I think it makes sense. I like ChatGPT and I appreciate having easy access to it. What I really wish is the option to use local models instead. I realize most people don’t have machines that can tokenize quickly enough but for those that do…
How do they prove your age? Non-technical savvy people probably just give their kids a phone and don’t do much to lock it down.
Nah it’s literally a waste of physical resources. Crypto currency is a waste of fossil fuels. AI has its functions at least.
Yeah the majority do it and I think it’s bad.
Thermostats are easy to change out. So this isn’t a huge deal. But I don’t love the idea that tech isn’t built to be self-hosted or maintained in any meaningful way. If you’re not shipping an open source version of your software when you close up, you’re an asshole.
Yeah, self hosting isn’t for most lay people if it’s just a GitHub repo. But GitHub repos quickly become adopted by nerds like me who build tooling around it that eventually let lay people self host software with the click of a button.
I am chronically online. I don’t feel like I have the skills to make new friends as a 30 year old who is on track to have a child this year.
I never want to socialize. I don’t like being around people. I can’t tell if I’m normal or not. I am a social guy - when I’m in the office or at family events. But it’s the opposite of my idea of a good time. It’s just stressful and tiring.
My #1 fantasy is that the world is empty and devoid of people. While I’m sure I’d get lonely, I feel like I’d manage.
I also hate “being perceived”. Not a big fan of being seen. It just stresses me out to know other people are aware of my existence. I think I assume people are judging me and it makes me self conscious. So it’s easier to be alone.
This is only for deleting your entire account. Not deleting an individual image from your post history. At least there’s a solution for now.
What’s the end goal here? You should be able to use fstab to mount the drive to a particular folder on every boot. That should allow you to access the mounted folder consistently.
Oh that is news to me. I always assumed a partition was all it needed.
Linux Mint is a popular alternative.
But all options can be dual booted as far as I know!
How does resource management work for desktops? Is the computer running all of the processes in the background as though they are just minimized?
EDIT: Tentative solution: CoreCtrl
CoreCtrl allowed me to underclock my Radeon 5600XT GPU (currently set values to GPU 800MHz and memory set to 500MHz). I say “tentative” because this problem has been persistent for years, but I’ve been running Cyberpunk for 1 hour at 60FPS on High settings (and mostly 60FPS on Ultra, but I had some FPS drops). Even if this solution isn’t 100% perfect, I think some combination of changing the GPU values is probably going to make my rig much more functional.
I found CoreCtrl based on a Reddit thread last night but didn’t have time to test it until this evening after work. Seems to have made a world of a difference.
Yeah I’ve tried just about every feasible kernel parameter for amdgpu module, updated my kernel, to 6.2 on Linux Mint, and I’ve tried several different BIOS settings. My system runs everything reasonably. Even Cyberpunk 2077 is generally at 60FPS. But after about 5minutes of gaming on Cyberpunk 2077, it crashes. Other games last longer, which is why I use Cyberpunk 2077 to stress test my system.
These are my system specs:
I don’t really see where I might be going wrong here. I bought this all ~4 years ago and I’ve always had these intermittent crashes. It’s admittedly worse on Linux, but it still occurred on Windows.
Anyways, I spent about 5 hours last night reading bug forums, testing various amdgpu mod parameters, settings in my BIOS, and even re-configuring my fans to provide (potentially) more optimal cooling. None of this really made a difference. I run two 1080p monitors (not exactly breaking the bank here). I had a lot of hope regarding one forum about ring gfx_1.0.0 errors related to how AMD reads the GPU in Linux. My graphics card is detected as: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 10 [Radeon RX 5600 OEM/5600 XT / 5700/5700 XT] and apparently some machines used to accidentally use the total allocated memory for 5700XT instead of the 5600XT. This resulted in some form of corrupt memory allocation. That sort of behavior would make sense for my system since it runs well, but just fails suddenly.
Other errors I’ve seen are:

^ These are all errors which occurred from various tests of amdgpu module settings and/or BIOS settings. The common thread is some form of ring XXXX timeout.
These two threads seemed like my best chance, but their proposed solutions didn’t help:
journalctl -S -5m
Looks like this is the errors I’m seeing. I know it’s not helpful to just drop this in the chat, but I’m doing it for posterity (and to let you know your comment did in fact help me)!

Oh I get it now. I need to see if my rig is running Wayland.
Thank you! This is super helpful.
What does that mean? Genuinely don’t know what it means that it runs Wayland.
It’s not stable on Windows either. But I haven’t looked at logs because I didn’t really know what - or how - to check.
The common thread I’ve seen online is this:
These two tools are quickly becoming coupled for Google-Fu expert users. The historical forum history that goes back 3-5 years on Reddit is their goldmine. You can’t just make a new subreddit overnight when a sub gets paywalled. All of that historical data will be lost and paywalled.
I think a paywall could be an effective money maker for Reddit because they’ve basically become their own Google - in that each subreddit acts like a unique website with real, human, responses. The only problem is that reddit has a god awful search algorithm that they refuse to improve. So people use Google to essentially search reddit. The “whales” so-to-speak are the only people they need to capture. People like myself (frugal people) aren’t in their peripherals. But the people that think “I’ll pay each month for NYT” or “it’s just a few dollars for the WSJ” are going to use the same logic for Reddit: “it’s a small amount of money to have access to high quality forums on X, Y, and Z”.
In addition, this might bolster Reddit’s content even further. Since paywalled subs will automatically reduce the amount of AI content spammed on them, they will inherently increase the legitimacy of each forum.
Lastly, this will give them a path towards monetization for moderators which doesn’t require them skimming off of their own pay checks to achieve it.
Do I like this? No. Is this fair? Also no. People contributed to Reddit under the impression that their data would be available and accessible to anyone with an Internet connection. That implicit guarantee is being violated. It’s an afront to the hard working individuals that have developed these communities brick by brick.
But does this “solution” make a lot of business sense? Possibly. As long as they survive the changeover in the short term, I think they’ll thrive from this choice for the reasons I stated above.
Again, it’s going to give them a pathway for:
I’m pretty much over Reddit anyways. Lemmy has been my backup social media for a while now. The Internet is still free - for now. I just hope we can all find better search engines and forums in the future. Google has been degrading. Reddit has been locking things down. We obviously need to pivot to other platforms. Or maybe just go back to the old days where you find niche forums hosted by some dude in his basement. Nothing wrong with that.
