You absolutely do not need AI in order to sound different in one context versus another. I mean, I highly doubt most people on Lemmy speak to their bosses in the exact way that they write their comments here.

Hell, I’d be surprised if they spoke to their friends and family the same way all the time (yes, I’m aware that you can generally be more lax around friends - but there’s a time and place for it, whereas comments on message boards tend to just be lax all the time).

That very concept has been around far longer than “AI” has.

I really don’t think there was any malice intended by them. Pretty sure the intent was more along the lines of"Yes, it has gotten better. Here’s a quick demonstration using the current conversation as context." (which reads very similar to what they said)

They could’ve left it at “Yes it’s gotten better” but I suppose it’s similar to the idea of “A picture is worth a thousand words”. Rather than “Ugh your grammar is terrible.” Of course no one should expect perfect grammar on Lemmy or similar platforms.

(Unless I’m just missing a giant ‘whoosh’ moment here - in that case, I’m sorry)

Ah, I thought this was in regards to AFK tracking when discord isn’t focused (which this plugin still won’t fix due to the mentioned Wayland restrictions) - I didn’t realize that it still didn’t work even when discord was focused, which is strange.

I’ve been using Vesktop since screen share wasn’t working on Wayland, and it already seems to do what this plugin does hence my confusion.

I’m not sure if this is actually possible - as far as I know, applications can’t track key presses/mouse movement when their associated window isn’t in focus. It’d be great if they just gave the option to disable the AFK detection since it doesn’t work…

Primarily I use Arch on my desktop (and by proxy, my Steam Deck which runs SteamOS), which is what I’ve landed on after a ton of distro hopping. The idea of Atomic distros catches my eyes, but for me in its present state there are too many steps needed in order to make deeper changes (for example, installing a kernel module) - but I quite like SteamOS on my Deck since I know it will always be in a “consistent” state, for example.

On servers I run a mix of Rocky Linux and Debian.

Oh wow, I didn’t expect another release so quickly! Props to the COSMIC team! I can’t recall where the roadmap for the features and their targeted releases went, but I hope we can get Night Light/Blue Light filtering soon.

I also did not know they had a Mastodon account, thanks for the shout so that I could give 'em a follow.

I’d recommend using ROCM through a Distrobox container, personally I use this Distrobox container file and it has suited all of my needs with Stable Diffusion so far.

That is, if you’re still interested in it - I could totally understand writing it off after what happened 😅

I usually just get by with Alacritty and Zellij, pairs pretty well together.

If they’re using Fedora, then it is highly likely that they are using GRUB as you have to very much go out of your way to utilize systemd-boot on Fedora the last time I checked.

I absolutely love Moshidon!

lol.

Listen, I’m not going to lie and say that Linux is all sunshine and rainbows, because it isn’t - but neither is Windows. But I can play this game too!

• Minecraft runs faster for me on Linux than it does on Windows, I get frequent stutters in Windows especially when trying to use mods (the same exact profile has zero issues on Linux).

  • In fact, some shitty software that I used to have to install for work would constantly cause Minecraft to randomly die in the middle of the game’s initialization.
  • Oh, and I had a friend who couldn’t get the Minecraft Launcher to even prompt the Microsoft account sign in screen, we eventually tracked it down to the fact that he had uninstalled Edge (through the control panel - not with some hacky script or whatever), which apparently breaks the ability for the game to display the OAuth authorization screen. Did it ever tell us that this was the issue? No, we had to spend time tracking it down.

• Razer’s software was so horrible in Windows that it would quite literally cause Windows Explorer to not startup properly unless I didn’t have the hardware connected when I logged in. Otherwise it was a roll of the dice whether Explorer and the rest of the desktop shell would start. There is zero reason that having a peripheral plugged in should cause Windows’ services to not start properly. OpenRazer on Linux has never caused anything like this, and works flawlessly. Nope, don’t blame it on Razer. As an end-user, I don’t care about that.

Even tracking the problem down to it being due to Razer was a major pain.

Windows has all sorts of issues constantly, however according to the Microsoft forums all I have to do is run some random DISM command to fix it, I’m sure that’ll definitely do the trick /s

Oh speaking of gaming - have you ever tried to use the Microsoft Store for games (which is required if you use game pass - a Microsoft first-party service)? Good luck. And if you do manage to get it to work, but have to reinstall Windows because of the fact that its had some random bullshit problem that requires a reinstall, god help you if you had your game pass games on a separate partition. You would think you’d just be able to tell Windows where the games are and not have to reinstall those - but nope, your account doesn’t own those files (even though you’re logged in with the same Microsoft account that they practically force you to login with these days just to access the desktop)! Due to the sandboxing, you can’t change the permissions back either. But also, since you don’t own those files, you can’t delete them either - and Microsoft requires that the game pass games go in a specific directory on that partition that… you now can’t modify because you dONt HaVE PerMISsioN tO DO thAT! So you need to either format the partition completely, or in my case since I had other stuff that I didn’t feel the need to copy somewhere else just to then copy it back, delete the WindowsApps folder FROM LINUX. What in the actual fuck???

Finally, after you’ve done all that, and have installed Forza, a Microsoft First-Party Game you can’t play multiplayer because the networking services are broken:

Oh hey, look, a guide to fix the problem https://techcult.com/fix-forza-horizon-4-unable-to-join-session-xbox-one/ - NINE different methods to supposedly “fix” the problem, including the almighty lord and savior DISM reset command!

People act like Windows is some holy gift from god and is perfect - it isn’t. Anyone whose been using Windows for more than 6 months knows that this is the case, they’re just used to dealing with Microsoft’s bullshit.

Everyone who says Windows is a viable alternative as a daily driver for things other than using Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel is just delusional.

Fair enough!

Ah, gotcha. May there be more stability in your future soon!

Have you tried it with the recently released Nvidia drivers (I think its v555) yet? I hear the experience is greatly improved now that the drivers and compositors are both using explicit sync.

I tried out Helix, but I think the biggest issue that I have is that with (neo)vim, I can use the keybindings in most of the editors I use through a plugin (such as IdeaVim for the JetBrains suite) - but I do not think the concept of Helix keybinding plugins have really hit anywhere.

Helix itself seemed really cool when I was playing around with the tutor mode though.

One of my closest friends also did the same thing for me, I quite enjoy playing beat saber :)

For what its worth, I know that while a lot of the hardcore Linux community seems to absolutely despise Ubuntu/Canonical because of snaps and whatnot, I don’t think there is anything actually wrong with using Ubuntu if that is what works for you. Use the best tool for the job!

Yep that’s the one, thanks!

Kinda. One of the Linux “wrappers” (I’m a bit tired and can’t think of the correct term here, bear with me) that lets you utilize some Linux utilities on Windows, maybe it was mingw or cygwin, actually uses pacman as their package manager IIRC.

I dual boot on my primary/desktop PC, and only run Linux on my laptop and Steam Deck.

I find more often times than not, I feel like I’m either fighting with Windows or it does these small but annoying things that when added up tend to really get on my nerves. For example, one thing that I’ve been running into a lot (and happened earlier today) is if I put my computer to sleep while its booted into Windows, it’ll randomly decide to wake itself up for who knows what reason - flooding my room with light often times while I’m trying to sleep or relax. It does it enough where I should by now remember to just physically turn off my monitors when I put my computer to sleep, but why should I have to? The 95% of the time that I’m booted into Linux, if I put my computer to sleep it stays asleep until I explicitly wake it up, and thus I haven’t formed a habit to turn the displays off.

The only reason why I even keep Windows around on this PC is to occasionally play Destiny 2 and some VR stuff with friends every now and then.
