If you

• need discoverability, or
• don’t need anything composable

then sure GUIs are great.

That’s actually a great question, safer to ask your LLM directly! So helpful. /s

Eh… don’t want to be mean but that’s what’s called an “IP address” for Internet Protocol Address… but this one is for your LAN, aka Local Area Network.

So that won’t work, people outside your LAN can’t reach it. What you need instead is a domain. What most people don’t know though is that there is a special domain name anybody can use for free! Check this out, assuming your LLM did the right setup do all that step, making website, starting Web server then try :

localhost and voila, free domain from your newly generated websites!

Damn… money laundering though LIVE with its “gifts” I never thought about this. Everything else is wrong, at scale, but this surprised me.

OK you can hate HOMEwork and instead do everything at school or work, namely study there, but what genuinely matters for studying is that you DO do the work. You have to do the exercises, over and over again, more and more challenging, otherwise nothing gets through. You only get the “feeling” of understanding without getting the practice.

Learning without practice is like being a theoretical athlete. Hate homework but love studying.

And rightfully so. They might not know much about Linux itself BUT they did dare try and for that they deserve recognition.

Fucking manipulate idiot.

Classic GenAI marketing BS :

• show a superficial demo (literally it’s JUST the surface of the things you claim you can “generate”)
• imply that we are on the “brink” of radical change so we “just” have to wait then the “rest” will be generated
• move on to the next grandiose claim to make sure nobody goes beyond the surface

It’s so obvious it’s painful. Sure it’s not random, sure there is “progress” but it’s NEVER tackling the hard problem. What makes a game fun or exciting isn’t the generated world, only a non gamer would claim that.

Back to LFS.

I feel seen.

Thanks for the clarification but is it for non-local DMs only or even local DMs and if so why?

Admins of most services where data aren’t encrypted can read data that is not public so I’d assume that by default.

Now my question specifically is about “Joe public”.

Yep, I guess the way you said it was more diplomatic than mine because with (I believe at least) the same message I’m getting downvoted for asking for more open source but you don’t, weird.

I didn’t said it was the only motivation.

The lesson here is that your assumption about how the system works is wrong.

That means can mean 1 important thing :

• it was not explained clearly enough for you during your onboarding.

Consequently I suggest you recall when you started using Lemmy, how you heard about it, how you then understood how it work and thus potentially update the documentation (or whatever you relied on then) accordingly so that others don’t make the same mistake.

everything you do on here is fully public.

Even DMS?

Steam isn’t open source either

…and? I wish Steam also was open source but I don’t see how that’s relevant here.

We’re discussing about a position for someone who probably likes, or at least understand, open source because that’s the motivation for most people when they consider Linux. It’s important to highlight what it is and what it is not, unfortunately.

There are open source games too.

What is the point of thus very community? Is it “just” to play or rather is it to play better, whatever that might mean? I personally do not believe promoting proprietary software helps go further but you might disagree. Can you please explain then WHY more proprietary launchers and games is good?

No mention of open source though.

you would be surprised how much work a CPU under 100mhz can do when there isn’t an operating system/browser in the way

Latest cool thing I saw : Doom on my earbuds doombuds.com which IMHO demonstrate greatly how much more powerful so many tiny things around us really are.

Worst part is … he’s still right according to the stock. That’s just madness.
