Gaming@beehaw.org•Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of July 20thEnglish
2·1 year agoSounds help a lot. For most enemies it’s either sound or literal visible movement. The rest is just learning after getting hit i guess. But just these two things will take you far.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Which AI model to run locally on androidEnglish
38·1 year agoYou want to run it on the phone itself? I don’t think any phone would be good enough for that. The issue with AI assistants is not just privacy. It’s also the resource consumption (and of course stolen content). It’s so high and only these big companies with huge server farms can do it.
If you just want a voice assistant for simple commands, I’ve heard of an open source local assistant called Dicio. But I don’t think you can talk to it like ChatGPT or something.

1·1 year agoI remember trying all this on GNOME before finding the extension. But I’ll check again, thank you

1·1 year agoBut Solus is rolling release.
Similar thoughts and after hopping a bit I’m liking Solus really well. It’s rolling release but what they call “curated” rolling release. They take a little bit of time to iron stuff out. There’s a weekly update cycle.
The installation is through live ISO and was pretty easy, took only a few minutes. They have a Plasma ISO too, since you mentioned wanting KDE.
As a plus, I’ve not once used the command prompt in the past couple of months since I installed (GNOME first and then since the last week, KDE). I’m not averse to commands but I do want something that I can recommend to my less techy anti-capitalist friends. My games have all been working fine too.
Edit to add: I think they’ve also mentioned that their aim is for a personal desktop.

Debian operating system@lemmy.ml•I want to make Debian work, please helpEnglish
1·2 years agoSome stuff that works great with Lutris or Heroic on Fedora, just wouldn’t even start up on Debian. I tried a couple of things but nothing worked. I thought it might be a new parts issue stable is 2 years old at this point.
I’m going to see if I can first try kernel+mesa backports (after trying the games again just on stable). If that doesn’t work I might give testing a go.

Debian operating system@lemmy.ml•I want to make Debian work, please helpEnglish
11·2 years agoI want to know what kind of setup would avoid issues with games. I know I can run Debian with KDE from the installer. I had issues with games on plain stable so I wanted to know what can be done

1·2 years agoI will try that, thank you. Are those just two packages I need to get from backports or are there dependencies and stuff that will come up?

1·2 years agoThank you so much for the detailed response! I might be able to stretch out to 4GB RAM on the Pi
I’ve been finding it a bit difficult to understand the hardware part of things. For example, the hubzilla FAQ you shared says 512M and not MB. Does that not refer to RAM?
And I’ve also not been able to find any guides about the “levels” in hardware. If not the Pi, then what? How do I decide? How do I explore?

0·2 years agoIs there something you would recommend? I’m definitely not going back to WhatsApp. Signal works. But the centralization makes me feel iffy

Did you try adding the web app as an instant app on your home screen? Just a workaround if you can’t find it at all.
