Came here to post because I’ve also seen The Symphony of the Goddess live. The poster for it is behind me at the moment. Great experience.

I’ve only felt the need to change distros once, from Linux Mint to EndeavourOS, because I wanted Wayland support. I realize there were ways to get Wayland working on Mint in the past, but I’ve already made the switch and have already gotten used to my current setup. I personally don’t feel like I’m missing out by sticking to one distro, tbh. If you’re enjoying Mint, I’d suggest to stick with it, unless another distro fulfills a specific need you can’t get on Mint.

Came here with this show in mind. Would recommend.

Perhaps you should heed your own advice

What you’re referring to is a backronym

I haven’t, but I’ll keep this in mind for the future – thanks.

I believe I was when I tried it before, but it’s possible I may have misconfigured things

I’ll give it a shot later today, thanks

edit: Tried out mistral-7b-instruct-v0.1.Q4_K_M.ggufvia the LM Studio app. it runs smoother than I expected – I get about 7-8 tokens/sec. I’ll definitely be playing around with this some more later.

That’s good to know. I do have 8GB VRAM, so maybe I’ll look into it eventually.

I’m looking forward to the day where these tools will be more accessible, too. I’ve tried playing with some of these models in the past, but my setup can’t handle them yet.

Yeah I wanted to use it for work until I read that. Instead I’m just using Vimwiki since I really only need markdown and linking.

Good question. In the past, there have been some federation issues. However, things have seemed fine for awhile now. I will admit that it’s entirely possible that there are issues that I may not be aware of. I don’t do any extensive testing as I’m just a regular user, and /kbin is a younger platform which tries to do something different from lemmy and mastodon. If the Collections feature interests you, I might suggest just making a kbin account to give it a test run. You can essentially have the same feed you do now thanks to federation, but with the added benefit of feeds more suited to your interests. Public Collections are also very useful for discovering similar communities across the fediverse.

I’d imagine this will also be very problematic for non-celebrities from all sorts of backgrounds as well. The harassment potential is very concerning.

kbin and mastodon

kbin has this – the feature is called collections. https://kbin.social/magazines/collections

you can make public ones that others can follow, or private ones to make curated feeds for yourself.

Pandora’s Box is already opened, unfortunately. The Streisand Effect is only going to make this worse.

What scares me more than the fact that this guy exists are how many people chose to and continue to support him

Hehe yeah, I’d have to agree. Studio Ghibli films are really nice. I should probably give it a rewatch some time soon.
