>Microsoft: Recent Windows updates break VPN access for WSL users>https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-recent-windows-updates-cause-wsl-networking-issues/Is any of this really a surprise anymore?I seem to recall something about them supposedly (re)committing themselves to focusing on stability and performance once again; or so they claim anyway. I really want to know what the heck they even do anymore because it's certainly not programming that's for damn sure.the older versions of windows would bsod way more don't get me wrong but it feels like we've traded stability for a different type of instability.
>>107561582Explains why I had to reboot my work machine even though I use the mirrored networking stack for WSL2.
>>107561582So affects only VPN-using WSL users?So in other words - nobody.
>>107565840actually, using VPN in WSL is useful for split tunneling, therefore it might be an issue for many users.>j-just run troonix on bare metalI am not a tranny
I just don't understand why anyone would willingly use Windows 11.When it launched, it was an unfinished piece of shit, worse than 8 & 10 at RTM. People meme on Vista but it was nowhere near this bad.There's whole components of the registry and group policy that are broken, still in windows server.Add in the broken updates, the hassle of enabling, disabling it and it's too much for too little.You're trading a whole bunch of good, or stability for russian roulette enshitting updates via AI or jeet. Gaming isn't an excuse anymore, stick with W10 if you need to, spoof, it doesn't matter. If any game or software requires you to use W11: it's not worth it.Why on earth would you go through the humiliation ritual of having that bloatware on your system? If you want to use WSL too, just use linux, you don't need windows there. I know people who bought nvidia got scammed but come on, wake up and walk away. The updates aren't going to get better.

Is the reply window for the tomorrow theme messed up for anyone else? The entire captcha section is white instead of black like it normally is. It still works normally and all the other themes seem to be normal.
>use Tomorrow style>gookmoot/rapeape updates the inline extension or whatever (1179 -> 1180) a couple of hours ago>messes with inline css (powered by Copilot?)>anti-AI captcha becomes brighter than the sunFIX THIS, AHH MY EYES!!!

Why are they taking away our optical drives?
>>107563812they don't want you watching those dodgy asian svcds
>>107563960You could use it for cold storage as another anon mentioned--family photos, password manager database, 4chan maymays, Japanese animes, etc--as well as using an image on the disc as a keyfile. However, the only usecase I actually find myself using is just to burn mixes onto them. I like burning them to give to friends. I prefer to have a disc drive (for the aforementioned use case) and (micro)SD card slot since the latter is sometime required in the process of jailbreaking handheld consoles.

Do you use light or a dark theme in your software, /g/?I've been trying to get used to light themes because I lowkey think they look nicer but damn do they rape my eyes.
>>107564648I've been using it for 20 years. It all started with a theme I created myself for jEdit. Actually it started before that with taking notes on yellow legal pads.
>>107561975Light, for most part.Only use dark themes when I really need dark themes: basically at night on my car navigation.Save for that, everything else is light/white mode. Even my terminal windows.Not entire sure about dark themes being "worse for the eyes", and while I never really like how they looked anyway, more importantly Light simply doesn't fit my use case as I'm usually in a well lit room and usually dealing with not just code and terminals, but also documents supposed to be printed on white paper or media with bright colors. I know I can "force" darkmode on almost everything digital, like word documents and websites, they tend to look like shit.If all I did was coding on a terminal on a dark basement, then dark mode would be fine.
>>107561975> light themes == looking into a light bulbThe terms “dark themes” and “light themes” shouldn’t even exist.
>>107561975high contrast light theme
>>107561975For phones, I always use dark mode.For desktops/laptops, mostly light mode, but the browser home page and gimp use dark mode. Apps like discord also dark mode. Dark mode for classic GTK apps looks terrible imo.
Even HDDs are not safe even though everyone tells me they don't want to buy them and call it "spinning rust"
>>107562429Prices are still decreasing in my region
Death to AI, death to Altman.
so what are the alternatives for storages nowadays? i dont use cloud, sd cards don't last, CDs are too slow
>>107567080Tape
What's a good going price per TB for HDD?

