Last week, I asked Gemini to give me episode names and air dates for a tv show, and it proceeded to fabricate two seasons worth of titles, not a single name or air date was correct. The episode names was even listed on (swedish) wikipedia, so it should been in their training data.
Please don't imagine that I don't fully understand this.
Nevertheless, X11 "server" and "client" have confused very smart and highly technical people. I have had the entertainment of explaining it dozens of times, though rarely recently.
And honestly, still, a server is usually a remote machine in all common usage. When "the server's down", it is usually not a problem on your local machine.
It’s History Channel doing anything but teaching History. Sad. Only misinformation and conspiracy documentaries are all people want to make but when a real documentary comes along, it blows them all away (shoutout to Ken Burns).
I just read that, too. Its interesting and somewhat depressing that the best option for the last 10+ years according to ars and this linked reddit thead, and comments in this thread all suggesting Apple TV. I hope to see a viable foss option soon.
There are options like LibreELEC (Jeff Geerling did a video on setup a year ago[0]). However, these options are rarely plug and play. It also doesn’t let people simply download and use apps from the popular streaming services. They tend to rely on pirated content or someone who is willing to rip all their own physical media for more convenient access. FOSS has always had an issue with that last 10% of the user experience, and the services to make things pleasant to use, which I think really hurts mainstream adoption.
