Difficult to predict how this will go, I think these companies already offer such small prices for the base minimum stuff that’s hard to compete.

It’s probably good to have more competition, but very hard to break into and actually be good.

Begun has the LLM Wars.

He/she is onto something though. An example of it is games made by people who care and love the field being bold and pushing for new cool and interesting stuff vs. games made by companies just wanting money with 0 effort and using the same boring formula.

It can if it’s using something like RAG.

This is true, it’s like other platforms that value content creation rather than value, so people keep repeating the same thing. I haven’t worked as a moderator ever so I don’t know what’s possible or impossible, but I think many of these problems are a result of poor moderation though.

Sometimes moderation needs to be a bit unpopular to have the community work in some way.

I don’t know, Reddit also has more niche communities that just don’t have enough people in platforms like Lemmy.

I don’t have experience with it, but I’m sure it’s possible to pass the GPU control to the VM, I don’t know how well this sort of thing works.

I think in general, VMWare is the best at working for Windows images.

Country: it’s illegal to have software development skills 🤡

In case people didn’t know what company he was referring to. /s

What’s the experience so far?

I see it more of a limitation, you don’t want your laptop to warm (and it shouldn’t in light use), but you want to cool it for the few times it does.

I think UEFI was something that took a while to be standardized and mostly because of Intel’s influence over it, while ARM seems more diverse both in manufacturers and types of devices. When things are decentralized it becomes much more difficult to get everyone on board of something.

I don’t think the people excited about Linux are using or talking about Ubuntu, though, which probably skews people’s perceptions if they’re on Lemmy and Reddit a lot. Enthusiast spaces have all the “I run arch btw” people and even weirder and more obscure distros.

This is exactly the thing. 10 years ago when I was in college, everybody just used Ubuntu for laptops, and nowadays I don’t hear about it at all. I had the impression it kinda died, but seems like things are more or less the same.

I wonder what percentage of desktop users still use Ubuntu nowadays. Seems like there’s no way to have a clear picture, besides DistroWatch which is more like “interest” and not actual usage?

There’s also the issue of testing all the packages. They have to make sure all the versions frozen in the repository will work smoothly together.
