  • DeGoogled phones, made in Europe: Fairphone, Volla, SHIFTphone, Punkt – a full review.

  • AFAIK they offer a way to port their OS to Android devices by re-using the drivers built for Android when building a SailfishOS image for non-native hardware. I personally wouldn't call that "it's mostly Android", but that might be where we have different interpretations. Your initial comment came across as if it was a glorified launcher or a deGoogled Android. If I interpreted that wrongly, my bad. Cheers

  • Definitely not mostly Android. It's their own Linux distro/flavour with an "Android compatibility layer" like Waydroid and (gradually open sourced) system components. Ubuntu Touch has a similar approach and I believe postmarketOS as well. I really hope that Jolla's next community device brings them some more traction and subsequent development velocity. I tried installing SailfishOS on my Fairphone 5 but it is not (yet) a polished setup experience from first boot. If they can polish that, I think it's a great OS to facilitate a gradual move from privacy-hell. It would allow absolute must-have apps to live in locked down Android compatibility mode while there's no viable alternative and more and more of your data living in a tracking-free OS.

  • France will replace Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, Webex and others with its own sovereign video conferencing application "Visio" for public officials

  • Ah, that sits at an interesting spot between collaborative Obsidian and classic Word. I only just noticed their other existing products but knew of CryptPad from earlier posts. I think it's great to see these alternatives pop up so we don't funnel ourselves into the next monopoly.

  • I'd sooner see them integrate with https://cryptpad.fr/ which is another (jointly) French funded project to provide a secure collaborative office environment. I think this French Visio mostly targets (video) conferencing rather than the entire office suite.

  • Can highly recommend Bazzite. You can install most applications and terminal programs no problem through flatpak/brew and config any well behaved package through settings files in your home directory anyways. If you really need specific system level packages, then it's quite straightforward tinkering to setup a GitHub repo that builds a daily image for you based on Bazzite. If you break something, you just roll back to a previous build.

    And for testing out new "live" packages: you can! Just make sure you don't forget to persist them into your custom image if it turns out to be a useful addition.

    I think I added just a handful packages on top of Bluefin (the non-gaming version) and it runs rather merrily.

    Immutable sounds locked down, but to me it's more like highly reproducible tinkering. Just keep your home dir clean ✨

  • Thanks for the recommendation! I'll check those out. Just as a personal nitpick I'll look for one of their models with USB-C as opposed to micro-USB to be a bit more future proof.

  • Swapping GPU

    Jump

  • As a double check (or check before buying) you can search for your new GPU on https://linux-hardware.org/ to see if other users have it working without any issues. The hardware probe is also a handy tool to share your PC's specs if you should ever need to do so!

  • And then you have a trained model that requires vast amounts of energy per request, right? It doesn't stop at training.

    You need obscene amounts GPU power to run the 'better' models within reasonable response times.

    In comparison, I could game on my modest rig just fine, but I can't run a 22B model locally in any useful capacity while programming.

    Sure, you could argue gaming is a waste of energy, but that doesn't mean we can't argue that it shouldn't have to cost boiling a shitload of eggs to ask AI how long a single one should. Or each time I start typing a line of code for that matter.

  • Cool! I'm glad more people are picking up Darktable! Ever since I switched the 'image processing workflow' to 'scene-referred (sigmoid)' my editing productivity skyrocketed. It's way more intuitive than the filmic RGB module IMHO. How are you finding Darktable?

  • But in the end it's just as with email: providers, spam filters and clients. Some providers have stricter spam filters (~federation), some might prefer another client. Has there been any significant reason to deviate from that terminology?

    Meaningful discovery is a major issue in adoption, though. Pro: no search/discovery algorithm that serves some evil plan of world enshittification. Con: no search/discovery algorithm.

  • Good for them. It's an organisation's free choice to pick the platforms they post and interact on, if any. Their presence is a service in itself while there are plenty of other ways to follow or reach them if needed.
