Wdym cannot be touched?

Honestly, I’m just gonna stick to llamafile. I really don’t want to mess around with python. It also causes way more trouble than I anticipate

They don’t think they’re the arbitrer of scraping dumbass, this is a service they’re selling to websites who don’t want AI scrapers taking adnatage of them.

Technically it’s only for AI stuff, so honestly it doesn’t matter if you’re doing other stuff

Do you want it to be?

Will it actually save all that much?

Phoronix comments are a special place on the internet. Don’t go there for a good discussion.

Site is unreachable

.Net is open source bruh, it’s not proprietary

Didn’t think of that, but that sounds illegal

I prefer to use the ookla sppedtest CLI version. No bs but also better server coverage

Basically implementing windows in the Linux kernel? Something about this is really funny

Battery life, for another is unpredictable and quite bad. Most people I’ve talked to seem to assume performant/light = efficient when it comes to Linux. This is not the case. Once again, solutions exist, but they are not accessible to a regular person.

I’d post a blog post if there was one
