  • Jellyfin actually works for ebooks too. It does all the things you specified and more.

  • AI experts return from China stunned: The U.S. grid is so weak, the race may already be over

  • I've actually worked professionally in the field for a couple of years since it was interesting to me originally. I've built RAG architecture backends for self hosted FOSS LLMs, i've fine tuned LLMs with new data, And I've even took the opposite approach where I embraced the hallucinations as I thought it could be used for more creative tasks. (I think this area still warrants research). I also enjoy TTS and STT use cases and have FOSS models for those on most of my devices.

    I'll admit that the term AI is extremly vauge. It's like saying you study medicine, it's a big field. But I keep coming to the conclusion that LLMs and predictive generative models in general simply do not work for the use cases that it's being marketed for to consumers, CEOs, and Governments alike.

    This " AI race" happened because Deepseek was able to create a model that was more or less equivalent to OpenAI and Anthropic models. It should have been seen as a race between proprietary and open source since deep seek is one of the more open models at that performance level. But it became this weird nationalist talking point on both countries instead.

    There are a lot of things the US is actually in a race with China in. Many of which are things that would have immediate impact. Like renewable energy, international respect, healthcare advances, military sufficiency, human rights, food supplies, and afordible housing, just to name a few.

    The promise of AI is that it can somehow help in the above categories eventually, and that's cool. But we don't need AI to make improvements to them right now.

    I think AI is a giant distraction, while the the talk of nationalistic races is just being used for investor buy in.

  • The race to have the magic box that tells you lies that you want to hear while also consuming incredible amounts of resources...why is this a race again?

    Jump

  • The only way verify if a service is private, is to see the court documents and subpoenas that show that the service actually does not keep any logs and has no information on its users that would help the court or provide any evidence.

  • Steam data reveals PC gamers shifting from Windows to Linux

    Jump

  • This is just wrong. All modern hardware will work on an equally modern kernel.

    However when it comes to games, some competitive multiplayer games that require kernel level rootkits might not run on Linux if the developers think gaming on Linux is cheating.

    I always suggest cross referencing protondb with you game inventory to see if you would have any issues

  • I'd rather buy a high end noctua fan for my CPU then spend $30 on a windows license. Although I have bought those in the past.

  • Agreed, however I think in most cases it's more than just tech illiteracy, I think it's actual illiteracy, or atleast an aversion to reading.

    From my exexperience, the way the average windows user reacts to an unexpected error message is with rage and frustration while also not attempting to understand the message. Although it can be hard since windows error messages are usually terrible. I think microsoft knows this and that's why newer windows errors look like this:

    The average Linux user will read the error and research it to resolve it themselves. But it's a lot easier when the error message is actually meaningful and the community documents issues and answers questions honestly. Although again, it all hinges on the ability to read.
