Uhhh, I've been running stable diffusion on my 6750XT for a few months now... just started playing with chat and text models (oobabooga) too. Didn't even get the card thinking I could use it with ROCm for hobbyist AI stuff but tur

Good points but YMMV: - fraction scaling: I don't need it - Wayland: still using X - hardware accel: I think that's true for chromium but IIRC there's a package with it and widevine (google-chrome-stablevon Arch AUR) - nvidia

I've been using EdgeDB in a greenfield project and loving it. Some rough edges (forgive the pun) but fantastic for prototyping / smaller projects and could be a good candidate for large projecs. I like it better than when I used n

Same here, I've been happily using signal for years and will probably have to drop it since I won't be able to communicate with a majority of my contacts :( They're basically kicking me out as a happy user. I would love to co

Wow, that really is unhinged! Would be a great element of a sci-fi plot of an AI going insane/short-circuiting and turning on the crew/populace/creator.

A lot of people here were very dismissive of the Twitter files, showing how closely big govt and big tech work together. I even lamented [0] about it and got tons of pushback ("business as usual"). I had thought at the time this s

Yeah, this is the direction I worry about. Why bother being creative when the AIs "do it better"? How many people will bother paying for human art when AIs "do it better"? Will human creativity be relegated to a tiny nic
