They need it hoard datasets.

I also use ArchWiki as my personal software configuration journal. I know I'll be back to it when I'm going to have to re-install or re-configure something, so I make sure to record any new info I discover, worked out super well for me so far.

For mobile, you can use FluffyChat, it's another Matrix app

There's Element for mobile too. More complete list of clients here

I haven't touched XMPP for over 10 years, how's screen sharing and file sharing over XMPP doing?

Almost all clients support file sharing. The Movim client <https://mov.im/> supports screen sharing. It should be noted that both Jitsi & Zoom use XMPP for the roster/chat/handshaking as well; so if you set up a Jitsi server for calls & such, you would already have a working XMPP server on your server that could be co-opted.

I never managed to get file sharing working on my self hosted discord instance. Needing to setup DNS entries and subdomains for every little feature got tiresome and I gave up.

Also the default of "save all shared files on the server" didn't sit well with me.

But xmpp is so damn complicated I am 100% sure I am misunderstanding everything and doing something wrong.


Please just make SmartTVs unattractive and force companies to make dumb TVs again Please just make SmartTVs unattractive and force companies to make dumb TVs again Please just make SmartTVs unattractive and force companies to make dumb TVs again


Just buy "digital signage"


Which works, but is priced very high - and not just for the fact that the seller can't monetize ads. Digital signage displays are designed for much higher duty cycles than a home TV, for display in areas where ambient brightness is much higher on average. You're paying for the tech that you want, but you're also paying for a lot of tech that you don't want or need.


Right, but what everyone is whingeing about is for it to be available even at a higher price point.

Digital signage shows the market is already solving this problem so if all this complaining is to mean anything people are talking about yet another new market that fits in between the smart TV price and the digital signage price


Steam takes 30%, other stores take 10-20%


I mean... isn't that just X11 light compositor (like IceWM) with binfmt enabled?


After living in Italy for a few years - if you're doing worse than Italy with your train schedule it's time to reflect hard.


Germany and Italy should gang up together to make the trains run on time and... wait a minute.


Hey Japan wants to join. I know we are a bit far away but we can form some sort of a tri-something axis.


I think, the joke about Germany and Italy should team up is a reference to the new CEO of Deutsche Bahn, Evelyn Palla, who is from Italy. The "to make the trains run on time" gives a hint here, because this is her declared task.

Not about Germany, Italy, and Japan, forming some sort of axis, I guess.


Japan wants the trains to run on time too!

The tri partners have a mutual goal.


I heard that Japan's trains cannot compete with the Germany's trains. /s


Ok, let's see - yuan isn't a freely traded currency, it's heavily regulated by China. From that alone it can not be used a reserve currency by anyone - unless they want to hand over all control over their assets to CCP.

The rupee is better, but there's not a lot of trust in Indian institutions globally, so black swan events are more likely. I can see it becoming a better proposition as India further matures and taps into its population more.

No, euro - that's a solid contender. Not only it's already used in a lot of countries, and therefore backed by more than one economy, the EU institutions are legit to a fault - they continuously refuse to seize Russian assets, because there's no solid legal grounds for it, despite all political will towards doing so.

That alone makes it far removed from being politically suspect in my book, unless there's some blatant case against the euro that I'm missing.


The main issue with the euro has been the stinginess of the ECB. The Fed always makes plenty of dollars available but during the Great Recession this was not the case in Europe. This is a problem for euro-denominated debt. (It is also a problem for the yuan.) The unusual political structure of the EU — not a single country — is also potentially concerning, as is its apparent dependence on the United States for defense.


> That alone makes it far removed from being politically suspect in my book, unless there's some blatant case against the euro that I'm missing.

Lack of integration/solidarity. A common currency is a pretty bad idea if economies are allowed to diverge (see previous sovereign debt crisis, there's no reason why eg France can't be the next trigger).

You need a common tax base, and solidarity across member (much more than the current state) to have an effective monetary policy.

The in-between status quo for EU really isn't great (either you need to keep building EU institutions/start having proper eu taxes and budget -- something that is not really popular at the moment--, or euro should be reconsidered). (From what I understand it's not really a controversial opinion in economic circles).


Probably not, that would significantly lower the training data quality for any future models


It's ok actually. I have read some Windows code. Certainly better commented than Linux and certainly much more readable than glibc.


Wasn't a whole bunch of the NT source leaked ages ago?


You just need to look in the DDK (driver development kit) to see what it's like. Hungarian notation everywhere.
