  • This is the right way to go. This will incentivize many companies to rethink their strategy, and slow down or scale down AI adoption. After that and the revenue drops for many AI companies, they will back off purchasing all possible RAM and storage in existence which will drive down pricing. And when the prices get to normal again, we will simply buy more RAM for our local machines and run free models.

    This news kinda makes me happy. Shit’s starting to fall apart. Finally.












  • I know, but if it was that easy to shift perspectives, the world would be a completely different place. I dislike the donation format since it plays a lot on the moral and psychology of the person - how much is enough, how much value does it actually provide me etc. Like I am the one doing the sales for the person. I much rather have a clear price.

    Maybe it’s just because of donations and the “uncertainty” it makes me feel. I did pay for open source software before (open source != free), guess I prefer just to see a clear price tag.



  • “Default” is basically Ubuntu. By “default” I mean you can use most things without needing to ever think about which desktop environment do I have, which package manager I have etc… it “just works”. It is very bad for average Joe if it says “Linux app” and then you can’t install it using apt because it’s available only in another package manager.

    It looks like you can’t install Linux apps onto Linux. What kind of message does that send to the broad consumer market?


  • It’s not the use case I am referring to - I am speaking about modern day games. As long as Linux is ignored by the gaming companies making AAA titles, it will never be a real option for the entire gaming community. An average gamer doesn’t know nor want to spend time setting up everything and hoping nothing breaks when the OS/layer/game gets the next update. It should be “Install” and then play without ever really thinking about any underlying tech.
