I might check it out for my Windows VM then. Thanks.

How does revi compare to AtlasOS?

DONT USE UNETBOOTIN. This tool more often than not breaks something and causes issues for people. Somebody I know used it and broke booting into Windows, he had to use a USB anyway to fix the bootloader.

FYI it fails to fetch votes if you don’t include https:// at the start.

Yes, I use it often and it works great now.

I understand it well. It’s still relevant to mention that you can run the distilled models on consumer hardware if you really care about privacy. 8GB+ VRAM isn’t crazy, especially if you have a ton of unified memory on macbooks or some Windows laptops releasing this year that have 64+GB unified memory. There are also websites re-hosting various versions of Deepseek like Huggingface hosting the 32B model which is good enough for most people.

Instead, the article is written like there is literally no way to use Deepseek privately, which is literally wrong.

DeepSeek is open source, meaning you can modify code(new window) on your own app to create an independent — and more secure — version. This has led some to hope that a more privacy-friendly version of DeepSeek could be developed. However, using DeepSeek in its current form — as it exists today, hosted in China — comes with serious risks for anyone concerned about their most sensitive, private information.

Any model trained or operated on DeepSeek’s servers is still subject to Chinese data laws, meaning that the Chinese government can demand access at any time.

What??? Whoever wrote this sounds like he has 0 understanding of how it works. There is no “more privacy-friendly version” that could be developed, the models are already out and you can run the entire model 100% locally. That’s as privacy-friendly as it gets.

“Any model trained or operated on DeepSeek’s servers are still subject to Chinese data laws”

Operated, yes. Trained, no. The model is MIT licensed, China has nothing on you when you run it yourself. I expect better from a company whose whole business is on privacy.

Every algorithm is just sorting. Facebook sorts which posts should be shown on top and which should be pushed down. Posts that have a bad rank aren’t shown to many people - and eventually - none at all.

Sorting by new?

From what I understand Discord’s screensharing was fixed on the Canary version (which is the beta version of Discord) but not yet in the stable package. Try installing that and trying it out.

It’s a fairly difficult game, yeah. The combat is more akin to Sekiro where you need to time your blocks.

Nine Sols. Really underrated metroidvania that flew under the radar for many people.

Title is misleading as hell. They added the option to set it as the default. It is not the default for everyone moving forward.

Oh my god, it’s happening!

What’s wild to me is, that Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom didn’t appear once on this list.

Makes sense to me IMO. 2023 was a stacked year, and while TotK was a pretty good game, it was way too close to Breath of the Wild for me to even consider it as game of the year. Other games that could’ve won the award over it include Alan Wake 2, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Hi-Fi Rush, and Octopath Traveler 2.

Seriously. I don’t doubt a lot of effort is going into it but I’ve been hearing “gimp 3 soon” for like 3 years now

How does this compare to Revolt?

So basically “there weren’t enough mean spirited reviews on Cosmic so I’ll write my own”. The OP can say he doesn’t like it without making fun of the fanbase and trashing the company for checks notes reporting people’s positive experiences.

Sooo… Cosmic is for the tiny sliver of users that want a DE… that tiles? Or those that buy a System76 machine and never change the DE?

Those that are fed up with GNOME and/or are looking for an alternative DE are a huge chunk of the Linux userbase. That’s literally why they created it. With Gnome reducing customizability and having 5-year old bugs never get fixed and breaking necessary extensions every update, it was warranted.

it feels like the developers are already riding on the endorphins from all the praise and forget their software is after all in a rough state.

Why? They have public milestones and bug trackers while things seem to move at a good pace. At no point are they just sitting on praise doing nothing.

Google pays Firefox a lot of cash to be the default search engine on their browser.

They tried. It was called UWP, but it never caught on and Microsoft quickly realized nobody wanted to use their store or even bother with the new format, so all their games also have a normal x86 version.

Yup, same here. Youtube broke something so you’ll have to wait for an update. Grayjay is still working for me if you need another app to see videos.
