Yes a little bit if you have an Nvidia card, and Bazzite has the option to boot right into a Steam Deck like interface which is great for controller gamers.

To be clear Mint is a totally fine choice too, but for gaming and especially for a total Linux newbie Bazzite is the choice.

Bazzite 100%. It’s the best out of the box gaming distro, and bonus points for immutability (not that your friend needs to know what that is).

Got a citation for that? Genuinely curious

A good example of how generators are designed to create passable outputs to people without experience.

Yeah I’m actually quite impressed. I can only find one weird smudgy bit (lower right).

I can see you care about this a lot, so please tell me; in your opinion at what point does a PC cease to be “self hosted”? When it’s carried across the property line? Maybe if the electricity bill is paid by a roommate?

ok thanks I’ll stay away from lemmy.zip

Love to see the people in here gatekeeping “selfhosting” 🙄

We’re all just out here trying to escape big tech. A docker container doesn’t suddenly stop becoming “selfhosted” once the hard drive it’s on crosses a property line. Who the hell cares, seriously.

Yeah I saw that… not really what I would consider a “web backup” exactly. I was hoping they were rolling out encrypted photo storage plans.

I can’t find anything about the web backups in the article or release notes.

I wish there was a decentralized nonprofit social media platform out there that cared more about interactions and exchange of ideas than endless feeds of engagement farming

Nobody likes a sealion.

Here’s the citation if you really need it. I’m not trying to argue, but the process of becoming more complex and specific to a niche is the literal definition of “evolution”:

“A gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form.”

“generators” is too generic but “AI” isn’t?

Based on historical examples of situations when a false narrative was perpetuated for the sake of convenience, and it assisted the person or group who benefited from the perpetuation of the false narrative.

If I’m reading correctly it sounds like you do agree with Stallman’s main point that a casual distinction is needed, you just disagree on the word itself (“ANI” vs “generator”).

But even so- surely you don’t believe that Generative AI programs and Hal 9000 are functionally identical? I just think it would be helpful to have a word that doesn’t lump those things together.

But why are you continuing to refer to “AI” as “LLMs”? If you believe the very act of even making a distinction between “AI” and “LLMs” is orthagonal?

A little cumbersome but gets the job done lol

90% of people have very little concept about what AI or LLM’s are in the first place.

Yeah I mean I agree, I think that’s why there needs to be a term that describes them.
