Ah yes, the famously communist Russian Federation. The RF is nakedly an imperial fascist regime that doesn’t even have communist window dressing, it boggles the mind that self-proclaimed communists and anti-imperialists support them.

  • Every now and again a voice comes into my head telling me to install Arch.

  • Nobara works ootb too if you ever want to try a fedora spin. they even have a separate installer for nvidia users.

  • Is there an actor you can't stand? Do they have any exceptions?

    Jump

  • I can't stand Eddie Redmaine. I don't know why, I dislike the lower part of his face a lot, especially his lips. I can't deny that he's a pretty good actor tho.

    And all of the Scientology freaks, especially Tom Cruise, who can't even act. I don't know how he even got near a set from the beginning.

  • So the recent hate towards Pedro Pascal is JK and her loyalists making shit up because he spoke out that she's an awful person?

    Jump

  • I didn't recognize the name either until @[email protected] said who he is, after which my brain cells told me that i knew that before. e: but i'm notoriously bad at remembering actors names and faces - i often do not care enough to remember them, even in stuff i like; if i remember single actors, i stored that information primarily per cultural osmosis.

  • there's a pinned post on the lidarr discord server:

    Hi everyone, it's July 25. Yesterday, the devs and mod team here have begun (early) alpha testing of the new Lidarr metadata server. In general, things are working fairly well. There are a few issues to resolve before it can go live. But we wanted to let everyone know that we have some concrete forward movement happening behind the scenes. NOTE: This stage of testing is NOT OPEN to users. We appreciate your patience, but at this stage you cannot help. This update is meant to let you know that the project is not dead, as some have incorrectly theorized, and that there is behind-the-scenes work heading toward getting the new metadata server up and running as quickly as possible. Please continue to be patient, and continue to use this channel for Lidarr support questions. If you have other conversation topics, please use ⁠general or another more appropriate channel for that. Thank you from the devs and mod team

    so it's not dead, but it might take a bit until the new metadata server is available.

    e: there are also singular reports in the last days on the lidarr subreddit from people on the development branch that it occasionally works, so might be that there is movement behind the curtain.

  • I have 3 screens:

    1. Main screen for whatever i'm doing incl Browser
    2. Gaming screen wiith Steam and Heroic Launcher
    3. Comms - Signal, emaiil, discord, everything KDE Connect
    4. random shit not fitting anywere
    5. Piracy town: qbittorent, jdownloader, Browser with MANY sources

    The second one has many many status widgets, Dolphin, fSearch and a Firefox window that's my media player, always in the background without any title bars or borders running the deezer webpage as WPA

    The third one is connected with a 10m HDMI cable and is not running often, is just used to watch movies :-)

  • How do I survive a work day without caffeine?

    Jump

  • hmm the coffee doesn't sound like it is prepared well for you. you might wanna try a french press, which has a way finer taste!

  • if getting psychogically profiled and targeted does not count as harassment (i do count it as such) then you are right.

  • Have you ever cried because of a video game?

  • Nier Automata. 2 Times, first at ending A (2B's voice actress performance was making me feel the griefing), and then again at the true ending because of the implied message.

    I said yes.

  • thanks for the suggestion - i like that man pages are thorough, but the probability that i need some option that 0,5% of users need is pretty low for now

  • you know that data is being sold to hundreds of third parties, right? I`m pretty sure that more people get access to that data than there are lemmy users. but you do you, mate

  • you can be sure that reddit tracks you; often you cant even open it when using a vpn. they have an approximate location from your ip, possible movement data when their client is on your phone, and then they enrich their data with external datasets. those are then sold. reddit is a bit more private than facebook, but not as much as you believe. all those sources combined mean they pretty much know who you are.

  • a) many people swear by it - is it so useless then? it's a personal question, and the answer is not the same for everyone. ChatGPT is one of the most downloaded apps worldwide, so to assume that all of those people do not gain something from it cannot be right. b) people do a lot of useless things that all have a climate cost, but noone bats an eye when someone says they watched 2 hours of 4k video, which uses a lot more ressources than Chatbots. c) chatbots that noone interacts with do not consume resources in a meaningful way, since you have to make a request for that - the greeting will be hardcoded in 99% of cases. d) i agree that the amount of VC money inflates AI usage, but VC money does this with everything: dotcom bubble, 2008 crash (housing bubble), crypto bubble, nft bubble... the difference here is that people actually have personal use scenarios, regardless of VC money. e) I agree that opt-in should be the default, i'm no fan of google's bot, but i actually just don't use google, i use mullvad leta for most things, and i'm waiting for the rollout of the european search index that qwant and ecosia created - it went live in france recently and i'm excited to try it out when it starts here!

    You know what's funny? i don't even use ChatGPT, i rely on locally running models - and i'm pretty sure my GPU is less efficient than the setup in a data center.

  • i had no car my entire life and have flown 4 times (i like trains lol).

    Ok, something nearly everyone does - washing clothes.

    A 500W washing machine uses this amount of energy in 10.8 seconds during the spin cycle.

    Using a dryer? 4.3 seconds@3000W.

    If we look at the equivalent mechanical energy, lets look at your bike (you gotta eat to offset the energy loss, causing emissions through agriculture and cooking!)

    You can generate a Chatbot response by pedaling ~2 minutes@100W power!

    The chips are already pretty optimized, since they are in principle not different to high-end gaming GPU's. I have a 3070 TI, and i can generate a complex response locally in under a minute @ 290W TDP, 30-40 seconds if i use something like qwen 2.5, which aligns pretty well with what i've said before. Playing a video game uses a lot more power.

  • But even with a loss leader you cannot crank up the price stupidly high if the costs per request were prohibitive; ChatGPT subscriptions cost 20$/month. API pricing for the most expensive option is 10k$/1Million Tokens, so it's a buck per 100 tokens.
