Yeah, mint uses synaptic. Works well in my experience.

IrritableOcelot@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Philips to Offer Free Downloadable Files to 3D Print Replacement Parts - Core772·29 days agoWell, I doubt they’ll release one for my clippers since they’re discontinued, so that inspired me to go ahead and model a variable-depth one for myself. Based on some of the comments here, I thickened the comb blades to make them print more easily.
IrritableOcelot@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Philips to Offer Free Downloadable Files to 3D Print Replacement Parts - Core771·29 days agoThey havent released one for the razor I have, but honestly I might try modeling them myself. Doesn’t seem impossible, and I’ve been waning a deeper comb than they sell.

IrritableOcelot@beehaw.orgto Linux@lemmy.ml•The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source6·1 month agoThat…is wine.
IrritableOcelot@beehaw.orgto Linux@lemmy.ml•How to see if your GPU is being used by games or a process in linux?9·1 month ago…and for anyone like me who was unsure, yes it works equivalently for AMD. I think Intel as well, but I’m not sure about that.
IrritableOcelot@beehaw.orgto Linux@lemmy.ml•Linux: How to use energy better in general by fine-tuning laptop battery?31·1 month agoWell, you will have excess solar power during the day, so just keep it plugged in to the solar while solar is available. Then, just unplug the laptop in the evening until you get to 15-20%.
Trying to force the laptop to discharge while plugged in is colossally more trouble than it’s worth.
IrritableOcelot@beehaw.orgto Linux@lemmy.ml•graphics drivers for bazzite download. 9xxmx equivalent to gtx 9xx???2·1 month agoI would assume that they left the MX off of laptop GPUs, since they’re all MX cards, until recently. Regardless, the “card of the right approximate era” thing should work, unless there are specific patches for your card, which is unlikely.
IrritableOcelot@beehaw.orgto Linux@lemmy.ml•Removal of Deepin Desktop from openSUSE due to Packaging Policy Violation7·1 month agoIt seems to me that the offending dialog would only be triggered if you did a full fresh install. During the previous iteration of the testing, they probably had a VM somewhere with it installed; since the underlying packages were already present, the dialog would never have popped up.
Ubuntu 16.04, dual booted on my laptop before I knew how much of a hassle that could be! Fortunately, never had any of the infamous issues.

IrritableOcelot@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•DeepSeek-V3 now runs at 20 tokens per second on Mac Studio, and that’s a nightmare for OpenAI11·3 months agoNot somebody who knows a lot about this stuff, as I’m a bit of an AI Luddite, but I know just enough to answer this!
“Tokens” are essentially just a unit of work – instead of interacting directly with the user’s input, the model first “tokenizes” the user’s input, simplifying it down into a unit which the actual ML model can process more efficiently. The model then spits out a token or series of tokens as a response, which are then expanded back into text or whatever the output of the model is.
I think tokens are used because most models use them, and use them in a similar way, so they’re the lowest-level common unit of work where you can compare across devices and models.
IrritableOcelot@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Apple unveils new Mac Studio, the most powerful Mac ever1·3 months agoAgreed! I’m just not sure TOPS is the right metric for a CPU, due to how different the CPU data pipeline is than a GPU. Bubbly/clear instruction streams are one thing, but the majority type of instruction in a calculation also effects how many instructions can be run on each clock cycle pretty significantly, whereas in matrix-optimized silicon its a lot more fair to generalize over a bulk workload.
Generally, I think its fundamentally challenging to generate a generally applicable single number to represent CPU performance across different workloads.
IrritableOcelot@beehaw.orgto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•The spring Steam sale is happening right now. What games do you want to play but won't buy despite a deep discount and why?English111·3 months agoLol I was trying to play Dragon Age games a couple months ago, and the EA app is so terrible that I couldn’t get them to run on windows. But on Linux in the proton sandbox? No problem, worked right out of the box. 😂😂
IrritableOcelot@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Apple unveils new Mac Studio, the most powerful Mac ever4·4 months agoI mean, sure, but largely GPU-based TOPS isn’t that good a comparison with a CPU+GPU mixture. Most tasks can’t be parallelized that well, so comparing TOPS between an APU and a TPU/GPU is not apples to apples (heh).
IrritableOcelot@beehaw.orgto Linux@lemmy.ml•On Linux, what's the best way to convert a onenote.zip notebook to markdown or html?3·4 months agoObsidian isn’t open source, but it’s so solid I almost don’t care…
IrritableOcelot@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•HP to build future products atop grave of flopped 'AI pin' • The Register4·4 months agoI just came across the lines in the OpenSuse 42 .bashrc in to connect to palm pilots today…what a flashback.
IrritableOcelot@beehaw.orgto Linux@lemmy.ml•Is it me or Ubuntu secretly replaces DEB Firefox with Snap Firefox?4·5 months agoYeah for sure, I read your comment as excusing canonical screwing with user intent but I see that’s not what you meant.
IrritableOcelot@beehaw.orgto Linux@lemmy.ml•Is it me or Ubuntu secretly replaces DEB Firefox with Snap Firefox?25·5 months agoThat is not the same thing as “snap and apt Firefox are the same”. They just hijacked apt to force snap in.
Nah, I’ve had no issues pasting from the clipboard into signal, from either the Mint screenshot tool or Flameshot. Not sure what issue the top commenter is having…
