Meta’s llama models are generally open. In fact Meta is the main megacorp that’s driving open-source AI right now. Everyone else keeps their models proprietary.

Yeah there are lovely solutions for everything if you can self-host, but the general crowd only has standalone websites hosted by some brave pirate captain.
With regard to ebooks, a clean Kindle-friendly website that immediately downloads the .azw3 file for any book selected.
Bluesky and their AT Protocol sound much better.
They follow a federated model quite similar to Mastodon, except with better feeds powered by a variety of user-choosable post ranking and content discovery algorithms. It is the true federated Twitter/X clone.
From other launchers like Itch, Epic & GOG as well?
There is ChimeraOS too, based on Arch.
The problem with Linux is that you will always have to tolerate a nontrivial section of games being straight-up unavailable, of games breaking, running suboptimally and requiring hacky solutions to run, and the complete absence of first-party support from hardware manufacturers and game developers. It’s not suitable for HTPCs despite having terrific UI unfortunately.
Is there a universal launcher like Lutris available for Windows? I was looking to build a gaming HTPC and want to interface with it with just only a controller, just like a console.
We are not in want of such solutions, Lutris and other existing solutions are capable of making game-specific environments already. The main problem is having enough volunteers to painstakingly run, test and submit the exact dependency parameters for each game that makes it run correctly. Same will be the issue even if we shift to Nix or anything else. The problem is manpower scarcity, not lack of tech.
A Plague Tale: Innocence has already been given away for free in EGS once. I have it in my library.
Lol, no one except the completely deranged would forego a meal for an episode
Because contrary to the opinion of most terminally online people, media consumption is a very tiny part of life and happiness. It’s literally non-essential.
Microsoft only tolerates retail users, it has always intended its products to be for commercial entities.
My backlog is so large, I’m definitely going to die before getting through it.
Don’t call it that, man! games are an escape, a leisure activity. Not some work assignment you need to compulsively finish. It’s OK if you don’t play everything there is. 🙂
Librarians are not always (but in fact, are very rarely) Lit enthusiasts who’ll know the best choices whenever you ask them. Most of them are just doing their jobs.
But the libgen upload interface is cumbersome, requires way too many details and has regularly denied my uploads whenever I tried.
SMS has been free in India since 2016. Though one could say WhatsApp had already become dominant by then, so it stuck.
WhatsApp does not come pre-installed on most phones (for some reason it often isn’t included even with Facebook’s crapware). It is still the de facto chat app in India, Brazil and dozens of other Asian, South American and European countries.
All these features you get much better using actual E2E-encrypted chat apps like Signal or WhatsApp like the rest of the world.
It’d be better if they went after literally every other AI corp than Meta in this case. Meta is the only one that’s ironically releasing open-source models and leading the way for open-source LLMs. I don’t want Meta to stop doing this.
