Depends. I've found that it was able to explain to me (about Spanish) why, when and how to use this form or the other. But it won't come up with a plan of lessons. And the level of support will depend on the amount of resources available for the language you want to learn

No, that is actually useful. Blocking access for anonymous users is not
If anything, the boom of LLMs like copilot and chatgpt actually shows the power of open source and open access to information. Underlying algorithms would mean nothing without open source, open access to stackoverflow, forums, etc
That I don’t know. I haven’t been looking into one-board computers for a while. The one I bought ~10 years ago was running out of juice when I was trying to run Kodi on it last year. Wifi shouldn’t be a problem IMO, I’ve been using mine as torrent downloader and hosted a few university projects (dynamic web apps) on it. The graphics might. I would guess that as long as you find one with decent specs (so probably not the 10$ one) it should work. I’m sure there’s someone who is doing exactly that and either could answer what to buy/look for or wrote a blog about it

Unless there’s a bunch of people that create open-source firmware/HAL

is a booster-bot not really of linux, I would say ANTI-LINUX, and promotes constantly marketing by 3-4 corporations that seek to dominate linux and displace all alternatives.
Like the title says I am trying to understand how these things should work together. Part of my issue is I don’t have a good mental model on the Flatpak permissioning / sandbox model. My use case is running a game on Lutris, which is a Flatpack, and using my package install of Mangohud. I am also curious if I should using a...
I don’t use flatpak but I didn’t have to configure Lutris or Steam in any way for that.
If you look around goverlay you’ll find that there are two ENVs that you can set up in X/wayland service to have MangoHud automatically in every context it can render in.
So first try running with MANGOHUD=1 env exported. If that doesn’t help, try mangohud steam.
If I understand correctly, flatpack run in some kind of container, so it’s possible that you might need to set the env or the command, so it happens inside the container

That would actually be a good idea. With people growing up and learning on their own, you don’t have a fully controlled system. The world inside the Matrix will be evolving and from time to time there will be some glitch somewhere. If you have a base of defined childhoods, then only physical differences between bodies and random occurences inside are uncontrolled
If I were to construct the Matrix, I would go after cloning (fewer biological lottery) and predefined lifepaths to keep everything nice and stable
If you want something local and open source, I think your main problem will be the number of parameters (the b thing). ChatGPT-3 is (was?) noticeably big and open source models are usually smaller. There is, of course, an exchange about how much the size of the model matters and how the quality of the training data affects the results. But when I did a non-scientific comparison ~half a year ago, there was a noticeable difference between smaller models and bigger ones.
Having said all of that, check out huggingface.co it aims to be like GitHub for AIs. Most of the models are more or less open source, you will only need to figure out how to run one and if you have some bottlenecks on PI
Let’s say I want my RPG players to find a corporate mail that gives them some plot info. Why not ask an LLM to write the boilerplate around the info I want to give them? Just as example
But machine will not do the creative part. It can only fill in the time-sinks around our creative ideas. Ask an LLM to tell you a joke no-one has ever heard before and then google it. The creative part still has to come from humans
EDIT; and the truth is that we very rarely come up with something creative. We mostly just recompile previously met combinations
My mom and grandma are using Manjaro. With grandma I’m the only one doing the updates of course, but with mom she usually can do it herself just using pamac-tray. If that fails a phonecall is usually sufficient. Once in a few years I have to come and do something by myself
And when that happens I work with a distro that just works, instead of some broken crap
EDIT: I tried having Mint on their computers. Big mistake, it’s as broken as Debian and Ubuntu
EDIT: Xfce is very nice in such cases. It looks familiar for them while being manageable for me
no rolling-release: around once half a year you have to reinstall the system because it can’t update some core library to a more recent version. And it’s only the distro’s limitation because rolling releases have no issue with it
you can’t just define a package of your own. So if a piece of software is not in packages, you need to compile and install it manually without packager managing it. It tends to break in the long term and when the software suddenly becomes packaged
deb-hell: if you come to the idea to solve the first problem by compiling your own package, the packager will give you hell for that. And compiling your own deb with bumped up version is no easy task. Which means that when your version of the system goes out of life, you have to reinstall. Pray that you thought about this before and put /home and /etc on separate partitions
package dependencies are too baked in or stability is too high priority. Even if your issue got resolved recently, it will take a long time for an updated package to appear. And you can’t roll your own in the meantime (see 2, or even worse 1)
Despite it being one of the most popular and feature rich download managers out there and it being foss, it seems that most repos don’t have it ( except for flahub iirc) Is there is any reason behind that?...
Pure speculation:
I think it’s just not that popular. Does it do something more than rclone or simple rsync? If not, then its main selling point would be GUI. But then, I think, either one can use the remote location via their file manager (like thunar with MEGA for example) or there is not that much difference between opening another app and using web. And if the selling point would be pausing and resuming download, torrents are probably more verstile
It is available in AUR, though, so maybe it’s only me that haven’t heard about it earlier
Also, it’s a java application. There is not much to package or depend on, I guess
In the end everything is maintained by the community, the only difference is that AUR is “everyone can maintain” and official is “we have team of official maintainers that decided to maintain these packages”. Personally I can’t imagine running without using AUR
But it’s fair if it doesn’t count for you

