use Linux without a DE. […] (/j)

… actually (tip fedora hat) not but seriously actually most of what we NEED is fine that way. It sounds ludicrous then you try Sxmo on a phone and you can’t help but GENUINELY wonder “Damn… did I get scammed all those years?”

Because people ask for an IDE, rather than an editor, I will say :

Vim + terminal(s) + containerization (e.g. Docker CLI, Python venv) + live reloading (e.g. nodemon or inotify or in the browser using e.g. server side events) + repository management (e.g. git in CLI to juggle between branches, push/pull local/remotely)

IMHO this is very VERY light (0 wait even on a RPi Zero) and yet very flexible.

Also most of that can be “saved” via e.g screen the CLI tool, allowing to have named windows in a terminal and a lot more than to e.g. screen -raAD, locally or remotely.

What games specifically? Just replied https://lemmy.ml/post/23699393/15632445 literally minutes ago

I work in VR, I play in VR, including Windows games, all on Linux. No specific problem for me on that front.

The only bastion left is anticheat. Everything else are just (bad) old habits fueled by marketing.

in any way shape or form

I’d normally accept the challenge if you didn’t add that. You did though and it, namely a system (arguably intelligent) made an image, several images in fact. The fact that we dislike or like the aesthetics of it or that the way it was done (without prompt) is different than how it currently is remains irrelevant according to your own criteria, which is none. Anyway my point with AARON isn’t about this piece of work specifically, rather that there is prior work, and this one is JUST an example. Consequently the starting point is wrong.

Anyway… even if you did question this, I argued for more, showing that I did try numerous (more than 50) models, including very current ones. It even makes me curious if you, who is arguing for the capabilities and their progress, if you tried more models than I did and if so where can I read about it and what you learned about such attempts.

Language models on their own do indeed have lots of limitations, however there is a lot of potential in coupling them with other types of expert systems.

Absolutely, I even have a dedicated section “Trying to insure combinatoriality/compositionality” in my notes on the topic https://fabien.benetou.fr/Content/SelfHostingArtificialIntelligence

Still, while keeping this in mind we also must remain mindful of what each system can actually do, not conflate with what we WANT it do yet it can not do yet, and might never will.

Image gen did not exist in any way shape or form before.

Typical trope while promoting a “new” technology. A classic example is 1972’s AARON https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AARON which, despite not being based on LLM (so not CLIP) nor even ML is still creating novel images. So… image generation has been existing since at least the 70s, more than half a century ago. I’m not saying it’s equivalent to the implementation since DALLE (it is not) but to somehow ignore the history of a research field is not doing it justice. I have also been modding https://old.reddit.com/r/computationalcrea/ since 9 years, so that’s before OpenAI was even founded, just to give some historical context. Also 2015 means 6 years before CLIP. Again, not to say this is the equivalent, solely that generative AI has a long history and thus setting back dates to grand moments like AlphaGo or DeepBlue (and on this topic I can recommend Rematch from Arte) … are very much arbitrary and in no way help to predict what’s yet to come, both in terms of what’s achievable but even the pace.

Anyway, I don’t know what you actually tried but here is a short list of the 58 (as of today) models I tried https://fabien.benetou.fr/Content/SelfHostingArtificialIntelligence and that’s excluding the popular ones, e.g. ChatGPT, Mistal LeChat, DALLE, etc which I also tried.

I might be making “the same mistake” but, as I hope you can see, I do keep on trying what I believe is the state of the art of a pretty much weekly basis.

What an impressive waste of resources. It’s portrayed as THE most important race and yet what has been delivered so far?

Slightly better TTS or OCR, photography manipulation that is commercially unusable because sources can’t be traced, summarization that can introduce hallucinations, … sure all of that is interesting in terms of academic research, with potentially some use cases… but it’s not as if it didn’t exist before at nearly the same quality for a fraction of the resources.

It’s a competitions where “winners” actually don’t win much, quite a ridiculous situation to be in.

Did too until recently, started to switch to qpdf aqs it seems more openly maintained while doing about the same job with, arguably, clearer documentation than pdftk.

Interesting, was searching for anybody who mentioned LFS/Linux From Scratch leading here. Doesn’t seem active anymore though.

True… but if there is 1 command that makes learning Linux faster, it’s this one.

Very cool, does it have an iOS client? Or can the official iOS client use that control server?

Edit: yes, wonderful! https://headscale.net/usage/connect/apple/#configuring-the-headscale-url

Also consider that you can just try and if you don’t like it, remove it. It can be a weekend fun exploration together.

I’m not familiar with Bazzite but I do have a SteamDeck with SteamOS and I do have things installed on it. There is for it 2 ways :

• keep binaries in home, e.g. ~/bin/rclone because that does not get deleted on updates
• allowing SteamOS to not be read-only and add a package. Here it seems to be via ujust but I don’t see rclone in there so I’d go down their list https://docs.bazzite.gg/Installing_and_Managing_Software/ and it seems brew install rclone would work.

Can rely on https://rclone.org/webdav/ too.

Answering this very question using Tridactyl for Firefox.

It’s not OS-wide but I spend so much time switching from browser to terminal, it might as well be.

https://tridactyl.xyz/build/static/docs/modules/_src_excmds_.html

Also for the keyboard itself I use a Corne-ish Zen, which allows me to use ZMK and thus have my own keymap https://github.com/Utopiah/zmk-config-zen-2/blob/main/config/corneish_zen.keymap

I use KDE which with Super+T brings up tiling options.

Regarding the “API” aspect, a trick I used few times to be able to remote control a desktop in VR is xdotool but it’s honestly quite tedious. Without some accessibility solution implemented in apps themselves, I doubt it’s reliable.

FWIW I do use a PineTab2 on a daily basis and… it works. I can warmly recommend it but some caveats :

• WiFi didn’t work for a while, it’s good now though (mostly stable, AFAICT no instability for me)
• BT still does not work (not ideal if you need a mouse)
• USB-C is a single port for charging, single port for devices, iirc usb-C hubs don’t work, only usb-C to A single converters
• it’s… not fast, so if your workflow is a bit of Web browser or a text editor great, if it’s Blender or Gimp or anything that can be a bit demanding, it might test your patience
• WebCam does not work, problematic if you have to do video calls

Overall while keeping such limitations in mind, still recommended! (if you can get it shipped somehow)
