There are plenty of step-by-step guides to run Deepseek locally. Hell, someone even had it running on a Raspberry Pi. It seems to be much more efficient than other current alternatives.

That’s about as openly available to self host as you can get without a 1-button installer.

DLSS is an Nvidia technology, so of course it is.

No idea, is Google Maps listed as being safe for kids? It even has a default built-in search option to find nearby bars.

Either way, they removed the app from the entire Play Store, not just from kids accounts, or family sharing. Google specifically has as a separate account type for kids, ostensibly for the exact scenario they seem to be claiming is the reason for the removal here.

That would mean EVERY map app would be in violation since those places exist and are indexed by all of them. Including Google Maps.

And that’s exactly why it will never be the year of the Linux desktop… you know, the claim of this entire post.

Unless Linux appeals to the lowest common denominator, like Windows, it will never become a major replacement.

This is exactly the kind of issue that the average person might deal with, or it will be a deal breaker and they’ll never try again. Even if you can customize something via a config file, the average user will never do that. If there is no easy GUI in a normal location (like system settings) for something they want to adjust, it might as well not exist.

Average users either will accept all the inconveniences, or none. If it is more inconvenient than what they are used to right off the bat, they will go back and never try again.

Until something breaks, or doesn’t have a GUI. The average user seeing a terminal means they will abandon it. And even if they are willing to handle a terminal to fix an issue, the toxic community members that flock to be the first to respond condescendingly to new users will turn them away permanently.

Linux communities have some of the most helpful users, but they also have people worse than a League of Legends game. And all it takes is one of them to turn the average person away forever.