>>107562943>Still being an AI apologistNo they won't you retard.We're gonna get more DLSS shit.
>>107551007Hilariously, that kills Windows, most of mainstream Linux distros, 75% of current-day gaming and any intense editing work.We are kind of going back to ye olde times when computing was fragmented. This time tho instead of different systems and architectures, the breaking point is price and what hardware person can put into their machines.
>>107551589No they don't. I work for a hybrid wft company that issues project managers, laptops and everyone else a desktop tower setup. Oath only top out at like 8 gigs of RAM. All of our work is done on accompanying websites through a in-house VPN, so unless your job involves 3D modeling software or you do a lot of content creation, no corporate it team what even consider upgrading the ram of any of those computers. How what they justify that when Windows technically runs fine on 8 GB? You're probably thinking of those " Day in the life of xzy" TikTokers that are issued hardware that is way more powerful than they need or deserve like a high-end MacBook or something like pic rel
I hope it takes us back.
To avoid rehashing the same bullshit arguments, I'm going to answer some of them in advance.> Developers have a know-it-all shitty attitude.Okay, and? Who gives a shit and how does that affect the software itself?>Feature X is missing.Most of the things which people claim are missing in GNOME, is actually possible via extensions. Extensions are written in JavaScript, so it's easy to implement whatever custom behavior you want.>You can no longer customize themes.gtk3, gtk4, and libadwaita are fairly small libraries and the _colors.scss file can be patched with your custom style and recompiled. It is trivial to pull the latest changes and rebase.How often does one need to change their theme anyway?Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>107566936All the things you mentioned, and how, just as you describe, big of a pain in the ass it is to fix them. I'm not interested in working around every aspect of a de, when I can just install one with menus or easily located and edited config files to make simple fixes and modifications.
>>107566936At least gnome looks good

Which one?

Can you recommend a graphical display manager for Xfce or MATE that isn't GDM (pulls a lot of Gnome dependencies), SDDM (even more KDE/Qt ones) or LightDM (just never had a good personal experience with it)?

explain to me like im retarded (i am) why AI isnt trained on a more rudimentary level, like on logic, symbolism, pattern recognition etc instead of just being a chat bot that prints out words that dont make sense and arent true a large fraction of the time
>>107564044>I'm dumb, explain...that's a lot of dumb. if dumb, can't explain. but, dumb, so can't explain that if dumb can't explain.
>>107564044Despite what the output may suggest, LLMs aren't all that complex architecturally, compared to biological brains.LLMs really only take a sequence of tokens and predict the most likely next token. During training they create a high dimensional latent space mapping tokens (syntax) to abstract concepts (semantics), so if you get a token (word) you can "lookup" semantically similar concepts and navigate this latent space to related concepts, and then map back tokens for output. Under the hood it's all just matrix multiplications in a finite domain to compute the outputs of an extremely simplified crude approximation of a neuron (all it does is fit the function f(x) = ax + b, while biological neurons have vastly more complex and nuanced behaviour).All that is to say, they're not intelligent and lack fundamental understanding, so they can't do much more than superficially parrot with an extremely large vocabulary. Training on logic won't make it actually understand logic and apply it correctly. It'll just spit out some stuff that looks like logic (which will fool some people).
>>107564611>>107566402No, for the billionth time, LLMs are NOT a Markov's chain. They take into account the whole conversation, that makes a huge difference.
>>107564085Putting the entire internet into hypercompressing automatic pattern recognition machine works better then literally any other method. Half a century of trying to figure out smart stuff and getting absolutely nowhere vs like 7 years of training GPTs and denoisers on the internet and us getting chatbot smart enough to convince anyone from 2015 that it’s an AGI.>But it’s not truly intelligent, it just repeats training dataOk, but can it do your job? Can it automate away all entry level computer jobs? That’s what I thought.
>>107564376>so then why does every single LLM AI act like a retarded infant that talks in circles? Start using uncensored models, it makes a huge difference. Guardrails and RLHF are completely neutering most LLMs.
I need to buy my adult brother a laptop, his old one broke and now he's very upset...He has special needs. Just something really basic, all he does is look online at pictures of dinosaurs, animals, and pokemon. What's the cheapest and most basic thing I should go with?
Get that paid camwhore put of my sight
>>107564485>Dump his ass in a home somewhere. His laptop breaking isn't your problem.>ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME MEPeople like you are why this country has gone down the shitter

>>107565293Thanks, if someone told him this in real life it would make his day.
>>107562240Yeah the little touchscreen ones are cool as shit, I got my tech illiterate father one and he's glued to the fucking thing now.

Money is worthless since the 70s. It's just 0s on a computer and doesn't represent any meaningful concept in the real world. That's where the real scam has been all along. They're buying real estate in the real world with monopoly money
The second the context limitations (1 mil or thereabouts) are solved for local models the bubble will pop and stay popped.That's literally the only thing i've seen the big models do that the shit you can run on a shitbox can't. (even then only like 2-3 of the big ones)
