So?

Using the right build platform you could design a single flag to enable automatic appimage building as well.

Just seems like a cleaner build environment to me, exactly what you’d want to gaurentee things remain distro agnostic

Some desktops connect to servers on occasion, it was pretty big back in the 80s

JK Rowling🤢

Its like locks on a car, sure someone can still break the windows - and if still worried you should just use an armoured car.

But for most of us locks are more than enough to keep people out our shit

Doesnt even give access to the camera subsystem’s embedded flash memory, essentially useless

/s?

Nixos because… I feel like were already loud enough of a crowd everyone should know its benefits lol

If you’d prefer native to using an unpopular tool thats archived since 2023, try this site.

All you have to do is click on the revision you want to install, and it provides instructions to install it (having the benefit of being actually using the native package manager instead of just storing some binaries somewhere exclusive to the app)

Surprised there was a non-nix way to achieve this honestly, even if it is a bit hackey

Man doesnt even know distrobox exists

(Or flatpak of appimages or any other containers)

Good luck even finding something not in nixpkgs though

Sounds like flatpaks/appimages with extra steps

Includes all dependencies? ✔️

A single file? ✔️

Independent of host libraries? ✔️

Limited learning curve? ✔️

Not sure how appimages handle it internally, but with flatpaks you can even be storage efficient with layers, whereas 100s of static binaries could contain an awful lot of duplicates.

Can’t see why you dislike appimages, sure not 100% size efficient - but for one off binaries youre probably not spending much time optimizing anyways.

Not that you couldnt make an appimage 2.0 solving all your issues, but we’d just be back to that package manager xkcd all over again

Just lost wmr to windows updates too, I’d expect more shit like this now that theyre better monopolized

No better way to shit on women who spent their entire lives getting to space than by calling Katy perry and ‘icon’ for going on a glorified plane ride

If you’ve ever used Xbox, its like quick resume

(From my limited understanding)

I mean I imagine an LLM is able to generate more entropy from the sheer computing power put into it, but I agree traditional digital stenography methods are MUCH more cost/power efficient than an LLM.

(Not even to mention the amount of cyclic redundancy youd probably need just to get a message across)

Depending on the environment I suppose texr-based could be beneficial vs (relatively) large media files

I could honestly see this as one of the few legit uses for LLMs.

Throw some data ino it and make some “natural text” to obfuscate it.

Dunno what else to tell ya cause they are moving to open source, but hey googles free if you want to find out for yourself

4% of US alone is 12 million people.

If even 25% of them decide hardware purchases based on driver support, 3 million sales isn’t ignorable.

(The number of PCs sold globally per year is similarly 300,000,000, so even then theyd lose out on 12 million potential sales YEARLY)

The market is also pretty shit post-covid, so I’m sure every hardware company is dying for a way to boost sales metrics.

With the linux server market share and recent ai boom, theyd have to be more than just blind deaf and dumb to not release linux drivers.

Maybe this was true back in like the early 2000’s?

Yeah, it was a bit of a growing pain tradeoff to accommodate high performance enterprise clusters, but kinda only sucks for the small user environment.

Still pretty impressive the same software can serve both those markets though.