Search is working fast, which is nice. Unfortunately it seems to focus on articles in my language without possibility to switch to English, so 1. someone might argue this narrows down who is using it, and 2. sometimes I need to search for an article in other language.
Also, from issues on github it seems that it can be a little buggy atm
At the same time, on wikipedia, ublock sees only wikipedia and wikimedia domains. And the page even doesn’t need to ask about cookies. I don’t think wiki has a problem with privacy, per se. Of course in countries with stupid governments this might be a good idea
Tinkering is all fun and games, until it’s 4 am, your vision is blurry, and thinking straight becomes a non-option, or perhaps you just get overly confident, type something and press enter before considering the consequences of the command you’re about to execute… And then all you have is a kernel panic and one thought...

Nah, that’s when the fun really starts! ;)
The package refused to either work or install complaining that the version of glibc was incorrect… So, I installed glibc from Debian’s repos.
:D That one is a classic. Most distributions don’t include packagers from other distros because 99% of the time it’s a bad idea. But with Arch you can do whatever you want, of course
My two things:
I’ve heard about some new coreutils (rm, cp, cat… this time the name really fits the contents :D) and I decided to test it out. Of course it was conflicting with my current coreutils package and I couldn’t just replace it because deleting the old package would break requirements. So without thinking I forced the package manager to delete it “I’ll install a new one in just a second”. Turns out it’s hard to install a package without cp, etc :D
I don’t remember what I was doing but I overwrote the first bytes of hdd. Meaning my partition table disappeared. Nothing could be mounted, no partitions found. Seemingly a brick.
Turns out, if you run a rescue iso, ask it to try and recognize partitions and recreate the table without formatting, Linux will come back to life as if nothing happened
Security & Privacy: Device Unlock: Screen lock settings: Lock after screen timeout: Shortest duration you are comfortable with
These don’t affect “the amount of tracking and data collection these devices perform”. Might be good ideas in themselves, but bundling these with options that really diminish the amount of data broadcasted, washes the picture out IMO
And I was commenting on the article. Which only has two lists and at the bottom
By enabling all of these settings, you are significantly reducing the amount of tracking and data collection these devices perform, but keep in mind that you are not completely eliminating it.

I'm guessing that you've been using kernels from packages provided by your distribution and its maintainers simply haven't decided yet that Wayland is used wide enough to put things it needs into default kernel. But that's just a matter of time.
On distribution I use, for example, I did not have to compile my own kernel when I decided to check Wayland out. But that's only because kernel package maintainers of my distribution have decided to enable it earlier
