Think AI is pointless when it doesn’t apply to you?

Maybe because that actually stopped getting updated, and a fork continuing it exists?

Resolved

The following packages are needed from winetricks: directmusic, dsdmo

I use Newpipe

Flatpak is definitely a possible solution. We will see how it will be managed in the future

To allow modern windows to run legacy applications a lot of caution is given to updating libraries or fully new ones are given while keeping the older ones. Also static builds are more common on Windows, or come bundled with a copy of the required libraries as .dll files.

• Let’s say an application requires libexample1. It works, the library is available too.
• Eventually the application gets abandoned, but still works.
• But eventually a libexample2 gets released that drastically changes how the library works. The program doesn’t work on this version. The older release of the library then get’s abandoned.
• Distributions now start removing the package from the repositories as the older library is slowly requiring no longer supported releases of its own dependency.
• Now application is borked

Aplication could have still worked if it came bundled with its own copy of libexample1 and of its dependencies, or was statically linked.

An example of this is Nero, a software kit for managing CD/DVD disc media. They made a build of some of their tools for Linux, meant to run on Debian 7. This builds were an experiment and got abandoned because of the very few users it had. Yet, these tools still work perfectly fine on Debian 12 despite being based on ancient libraries because it bundles all its requirements as a copy in its own proprietary blob.

I talked about caution on updating libraries on Windows. You can find many deprecated methods in any native Windows library that will likely never be removed from the library binaries, as many applications require it. The new, better and more feature rich method is given a different name instead, and is pointed out in the documentation for the older method.

Projects like FUSE are very nice for this, where an AppImave bundle of prebuilt binaries is given and can potencially not only be ran everywhere that can run FUSE but also in the future too.

Shows how useless those “image poisoning” services some artists boast about really are

Where I live they always call because we don’t have mail boxes, so they have to give the parcel personally and they call to see if you are home. If you aren’t they don’t ship it to you that day.

I got banned from Aliexpress for refusing to provide a phone number to a web page fully in chinese, and they didn’t specify why I needed to despite them claiming a phone number isn’t necessary to order

I have no issues with Proton 8 on Nvidia GTX 1050 Mobile. Please be more specific with your info

What does this have to do with anything

No 🥲

I tried just now as it happened again. Killing the app in use doesn’t make the keyboard work again in X11 apps.

Are you sure its a similar issue? Because usually closing the window actually doesn’t solve it, as then reopening another X11/XWayland window will still not register keyboard presses. I am adding some more info to the post right now.

KoboldCPP now pretty much can run everywhere, even without a GPU. CPU only without Cuda on a 9th Gen i7 takes around 60 seconds to create a response, depending on complexity. That is actually an alright time for not hardware accellerated usage.

Run whatever model you wanna run, I won’t judge. A lot of people use the software for mostly porn anyway alright.

I was much more inexperienced in Linux at the time, I could probably fix it now if the same thing happened again.

Debian sid a few years ago: Uninstalled Python2, system became unusable and couldn’t neither reinstall from APT neither recompile it

Point at the case, because mine was an affirmation that it wasn’t good as I reluctantly used it.
