It needs a driver and the web-browser to be executed in headless mode. For Chrome that’s chrome-driver. You can get it here.
To make a script for it, I recommend talking to a LLM. I have asked it to build scrapers before, so it does the job.
If you want a practical use of Selenium being demonstrated, you can see it in LucidWebSearch plugin for Oobabooga.
Finally, something done using only RISCV.
People are not assholes just because they’re anonymous. They’re assholes because they’re sociopaths. The Internet still is the refuge for isolation and escapism. I don’t think that will change, but maybe those people will be happier in the future.
I think the gaming community being made of socially awkward, isolated and unemployed people doesn’t help the scenario. But I think there is light at the end of the tunnel.
I’ve also run into this when trying to program in Rust. It just says that the newest features don’t exist and keeps rolling back to an unsupported library.
I understand that it makes less sense to spend in model size if it isn’t giving back performance, but why would so much money be spent on larger LLMs then?
ONLYOFFICE is fully compatible with doc and docx files. It’s what I installed on my mom’s computer. She is having an easy time using it. Clients mostly work with doc and docx files, so having an Office Suite that is not fully compatible with those files (like LibreOffice) is a problem. To download ONLYOFFICE you have to search for ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors. Sorry about the Caps, but the official name of the program is in all Caps.
I run The Sims 4 using Steam, but I also have The Sims 2 installed via the EA App and running.
When not using Steam, there is another compatibility layer called Wine, which can run games by installing them in a .wine folder (which will contain all windows related apps).
You have to download Lutris (it runs GOG, EA, Ubisoft) and it will set things up for you, but you will need to modify some files and restart the computer to make the EA App install properly (it has compatibility problems with some settings files - you have to make a file executable and modifiable). ChatGPT or Gemini will be able to give you directions on what to modify if you copy paste the error messages.
Wine installs things on your computer as if it were a windows machine. All files (including the C folder) will be in a hidden folder on your home folder called “.wine”. Linux Mint has a button on the File Explorer to show hidden folders.
Having a LLM guide you through the process eases it a lot, but it is a lot to take in for someone that is starting on Linux, but it gets better and Linux is great because it’s hackable. You can change everything. This is one of its strong points.
Good luck running your games. Effort on adapting to Linux will pay off. It’s a OS that is closer to the machine than Windows (also for closed source and proprietary reasons Windows want to keep the user “away” from the machine).
What I mean is, if you’re using Linux, you’ll have a much easier time coding and programming something, if comes the need. Sometimes, this means being able to do things you would usually use web apps for (splitting PDFs, converting files, and so on).
Apparently, BlackMeta is behind the DDoS attack to the Internet Archive. Apparently they are pro-Palestine hacktivists - their X account also has some russian written in it.
(Edit) Also, Internet Archive is banned on China since 2012 and Russia since 2015.
It was a long read, but it is interesting.
I didn’t pay that much. It was 300 to 500 reais. I received the product in my doorstep.
Ebay or Aliexpress, I don’t remember. It works in conjunction with “Livraria cultura”, though.
It seems that the book focus on foreign wars and interventions, but the lasting impact of western culture industry in the whole world is also important. I think it also takes a better life experience out from the ordinary american citizen. The western american citizen could be living a better life (more independent and self-aware), were it not by mass culture.
I bought a Kobo Clara last year and it works. I can even buy books. I live in Brazil.
Incredible. How can companies have that much power? Buying a nuclear reactor as if it were a birthday gift.
It needs to work and be reliable, else it becomes something like YaCy, that doesn’t work that well. Well, Mastodon and Lemmy work fine, so that’s a first step.
Yes, and there are people who already worked on terminal screens using RISC-V. But any compatibility advancement is already an advancement for backtracking how those systems work. Therefore, an advancement in Open Hardware. If we can use those systems more efficiently, it’s all the better.
I think this kind of work is a good step towards Open Hardware.
Gemini, Perplexity, Poe. Creating a Selenium script isn’t that hard for them. You can try running your own, but it’s more less likely that it will produce good results. Best coder LLM I’ve seen out there for hosting is Yi Coder 9B.
