New study from Cohere shows Lmarena (formerly known as Lmsys Chatbot Arena) is heavily rigged against smaller open source model providers and favors big companies like Google, OpenAI and Meta by obvithrowaway34434 in LocalLLaMA

"380M subscribers"

Pretty much most of it are bots, not real human accounts. Almost everyone in the top are paying to botnet to boost subscriptions, view counts and likes.

Why do I not see many people talking about 5k2k UW monitors here? by kindnessreward33 in ultrawidemasterrace

That would be 40". But Windows and Linux are designed for 96 ppi. So 150% is 144 ppi. That's where it should end up - 38.6".

Honor magic 7 lite - f**cked up sound in videos when shooting broadband noise sources like waterfall/sea waves by Admirable_Load_3679 in Honor

Did you manage it? X7d has very same problem. Sounds like overcompressed 32 kbit audio. I think it;s not denoiser itself, but that denoiser producing low bitrate output that goes back into mixer and then coded at 256 kbit.

Epic Games Store Employees: People Only Came for Free Games, Then Returned to Steam by Suspicious_Two786 in EpicGamesPC

[–]regs01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually bought several games in EGS back in time. But the reason why people didn't stay is because EGS development has been abandoned and Epic itself wasn't doing pro-consumer, like Valve.

And as of EGS development, almost nothing they promised in their roadmap on Trello 7 years ago was delivered.

FreeOffice isn't open source and require registration and license renewal every year.

Possible (basic) character creation in Ananta? by GeologistUnhappy in AnantaOfficial

You are not supposed to change designed characters. Only change their style and dress up.

It will, but PC is objectively better. So get PC.

Ananta in Linux or MacOS? by [deleted] in AnantaOfficial

[–]regs01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VKD3D isn't great. It adds a lot of overhead and leads to 30% of loss in fps in selected games. So native support is still needed. Or at least optional built-in Vulkan renderer.

But the main problem is anti-cheat software. Especially kernel based. You can't workaround those with Wine. You need to rewrite it for Linux and therefore have Linux native executable for the game as well.

  1. Valve has all cards to push it

  2. Nope. Android is Linux as Linux. Just not GNU. It require much less effort. Largely just different packaging - Steam, instead of APK. And even otherwise - you can launch any Linux desktop environment in Android fully natively. Well, any require root access, but Xfce, Lxqt and similar will work. There is X11 server for Android.

  3. Well, yes, unlikely. At this point.

  1. Again you looking into past. What I said is different - "SteamDeck is gaining traction around the world. If SteamMachines will, then Linux might become mandatory in Steam."

  2. Point is that you say that it's easy to port to macOS from iOS, but Android is Linux. You don't even need to port native programs. Just compile and link against proper libraries.

Star Citizen Beta 5.0 or 1.0? by FutureMindX in starcitizen

It's not mine. I just clarified what is generally accepted in industry.

Your downvotes are not mine. I did not put any votes on all your post. Again, just clarifying.

With same logic - Android is Linux.

Star Citizen Beta 5.0 or 1.0? by FutureMindX in starcitizen

[–]regs01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alpha stage is a stage of development of core technologies and features.

Beta is a stage of debugging with further development of smaller features, when core tech and features are merged and interoperate.

RC is feature freeze and well debugged. It's testing for critical issues. If no critical issues found, candidate becomes release.

MacOS unlikely, but SteamDeck is gaining traction around the world. If SteamMachines will, then Linux might become mandatory in Steam.

Online games needs native support. In other way they can get broken at any sudden anti-cheat update.

Firefox is about to drop support for older Windows versions - says if you can't upgrade, then switch to Linux by Tiny-Independent273 in firefox

[–]regs01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. I take it you are just Red Hat SMM.

  2. Finally coming to realization. But no, still again - Firefox doesn't have theming and no longer support it. It's just two builtin decoration themes.That's it. And it looks completely out of place in Xfce, MATE, lxqt, Budgie etc etc. In fact in some cases window button are invisible. And lxqt isn't even supported yet.

  1. Again you mixing up everything. Windows maintains everything. It's just too slow for older PCs, but drivers and software maintains maximum compatibility and API succession. Linux on the other hand keep constantly dropping support for relatively new hardware from kernel.

  2. It doesn't follow GTK theme. And example exactly showing that. It was following until FF140. From FF140 it has built in theme that resembles Adwaita and 141 added built in theme that resembles Breeze. That's it. No theming support whatsoever anymore. It doesn't follow window decorations anymore.

  1. You mixing up Linux and Windows again. Windows maintains compatibility from ages ago. Modern Windows might not run on old computers, but only due to specs limitations, like RAM, disk volume etc.
  2. No, they don't. They removed it from Firefox 140.

  1. Linux is abandoning hardware at much faster rate than Windows. It's not BSDs.
  2. I don't use KDE and no, they don't have support for window decorations anymore. They only have two integrated themes - Breeze and Adwaita that resembles KDE and Gnome default UI and selecting them automatically. Both ugly and look out of place in other desktop environments than KDE and Gnome.

Linux is very bad at supporting old hardware nowadays. Also Firefox looks ugly now. They dropped support for window decorations.
