Fedora is a good thing to do with the way you are not a huge fan of the day it’s a good time to be there about 8 minutes from home so I can get it and I’ll be there in a few minutes from the store to the house it was a lot of fun with the kids and I don’t know what to do with the way it is a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of…
I’ll just toss in another answer nobody has mentioned yet:
Terminator and Matrix movies were really, really popular. This sort of seeded the idea of it being a sort of inevitable future into the brains of the mainstream population.
It depends on the task you give it and the instructions you provide. I wrote this a while back i find it gives a 10x in capability especially if u use a non aligned llm like dolphin 8x22b.
Ive cosplayed a handful of times. Maybe 4 or 5? Elektra Netflix version was most fun as someone gave me their sparing sais and I found other Netflix Daredevils at the time to pose pics with and pretend to spar.
I was Momo from My Hero Academia. A generic agent from Psychopass. The gun prop i have is fun. It flashes and talks. Jealous now though as there are some that transform. It was cool when I found other characters from the show.
Lastly, I was a terrorist from Counter Strike. I had rubber knives, grenade, sunglasses and I drew a mustache for myself!
I havent cosplayed in a while though and havent been to any conventions lately
I’m on Linux mint 22 and my audio outputs don’t change automatically. When I plug in USB headphones, audio won’t output to them unless I manually change it in settings.
Also, why can’t I interact with the panel applets (on the right side) while I’m in game? For example: I’m playing a game, I plug in my headphones, I have to manually change the audio output so I hit the “windows” key to bring up the panel, but I can’t interact with any of the applets on the right side of the panel (I can’t select the audio icon and change settings from there). I have to search audio settings in the panel then alt tab to it. It’s really cumbersome

Half your posts are specific questions to a specific game which could be answered by searching Google. Such posts do not promote open discussion.
And you might need to check your spelling a bit.
If you had a post like ‘I really love Red Dead Redemption 2 (note spelling is correct here) for (insert mission here)’, other Lemmy users might chime in with their own favourites.
So you need to curate your posts a bit. Maybe stick to commenting for the time being.
I don’t think it’s fair to OP to criticize their spelling. English may not be their first language. Even if it was, we shouldn’t penalize people for making innocent mistakes.
I understand your concern. I wouldn’t be criticising their spelling in the main body of the post, but at the very least they should be spell checking the title. An occasional typo is usually forgiving but if the Lemmy feed is showing a post with many spelling mistakes it’s not going to go down well.
Learning spelling and ensuring it is correct is part of learning a language.
If I was posting in a Chinese forum, I would be very careful to ensure the Chinese characters are correct. Differences in minor radicals can make all the difference, e.g. 慢 and 漫 are distinctively different words. It’s a different kind of spell checking.
I’ll admit I didn’t go through that many of OPs posts when I made my original comment to you so I took a closer look. It looks like OPs titles suffer from bad grammar more than bad spelling. The only real spelling mistakes I found was “redemtion” on a few of OPs posts which can be excusable if you’re just spelling it how it sounds. I 100% agree with you people should do their best to proofread their posts, especially titles. I just don’t feel it’s justification enough to downvote someone.
Right. If and when I post in French or Spanish or Gaelic on a sub that is more than a language practice, though - in consideration of the reader - I’ll have my stuff checked. It’ll be by an AI, so there’s the hallucination risk, but at least I’ll have it checked. Even grammarly is a train wreck for non-american English, but it’s good for catching the really bad mistakes in English and maybe others.
I don’t see where someone’s criticizing for writing in a second language. I see where someone is expressing worry about content posted without getting it checked. Do we not want our questions to be read? Do we not want to make it as easy to get an answer as possible?

I genuinely think the best practical use of AI, especially language models is malicious manipulation. Propaganda/advertising bots. There’s a joke that reddit is mostly bots. I know there’s some countermeasures to sniff them out but think about it.
I’ll keep reddit as the example because I know it best. Comments are simple puns, one liner jokes, or flawed/edgy opinions. But people also go to reddit for advice/recommendations that you can’t really get elsewhere.
