  • (not op, but) Hear me out — what if it’s actually okay for me to use those “free plan” chats? Like, I’m not from US where most of data-centers and companies located, I’m not the one paying with my electricity bill and taxes for those “free” llms — average american Joe is.

    Dunno if this meme popular outside of post-soviet counties, but it’s closest analogy as I see it:

    Meme explanation

    I believe it was made as anti-capitalism propaganda, which is kinda ironic, considering how divided poor worker class and government people in USSR were (google shops “Berezka” that was only available for upper class), but I digress.

    Usually accompanied with slogan (which became name of the meme):

    This gentleman will pay for everything










  • Oh, we doing “what doesn’t work for you” comment section? Count me in!

    My LG TV consistently broken on multiple amd devices on linux. Something to do with how LG implemented HDMI protocol and how AMDGPU driver percepts it. I think it have something to do with color bit depth, cause all DEs allow to set 16 bit color (which is insane, not supported by any software nor my hardware and shouldn’t be a allowed as option without some special flags in my opinion) but like, there no protection and some DE/WM even defaults to max available bit depth, which in turn straight up doesn’t work and result in black screen.

    Windows or nvidia — those work fine.

    Another pain in the ass for me — connecting dualsense controller via bluetooth. It connects, then just disconnects. There a workaround that includes fetching it’s ID via terminal, then using commands to connect and entrust that device. After that it connects fine. Until you need to reconnect it, that is, cause it stops being recognized. Apparently that was fixed like, a year ago. Yeah, right.

    Another pain for me would be steam client on wayland, but Valve finally started working in that direction so I will hold my complains for now.




  • If you’re worried about credibility

    Not really anymore. (considering Louis Rossman behind it)

    My harsh comment strictly regarding this part:

    but they are not required to release the code to the public

    Again, it make no sense to pay this theoretical person (well, I wouldn’t, hence I won’t donate), cause there actually no benefit to anyone.

    The point of all this is to be able to demonstrate to legislators that the DMCA needs to be fixed

    Well, then why that money used for this charity event and not for cause mentioned above? “yeah, we know how to jailbrake your console, take that sony! Oh, but don’t worry, we won’t release this hack nor collaborate in any way to provide this feature to other people”

    That being said I’m not deaf and yeah, I can understand legal side of thing. Won’t make it less annoying tho.


  • let me run steam on it

    This. Actually one of the reasons why Valve didn’t sell GabeCube at loss or even at 0 markup, they prices it fairly well (compared to other prebuilds). Otherwise it would be an amazing deal - cheap and small prebuild desktop PC.

    Same with PS5, if they allowed to install linux, people would start buying their consoles and *gasps in horror* - use device as they please, which means not buying games from their overpriced store. It actually already happened before with PS3, I recall article that some even used it for making a cluster essentially DIY’ing super computer. I doubt people would do the same with PS5 and realistically, they not even selling this console at loss, so they absolutely wouldn’t lost anything, but like, it’s Sony we are talking about.
