  • I think nobody wants AI in Firefox, Mozilla

  • If I can pick my own API (including local) and sampling parameters

    You can do this now:

    • selfhost ollama.
    • selfhost open-webui and point it to ollama
    • enable local models in about:config
    • select "local" instead of ChatGPT or w/e.

    Hardest part is hosting open-webui because AFAIK it only ships as a docker image.

    Edit: s/openai/open-webui

  • CPU barely detected

    Jump

  • I think the overtightened heatsink theory is correct. I got it for an LGA1155 motherboard and it needed an adaptor for AM4 which has no safety springs so you can just keep tightening it with no indication of what's too tight.

    There's also some sort of dirt on the center left edge that I cleaned out after taking this. I just used isopropyl and a softened (used) toothbrush. After doing that I got a channel of memory back. There's three sticks in the pic because I was trying to determine which channel was bad.

    Update: Wow cleaning that bit of gunk really made a difference. I'm back to using the original Ryzen 5700. Really weird that it wasn't an issue in the old build.

  • Its like that but way too sensitive. I've deliberately been gentle and it will still fail especially if I set it upright with fans on the heatsink.

  • Linux PC Occasionally completely freezes

    Jump

  • To build on this, it would help to install some sort of system monitoring to check temps, fanspeed, system usage and have those constantly going so OP can check for any red flags during a freeze.

  • Idk about that. In my case I believe my CPU was defective from the start and I lived with it because I always assumed it was my OS in some way.

    If your CPU has seven years of not randomly freezing and its just doing that now then I wouldn't suspect the CPU.

    However, unless you find some clues from journalctl -xeb1 or dmesg I would assume its faulty hardware somewhere.

  • Last time for me it was a bad CPU. Lived with it until I upgraded my CPU and recycled the old one into a new build. Then that one was having the same issue.

  • Incoming KMT chair doubles down on 'Putin was elected' remarks - Focus Taiwan

    Jump

  • In the context of discussing cross-strait relations during the DW interview, Cheng criticized President Lai Ching-te (賴清德) and the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), saying "their words and actions could very well turn Taiwan into a second Ukraine."

    When Tsou then asked her whether it was Putin who decided to start the war in Ukraine, Cheng replied, "Of course not."

    "The core reason the war broke out and continues today is NATO's repeated eastward expansion," Cheng said.

    Cheng contended that if Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and allied countries had long ago abandoned plans to let Ukraine join NATO, "none of this would have happened."

    Eyebrow raising to hear this coming from the KMT given their long history with the US.

  • ArchInstall Recommended to Use?

    Jump

  • I don't recommend it for first time users. Going through the install process is basically the tutorial level for Arch. The arch install scripts are for shortcutting an install process you're already familiar with. If you want arch with a no pain installer use something like EndeavourOS.

    For example, I've used Arch for years, and tried experiment with BTRFS using the archinstall script. I deeply regretted it because it didn't configure SWAP correctly so my laptop couldn't hibernate. I had to rip out zram and put in a swapfile.

    You must have an idea of what its going to do before using it. In the case of you're bloated KDE install, it installed the full kde package group, which almost no one wants. You could use the archinstall script to install everything but the graphical environment and then do that yourself, post install.

  • How is transmaxxing being used to perpetuate transphobia?

    The problem with the “transmaxxing” theory is that it does not contend with the realities of living as a trans woman in a systemically transphobic and misogynistic world. Trans people are subjected to disproportionately higher rates of violence and experience increased levels of housing insecurity in comparison to their peers. Contrary to these statistical realities, Vintologi writes “trans women will benefit from the increasing female privilege.” This supposed privilege has no factual basis as all women are still the subject of discrimination and violence (sexual and otherwise) on the basis of their sex, while being paid an average of 85 cents on the dollar when compared to their cis male counterparts.

  • We put the Thing That Can't Do Numbers™ in your spreadsheets

    Jump

  • That's not just limited to excel. The basic value of computers is how deterministic they are. AI is just probability programs that are reintroduce chaos into the system.

  • We put the Thing That Can't Do Numbers™ in your spreadsheets

    Jump

  • I'm pretty sure it just replaces itself with what it thinks is the correct Excel expression. That way the use can audit and correct the AI's work (and Microsoft isn't liable for miscalculations). Firing off to co-pilot every evaluation would be insanely irresponsible.

  • Again the weasely insinuation that we secretly wanted Trump to win and not for Biden to stop funding genocide. Did you want the genocide to continue?

    Jump

  • There's absolutely way more simply apathetic non-voters who saw two candidates promising more austerity and genocide and said "shits fucked yo" and didn't bother. You can call those people stupid but you'd be dumber for thinking that will get them to vote for your candidate.

    If anything the uncommitted campaign was warning about that.

    Jump

  • Oh so we must've secretly just wanted Trump to win because...? Or maybe we just wanted Biden to stop funding a genocide?

    Maybe there's a lesson here for you to learn. Something about "electability". When people say "I won't vote for anyone who sponsors genocide" they aren't bluffing.

  • You're doing genocide apologia by insinuating people who opposed genocide are Russian bots. Maybe think about what your doing with your life.

  • “Everyone must go!” protesters chanted when they reached congress

    Proper journalism would try harder to explain the protestors demands. You really should heed thrm after they ousted one president just a week ago.

  • Tbh Biden could've shut them up pretty easily by not spending tax payer money on genocide. Sounds like the best of both worlds to me.
