It is absolutely Broadcom’s fault, but it’s also still the state of things.

Thanks to Ubuntu, Mint is quite well endowed with functional software. If it can receive the same level of support as Windows or MacOS, it will probably outpace them both.

I have to say that I am getting pretty good at Linux. I use it on my gaming desktop, my 8 year old Lenovo, on a specialized workstation at work, and I have two servers running it. It’s approaching general utility.

That said, I am being defeated by Broadcom wireless drivers on a HP Enterprise laptop. They aren’t just working, and the wireless soft switch isn’t just turning on. Until we can get to the point where the average user can just try a bunch of .deb (or whatever) files until they hit the jackpot, it isn’t going to be as easily adopted.

I don’t get too technical with the court reporter software. They have their own license and receive direct support from their vendor. What I have seen is that there is an interpreting layer between the stenographer machine and the software, literally called magic by the vendor, that is a bit like predictive text. In this situation, the stenographer is actively recording and interpreting the results.

I work in judicial tech and have heard questions of using AI transcription tools. I didn’t believe AI should be used in this kind of high risk area. The ones asking if AI is a good fit for court transcripts can be forgiven because all they see is the hype, but if the ones responding greenlight a project like that there will be some incredibly embarrassing moments.

My other concern is that the court would have to run the service locally. There are situations where a victim’s name or other information is redacted. That information should not be on an Open AI server and should not be regurgitated back out when the AI misbehaves.

Thank you, I did have that wrong.

If you can afford it, a SSD will significant improve your life. Also, any more memory will help.

As others said, you can disable swap.

Are you running the xfce version of Mint? It’s significantly less resources.

Finnish them.

NCR names their motherboards after NASCAR tracks.

I have thought about it, but the assembly process has to be extraordinary simple. I would be terrified to know that the fastener I recommended sheared, taking someone’s life.

Also, there seems to be at least two extremes in DIY. One would be the individual who understands the processes and is doing it to show their technical prowess. The other would be the individual who desperately needs the end product.

It’s actually been good so far, but I couldn’t pass up the meme when I saw this image.

Also, I will be surprised if there is no tournament.

The trailer appears to be a Muppet of some kind

First time watching this person.

They only finished watching 2 anime this season.

Dungeon People (I liked it) Ramen Akuneko (I didn’t watch)

They recommended Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian and Bye Bye Earth, along with Yatagarasu, Slime, and Spice and wolf.

They feel that most people only watch 5-6 shows, so it’s fine.

Since they watched 9 shows this spring it gives them credibility.

There is some discussion about how one feels about their favorite shows.

My first impression of this influencer is that they are experiencing changes in taste.

My rant is that everyone slept on dead dead demons dededede destruction. Same reason. My cred is that I probably watched 45 shows this year.

Also, my taste is shit.

It does have tint. It’s a bit grainy to be sure, but I don’t see any condensation. It could be some fireball and big K, or it could be some brewed tea with Schmirinoff.

I’m just a kid who’s four Each day I grow some more I like exploring, I’m Caillou

I’m Caillou, Caillou Caillou, I’m Caillou

That’s me!

Thanks! I completely missed this thread somehow.

On a positive side, the Lemmy community in general does seem to be growing!

If it’s good, I’ll love it. I rarely drop anime.

Oof, strange that this site didn’t appear when I searched “great Sorting theory” with quotes. I know the quality of Google has gone downhill, but that’s a miss.

Also, noting that brownstone is rated as having poorly checked facts, leans far right, and libertarian policy before I go in.

Having skimmed the article, I see that the great Sorting theory states that COVID denialists are victims of government trod on by rules intended to keep the hospitals from overflowing.

I see stated in the article that when we make large matters of policy, we should consider our feelings over reason and science, comparing lockdown to the atrocities of Nazi Germany and stalinist Russia.

My reply is that all decisions should be well educated and be both logically reasoned and ethically sound. Telling people that decisions should be made emotionally and that Nazis use reason sounds like emotional manipulation.

I can’t find any articles on it and am not going to watch a video. The fact that is is Tucker Carlson also detracts from the validity. I will say that you will not find great truth in a YouTube video.

I was going to argue that it would not matter since the robot is mowing, but mowing at the beginning of the evening would mean a whole night before you have to deal with it.

One could set it for when they leave for work.

It make sense to do that and also to inspect your yard before a mow.

I would have thought that night is a prime time for automatic mowing, as there is less energy demand, but a timer on the mower charging station can solve that.

I was also originally thinking that people at night to reduce smog, but that is an issue more attributed to gas mowers.
