Yeah, here's pretty good evidence for that. This is one of the admins of Lemmygrad, and based on the communities he runs alone it shows he is involved in the development of Lemmy. Further still, is this comment by him where he says he created an issue to be added on the Lemmy Github. The GitHub thread shows it was made by one of the two Lemmy devs.

That's definitely some of the clearer evidence that they are involved in the ownership of Lemmygrad. Also just noticed that the .ml domain sites are back online. Wonder how that happened?

Yeah, that's another core issue. The provider of the .ml domains is being sued by Meta for cybersquatting, and it also has gotten in trouble with ICANN before too. So it was in trouble, even if the Mali hadn't done what they did. And their actions make sense too in taht context, that's a lot of potential revenue for Mali in offering .ml domains, much like Tuvalu did with .tv domains.

Also yeah, in most circles it would mean Machine Learning. The Lemmy devs aren't that... Just for reference, pawb.social is de-federated from the devs other major instance, Lemmygrad.ml, because of their actions there. I can't speak for fmhy.ml, but I saw it got hit with the same issues due to the .ml domain. They are on a .net now, iirc.

Well, the assumption is because the two Lemmy devs are huge tankes, so using the .ml domain suites them, since it can mean "Marxism-Leninism."

This has already been disproven, due to the fact the method the researchers used to test how well it was doing was flawed to begin with. Here is a pretty good twitter-thread showing why the methods they used were flawed: https://twitter.com/svpino/status/1682051132212781056

TL:DR: They used an approach of only giving it prime numbers, and asking it if they were prime numbers. They didn't intersperse prime and non-prime numbers to really test it's capabilities at determining that. Turns out that if you do that, both the early and current versions of GPT4 are equally bad at determining prime numbers, with effectively no change noted between the versions.

If you're going for a similar Fedora-like experience, with it being a rolling release that is still stable, then OpenSuse Tumbleweed is definitely you're best bet.

Now, if the rolling release nature is something you're less attached to, then some good options would be Pop!_OS (especially if you have an Nvidia card), another Ubuntu-spin like Kubuntu perhaps or even KDE Neon, and maybe Debian 12. Though for the last one, although it's a fantastic distro, it looks nice, new, and shiny now, but in 6-12 months when you're not even half way through the Debian upgrade cycle and still on old software, will that bother you? If the answer is yes, then look elsewhere. Otherwise, Debian 12 may be a good choice for you as well.

Personally, at this point I don't fully understand why someone would choose to use Fedora over something like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. It's such a fantastic, rolling-release distro, that's super stable, easy to work with, has some amazing tools to work with it for more experienced users (YaST), and now it also means you aren't involving yourself in the chain-of-FUD that is arising due to RHEL's incompetence.

While I agree that Debian 12 is great right now, I'm curious how those opinions will hold in 12 months, when Debian isn't even half way through it's update cycle, and people realize they are now a ways behind other distros with regards to package updates.

I love Debian as a rock-solid system. But you have to know what you're getting into with it too.

Based on early views of it, I think it'll certainly give Gnome a run for it's money. If nothing else, it's helping to flesh out a Rust-based GUI toolkit for the rest of us. Iced is gonna be a lot more powerful in the end, whether their DE succeeds or fails.

[–] southernwolf@pawb.social 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yeah, I've begun to come around to that thinking as well. I'm curious to see what S76 has for their Cosmic DE that's written in Rust. I imagine I'll stick with that, though if that doesn't pan out well, I'd likely consider switching to KDE Plasma as my primary DE for my gaming/work PC.

OpenSuse Tumbleweed is a great choice for a rolling-release distro that is also really stable too.

Lol, see I thought the move away from Websockets was a bad call on their part, namely because of the reasons they gave for doing so. But, if it makes debugging easier, then that works too. xD

Be curious how the load on the server changes moving back to HTTP instead.
