I just want to say I transitioned over to Dockhand and I’m glad I did! Thanks again for the recommendation!

The article said they were existing publications that had a regular readership before they were replaced with slop

This is depressing, thankfully I have never even heard of any of their listed publications.

This has been true for a few years now, but indie studios have been making far more interesting games than the big studios. Add to that the fact that big AAA projects need to tack on tons and tons of money-making add-ons that degrade the experience in order to justify the cost of a decade of development, and the industry seems to actually be trending towards the artistry and innovation you mentioned.

Honestly I don’t remember ever hearing anyone mention Transistor since it released either. Hades definitely proved that they aren’t one hit wonders.

I am a patient gamer™ to the max but if you’re going to pay a higher price for any game this year, this is the one IMO.

Besides that, my only complaint with this game (and it is minor) is that I just can’t stand the UE5 slop anymore. I think Expedition 33 did possibly the best job I’ve ever seen with engine (the weird, amorphous detailed-but-generic textures didn’t detract as much as they usually do because of whole the painting-like aspect) but with everything else, like gameplay and story as strong as it was I would have preferred anything, even a low-res low-poly look.

What are you paying for 800gb?

LLMs can quickly produce outputs that can fool people into thinking a human wrote it, but they cannot write “good” code for the same reason they cannot write good prose, and that’s because they have no understanding of what the code means. The only thing they are rewarded with in training is “are humans able to tell that this thing wasn’t made by a human?” and if the answer is “no” it gets it’s digital training cookie. That’s all LLMs “know”.

So getting back to your question, there is no reason LLMs can’t be used to assist a programmer, or even one day quickly create bespoke software for single use/short term purposes. But a project being FOSS kind of definitionally implies collaboration to ensure reliability which is very difficult when LLMs are used, since again, they don’t have an understanding of what specific code actually means.

IMO anyone ascribing ethics or morals to LLMs (not its use but the technology itself), even in a negative light is grossly exaggerating their capabilities, often unintentionally. LLMs do not have will, they cannot develop a will. They are not curious, they cannot become curious, they cannot understand the world. They do not understand English or Javascript.

You know more than me

Look into NGINX Proxy manager and DuckDNS

Portainer has worked well for me but it has so much that I don’t need or use. It looks like Dockhand has a Home Assistant integration which is nice, so I’ll check that out thanks for the rec.

Same and same! I don’t think it’s fully sunk in for a lot of Linux die-hards the game changer that is immutability/flatpaks.

Yes but I recommend waiting until someone makes a version of Linux specifically for Bigscreen because it’s not really ready yet

It’s in the post. They wanted immutability:

“Unraid has always been a so-called immutable OS— however you modify your server, if you go in there, you type the wrong command, you delete all the files from your root, you still could just reboot and you’re back to the virgin release… and that’s a big reason why we’ve chosen Fedora [uCore].”

— Tom Mortensen, creator of Unraid

Not running on a Pi yet, any spying would depend on the distro. There’s no dedicated Bigscreen distro yet but I’m pretty sure it’s being worked on.

That’s true even the premium brands won’t halfway decent CPUs in them to keep the giant bloated menus from stuttering.

There’s no best answer right now, Plasma Bigscreen is making good progress.

I have to imagine they’ll soon be putting cellular antennas in the TVs to circumvent all that anyway.

I could never get those Android TV builds to work with CEC which kind of defeats the purpose for me. I’ll try it out with the next update. Librelec had no issues.
