    The biggest issue I ran into when migrating was because I created an NTFS partition that I intended to share with my dual boot. So many programs had issues setting correct privileges on the folders or the privileges would reset after a reboot. Trying to find help was very difficult because I was doing something stupid to begin with. When I changed the partition to exFat or something else all my problems were solved. A couple of years later I maybe have booted into Windows 2 times total, I just use my work laptop when I need to run something that has issues with wine like the tax software

    20 years ago it was way easier to install Linux from a boot disk (like ubuntu or suse) than windows from scratch. Sometimes XP didn’t have the necessary drives and you’d need to find bootable drivers and load them from a floppy disk

    It was even easier to install OSx86 on my laptop than windows vista from scratch in 2007

    Maybe this is one of those thinking that 20 years ago was the 90s



  • Many years ago I made a library for Arduino to control an 8x8 LED matrix to display running text. It was not very clean but I like it enough to upload it to the forums (I couldn’t find anything similar). One week later it was complely different to what I uploaded and it was super efficient and a bunch of people added new functions and availability but my name still appeared as a main contributor. Of course I put it on my CV and showed it to my professors!






  • Meta makes (a little) more sense

    In the context of artificial intelligence, LLM typically stands for “Large Language Model.” The “I” in LLM specifically refers to “Intelligence,” but it’s often implied or omitted, and the term is commonly abbreviated as LLM.

    However, if you’re referring to a different context or field, please provide more information or clarify what LLM stands for in that specific case, and I’ll do my best to help!

    Seems like meta refers to LLaMA when responding the question




  • Installed Mint last week after a ~10 year hiatus from using Linux (other than Debian on RPi)

    I was surprised at how everything just works, even my network HP all-in-one worked after a simple “search for printer” and it also added it as a scanner without any input from me. In windows I had to install HPsmart software, login every few days for some reason and then some days it just refuses to work altogether

    I also connected it to my home theater and I was able to set up 5.1 sound without any additional installations. In windows it took me several hours to fix this and sometimes the link between the laptop and the HT would be cut for some reason in the middle of a movie and I had to restart everything
