That person is either trying to instigate a civil war, or is trying to honeypot comrades.

well, when you read all their comments, they rather seem like a right-winger larping on what he thinks a “progressive” would hate. but the things they rail against are so all over the ideological spectrum that it’s impossible to really pin down exactly what their politics are. what really seals the deal for me is the constant arguing that everyone they call for the culling of are “traitors” to the US. putting it mildly, leftists don’t usually get so nationalistic. even your hardest Soviet-stanning commie is going to say reactionaries are enemies of the people first and foremost. and I don’t see many leftists ever calling for culling whole population groups just because they’re conservatives.

anyway, we had ourselves a chat and decided to ban them from the FAF. they’re either a cop, a nazi honeypot, or an idiot who is a danger to themselves and everyone around them.

thank you for bringing this to our attention.

🤣

Oh, so we should have let the fascists keep running amok?

that isn’t what they said, you fucking idiot.

I would, but Matrix is being Matrix and I’m unable to join.

OK, Sable is fucking amazing. there’s like three other people on the FAF matrix that are using it now, thanks for the recommendation!

I’ll check it out

I would probably go with one of the ones that supports clustering. if you have that many users, you may very well end up expanding and needing the room to do so. ejabbard has a focus on scalability, and they’ve been around since 2002.

yes they do

XMPP is a pretty wide umbrella, with a lot of very mature alternatives that are stable and consume very little resources.

fair enough. but most of what we use matrix for is chatting, meme channels, and gaming. and the voice features on fluxer are better than matrix, especially since not all matrix clients even support voice.

I don’t need something “just like Matrix”. E2EE in Matrix sucks and we had to remake several rooms on the FAF Matrix because a bunch of people couldn’t read anything. I need something that actually works most of the time and doesn’t have constant and myriad problems. the fact that most of fedi uses Matrix is even more regrettable considering the plethora of mature alternatives that work well and are stable.

ugh matrix sucks and I wish it wasn’t the preferred form of communication for everyone on fedi.

once fluxxer gets federation I’m gonna be done with matrix forever.

the people who told us that LLMs were going to usher in a utopia where nobody worked are now telling us that LLMs that can’t stop hallucinating are gonna end the world.

I’ll believe it when they can do arithmetic correctly.

seconded. the Flow Z13 with 128gb of unified memory is a beast for both gaming and local AI.

Since you didn’t list a budget, allow me to recommend the ASUS Flow Z13. That’s what I have, and if you get the model with 128gb of unified memory, you can safely dedicate 96gb of that to the GPU for use with local models, allowing you to very easily run models that are too large for people with two 5090s to run. technically you could use more, but you want to keep a fair amount restricted to use as RAM so the system doesn’t run out of memory. best of all, since the machine overclocked has a maximum of 90w for power usage, even under full load it uses less power than most people’s gaming rigs do when idle. I know from experience that it is possible to run this device off of a small solar panel. when you are doing something low power, like browsing fedi, the power usage drops to around 5-10w on cachyos, meaning you get 6-8 hours of use per charge for low-power tasks. that drops to 1 hour when gaming, since it has a 70wh battery and the system normally uses 70w under load, but like most gaming laptops you will likely be plugged in when gaming so you get the full performance power.

for gaming, it’s pretty good too. the AMD RYZEN AI MAX+ 395 in it has a Radeon™ 8060S built in, giving it about the performance of a 3060, except that it has potentially 96gb of VRAM. meaning you will have no issues setting textures to the absolute maximum in any game. I get good frames in most games, easily reaching over 100fps in most of the titles I play, like Dune: Awakening. you can use G-Helper for linux to do things like control fan and power profiles, if you want to really optimize things.

the biggest issue with this device is the price. it was never cheap, since it launched after the RAM shortage started, and things have obviously gotten worse since then. it’s a serious investment. but as far as laptops for use with local AI go, I don’t think there’s currently a better option, all things considered.

why would they need to defend things that somebody else said? that’s dumb as fuck.

What a ridiculous definition of freedom

the fuck kind of weird ass freedom are you imagining when you huff your own BO?

What does that have to do with Unruffled?

slava Ukraini

In all the time I’ve known @flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com, I don’t recall ever hearing them utter a pro-Ukrainian slogan of any kind. This is just utter nonsense and an outright lie.
