The next episode of our monthly chat + feedback thread.

No matter what topic, if you want to talk about it then just write it in a comment :)

Last month was uneventful for me, so I don't have a comment this time.

I still remember when Nvidia said they were gonna stop carrying about gamers, I got scared that AMD turns into Intel, but no, they still don't have the monopole and Nvidia still continue to make gamers' GPU.

I see, I do hope the best for every kernel. One day Linux will be the perfect kernel Linux is the perfect kernel, just need it not to turn into shit and be secured.

I did HTML before, I just haven't practiced in two~three month, which is concerning when you want to make a website. I don't even remember what I have to finish on my website.

For Arch it's a good thing that the wiki and documentation is complete and well explained, but when I want to fix something, sometimes I just don't want to spend 2h or 3h reading docs and trying to fix it. And sometime asking people for help is also one of the biggest loss of time I did.

I don't listen much to rap, sometime, but not often. I probably listen more to metal than I listen to rap. And I don't listen to country at all.

    Yeah, I remember it to which is why I basically decided to say, "Screw NVIDIA!" and basically can't be bothered with them anymore. If they can easily forget what made them popular due to a temporary gold rush...They can get buggered when the gold rush dies down. AMD is...Doing AMD things, classic not taking advantage of the situation and being cool AF. Instead, they are being weird as always. But at least we have open source drivers for their hardware so I don't find it as concerning as with NVIDIA. Intel...Well, I don't know about that one, they are being weird lately too.

    Yeah, I think there is a chance for every kernel but the mainline, until the AI bubble bursts, and the technical debt gets to be so great they have to simply reset the whole damn thing to fix it. The outliers are going to be a lot healthier because they aren't being developed using AI filth, and instead people power. Carefully, at a pace that makes the most sense for the team at hand. In languages they are familiar with. There will be no perfect kernel, but there will be good to great ones based on use case.

    Hmm, well, a refresher is always in order. I tend to do have an episode that leads to accidental forgetting to do the thing. I also document my stuff well enough that I know where I actually stopped in case of a long gap in-between what I was working on does happen. Maybe a good practice so that you may recall stuff in the future.

    Yeah, Arch is pretty good about that...With more experience, that troubleshooting gap can shrink. I dunno, it is up to you on that one. I won't try to convince you of anything. LOL Asking people for help can be the greatest boon or bane depending on the group.

    Yeah, Rap is a rare genre listen for me, the poetic element is mostly tainted with topics that don't particularly communicate interesting ideas or experiences to me, these days. Country is really only Orville Peck, as he is one of the few, that I can stand to listen to. He sings about really fascinating subject matter, that transcends the normal genre barrier for me, so this curious shork listens.

    I won't buy Nvidia stuff in the future, unless it's the least expensive (like it was the case for my actual computer). I did heard about a Chinese brand that's gonna try to sell in the western, the performance are not top of the line but worst it for the price.

    Yeah, still wish for the bubble to burst very soon, even though I doubt it will have an effect on people that use local LLM... (maybe it will, I don't know)

    I have lots of comments, that's not the issue, I understand myself...I just need to reread the entire code to understand what I mean. At some point I'll have so many comments that my code will be brain dead to understand 😹

    The only help I asked is to fix the OBS issue I have, but I doubt anybody will ever see my request at this point...

    Rap tend to be about, well, dehumanizing topics, so not very good for me. I should give it a try then 👀

    Yeah, that is the choice I decided upon as well. Just don't buy NVIDIA. I will likely settle on Intel and AMD because they both have open source drivers.

    No, it won't affect Local LLM use, but it will destroy the most offending usage which is corporate LLMs that power unsavory things, that has a knock on effect on the limiting the damage to open source.

    LOL Good luck, seems like you have a task ahead of you!

    Hmm..Yeah, OBS is something I haven't worked with firsthand so I have little knowledge on how to fix it personally. So I couldn't say either way. I might have seen it but breezed by it because immutable distros complicate matters a bit too much to make troubleshooting particularly easy.

    Rap does tend to be dehumanizing in subject matter, you just have to find the rappers who are rapping about topics that matter. Like breaking cycles of oppression, cool shit, etc. Hard to find given what is boosted by the music industry at the moment. I think Orville Peck in terms of country is the best (only starting point) he is so fascinating in terms of a singer/songwriter.

    I just want to go full AMD, multiplication of drivers = multiplication of risk of issues.

    At least that's a good thing.

    I do, indeed.

    It's not just OBS, but it's because it's on OBS that I found out about the issue.

    At the moment it's not the type of music that people do like, I hope it'll change.
