No way lol, dark souls 1 is likely the most difficult in the series because it doesn't hold your hand at all, and it's very easy to get lost. There's a reason it people kept comparing any super hard game to dark souls despite the fact that DS2 and DS3 were fairly accessible.

Yes, Linux actually does already run on ARM chips, and Qualcomm themselves pledged support for Linux for the new chips within the next 6 months.

There is one big issue though: most applications won't be available since they have to work specifically for ARM. This is a big deal because I don't think Linux has a proper x86 --> ARM translation layer. That means most of your apps and games won't work.

I'd wait at least a couple of months to see how the ecosystem is before buying one. It's likely going to be a very bumpy ride for the next ~2 years until everything you'd need is supported.

Most applications are/can be compiled for arm. You just need the right repo or to compile from source.

Maybe the essentials like browsers and CMD tools are available for ARM, but I'm talking about applications in general. Almost all of Flatpak won't work, not everyone will bother compiling for ARM and those that do probably won't do so as soon as these laptops release. You'd have to be a real poweruser to compile stuff from source and not suffer. Not to mention proprietary stuff that are already reluctant to support Linux, imagine how long it'll take for things like Zoom and Discord to get official support. Before anyone hits me with the "those don't matter", it does to a lot of people.

You don’t need a translation layer unless the software is proprietary and the vendor isn’t willing to compile for arm.

Even then, there will be tons of legacy apps people will want to run.

Isn’t there things like qemu and box64…

Yeah, but they're experimental and probably very buggy. I've used box64 on my phone, it doesn't play well with everything.

Can it do LLM inference as fast as a M2/M3 Macbook?

It should be better at AI stuff than M series laptops, allegedly. Many manufacturers actually started listing their prices for the new laptops, the new Microsoft ones start at 16GB of RAM at $1000. I know the Lenovo one can reach 64GB of RAM but not sure about the pricing.

Step 1: Reformat your Android phone

Step 2: Turn on ultra power saving mode (this disables everything in the system except a few apps such as phone and messaging)

Step 3: Never connect to the internet

Et voila. You have a dumb phone.

That's an easy choice for me: Coraline.

It probably traumatized tens of thousands of kids. I saw a lot of angry posts from parents that left the cinema with their kids in the middle.

Inbetween all the garbage spam about AI I almost missed this was actually a post announcing laptops with the new Snapdragon chips. It'll be interesting to see performance on windows ARM when they release next month

Don't use moviesandtv@lemmy.film, the entire instance closed down and that community's been abandoned.

Hello GPT-4o ( openai.com )

GPT-4o (“o” for “omni”) is a step towards much more natural human-computer interaction—it accepts as input any combination of text, audio, and image and generates any combination of text, audio, and image outputs. It can respond to audio inputs in as little as 232 milliseconds, with an average of 320 milliseconds,...

I hate everything about the AI trying to be funny and faking laughter. Insanely creepy.

Other than that, seems like a good step forward from GPT-4. Cheaper API will make a lot of people happy.

Have they ever stopped? When teaser trailers are 2 minutes long you know the next ones will just spoil the entire plot.

I still use Eternity, but unfortunately it seems like development stopped. Still the best IMO.

We could raise the minimum wage if it weren't for republicans

Most brainwashed country, I swear to god.

No, I'm saying it's ridiculously dumb that people thing democrats are heroic saviors when they do the bare minimum and maintain the status quo. I'm making fun of the trend that "if it weren't for republicans the US would be a utopia". But thanks for the strawman I guess.

The integrated GPU for the new Intel core series are pretty good actually, roughly on par with AMD's offering if not slightly better.

I'm this close to blocking ani.social as well because it's mostly softcore porn. I like Anime, but not like this.

Insanely bizarre, Germany has historically been pro-open source and the EU was just saying that the Fediverse is here to stay.

Not a big issue IMO, admins can disable video uploads or have a small upload size limit (<1MB) and people will find a way.

Hot take: No.

Lemmy.world being the "main" instance is natural, and Lemmy makes it difficult to discover new communities so it's also natural that lots of discussion would be in lemmy.world, too.

There was also still an unresolved issue where some instances can disappear and take out all their communities. Remember lemmy.film? I believe the Lemmy devs once said they want to make a system to migrate communities in case something like this happens but nobody knows when it'll get added.

I think it's a platform problem, I understand that connecting to all sorts of instances is the point of the fediverse but until it becomes more intuitive and less dangerous, I'm going to just stick with the most popular communities. Attempting to move people out of lemmy.world and into other duplicate communities will only split people more.

You'd think this show would be a telltale reminder not to leave your kids unsupervised on the internet but I still remember watching this randomly as a kid and being horrified

Yeah the rates of new stickers should be a bit less but it's way better than what it used to be, at least you're not losing on ante 2 constantly due to bad rng
