- A proprietary version of Linux is used. - The attached proprietary software is included under usr/lib/firmware in squashfs.img (as far as I can tell, the only free software included is the ar9170 & ar9271 software, which I've excluded from the list) - yes that is 2287+ proprietary programs.
Note that you need to have decent hardware for everything to conveniently work straight away (Trisquel works fine on the latest proprietary Intel with integrated graphics and a wired NIC - as ironically those work without any additional proprietary software to what's included in the "UEFI").
Ironically intel integrated works perfectly and old Nvidia tends to work fine with free software, while ATI and AMD graphics work extremely poorly (you can hack up the radeon driver to work without proprietary software on ATI and AMD cards and get at least native resolution output, but no 3D acceleration - 3D is only possible via llvmpipe).
@SuperDicq@7666@anemone@subnetter LLMs are deterministic - but there is a "temperature" value to introduce randomness - if you are permitted to set the "temperature" to 0, the outputs are entirely deterministic.
@fristi >Do you want to learn how to do maintenance work on your car? How to tune it? How to do repairs? Yes. It needs to be ready to run government agents over, or I need to be able to fix it to make it ready.
Yes, the tools and the mess and the oil is actually filthy.
Meanwhile, experiencing GNU is very clean and is very pleasant - once I get it working, it continues to work.
@HatkeshiatorTND@SuperDicq@TritTriton@ruari The user interface of a browser is an essential software component and that being proprietary means the software is proprietary.
@billiam@parker Unfortunately, compressed air just isn't practical for a decent amount of energy storage, as you need a large amount of volume to store a reasonable amount of power.
It seems pumped hydro or even just weights at such sizes stores comparable energy.
