  • I don’t really subscribe to the whole if civilization collaspes there will be no technology in anyone’s lifetime again thing. You aren’t going to go back to ordering shit off amazon from your smartphone or anything. However the knowledge that things like refrigeration, radio transmission, internal combustion engines, water treatment and such are possible is going to drive people to eventually find out how to get it by any means necessary.

    How quickly this happens is a question of whether the majority of people adopt a “technology is too dangerous/a sin against God” idealogy or not.




  • I don’t really subscribe to Arch or Debian being better or worse than each other. I encounter issues just as frequently on both. Maybe it’s a little harder to do things in Debian because the repositories don’t update as often but the AUR is where a lot of important stuff is and that’s a pain to deal with too.

    Either way it’s better than using Windows.




  • Mike Johnson’s political stances:

    A nationwide abortion ban.

    A nationwide ban on gay marriage.

    Heavy restrictions on medical marijuana prescriptions and a ban on recreational marijuana.

    Ending military aid to Ukraine.

    Gay conversion therapy.

    Federal law against gender affirming care for those under 18.

    Eliminating funding for immigration and refugee assistance.

    A federal version of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill.

    Prayer in public schools.

    Laws making divorce more difficult.

    Johnson does not believe in climate change or that Biden legitimately won the 2020 election. He is a young earth creationist believing the Earth was created between 6-10k years ago. He basically checks every box of a christofascist.

    This guy deserves a lot more hate than he is currently getting. Yes, Trump is evil but that doesn’t mean Mike Johnson gets a free pass. When the Trump bubble bursts, he will become the new furher so get ready.





  • Actually I got an nvidia card working on easy diffusion on Debian. The barrier for getting a text chat ai working with gpu acceleration is actually the fact that I don’t have the patience to deal with all that python venv nonsense so I use llamacpp. It runs in c++ which means no python dependencies to fuck you with at the cost of slower cpu-only generation.

    Easy Diffusion just happens to be simple enough that I could actually figure out how to get it to work (it’s in python and needs a virtual environment) but it’s a different story for the text ais.

    If you actually had the patience and knowledge to deal with all the python issues and/or had a distro that makes it easy (different distros deal with pip differently), I don’t doubt you’d be able to get Nvidia card acceleration working on some text chat ai.
