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 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.

    Yeah, it is good to commit to a particular vendor to simplify your set-up so that you don't have...Driver conflicts which could be simple to difficult to solve. In my experience NVIDIA hasn't been the root of most of my difficult driver problems, it was always Windows (when I used it) providing me the wrong ones because a Microsoft chud believed they knew better than me. ROFL

    Yeah, it would be good if Corpo LLMs collapsed hard, fast, without mercy.

    Oofta, yeah, that is why I am keeping a strict schedule on my own education with Python so I don't get lost.

    Oofta, I didn't read too deep...But, I do hope that they fix that issue on Bazzite, as you might have to wait for a fix if you haven't already reported it to the Bazzite team.

    I think it is a mix of expectations and what people are conditioned to like, as rap started out with very different roots. It goes far back as the West African practice that combines: historian, storyteller, praise singer, poet, and/or musician into one person! Sad that current rappers are singing about the darkness, pain existing within communities instead of the hope, a desire for direct action and change.

    Yeah, Winslop is called Winslop for a reason...

    I should commit to the same thing

    No, I didn't report it 😅

    Oh yeah, I did find some rap that wasn't being negative, but they aren't popular artist, so people don't know about them
