Nice

Love Ian Davis man, such a cool channel.

Absolutely agreed, I get where your coming from. My point being is that a neurotypical would at least have put some emotion into their response or maybe try to deescalate.

That said, reading through the other comments, it looks like there was more to the interaction. Either way, I dont think the other person handled it well. You didn’t do anything wrong in your response to her yelling at you. Hanging up the phone and walking away is perfectly reasonable.

I myself would have probably been very anxious in the moment and furious after.

Everyone is different though, its a spectrum for a reason.

Most folks would get mad or say something if someone yelled at them. When you have autism or other neurodivergence of some kind, you tend to respond to things differently.

Since you just said “ok” without explanation or complaint, and then hung up, thats very matter of fact, straight to the point, and lacks the more emotional response most neurotypical people would have.

This is of course just my opinion based on what you have mentioned and my own personal experiences. Not everyone presents Autsim in the same way and I’m not a classic example of ADHD, so take all that with a grain of salt.

Not neurotypical, but I have ADHD so some of the same stuff you may experience being autistic applies. Not one for one, but I also know a few autistic people and my partner is autistic.

To start, nothing needs to be “wrong” with you to have autism. Its just a different way of thinking and processing. I often tell myself the same thing, I’m not bad or wrong for having ADHD, I’m just different. Just wanted to throw that out there, its very easy to get caught up in that thinking and I’m guilty of it as well.

As for what you experienced, some people just blow up when they’ve had a bad day or are stressed. Your question doesn’t really seem off or unreasonable, I think the way that person handled it was in the wrong if anything. You shouldn’t yell at anyone like that under normal circumstances, certainly not at work.

The way you responded was more indicative of being autistic to an extent.

IMO, nothing wrong with you my friend, seems they had an issue.

Preach man, Fedora worked great for everything except the COPR for yabridge was no up to date and you had to go through command line hell to get it to work. I switched a while after that to PopOS which I use now.

I’m a fairly capable tech guy, but I’m an artist. I wanna make music at 3 am when I have a song stuck in my head, not troubleshoot.

Yabridge works on my install of PopOS, but the VSTs that I use just don’t work except for one. And I spent around $300 on them collectively over the last 9 years or however long its been.

Also annoying that I can’t look at YouTube at all while Reaper is open. Straight up won’t play the video. Not great when I’m trying to troubleshoot why a VST isn’t working and I have to close the program I’m trying to troubleshoot.

Despite my issues with Music production, I’m still glad I switched to Linux. I don’t have to worry about my PC shutting off randomly to do updates, I can install whatever software I want, no one spies on me, I’m loving it for all those reasons.

I am giving up on making music in Linux, but aside from that, everything else will be done on my main machine. I’m making an offline only Windows box specifically for music production and nothing else. No internet access. It will only access my local network for file transfer.

In short, totally agree, but I paid money for Windows only VSTs years ago before i switched and they sound too good man. Also Reaper keeps crashing with native linux VSTs so really not here for that.

If you can do everything on Linux, that’s great. Its just less stable and polished for creative work IMO.

That makes sense, was thinking of buying a new KVM so that’s likely the path I’ll take.

Much appreciated.

Unfortunately its a no name KVM I bought used off eBay so no specs I can find, but I think you and Blue_Morpho hit the nail on the head.

I’m going to do some testing after work and see if I can maybe find specs, maybe a workaround if there is one. Was thinking of buying a new KVM anyways so if all else fails, I’ll just shop around.

Thank you very much for your help.

I love this idea, because I often have questions like this as I transition away from proprietary software to open source alternatives

I think listing what software equivalents it might replace listed in the card.

I do see its listed when you click on the info card in the main list, but having it be visible before that might be helpful.

I know a lot of people won’t like the little ad cards when you do click on a software to review its page, but I think the way you implementted it is good. Its not intrusive and clearly states its an ad.

Edit: removed bit about categories.

I’d imagine the EU has at least as good if not better protections than the US for consumers but I hope you get your money back man.

Its not just about the money, its about the principal. Microsoft can afford to give you back 12 euros.

And now writing that out i realize i should have caught you were in the EU lol

Yea this isnt legal if you never got the product. That would be a scam.

If you’re in the US I’m sure the BBB and or FTC as well as your attorney general would love to hear all about how they never gave money back for a product you never got.

If i can figure it out I’ll be sure to post something lol.

So far, i found a python project that is supposed to enable RAG but i have yet to try it and after a reinstall of my linux pc to Popos, im having less than success getting ollama to run.

Me personally, i use my AMD 7700XT to run ollama on my main pc. Can be helpful for troubleshooting as the internet gets worse amd worse to search especially if i dont know what the issue is. Thats my main use case for it but id like to set up something with RAG and use it to help me with documentation if i have questions.

I don’t think its super worth it to use a VPS for an LLM if you already have a decrnt gpu that you can run it on. If yoy dont already have the hardware, plenty of older gpus can run the models pretty well. My 1070ti still kicks ass all these years later and you can find them for $100 bucks or less on ebay used. Ive used it for ollama as well and it does just fine.

Will it be super fast or a really big model? No, but if its for personal use, i dont see any benefit to paying a monthly subscription for it and like i said, works well enough for me.

Its also more secure and private to host it yourself if thats worth anything to you. Thats one of the biggest reasons i self host.

I was recently looking for something like this and couldn’t find what i was looking for, so thanks!

I tried umbrel and wasnt super impressed. It seemed like it would function alright for the small amount of things i was trying to do but broke shortly after installing. I set up pihole and i think jellyfin since i was just testing it out on an older laptop.

I’ve heard decent things about CasaOS but have not used it myself.

I have used discover and other similar apps like the Pop shop but man are they just not quite there yet imo.

I installed Pop!OS on my media pc recently and that gave me more problems than discover on my main pc running Fedora.

Both were good for finding apps but installing was kind of a pain. Usually it would crash, or not install at all, sometimes canceling would hang forever, etc.

Though this could be due to my internet being shit where i live atm so ymmv.

It has gotten easier the more I’ve used it amd I’m very stubborn so I’ll be here a while lol.

Unfortunately the only person i know that also uses Linux uses Gentoo so he’ll have to compile my question for a few days before he can answer it.

I enjoyed this video, im already subbed to him but i loved his take on Linux cause im kinda in the same boat. I wanna be here, but man I do wish it was a little easier sometimes.

What are you doing step-LAN?
