- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 1 week ago:
Hacking at the kernel to make it work on a new device is a valid definition of hacking IMO.
Hacking [something together] - building something quickly to make it work not necessarily a robust inplementation.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 1 week ago:
That’s like saying an unlocked Pixel phone is a PC because you could technically develop an OS for it. Unlocked bootloader doesn’t an open system make.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 1 week ago:
You have to hack another OS to load it on a MacBook. Try running Linux on an M5 today. Not yet possible.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 1 week ago:
The pedantic argument was about personal computer, not just computer. I believe it was along the lines of push a few buttons, not hack the OS. Sorry I made you mad talking about macOS.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 2 weeks ago:
Actually the current M-series are struggling to be feature complete on Linux, so while what you say was true for the Intel Macs, that is wilting away.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 2 weeks ago:
Totally agree there. MacBooks don’t even really qualify there and even probably near future when newer Windows devices come locked down.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 2 weeks ago:
So user friendly Linux running on it makes it not a console? For a while PS3 was just a couple button presses to get a full Linux distro booted on it. I don’t think anyone would argue PS3 wasn’t a console.
- Comment on How many virtual machines can you nest? 3 weeks ago:
Each new VM would get a smaller and smaller amount of resources available to it, and as you nest VMs, things start slowing down due to overhead. Think of a hallway. You have to take messages from one end to the other end for instruction processing. Each further nested VM has a longer and longer hallway.

The original Naruto series has its moments. The first two or three arcs hit me throughout several times.

It’s not a war on
drugsporn, it’s a war on personal freedom, OK? Keep that in mind at all times. - Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 5 weeks ago:
How can I subscribe for more language nuance explanations?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
Cheaper is one aspect. Less physical things to have to keep track of and manage is what I am really after. I want a singular device that is capable of all the things/modes that I want. I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for this, but what I see is a singular device capable of all sorts of things being eventually small enough to be embedded inside a body, essentially like cyborg. Like 100 years from now assuming society doesn’t collapse by then.

Why have one device or why desktop mode?
One device because it would reduce the burden on me of maintaining multiple devices, the security updates, passwords, etc.
Why desktop mode? Because when I try to do what I would call “serious work” (probably a bad name for it, but think something requiring extended periods of deep focus), the interface of smartphones is not conducive for it. Precision of a mouse is required, ability to type 100+ words per minute is required, so that necessitates mouse and keyboard. Then there’s the UX itself. Smartphones have tiny screens so they can’t have many menu items or controls in the apps that are used for “serious work”. That requires larger screen real estate, so necessitates an external monitor.
I don’t want to start rambling so I’ll just leave it at that.

I’ve been wanting a phone that can dock and be used as a full fledged desktop since smartphones first came out. Samsung Dex apparently comes close, but is too limited in terms of the desktop app side.
- Comment on iOS 26 Beta 2 tones down the Liquid Glass effect 5 months ago:
They should have just called it appleOS 26 since they are bumping all of it to 26 and unifying the look and feel between all of their OSs.
- Comment on Is Pop_OS! kind of bad? 6 months ago:
Try these steps:
^$ sudo apt-get purge nvidia* # remove current installed nvidia software including drivers^ ^$ sudo ubuntu-drivers devices # verify it sees your graphics card^ ^$ sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall # install drivers automatically^ ^$ sudo reboot^
- Comment on Is Pop_OS! kind of bad? 6 months ago:
Do you gave an nvidia graphics card? The only problem I’ve had since I installed Pop OS is their shity driver installer crapped out somehow and I gad to recover my system by blacklisting amd graphics driver, uninstall nvidia driver and reinstall. It wad not for the feint of heart.

- Comment on Plex ending support for Watch Together 8 months ago:
Never used them before. Looks like more business oriented. How do they work out?
- Comment on Plex ending support for Watch Together 8 months ago:
Tailscale is a great option for this if your user count is low (1-3).
- Comment on Region-Adaptive Sampling for Diffusion Transformers 9 months ago:
This sounds like an inference time optimization so we can use it without retraining the model? Any idea when this might hit Forge?

Stick to the standard ones if you’re trying to blend. Depending on where you live it could turn around and bite you. Stay safe.

- Comment on If AI spits out stuff it's been trained on 10 months ago:
It’s akin to virtually starting with a block of marble and removing every part (pixel) that isn’t the resulting image. Crazy how it works.
