With Ollama, all you have do is copy an extra folder of ROCm files. Not hard at all.

With an AMD RX 6800 + 32gb DDR4, I can run up to a 34b model at an acceptable speed.

I feel like casual rudeness and insults have become more common as more people have come over from Reddit.

My distro struggles despite being one of the more widely-used and known. There are never enough people to do everything that needs to be done. And I see constantly that projects I care about don’t have enough help to fix bugs, test, or continue development. FOSS is a community effort. Not every user needs to be a professional, but everyone should learn enough about how a computer works to be able to contribute in some way. Everything being done by a few frustrated, overworked people isn’t healthy or sustainable.

FOSS software needs to be maintained by the user base to survive. Not enough people contributing is a big problem for many, if not most, open source projects, including the big names. If not enough people care enough to learn, the project dies out and disappears.

Very true! Good points.

After years of using Linux, the last time I used Vim, I remembered for the first time how to go into command mode, exit, and save the file I was editing without looking anything up.

I liked Snaps and Flatpaks fine when I first started using Linux, and the distro I was on treated them the same as software in the repo, but I eventually started to avoid them because of the space they take up, and because I got tired of constantly having to mess around with permissions to try to get things working. Now, if something isn’t available in rpm, I use AppImage or a tarball, or compile it myself.

You can edit system files with a GUI text editor by opening the containing folder as root in a GUI file manager, then opening the file you want to edit from there.

Personally, I enjoy having multiple options and being able to choose what meets my needs best.

What I’m thinking about is more that in Linux, it’s common to access URLs directly from the terminal for various purposes, instead of using a browser.

So if you try to access a website using this technology via terminal, what happens? The connection fails?

I use it on desktop when I’m trying to rephrase something I’ve written to make my meaning more clear or improve the flow.

I’ve seen BLT pizza, which sounds similar. I didn’t know salad pizza was a thing. It sounds like it might be really good or really bad depending on the freshness of the ingredients and the balance of softness to crispiness.

Never thought about potatoes on pizza, but potatoes are good in anything IMO.

In my experience, many people who don’t like or want kids choose to have them for other reasons: family pressure, trying to improve a romantic relationship, feeling like it’s the next step in life, etc. The children born as a result spend the rest of their lives with parents who don’t or can’t meet their emotional and/or physical needs. To me, that’s deeply morally wrong.

I don’t have kids because I’ve never especially liked them, and I think it’s morally wrong to have kids if you don’t like or want them.

At a professional office in the American South, I wouldn’t drink alcohol for lunch, but if a coworker brought some into the office, I’d have some.
