EndeavourOS is my favorite of most everything so far, and I started back during the Slackware days.

The truth hurts on this one sadly.

Same here, except 64GB of RAM, I can’t even remember how much that cost 4 years ago but I’m afraid to check the receipt at this point.

That’s why I bought a metric tap and die, anywhere I run into stupidity I can just re-thread and put a better bolt in.

Ollama + Mistral models is pretty open. All the code and weights are open with a permissible licenses.

Isn’t servo what FF uses for rendering? I thought they had built that layer from scratch in Rust.

It’d be nice if it integrated with my local ollama instance and let me pick which models I wanted to use on the fly with whatever part of the page I want.

Dear god, I had to write wxWidgets/C++ for Win32 last year for work and it was horrific. Never again, back to modern web standards for me. The irony is that it was justified as being “cross platform” but we never got around to actually making it work on Linux. Makes no sense, it should have been an internal web app. (Admittedly, this was for law enforcement software and they seem to love windows.)

Doesn’t really matter at the end of the day, Title 8 of the US Code can still be enforced regardless of how they feel or what they say.

I agree… that was the last update I did too and I like the split pulldown. That was before the 8.0 update, I haven’t noticed anything majorly different with 8.0 so far though.

Supposedly the new Samsung “OneUI 8” upgrade tries to streamline notifications and make them less annoying or attention grabbing. I just upgraded so I’m curious what it’ll be like but according to articles the entire goal of version 8 was to make the device less noisy to the user in general.

I’ve noticed that if you’re center or center-right here you get downvoted to oblivion or outright have your comments deleted by mods. It’s not really advertised, people have to find out the hard way. At least reddit has TrueUnpopularOpinion for people across the political spectrum, and there’s nothing similar here at all.

During the Palisades Fire in January 2025, firefighters experienced significant water pressure problems and some hydrants ran dry, hampering firefighting efforts in higher elevation areas. This was due to unprecedented demand overwhelming the local water system, which is designed for typical urban structure fires, not large-scale wildfires.

Key Details on the Water Issues

System Overload: The demand for water to fight the fire was four times the normal use for 15 straight hours, which lowered the water pressure. The local system, designed for individual house fires, could not handle a firestorm affecting multiple neighborhoods simultaneously.

Dry Tanks: The three water storage tanks that supply the Palisades area from higher elevations were depleted and could not be refilled fast enough due to the high consumption rate at lower elevations.

Empty Reservoir: The nearby 117-million-gallon Santa Ynez Reservoir, a potential lifeline, was empty at the time for a necessary repair of a tear in its protective cover, as required by public health regulations.

Are you sure it had little to do with the water?

Like the California Palisades fire not having water?

Lol, he’s already asking for donations again in his latest ad. Give him more of your money to defeat capitalism!

I say we make it a general rule, antifa also has to de-mask and both sides get identified.

Fair point… it’s a very conservative floor number though lol. Doing some heavy lifting on the wording.

I figured the % would be significantly higher, like 40% at this rate.

Removing books about sucking cum out of anuses from public schools isn’t really “burning books.” You can still buy them whenever you want, just not putting them in taxpayer funded schools with children.

EDIT: Had to add some details of the “books being burned [but really just removed from public school]”:

During public comment, one woman read a passage from “Yolo” by Lauren Miracle which is found in Freedom High School.

“I climbed onto of him and started kissing him in a way that said very clearly here I am, I’m ready to have sex,” the speaker read.

Another title, “Anatomy of a Single Girl” by Daria Snadowsky, was also read by a speaker.

“Guy tries rubbing my clitoris with his fingers, he wiggles his pelvis back and forth,” another woman read from the book.

“This is ridiculous that this school – any school – has this book,” the woman said to the board.

Julie Gebhards, the woman seen in the first video of our story, is a Hillsborough County mom of six children.

Gebhards read an excerpt from the book “Invisible Monsters Remix” by Chuck Palahniuk. According to the district’s online book library, the title is found in Steinbrenner High School.

“He shoots his load, and then plants his mouth on your anus and sucks out his own warm sperm, plus whatever lubricant and feces are present. That’s felching. It may or may not, I add, include kissing you to pass the sperm and fecal matter into your mouth,” Gebhards said.

I would say it’s more like 1000 times more energy. Trillions of matrix math computations for a handful of tokens at max speed and CPU/GPU usage, compared to a 10 millisecond database query (or in wiki’s case, probably mostly just easy direct edge node cache with no processing involved.)
