#Ollama is the easiest way to run local #AI I've tried so far. In 5 minutes you can have a chatbot running on a local model. Dozens of models and UIs to choose from.
Just the speed is not great, but what can I expect on an Intel-only laptop.

«Many "features" of early C have been left behind, usually for good reasons, but there is still a lot of code in the wild that is still using those features. A concerted effort is being made in both the Fedora and GCC communities to fix that».

UNIX co-creator Ken Thompson is… a what user? • The Register https://www.theregister.com/2023/03/17/ken_thompson_is_a_maccie/

«I have for most of my life – because I was sort of born into it – run Apple. Now recently, meaning within the last five years, I've become more and more and more depressed [...] And I've come, within the last month or two, to say: even though I've invested a zillion years in Apple, I'm throwing it away, and I'm going to Linux. To Raspbian, in particular».

@grumpygamer Excuse me if it’s not a polite question to ask, but I was wondering how you personally experienced the publication of Doom as a mayor game developer. Did you like it or hate it at that time? As disrupting as it was, I guess one thing was to live that moment as a player and another as a professional.

« Rust is a lovely programming language but I’ve never quite come to terms with crates.io, or any other of these language-specific repositories where everyone uploads and downloads code willy-nilly. I have several objections: If crates.io goes down or access is otherwise disrupted then the Rust community will stop work».
