So I just need to do basic tasks like listen to music, stream video, and browse basic websites. Is installing windows 2000 a bad idea? How fucked will I be for drivers?The reason I want to do this for one, it's botnet free, and two it was the most streamlined of classic operating systems. I really have a boner for Windows 2000 and I just want to know if it's even moderately viable to use in this day and age.
>>107706209Then at least go full meme and use Haiku or something. Using an outdated version of Windows because you hate change is more autistic than any freetard OS.

>>107706135I upgraded directly from 2000 to XP and XP was noticeably slower even with themes disabled.
>>107705709>browseforget about it. you will get captchas because half of the web is behind cloudflare and no modern browser runs on win2k.I love old Windows but I get my nostalgia fix in a VM.if you are a writer and want an *offline* computer with Office 2000 for working in solitude - sure, go for it.
I want to start making apps for linux.What resources does /g/ recommend?
make a GEGL plugin for GIMP. Technically each GEGL plugin for GIMP is an app of its own that runs in GIMP's gui.

nta but I'm That Guy who still has every single image/song/video he's ever saved since 1994.1. make offsite backups often. spend time getting a good process going so you don't have to think about it2. raid is for suckers. hardware level solutions will never save you3. never touch source files until the backup is off the original machine and integrity CONFIRMED. never ever delete originals while the backup is on a device connected to the same machine.
The steam frame is gonna cost like 700 dollars maybe more with the RAM issues going isn't it? The Quest 3 was being sold for 407+100 dollar in Amazon credit a week ago.
>>107693887Sounds like an excellent price, here’s hoping.
>>107693887>$700>steam index was $999um yeah I think its safe to assume the more advanced VR headset that runs your games locally is gonna cost atleast AS MUCH as version 1
>>107707411The index had lots of custom hardware like the base stations and had good build qualityThe Frame is much more cost optimized, the displays and lenses cost less to make then back then, the controllers are simpler. The additional cost comes from the CPU, RAM and UFS chip which wouldn't cost a lot if there was no bullshit market manipulation by openai
>>107707669you would be right, if there was a competitor example that costs $700-800 (other than the quest pro for $1000).But ignoring the quest, the pimax crystal light is wired, has no battery, no OS, no passthrough, or eye tracking, similar resolution and display (but with aspheric lenses, no pancake), and it costs $860 with controllers (but the controllers are known to be worse than steam VR's tracking, and you could buy just the headset for $600 and spend a fortune on a SteamVR adapter + controllers + base stations).I think you are underestimating how much money meta makes from kids who trick their parents to buy a $300 VR headset, for the headset to have a $10 monthly subscription so after 1 year it becomes a $440 headset.
>>107705073Does Zuckerberg show clips like this during his board meetings? Billions of dollars for this? The guy is a retard. Two decent nerds and 10k could make something better.
New version is out. Also, why was my previous thread deleted? This is a software-based application explicitly engineered for operation within the computational and telecommunications framework of a handheld mobile device, ok? It is therefore unambiguously situated within the broader domain of contemporary technological systems, infrastructures, and applied digital sciences, and as such relevant to /g/.

If you use the GNU Image Manipulation Program, there is something wrong with you mentally.It is the only thing preventing me from using a Linux-based OS on a permanent basis. I need Photoshop to work and WINE is buggy as shit. The GIMP is a shit alternative.Prove me wrong. Why would anyone deliberately use this garbage?
>>107705730I tried them all recently and my conclusion was they suck ass. I actually started using paint through wine. But you know when I was a young tard we had an Amiga and the paint programs were incredible, vastly superior to paint. idk what happened.
I do my cleaning, redrawing and typesetting in gimp (though TL comes from anons or someone else). It's fine desu, I'll admit that creating a double outlined text with custom halftoned linear gradient is a few more steps and layers than Photoshop but not enough of a deal breaker for me to fuck with wine. While I don't know exact shortcuts, it's kinda muscle memory for me. Like if I want to reset fg and bg color my hand just goes and does it without an explicit thought, though I think it was either X or D?
>>107708012because those are the only two options, and we shouldn't consider the obvious best solution, the portable Photoshop cs6 thumbdrive install from when it was still a good program with zero AI

Is C still wortlh learning nowadays?I'm studying CS but my uni's program only teaches you Python, Java and C++ so i figured I'd try to start learning C on my own over the winter break.I already have a decent grasp on Python and Java and have always heard all the real enlightened big brain neProidians learn C to understand how a computer works beter since it's "close to the metal" unlike Python and Java but even starting out with Learn C the Hard Way, Zed Shaw says that C is a fundamentally flawed language and has many errors that later languages fixed into non-issues.Should I keep going
>>107707988You're wasting your time. Rustrannies believe if you write C, for any reason, you are stupid and evil.
>>107702118Yes, you should learn C, despite its flaws, because it's the lingua franca of programming.
>>107707914So, ditch all the O'Reilly books and learn the Nand2Tetris way?
>>107702118in my uni they make you study assembly and CI think studying low-level programming is the play in this day and age, you will likely be harder to replace by jeets/AI
If you don't want to write anything useful, learn and use C. If you want to make a real program that does something, learn Rust or C++ instead. Here's how learning C will go:You'll convince yourself that you're some badass programmer because you defined your own container types.You'll write useless preprocessor abuse and stupid shit like safe_free(void*) or whatever. Then eventually you'll realize you wish you had a real fucking programming language with generics, destructors, basic ergonomic data structures and a type system that doesn't completely suck and a standard library that can use real strings instead of your faggy struct pascal_string {...} that every C homo has written.

>>107707418Kanidm is likely a better fit if you want to delegate authentication to another service (with single sign-on as an added bonus). Piss easy to set up; single binary with no external service dependencies, can be deployed in a container also. Easiest solution of all is still just tailscale with headscale though, but if you really wanna avoid VPNs, OpenID Connect with kanidm is probably the simplest you'll get. Really recommend reading their documentation about what they do and can do for you.
>>107706943How many machines before I should look into using something like ansible? I've got 5 vm's plus a backup server.
>>107708562I've only got 2 VMs, but I use ansible for my server and also both my desktops because I just like automating stuff. I think it's a good skill to have, and it's just fun. I recommend giving it a go, see if you like it

>>107708454Patch your browser. It is open source.
>>107708454reduce your screen brightness
>>107708589Might actually consider this, kind of dreading how many SDKs and build tools I'm going to need for it, I can't imagine the chain for any of these major browsers is anything short of ridiculous

Do any of you guys have a chatbot that uses generative voice in the background while you play video games?Like, a personal V-tuber? I've heard about that shit but I've never seen how it works. Do any of you use that?
>>107708608i'm glad the OOC comment worked, i use those too sometimes when the ai gets too heavyhanded, i feel the edits accomplish the same thing, a sort of "negative example" to let the llm know "this shouldn't happen often/at all anymore", and also i don't know if it's placebo but i think it's nice that it's "stated" by them with the edit, glm in particular seems to really pick up on what "worked" and "didn't" with their messages when thinking for their next response
