i was just dicking around with ollama+webui and i kept trying to gas light llama2 to think the world spun cause of hamsters. and it have off this subtle but terminator esq response.

what you guys think about world spinny cause hammster theory :D and the term-inator (im joking about the hamster thing... maybe)

I have been messing with my raspberry pi 400 and stumbled across box86. This program converts x86 calls to arm. And it works pretty well, i got the orginal pvz (disk verison) running through wine and box 86! The game is slow on cutscenes but gameplay is suprisingly playable and was more playable then my first pc lmao!

Its crazy that a fanless 15watt arm chip can run old games this well! Compared to a pentium 4 thats is taking off.

Today i was doing the daily ritual of looking at distrowatch. Todays reveiw section was about a termal called warp, it has built in AI for recomendations and correction for commands (like zhs and nushell). You can also as a chatbot for help. I think its a neat conscept however the security is what makes me a bit skittish. They say the dont collect data and you can check it aswell as opt out. But the idea of a terminal being read by an Ai makes me hesitant aswell as a account needed to use warp. What do you guys think?

NEW FROM MICROSOFT -WINDOWS 11

To Microsoft

I love how windows has automatic driver support

I have used windows XP since I was 6

Every program that ends with .exe runs great

But you got some problems to fix

it started with automatic random windows updates

BUT FOR FUCKS SAKE

LET ME UNINSTALL MICROSOFT EDGE

ITS NOT GOOD

ITS DOG SHIT YOUR SO DESPRATE

YOU MAKE IT RUN ON X86

IT EATS ALL MY RAM LIKE AN OBEESE MAN AT MCDONALDS

IT SLOWS MY COMPUTER DOWN

AND ITS GIVIN ME BLUE SCREENS WITH THAT STUPID ASS FROWN

HERES AN ERROR CODE Screw you

GOOD LUCK FINDING IT ON GOOGLE IT DOESN’T EXIST

YOUR RANDOMLY UNINSTALL IMPORTANT THINGS

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FIX MY PC WHEN IT UNINSTALLS THE DRIVER FOR MY DISPLAY

I WOULD RATHER USE MacOs Monterey

SCREW YOU, YOU UNIX WANNABE

YOUR WINDOWS 11 IS A STD.

YOU LEAVE A STUPID NOTEPAD OPEN WITH ONE COMMA

WHEN I CLICK SHUTDOWN YOU WONT CLOSE!

YOU ACT LIKE I INSTALLED WINDOWS

IT COMES PREINSTALLED, PRE DESTROYED, PRE BROKEN

AND YET YOU SAY YOUR OPIRATING SYSTEM IS THE BEST

75% OF GLOBAL MARKET SHARE IS A TRUE SHAME

YOUR OS IS REALLY LAME

YOU DON’T OWN YOUR COMPUTER

YOUR COMPUTER OWNS YOU

WINDOWS 3.1 1992

Your Os is as fun as a lobotomy

And is designed as well as a ford pinto

IT LOOKS LIKE A LOW BUDGE KDE DESKTOP

LINUX COULD MOP THE FLOOR WITH YOU

THE RISE OF LINUX DESKTOP 2022!

I LEAVE YOU IN YOUR SHAME

LYLING IN YOUR COFFIN BILL GATES TO BLAME

Linus Torvald was right

A computer is like air-conditioning

It becomes useless when you open windows

That is all

I leave you to dwell in your non open source

Propriety Hell

so ive been looking into a Yubikey because i want 2FA on all of my accounts. however on yubicos website it says it supports linux. but the documentation is confusing and i want the Authentication app to setup my Yubikey on my main OS (NixOS) it seems that yubico only supports ubuntu, which i tried using in distrobox but with no success. so i looked on flathub and found this app however it gets me kinda spooked that the app is made by the community. is it safe to use my yubi key with? and if not does anyone have any idea how to compile from source, which btw im kinda a noob at compiling from source which i know is ironic because i run nix.
