I evangelize Linux irl by simply keeping my computer always tuned up, up to date and working well. It's inevitable that someone's windows or mac shitbook will do something shitty and people will pay attention to me just for not having the same problems as them. For example the other day by brother wanted to watch spongebob, his macbook wouldn't let him connect to the TV so I plugged it right in to Arch Linux and it worked like a charm. Sometimes the superiority of Linux simply speaks for itself.

All I know is that life is hard but things could be a lot harder so I'm never having kids so I can focus on looking out for myself. Things could be a whole lot better too. The last thing any government deserves is for us to reward and enable them by birthing more babies.

If he can bankrupt a casino hopefully he can bankrupt the entire republican regime

Stop having kids. Doing away with most modem technology to save the planet, if that's what they really want to do, is in no way shape or form even remotely sustainable with this many people on the planet aka mouths to feed. In fact look at current costs of living vs wages. Climate issues aside things aren't even sustainable as it is and that's without extreme downsizing.

Idk, I just hope the Republicans aren't successful at putting a stop to current legalization progress. Fucking fascists. Alcohol kills.

My brother tried to use his macbook to put spongebob on the TV and it wouldn't let him due to drm reasons. Don't let this shit become the new normal. It's GNU Linux or nothing for me.

Is there a FOSS way to do this yet?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Probably stable diffusion. You can self host either stable diffusion or easy diffusion. Easy diffusion runs on stable diffusion but its easier to deal with, the only caveat is that it isn't compatible with lycoris models.

Snap is stupid, slow and lame. I stopped using Ubuntu just because I hate snaps. I just want to install my programs the normal way and avoid issues.

If they never release the source, including all the fpga verilog files then this is pointless to the open source community.

Edit: actually I just realized my comment is kind of pointless. Even if he released the fpga source code, a thing a lot of projects like these never do, it still wouldn't be possible to reproduce one of these using only free and open source software. This is because the only fpgas that let you program them using open source software and not a locked-down windows-only bloatfuck program that needs an internet connection and licensing are the lattice ice40 fpgas. Tl;dr this can't be fully "open source".

I wonder if it would be possible to make an ice 40 based video card that could still do opengl.

Fuck yes. When normal modern video cards start costing too much for the common person to afford, at least we'll still be able to play quake.
