Alpaca and family are major examples Ive seen mentioned.

Yeah, the big premise is smaller models, along with more devs, means opensource iterates faster and produces better results more efficiently.

I hate to see what this could do to the very fledgling linux gaming rennace. Hopefully we see it get real teath before corporate Microsoft puts even more pressure on it.

This is what I tell people when they get frustrated learning how computers work. Its not like math or natural science, it’s all just useful levels of bullshit people made up to make the electric rocks do things. Learn what helps you understand how the rocks work to make it think about the things you care about.

Yeah, I realized I started to sound snarky when I said “I work on computers” when people ask me what I do. Didn’t mean it to sound dumb, it was just honestly the level of understanding about computers a lot strangers had when they asked.

Saying I did networking or worked with servers didn’t mean much, but sometimes people would ask me to work on their WiFi…

I feel like getting into opensource software is easier than it ever was at least, the biggest Barrie’s I see are people thinking they can’t and advertising making people defensive about sticking to proprietary options.

I also blame the education system, the fact that my computer teacher thought that opening R, trying to reconnect to WiFi, and opening the cmd prompt were all attempts at “hacking” is sad. The fact our robotics class shut down when the exchange student left, because he was the only who knew how to program was sadder.

Part of the problem is the people making the standards don’t even know how ignorant they are themselves. Like I at least recognize I have a lot learning to go, and lean heavily on people more experienced than me in fields I’m not the expert.

Every one learns something for the first time. Expert to noob all start in the same state of knowing nothing.

Matrix integration really is the move to make imhol

On Kinoite now and loving it, my next planned direction is ublue, because I really want to go the cloud native desktop route. I might even try and see if I can get my desktop stuff into a separate container running ontop of minimal coreos style system. Then building a new system, attach to new tty, and switching to see if I like it, will be my default tinkering path. Basically extend the toolbox concept to take care of the gui desktop space too.

Oh, what is that?

Can’t have a product potentially get past the early adopters phase can they.
