Do you have the fwupdmgr app? On Lenovo laptops, I think you can just use sudo fwupdmgr update.

This is supposedly the stable release. Same problem?

I’ve been pondering messing around with Vanilla for a while. Anyone who’s already done so, what was your experience?

I mean, I guess the way people use the term “AI” these days, sure, but we’re really beating all specificity out of the term.

Software developer, here.

It’s not actually AI. A large language model is essentially autocomplete on steroids. Very useful in some contexts, but it doesn’t “learn” the way a neural network can. When you’re feeding corrections into, say, ChatGPT, you’re making small, temporary, cached adjustments to its data model, but you’re not actually teaching it anything, because by its nature, it can’t learn.

I’m not trying to diss LLMs, by the way. Like I said, they can be very useful in some contexts. I use Copilot to assist with coding, for example. Don’t want to write a bunch of boilerplate code? Copilot is excellent for speeding that process up.

I have one computer in my house that has been running the same installation of Arch for eight years. I occasionally upgrade hardware components as needed, and will eventually take a full disk image and transfer it to an entirely new system once I’ve reached the limit of how much I can ship-of-Theseus it.

Never had a single problem with it in all that time.

That’s… basically what they’re doing. “ChromeOS” is basically just going to be a desktop-friendly UI on Android.

Would upvote for the news. Will downvote for the picture.

Picture removed. Upvoted.

I think that’s actually the goal. If they can get a single core OS working on all their devices, that cuts down a lot on the difficulty of things like application development and security patches.

Arch Linux user here to say… Ubuntu’s fine, man. Love all the derivatives that can take advantage of the core Ubuntu system (e.g., Mint, which I’ve installed for family members).

I love Arch. I use it all the time. I will not inflict it on any family members.

If you count light outside of the human visible spectrum, it’s bright pretty much everywhere. Like, getting away from light requires specially constructed facilities.

Your right.

Why would you want moderating a community to be hard? Completely unmoderated communities almost instantly become Nazi hangouts.

What are they going to do? Invade?

How about a pro-credible-news site now?

Hamas has genocide as its openly, publicly stated goal.

Just this last week, my youngest kid caught and brought home influenza-A, which I’ve been reading is pretty gnarly this year. But it’s been comparatively mild for us - probably because we vaccinate. Mostly just an annoying cough and some fatigue.

In my case, I didn’t get sick at all. My wife has mild symptoms, as does my oldest kid. The worst is actually my youngest, but still not particularly severe.

Moral of the story: Vaccines are fucking awesome and the fact that some people refuse to vaccinate just blows my fucking mind.

Oh, Drawfee is definitely worth watching. Damn near pissed myself during the Orbeez bit.

Return? I never stopped wearing them. Or social distancing and avoiding indoor spaces packed with strangers.

Weirdly enough, I haven’t caught COVID yet, either.
