If Microsoft's AI actually worked I would be more impressed but it "hallucinates" so often that it becomes nearly worthless.

I don't know but it's a bop

Why does the tall man have a furry face?

Bazzite is good for noobs looking for a gaming option because it's "immutable" which means the OS filesystem can't be edited, which makes it nearly impossible to break.

Mint is still very noob friendly, just not immutable. Both are solid options because neither one requires any command line to get it on-par with Windows.

I am trying out Kinoite now but it's very similar. I think the immutable distros are best for people who want a "Just works" experience to start with.

Every. Single. Time.

It's purely marketing and I wish it would stop getting repeated. BlueSky is centralized and a for-profit company.

With Linux being better for gaming and Mac still the place for creative software, Windows really is only for business users.

That Matthew Hodgson quote is good.

"Unhappy users tend to be disproportionately loud given the issues at stake, and there's a huge risk of optimizing to appease those who shout loudest in the short-term rather than find medium-term solutions which solve for everyone."

I actually learned of this when the Material You Home Assistant addon updated yesterday. Kudos to the dev for being extremely on the ball.

 

/c/fuckai has two dozen mods but ironically only time I've ever seen them take action on anyone was when they removed my post asking for recs for a community with more active moderation (lol)

I'd like to discuss generative AI from a highly skeptical perspective but with higher standards of quality and without all the mouth-frothy raging and bad memes of /c/fuckai.

Does anywhere else like that exist on the fediverse? I don't care if it's small/underutilized. And no I'm not interested in creating it myself.

 

I'm trying out LineageOS Android TV for Raspberry Pi 5. There is an option for HDMI-CEC in the menus, but nothing I do can get it working.

I know it's not the Pi, my TV, or my cables because CEC worked immediately with LibreELEC.

The Pi will go into sleep mode when the TV shuts off (even when the setting for that is disabled) so I can tell that something is being communicated. But I don't seem to have any control over it.

Does anyone have any advice for troubleshooting? I've tried power cycling the TV and Pi, unplugging cables, etc.
