vermaterc@lemmy.mlto Technology@beehaw.org•Fortnite now lets you chat with Darth Vader using generative AI speech [Eurogamer]10·1 month agoHonestly, a few years ago when ChatGPT was becoming popular, I thought it would be much more common by now to be able to talk to characters in games. Yet here we are in 2025 with existing, quite good voice assistance technology and gaming world does not seem to be particularly interested
vermaterc@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•The FOSS 'Someday' Thread: Projects On Your Radar But Not Your System (Yet)1·1 month agoThanks, that might be helpful. Is this bug related to VirtualBox installation or Raspberry Pi?
Have you reported this bug somewhere? It might be a good idea to let nixos team know this problem occurs
vermaterc@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.ml•ChatGPT's hallucination problem is getting worse according to OpenAI's own tests and nobody understands why10·1 month agoIt is literally an algorytm made to hallucinate. The fact that it outputs accurate facts is more of a side effect.
vermaterc@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•The FOSS 'Someday' Thread: Projects On Your Radar But Not Your System (Yet)3·1 month agoFor now I use Mint + etckeeper + Timeshift as a form of backup, but I have never had a courage nor need to “try it” and actually restore state 😆
vermaterc@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•The FOSS 'Someday' Thread: Projects On Your Radar But Not Your System (Yet)16·1 month agoMy dream is to have entire operating system state stored as configuration, tracked by a git repo. To be able to know exactly what changed when, to revert back to whatever state I want and quickly copy setup from one device to another. So naturally NixOS caught my attention. I tried it before, once on Virtual Box VM and once on Raspberry Pi and I failed with installation of it on both of them, my weekend was too short :D It was a few years ago, it might get better now.
vermaterc@lemmy.mlOPto Firefox@lemmy.ml•You asked, we built it: Firefox tab groups are here | The Mozilla Blog3·2 months agoIsn’t profile management introduced like right now in the same release?
vermaterc@lemmy.mlto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Firefox 138 Now Available for Download, Here’s What’s New1·2 months agoI have read this post’s description and didn’t even open a link, since it didn’t sound interesting. But two big features are introduced in this release: **tab groups and profile management **
vermaterc@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•System76 Releases COSMIC Alpha 7 Desktop - Last Step Before Beta71·2 months agoWhy do everyone emphasize the fact that it is Rust based? What difference does it make? Personally, I don’t care whether it’s written in Rust, Cobol or Brainfuck. Badly written software would be buggy no matter the language.
To be successful, Firefox should not only try to keep up with the competition, but also offer some unique features that would attract new users.
I agree that LLMs are overhyped, but in my opinion they are quite good at summarising text. We all hate clickbait titles, and this feature has the potential to actually combat them. And what’s unique about Firefox’s approach is that it’s truly private. No other browser offers this.
hey @ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org, here’s a hint: you don’t have to use it ;)
Pretty good article, went into some technical stuff, which surprised me as in Linux world I’m used to articles discussing changes in wallpapers between different distro releases :D
vermaterc@lemmy.mlOPto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Automatically generated page summaries as an experimental feature of Firefox 139 nightly12·2 months agoIt reportedly works entirely on your machine (as it meant to be privacy preserving by default). So it will probably see only the data you can see.
vermaterc@lemmy.mlOPto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Automatically generated page summaries as an experimental feature of Firefox 139 nightly15·2 months agoMaybe because it is, an article says later “Saltiness aside” 😏
For start definitely Linux Mint. It is stable, has strong support, works out of the box.
