That's fine. I'm sure there are some sub-par TUIs out there. I've seen pretty great TUIs, especially the ones written in Rust (because of the excellent TUI lib they have).

GUIs are fine too (as long as they don't use Electron lol).

It's just an easy thing to contrast against.

Electron is one of the slowest, clunky, memory-hogging ways to have a UI, and TUIs are the exact opposite. I don't care if (name of company that ships Electron slop here) can ship your software webpage masquerading as software to more systems more easily. If your messaging "app" has input lag when I type something, it's a dogshit experience.

Of course, there are ways to ship GUIs that aren't all of the things wrong with Electron, but comparing TUIs with those is less interesting and more a question of if the person likes to live in their terminal or not.

This kind of thing is an excellent way to bamboozle people into handing authority figures your phone, which is one of the worst things you can do.

As someone that has never used Puppet, I also wonder this. Ansible is agentless and works on basically anything. What do you gain by requiring an agent, like with this?

Why??? TUIs are the best kind of UI. They run anywhere and don't siphon your system resources like garbage Electron apps.

I would like to voice my support for the "no authoritarian" rule. Just because liberals use the term "tankie" to wrongly describe non-auth leftists, doesnt mean the word isn't clearly defined or that it shouldnt be used.

If you're auth-"left" or find yourself doing apologia for the few genocides and instances of human rights voilations that the west opposes, you're a tankie. It's safe to say that genocide apologia and human rights violations of any kind should have no place on 196.

Death Howl rule.

What are you referring to? I don't think these changes have anything to do with AI.

The closest thing in the article I found in the article was a mention of LLVM, which is a totally different thing from LLMs, if that's what you're thinking.

Bigotry is why, yeah. blahaj.zone has been nothing but a nice instance. lemmy.world on the other hand... 🙄

Fuck this. I'll be blocking the new fake 196 then.

The problem with that is that the actual polling questions did not indicate any such bias nor did they try to ask leading questions in the way that you're implying.

News coverage always has a political viewpoint to express (including the """centrist""" slop that often gets peddaled as "unbiased"), and so yeah, you'll find such ""bias"" as maybe we shouldn't be engaging in a horrific genocide from progressive news outlets. But the polling questions were pretty direct and clear in a non-leading way.

Imagine thinking that Palestinians being human beings is indicative of a bias. Yikes....

I call them repugs, or reich-wing, or nazis, or fascists, etc.

Has anyone here tried Rust dev on Haiku OS? I love these "niche" OSes, and it'd be cool to write some utilities for it. I assume that a lot of the syscalls might be completely different, so it'd be more challenging as well?

I don't have a strong use for this because i mostly just let it rip when it comes to dependency updates, but I wanted to say that Rust makes the absolute best CLIs (mostly thanks to clap and ratatui).

I love that basically any CLI made in Rust will usually get you easy, readable help output, sensible argument parsing, and with just a small amount of additional effort, shell completions.

Yes, with one caveat: it isn't going to work like a lot of other distros when it comes to installing packages. If you need help, use the uBlue forums.

Otherwise, it's great, and very stable.

Good things take time. But it seems close enough to ready if you didn't accidentally by a Nvidia garbage GPU. You can already run the Steam Deck image on most AMD hardware just fine.

Does Mistral actually provide the training datasets, or are they using the fake definition of """open source AI""" that the OSI has massaged into being as megacorp friendly as possible?

On Macs, I remap it to the Command (super) key. On Linux, I remap it to Ctrl.

It makes copying, pasting, etc. way more ergonomic and doesn't strain your pinky 😌

I'm running GrapheneOS, and they unfortunately do not have that implemented yet.
