  • The "AI" is actually a community of users giving you live instructions.

  • People associated that word too much with Schwarzenegger's grunts. (Total Recall)

  • Open source version of what? Copilot vision?

  • If someone explained to him what tariffs are and how they work without mentioning the president at first, and how it will impact his spending money, there's a chance he might finally admit to Trump making a mistake.

  • Basically

  • I was just going to suggest this. Most small indy games from places like itch.io I play using Bottles and it works very well.

  • Have you checked out the gaming for Linux communities on Lemmy?

  • Yeah there's a bunch of history books. My mom had a collection of history books on the second world war with accounts of what happened and the atrocities committed.

    You just have to take notes in a notebook and call it Project 2025.

  • Wow. Just like every dictator out there with a huge inferiority complex, trying to boost their ego.

  • Seriously, the whole thing with Firefox and their privacy policy is overblown. I understand the concerns, but people gotta chill.

    Besides, there aren't good alternatives out there. The closest is Librewolf and even with that browser it's hard to work around all the problems that the increased security creates. I couldn't do half the shit I wanted to do when I tried it and abandonne altogether.

  • I understand your point. But, I don't think anyone here is creating instances in the hopes of collecting money. They're just trying to keep the internet free (as in speech). And no, it probably doesn't cost that much for a server with 16k users, but it still costs something and someone is paying for that out of pocket.

    We have to understand that we're at a crossroads right now. Most of the internet is dominated by GAFAM and they control the access to information and how it's provided. They control the narrative and have a huge bias in favor of unfettered capitalism and fascism. They not only use your own personal information for profit, but hey also benefit from government subsidies paid by taxpayers.

    Meanwhile you have a government that's increasingly cutting funding for almost everything, including important organizations that fund critical open source projects.

    If we want a free (as in speech) internet, we have to understand it comes at a cost and we can't rely on governments to fund these projects. It's up to us to put our money where our mouth is.

    I'm by no means a whale. But, if us little fishes all band together, we can become even bigger than a whale.

  • Seriously. If this is your main instance, set up monthly donations. Even if it's just 1$/£/€ or whatever. Times 16k that's $16,000+/month. I donate to mine every month.

    The fediverse is free because someone else is paying for it out of their own pocket. Not because they're collecting and selling your private data. So do your part. It's for the greater good and the freedom of the internet.

  • I'm increasingly seeing ads about Canadian cloud hosting services. I just hope companies stat to look at local solutions seriously.

  • I.... I didn't even know there were so many.

  • Hell, just talking about teams in Teams is confusing enough.

  • Oh cool!

  • LxQT maybe? Ubuntu MATE could work too.

  • Well, like all of the fediverse. It's a bunch of volunteers who run the instances out of pocket. They need donations to keep going.
