But lmstudio isn’t FOSS no?
Way more models available, faster in my experience, more reliable, local ChatGPT compatible api and advanced fine tuning features. There have been some additions to Alpaca since I last used it, so maybe I will try it again soon but since I don’t use it regularly I use GPT4ALL because it just works, and when I tried Alpaca didn’t.
I have used Alpaca in the past, but personally I prefer GPT4ALL as it seems to be more complete.
Sadly only for US and UK, or am I missing something?
Oh. That’s one confusing naming scheme
Politely: fuck no
Donations? Sure, but there already is stuff that does exactly that.
Subscription for microblogging? Absolutely no, especially not with a centralized, proprietary platform. Don’t start making mastodon twitter. Build your own platform or make your own instances if you have to, but don’t plug into instances without asking and if you ask pay them for the infrastructure they are providing for you service.
If you had problems with fedora atomic aurora likely isn’t for you. Its main changes are adding stuff like codecs and drivers to the image and making distrobox more accessible. What tools do you use? Aurora-dx comes with brew preinstalled so maybe they are available there. Also using distrobox completely skips flatpak permissions so maybe that would help you
For me that would be Fedora (preferably KDE). I currently am on Aurora (Kinoite fork), but that’s because I value stability very highly (except for immutable and Debian nothing is stable enough).
One of main reasons I want to try Mbin is having lemmy style and mastodon style content in one place and afaik piefed doesn’t offer that
If your main focus is privacy I suggest Librewolf. It is one of the best for privacy, but it suffers from some performance issues. There is also Firedragon which has better performance, but is Linux only. Personally I use Firefox and Brave and then tweak them for optimal privacy (check out Betterfox), but I would only recommend that if you are willing to make a lot of tweaks to the browser and keep up to date with the additions they make so you can disable stuff like PPA. I also recommend following the development of Zen, it looks like a good option so far but I’m personally waiting until it is officially stable

Safari Limits adblockers heavily, it has a bunch of extensions missing that are available for Firefox, it only works on apple devices, it doesn’t have a lot of the anti fingerprinting features that Firefox supports and is a proprietary application made by a company that earns money from advertising. I don’t think Safari is a realistic option for privacy if you find Firefox to invasive
Funny to see this published at springer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springer_Nature#Controversies
I recommend to use bottles. It creates sandboxed bottles with wine and directx support and offers a gaming optimized preset
I use Speech Note for STT/TTS and it works great. You can choose between different models, I use whisper (more accurate) or Vosk (faster). You don’t need a GPU, but it will speed things up greatly
AFAIK you can already sign into pixelfed with your mastodon account. It is a good idea, I think the only problem would be you would be completely reliant on Instance and if that goes down everything is gone
I had this exact same thought but than I booted Windows. I get less frustrated because if use Linux I feel like I’m working with it and it is acceptable if there are mistakes. If I use Windows I feel like I’m working against it, and a big part of that is that a lot of issue aren’t there because they are bugs (of which there are probably as many as on Linux) but rather just bad/anti user design
Endeavour OS is exactly es stable as arch, and Manjaro tends to break more often than arch due to dependency issues. Debian and Arch are questionable for beginners, I would always recommend Mint as the first option for beginners. Also Mint has an easy NVIDIA setup, so I don’t think that is an advantage of pop OS compared to it. Nowadays NVIDIA is fine on Linux, especially on distros like pop OS, Mint or Aurora that makes the setup easy.
