Indeed, Ollama is going a shady route. https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/11016#issuecomment-2599740463

I started playing with Ramalama (the name is a mouthful) and it works great. There is one or two more steps in the setup but I've achieved great performance and the project is making good use of standards (OCI, jinja, unmodified llama.cpp, from what I understand).

Go and check it out, they are compatible with models from HF and Ollama too.

Never asked me anything of the sort. Were you trying to get a *.swiss domain?

Because they ask for your phone number?

If you're talking about the latest proposal to hamper encryption, it didn't pass.

This site is missing some alternatives such as the Swiss Infomaniak, so be mindful.

Edit: or maybe not such a good alternative after all https://www.tomsguide.com/computing/vpns/infomaniak-breaks-rank-and-comes-out-in-support-of-controversial-swiss-encryption-law

Denuvo specifically costs money as it's some kind of subscription so from what I understand most games will drop denuvo one day or another the moment it costs more than the cost of piracy, which is probably once the wave of initial sales has passed.

The imagine if their cloud runs the game using proton. The provider with the lowest overhead would have lower costs and thus a cheaper service. If Microsoft doesn't do it, someone else could.

What issues do you encounter when you say they "don't work right"?

How reliable is sleep? Does it actually go to sleep? Is the battery drain in sleep acceptable? Does it come out of sleep without issue? Is it fast to go to sleep and resume from sleep?

My experience with the steam deck has been absolutely stellar regarding sleep, to the point is has been a game changer. So fast to pick up for a quick game and put back to sleep even if playing just for a minute. It's reliable and the battery drain is acceptable maybe (roughly 10% per 24h but didn't measure it explicitly).

The video game landscape is already filled to the brims with more games than I need to play for the rest of my life and you want me to hurry up to pay for a game as it comes out, to ditch out the full price when my computer would suffer for the lack of latest gen hardware when I could easily find a large amount of fantastic games for less than 10 bucks and comfortably max out their settings?

Like, the witcher 3 with all its DLC, a fantastic game which is 10 years old but got a free graphics upgrade and with all its DLC, worth hundreds of hours of gameplay and a memorable experience is less than 10 bucks, as we speak, both on steam and gog.

Most people already have more games than they have time to play. Patient gamer has never been more rewarding. We fall too often for the fear of missing out the experience and hype of a new launch...

I finished GTA 4 and 5 like a year ago, on my steam deck. I couldn't care less if these games came out like 10 years ago. It gives me the flexibility to play them how I want to.
