calling them a newspaper. It’s a tabloid lol.

MS was anything but lol, they had a swarm of lawsuit dramas over by then. Only Apple glazed MS because they quite literally saved them from bankruptcy which they only did as insurance against a proper antitrust case.

Google was newer but they also weren’t a private company, they were riding silicon valley money to the moon.

Regardless, Steam is a monopoly but their immediate competitors are the only ones chucking anti competitve measures around like crappy DRM and price lockins.

There was a funnier one with GOG enjoying itself in the corner and the complaining party being Epic lol

Yeah have fun with your shitty triple buffer and unsupported arbitrary monitor angles lol.

about alpha this and that.

Most of wayland’s features like HDR weren’t implemented until literally last year. I have forum threads 3 times older than this lemmy account on how slow wayland progress was.

Wake me up when Wayfire goes stable and I’ll happily switch in superior XFCE performant style.

It was one of the dumb “kick the can to downstream because muh security & effort” things which is why support for it really only came recently: https://dec05eba.com/2024/03/29/wayland-global-hotkeys-shortcut-is-mostly-useless/

I’m sure it will eventually get better, but like all of the things wrong with wayland can be summed up as “alpha protocol subject to change plz to not use (introduced: 7 years ago)” with “Options: alpha-protocol-kde, protocol-gnome-thing, protocol-whatshouldhavebeeninweston7yearsagoyoutwat (sway), protocol-hyprland-memelol-v2”

I like how it has several widespread generations of intel processors and then just one random AMD A4 for good measure lol

Yes and no, it depends on what it is and what you are doing.

Focusing on close objects like displays and even books for long periods of time can cause you to lose sharpness in your eyes against far reaching objects. Hence why corrective eye glasses were often associated with those who spent a lot of time reading or studying in universities.

However, VR and especially AR glasses project the image at a certain focal length that makes the object appear further away, causing your eyes to contract accordingly like you were actually focusing on a real object 10 feet away.

That being said, 10 feet only gives you the same effect as sitting far from the TV. They really should try bumping it to 50-100 feet so that it really shows up like a giant projector screen in the distance.

Conversely, you should spend time touching grass and looking into the distance at infinity so that your eyes keep their dynamic range of focus, especially if you spend all day working on a PC monitor that’s probably less than a yard/meter from your face/

I’m still on XFCE + Compiz because Wayfire doesn’t support global hotkeys (more of wayland’s fault) nor does it have 3d windows for the cube effect.

I upgraded to an RTX Quadro 4000 on my media server (from a 750ti) and it still doesn’t support AV1 lmao.

Even last time I was on PC partpicker, the top beefy 10k USD media chonker machine was targeting a specific CPU for cheap AVX512 support because apparently it was required for heavy AV1 work, which I assume meant the GPUs couldn’t keep up.
