  • Because Redhat has IBM hands shoved up through it’s ass upto it’s brains so it’s days are numbered.

    Don’t underestimate IBM honchos to fuck up a good thing. Recently heard Redhat dropping dev support for a bunch of packages in fedora or something.

    The moment someone fucks up… open source always brings alternatives. See: open office vs. Libreoffice… the bunch of firefox derivatives.




  • I guess most people can’t afford (both time and money) to run an LLM just to have a saner browsing experience. So i suspect the key to adoption would be for the community to band together and spawn some LLM servers for the community backed by donations or other sustainable practices.

    The future is probably once again crowd computing. We could probably use the federated network to distribute LLM requests from the community and load balance among those that are running LLM endpoints.









  • I had to debug my Parents-In-Laws’ Old laptop. Turns out it can’t really run Win10 in any functional capacity.

    So I first tried to get Debian 12 installed and setup. It’s a bit annoying if you don’t have the non-free CD as wifi will be bugged even if you have the firmwares separately. So I had to go back and get the DVD download.

    My review: Honestly their user management (no usermod command installed??) and lack of sudo access from the get go is a safety risk. Users would either set a weak root password or try adding the usual sudo package back in and break security in some manner. So, Debian is not as suitable for old laptops for normal people.

    So I went ahead and installed Linux Mint 21.1 XFCE. That was quite a breeze. I would not install debian on old laptops unless it’s a system I will be able to manage on the daily.
