As a hard-of-hearing person, I need either subtitles, or super-loud volume. But bad sound-mixers in todays movies make everyone mumble right before giant explosions.

And I really hate that Meta fucked up smart-glasses for everyone. We could have had IRL subtitles for people like me on local-only glasses, that don’t record people, but they had to make it creepy.

I ran Debian on one of the surface pros a few years ago. It took a bit of hardware hacking, but it was great.

I use a TWM and spend most of my time in the shell, so I didn’t get to utilize a lot of the OS features. But things like reading comics, and surfing the web were pretty cool.

I always wondered if Gnome would be a better interface for it. It seems like they’ve been leaning that direction for a while.

Yup, it’s hard to justify supporting Lenovo, but work buys mine, so I’m not gonna complain too much about it.

Thinkpads are awesome. They aren’t as good as they used to be, but they still work great for linux.

Why mint?

I use mint as my “TV room” OS. It’s worked pretty well so far.

I’m pretty annoyed at how ollama has gone deep in the paint as basically being a tool for accessing cloud models.

Can you expound a little more on what you mean by this?

I like ollama, but I only really use it to load models and then hit the API. My current issue with them is that they don’t seem to support non-text base interaction very well.

I’m not going to say that I don’t have a server-collection problem, but that problem did put me on a good career path, so at least I have that going for me.

As a system administrator, I’ve done all of these to some extent. But at that pay range, it better be part-time.
