Ya I’m so sick of hearing “can’t mention that, YouTube will demonetize me” on videos (or what amounts to that with censored language, topics, blurred guns now, etc.) Just makes it very clear we’re living in a corporate echo chamber where everything must align with what advertisers want. How about what the viewers want??? Fuck the advertisers

You could try llamaCPP, I think its configured to run better on cpu’s

So far this actually seems like a good, privacy respecting implementation of a chatbot. Good for those who don’t want to go the full offline selfhosted route IMO

Having used many distros (gaming-oriented and otherwise) Nobara would be my recommendation as well.

People saying “doesn’t matter” aren’t considering someone brand new to Linux would probably benefit from an out-of-the-box gaming ready distro (nvidia drivers ready, rgb drivers built in for gaming laptops, other gaming specific tweaks and fixes that they won’t know to install on say mint, a perfectly fine, general use distro). Not to say they wouldn’t be able to do all that on mint or Ubuntu or whatever with a bit of googling and effort, but they’re asking specifically for gaming.

Constant cunty moves like this is why I will not spend one fucking red cent on anything Nintendo ever again.

Yet again, this was not impacting their business/profits in any way shape or form, if anything it helps keep their brand relevant, and they still fuck it up for everyone.

Pirate everything Nintendo.

Retroarch + Vimm’s lair is one good source for ROMs for those starting out.

Fair but thats your choice to upgrade. No one says you have to, and they don’t lock games behind needing insert current gen CPU or gpu

Just go PC and don’t worry about corporate lifecycles anymore

I can vouch for airvpn if any of you poor saps need to get one. I’ve been through several and settled on airvpn in the end.

General rule if you see YouTube sponsor ads for a VPN steer the other way. (IE Nord, Surfshark, etc.)

Casually Explained as relevant as ever

Pokemon blue on gameboy or Super Mario 64… both were around the same time I think.

Just got retroarch setup with all N64 games so the nostalgia train is about to start rollin’!

Man this seems like a great target for Anonymous to permanently cripple… 🙏🏼

Awesome thanks! This is going on my to-print list

How many HDD are you running? Set to spin down or no? Those spinning all the time add up quickly.

Sleep state and power States are different things… I’ve never heard of power profiles causing issues. I’d try keeping sleep disabled in BIOS and then look into what you need to change to allow the processor to idle/downclock. There’s no reason this shouldn’t work I’m aware of.

Could try undervolting as well.

“Fully anonymous”

“will track IP”

“Have my word I do no track or log IP address”

“I will track IP addresses”

Wow is this the first time a dev advertising anonymous software has admitted they plan to sell their userbase (once that userbase builds their content for them enough) right off the bat?

Its like a enshittification speedrun

Get a library card and go to town on some books. I’m using reading to replace my social media/Netflix/YouTube time. Aiming for one book every two weeks for 2024 since I’m a pretty slow reader.

Bonus: If your library has Libby you can rip the DRM using calibre and build out your collection on your ereader. My library offers free music streaming and 5 DRM-free mp3 downloads/day from “freegalmusic”. They also offer free streaming services for movies and TV but I haven’t used those since the point is to read more not watch more bullshit, but could aid as way of weaning yourself off after cancelling other subscriptions

NordVPN literally will not let me delete my account. My 3 years is over, there is no method to delete when signed in to their site. You have to fill out a form with your payment details and shit to “verify your identity” (who remembers that shit from 3 years ago).

Literally emailed from the email associated with the account, called, logged in, etc. they won’t delete it until I send my credit card info in the clear, over insecure email.

FUCK NORDVPN

Edit: whoops, just realized you said freezing not crashing, and probably have a separate issue. I’ll leave this here in case it helps anyone that finds this thread with crashes a couple minutes into videos.

Had this issue ages ago, then my dad did too a year later on a different client version. Manually changing the “preferred media player” option fixed it on my firestick 4k, 4k Max, and my dads standard firestick.

Jellyfin app>settings menu>Playback>Video section>preferred media player>libVLC (in my case, Exoplayer seemed to be causing the crashes approx 2 years ago but you can try both, I just tried exoplayer again and it doesn’t seem to be crashing either when set manually now so it may have been patched)

Damn FOSS Android Auto development is starting the new year off strong! First grapheneOS successfully implementing it on a non-stock OS and now this too. Too bad I got rid of my vehicles last year and no longer have a use for it on my ebike.

I wonder if thats because most of the traffic was just bots all along who obviously aren’t going to leave in protest

Clearly just upset you got conned into paying hundreds for an inferior product
