It only makes gtk theming slightly less of a pain in the ass, but you can use gtk’s inspector (enabled thru a gsettings terminal command and then ctrl+shift+d in the app or thru an environment variable) to find the classes, names, and object types for whatever you’re trying to theme.

Kobo does drm-free ebooks when the publisher allows it, so it’s on a case-by-case basis but I have got a lot of them drm free

If you want to donate to lemmy instances (or the devs as well if the other replies haven’t changed your mind) a lot of them are on Liberapay and if yours isn’t, they probably have a donate link on their web UI.

ElementaryOS was my gateway drug cuz it was so pretty, I switched to have an OS that made me happy instead of miserable. Dual booted for a while for gaming until I got an hdr monitor and ended up stuck on my (modded for privacy and performance) windows partition more and more, but followed Wayland’s development religiously until plasma finally launched HDR in beta.

I chose arch (btw) cuz I was tired of running Debian-based distros with custom kernels and I generally just don’t like apt, and I don’t see myself ever really wanting to switch again.
(Other than compulsively reinstalling arch to try whatever new shit catches my eye, that doesn’t count)

Oh sorry I was in a rush reading your post the first time and fully missed that your wireless adapter was broken lol. Do you have a 3.5mm audio cable to use? I honestly don’t even know if the USB port supports audio but my gut feeling would be charging only (can’t imagine why they’d bother putting a DAC in the headphones). I won’t have my headphones or my pc for a couple days but I can poke around with this after that if you want anything tested on another similar setup, by then.

Possibly a stupid question, but are you using the wireless dongle that came with the headphones? I have the same headphones and run arch as well, and my pc recognizes the dongle as “Audeze Maxwell usb” or something like that.

I’m running pipewire for my audio system and iirc it worked out of the gate with these headphones, though I did some modifications to get digital surround sound working too.

My lisp days were back in my “IDEs are bloat” phase so that’s the only way I ever interacted with it lmao

Lisp uses it, with the fun extra part that operators are just normal functions - so instead of foo(bar) you get (foo bar), or for operators 1+1+2 becomes (+ 1 1 2). It’s a really fun language even just for being different than most, I def recommend playing around with it if you’re looking for something new.

Great, this is all the infinite information sucking machine was missing: MY information. Can’t wait for hiring companies to try to force me to use this /s

GenAI is short for generative AI in this context

Proton’s a compatibility layer to translate between games that want to speak to windows and a Linux system. Steam downloads it for you if you turn it on as a setting, and most of the time you shouldn’t have to worry about it past that.

For pirated games: if you have the game as a folder with a game exe rather than an installer, you can still add it to steam pretty easily as a non-steam game and then just enable proton. If it has an installer this can still work, but it’s more of a pain cuz you have to add the installer to steam, run it with proton, and then switch the steam entry’s file location to the newly installed game. I honestly don’t recommend doing it that second way, I’m chronically allergic to bloat (arch btw) and even for me this is a dumb hacky work around.

I watched someone vibe code a curl request with grok and it spat out an api key in the configuration completely unprompted. It wasn’t an active one unfortunately (that would’ve been so funny) but I could totally see this happening

Matrix is a pretty drop-in replacement for discord and has encrypted video calling. The framerate on screen sharing can be kinda ass but iirc video was better, tho I don’t use it a lot so ymmv.

People would need to have matrix accounts to join your video feed but they’re easy to make and don’t require phone numbers. I’m not sure there’s any way to stop viewers from talking/showing video as well, so if those are things you want to avoid it may not be ideal, but check it out if it interests you because I might be wrong on that part.

I also really like Small Form Factor form factors

(sorry couldn’t resist)

To be clear, I wasn’t saying you’re wrong. I just like homomorphic encryption a lot and love a chance to tell people about it lmao

There are no LLMs that process encrypted tokens.

Check out homomorphic encryption! AFAIK it’s not used in any LLMs just yet but the plans are in place and it’s tantalizingly close

Did you use a heavily quantized version? Those models are much smaller than the state of the art ones to begin with, and if you chop their weights from float16 to float2 or something it reduces their capabilities a lot more

Yep, the OpenAI api and/or the ollama one work for this no problem in most projects. You just give it the address and port you want to connect to, and that port can be localhost, lan, another server on another network, whatever.

Oof rip sorry lol, thought I’d seen a post about boost and piefed

I’ve seen a couple of other clients add support for piefed recently as well, although I don’t follow them closely cuz I’m happy with voyager. Maybe boost or mlem supports this with piefed already?
