Strålsäkerhetsmyndigheten: Regeringens tidsplan för ny kärnkraft håller inte in c/sweden@lemmy.world
[–] sith@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Ny konventionell kärnkraft i Sverige kommer aldrig att hända. Det är verkligen helt omöjligt. Släpp det och försöka istället att hitta en bred kompromiss som bygger på 100% SMR och kostar 1/10. Så kan vi släppa den här hjärndöda debatten. SMR kan gå på export till platser där elpriset är högt, ifall elpriset är för lågt för drift i Sverige. Eventuell effektbrist och höga elpriser botas enklast och billigast med mindre export och/eller förändrad prissättning.

True. Source seems legit. Thought it was click bait.

Probably wrong by an order of magnitude. But still good.

Just buy a Steam Deck instead.

Quit?

Is cachyos the best distro for gaming support? (all amd) in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world
[–] sith@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago

Agree! Tumbleweed is by far the best stable rolling release distribution as of February 2025.

Nix and Guix are the only alternatives IMO. Given that you're into modern hipster distributions and want to feel special.

Arch doesn't add any value and is pretty much last season.

openSUSE Tumbleweed is the distribution for you.

There is no reason to use Arch at all ever. It has a good wiki and thats pretty much it. If you want an advanced modern distribution you should go with Nix or Guix. Arch is very much last season and doesn't add any value over "normal" distributions.

EDIT: after doing some reading on Cachy, I change my mind. It seems like a good choice because of the kernel optimizations and the rollback support. I would still prefer Tumbleweed, but mostly because I nurture an irriational dislike for anything Arch.

How can I tell if my GPU is being utilized properly? in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world
[–] sith@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Unless you've solved the issue by know, I would recommend to install openSUSE Tumbleweed. It's an "beginner friendly" "stable" rolling release distribution with rollback support. After the first update, everything should just work.

Almost certainly the game isn't running on the GPU. Use rocm-smi to see which processes are using the discrete GPU. Should be similar to nvidia-smi.

Also, check the Proton status of your games at ProtonDB.

Because its a more user friendly experience. Your grandma can use it with no hustle. Matrix is more complicated UX and also much slower and buggier (at least if you use Element and matrix.org). Ive actually started to prefer Delta Chat over Matrix.

Opinion: The best trade retaliation? Hit the U.S. with a carbon-tax tariff in c/climate@slrpnk.net

Yes. It's about to activate in 2026, I believe.

Did "Le Chat" just start to "reason"? (chat.mistral.ai)
 

Suddenly I'm seeing a new style of chain of thought answers. Would make sense if Mistral built something new based on DeepSeek. But maybe I'm just hallucinating. No info about this on their website. What do you think?

What are your thoughts on FUTO? (futo.org)
 

Just learned about the FUTO keyboard. The source code license, the AI features and the requiremen to activate my microphone, made my BS/malware alarm go bzzz. So I looked up FUTO, and apparently it is an organization similar to FSF (but different).

So what is this FUTO thing? Are they good and trustworthy? Or is this just some new drug fueled eccentric crypto AI BS from Texas?

Is it "safe" to use the FUTO keyboard?

The Big Tech propaganda machine is in overdrive (semianalysis.com)
 

FYI: DeepSeek was completely open about this from the beginning. The initial figure was about comparing apples with apples. Now Big Tech propaganda compare apples and oranges to save their investment and oligarchy.

Full size DeepSeek R1 within the EU? (lemmy.zip)
 

If one wants to try a full size DeepSeek R1 model that is hosted within the EU, what provider do you recommended?

It's a big plus if privacy is good. And I'm not interested in big tech solutions.

Will 2025 be the year that venture capital discovers the Fediverse? (lemmy.zip)
 

Last couple of months has been dramatic and there is a huge demand for ethical and safe social media. Even mainstream conservatives start to look for alternatives when US oligarchs wage hybrid warfare against their nation.

And there are so many low hanging fruits right now. Like Facebook event and marketplace replacements on the fediverse. Or just a Facebook alternative that isn't Frendica. Or maybe a commercial fork of Frendica.

I'm not involved in any development of fediverse software, so I'm asking here. Do you experience more interest from venture capital?

Also, I assume EU will pour big money into social media alternatives, starting 2025.

Note: I'm not interested in a discussion regarding if VC is good or bad for the fediverse. That's a good topic for another post though.

I need a Facebook replacement (lemmy.zip)
 

I plan to end my Facebook account before January 19. I like the format and would like something similar in the Fediverse. Also, I need a good Facebook alternative I can show people when trying to convince them to leave Facebook.

So what is the best Facebook alternative as of 2025? Frendica, Diaspora or Pleroma? Or something new and promising?