Using an LLM AI I could in theory make tons of convincing recommendations. I get payed by a corporation or state entity to convince lurkers to choose brand A over brand B, to support or disown a political stance or to make it seem like tons of people support it when really few do.
And if it’s factually incorrect so what? It was just some kind stranger™ on the internet
If by “best practical” you meant “best unmitigated capitalist profit optimization” or “most common”, then sure, “malicious manipulation” is the answer. That’s what literally everything else is designed for.
I do not, but I read an article within the last year or so saying that it’s doable on a few models – this one dealt with the Thinkpad you’re talking about – but has a lot of stumbling blocks.
Getting it to boot from SSD is an epic undertaking, involving entering a UEFI firmware shell and manually going through 30 or 40 entries to find and enable the right UEFI boot entry, but after hours of searching and countless reboots, it worked, and Debian would start. Unfortunately, when booting the installed OS, the screen blanked after just a few lines of output, never to return. The OS was running – for instance, pressing the power button led to a clean shutdown after a few seconds – but with no display, not even a text one, we couldn’t configure a Wi-Fi connection, and the machine has no built-in Ethernet port.
I’d add that I was was initially somewhat interested in ARM hardware, but I’ve cooled a lot on it.
For me, and I suspect a number of others, power efficiency is the main appeal.
First, even on Linux, where a lot of software is open-source and some distros have ARM builds, there’s a lot of closed-source software out there, like Steam games, that are x86-based and won’t ever be ARM, and if you’re emulating x86, your power-efficiency benefits go away.
Second, the ARM world is more SoC-oriented, so you don’t have the ecosystem of drivers for modular hardware that plays nicely, and a lot of SoC data isn’t available. This is not a minor issue. An ARM system is not just an x86 system with a slightly-different processor. Whole different world.
With Arm support, it greatly depends on the specific boards as well as its general popularity. It isn’t at all as well standardized like x86 is. Each device takes at least some amount of unique customization, even before you get into the video and other hardware drivers, often not open source. ie Qualcomm.
An image for a Thinkad X13S won’t necessarily work or even boot on a Lenovo Flex-5G, for example.
The good news is that there are growing numbers of people hacking on these to get better support and usability.
For the X13s, at least. My Flex 5G does not seem to be very popular, lol.
I think this point is often underappreciated - if ARM is to take off for personal computing, there’s a lot of standardization work yet to be done.
Third, for a lot of software, what matters is single-thread performance. And x86 is ahead there.
Fourth, I was recently in a discussion with someone on here and they informed me that the power-efficiency gap has narrowed (at least on Apple’s ARMs, dunno about all ARM sysyems) since Apple’s M1 release, when it was more-significant. I haven’t looked into that, but given that that was the major selling point, it also gave me pause.
EDIT: All that being said, I am totally onboard with wanting laptops with long battery life and the state of things in 2024 is a favorite pet peeve. I would very much like to have a laptop with beefy batteries in the vein of some of the older Thinkpads. I had a T460 or something with two batteries, one removable and where one could get a larger battery that just hung out the back. That was fantastic. Getting a laptop with a single fixed 100Wh battery is very difficult these days, and pretty much nonexistent outside of power-hungry gaming systems that will burn through even the larger battery in short order. Getting a multi-battery system that can be expanded (even past 100Wh) is pretty much only the domain of a few very expensive “ruggedized” laptops like the Panasonic ToughBook.
I’m not sure whether that’s because the typical consumer:
Does not care about battery life, like, uses their laptop never far from a plug.
Just doesn’t consider battery life when buying a laptop.
Is willing to live with swapping USB PD power stations in. The problem here is that while there is actually a USB device class for power sources that permits a battery bank to report remaining capacity – I checked this in the USB spec the other day – (though I don’t know whether Linux can use this, map it to a /sys/class/power_supply device the way it can ACPI batteries), I haven’t been able to find anyone who actually implements this on their power station and advertises it. No power stations that I own implement it. And I want things like my laptop telling me remaining time to keep working, which they cannot, absent that information.
