They probably have some heavily customized chinesium distro running on that thing. With a mangled and patched old kernel that never gets updated.
Yeah, and my question would be, what do you do with anything without Linux support? I stopped buying electronics that I can't run my favorite OS on, like 2 decades ago 😆
I mean it's probably computers in general. The amount of Windows support requests I get from relatives.... They also don't get how to fix file associations, their printer stopped working for the second time in a year or they clicked on "update" and now they're on Win 11 and having massive issues with it. I'd say computers are just difficult to deal with, sometimes... Maybe an iPhone has lower maintenance. But I don't think it has anything to do with Linux. Some people refuse to acknowledge that. I've used both. And a Logitech mouse definitely works.
Tl;dr: China only, Unknown CPU, unspecified GPU, no Linux support.
Seems the two German supermarket chains really like to have the same infrastructure everywhere. Everywhere I go the Aldis look exactly the same. They have slightly different products depending on the country. But the price tags, interior, ... is basically the same. Okay and we don't have "Flaschenpfand" everywhere... (deposit on the plastic bottles and the machines where you can return bottles.) I bet all of this makes it a lot easier for their techs and management. And it could also explain why they sometimes redo a store that still looks fine and fit it with the latest shenanigans.
And as an aside: I've shopped in the first Aldi store ever. It's not far from where I live.
Nice, didn't know about HomeBox. Are there other good inventory systems for home use?
They're already widely adopted in supermarkets here (Germany).
Yeah, you're not doing it right. On Github you have to click on "Insights". And alike Lemmy which is split into two parts, llama.cpp also has a backend called ggml that does the (tensor) maths. Combined, the git stats are as following for the last four weeks:
So they definitely touch a lot more code regularly. Whichever PRs you clicked on, they added 50 times as much new lines of code in the same timeframe. And coding things like that is maths heavy and you also need to read the scientific papers and implement the maths. And they did quite some maths themselves and contributed their quanitzation techniques and benchmarked and studied them in addition to the coding. I'm really impressed by the guy. And he seems nice and attracted quite some contributors with his excellent and fast software. Reviews and comments their ideas and integrates them fast. And now it's a flourishing project that leads in its field. And the project isn't even that old...
I get it. Software development isn't that easy. Especially the 'touching different parts of the code' is something I don't really like. I mean it is like it is. And having architectural patterns like this is fairly common (logic, database, UI) and you have like 2 models of the data, one for federation and then the internal representation. I'm not that familiar with the Rust frameworks and how cumbersome it is to deal with them. With the correct database abstraction toolkit and other frameworks it gets better and you can often tie the stuff together. Also helps with the bugs. If it's really bad, maybe the architecture isn't optimal. Or the chosen frameworks suck. Other than that it's the job of a programmer to tie those aspects together, deal with the complexity and combine it into a working product.
I'm not even sure if you can assure that Lemmy has no bugs... I mean unit tests, integration tests and reviews won't cut it with distributed or federated software, right? I mean you'd need to roll out a small cloud of instances and do end to end tests, check if everything federates and if there are performance regressions... I'm not sure where Lemmy is regarding this. I occasionally observe when something big happens like federation breaking.
Sure. And UI programming is also something that is not really fun to me. I'm also not sure why it hasn't more contributors. Maybe the atmosphere isn't that welcoming to new people. Or the userbase in total is just too small. I mean fediverse observer reports like 50k Lemmy users, and that's not that much people if we're talking about the subset of people who learned programming and have the spare time to contribute. Maybe it's too interlinked with the rest of the code or not documented enough. I'd say it's probably not that attractive to get involved because it's mainly small bugfixes that can be implemented without also getting involved with the rest of the project. And apart from drive-by pull requests, people usually have some bigger vision when they join a project.
That makes more sense. Thanks.
I think it's a bit of a chicken and egg problem if the revenue depends on the product. Lemmy needs to be shiny, grow and be attractive to attract more money. And they need more money to do it. Currently the userbase is stagnant at a bit less than 50k active users. I'm not sure if the community will jump in and provide the required amount of money if the situation stays as is.
Thanks. So the number on join-lemmy.org already includes the NLnet fund? I suppose that means you get ~600€ a month from the other (independent) supporters?
I'm confused. Liberapay 1.679$ + Patreon 1.165€ + OpenCollective 935$ + Crypo
adds up to the ~3.600€ but in which category are the NLnet bank transfers?
Kinda depends on productivity. I'd say 45k to 60k€ is alright for an average coding job in some company. I don't know the details here. For self-employed people that varies a lot and developing Lemmy propapbly doesn't compare to a salaried job at all.
Loooool 😵
Kommentator(in) hat überhapt nicht verstanden worum es überhaupt irgendwie geht. Die Kinder sind denen doch ein willkommener und vorgeschobener Grund. Im Grunde werden sie aber damit vor den Bus geworfen und nur instrumentalisiert. Eigentlich geht es ja darum den Überwachungsstaat auszubauen. Wenn sie Kindern helfen möchte, wäre es ja mal angemessen überhaupt etwas vorzuschlagen was denen hilft und nicht noch mehr schadet und das Problem unter den Teppich kehrt.... ?!?
Vor allem ist das ja ziemicher Konsens. Polizei sagt das wird sie mit Millionen falschen Treffern beschäftigt halten, so dass sie komplett gelähmt sind und überhaupt nix mehr verfolgen können. Die Firmen und Platformbetreiber sagen das geht so nicht. Gut außer die ganz großen, die können das. Und die Bürgerrechtler schreien auch auf...
Nix davon mitbekommen? Aber mal nen Kommentar absetzen? Ich meine was ist denn mit den armen Kindern? Denkt denn niemand an die?
Ja lass mal als Preis machen wir geben einfach unsere Rechte auf. Autokratie ist ja auch ganz nett. Und mit den mißbrauchten Kindern... Da machen wir ne Sperre vor, damit das niemand mehr mitbekommen muss. Das fühlt sich auch viel besser an. Polizei mehr geschultes Personal bezahlen? Ha! Das ist nun wirklich unrealistisch und DER Preis ist ja wohl zu hoch.
Edit: Ich hab auch noch mehr Ideen: Privatspäre komplett verbieten. Jeder macht seine Gardinen weg und die Haustür muss jederzeit offen stehen. Oder wir verbieten Kinder. Oder Menschen im Allgemeinen. Oder einfach das Internet... Sollte man mal Alles diskutieren...
Also schön, dass es ihre Meinung ist und der Artikel auch korrekt betitelt. Es ist aber eine außerordentlich dumme und uninformierte Meinung. Ich habe aber das Gefühl, richtig dumme Meinungen vertreten ist so halbwegs salonfähig geworden.
Frage mich auch wie sie dann Journalismus betreiben will wenn sie keinen Quellenschutz mehr betreiben kann. Entweder will oder kann sie das eh nicht, oder sie meint so wie die EU Minister, sich selbst schön Auszuklammern davon und nur den gemeinen Pöbel überwachen zu lassen.
Fühlt sich für mich genauso an wie den neuesten geistigen Dünnschiss der AfD zu lesen, wie sie mal wieder die Wirtschaft ruinieren wollen, alles verbieten und den Renteneintritt auf 70 anheben... Hoffentlich glauben denen nicht zu viele Menschen...
