great! thanks for the reply. one other use-case that crossed my mind is an ability to write simple API requests in the GUI. for example, if you want to automatize a bunch of requests within the app itself, or control the format of its response to requests by an external app (basically tunneling them through your app). not sure how useful it is to others, and perhaps this is more easily achievable by simply writing a python script. but I think some ai companies do have this built in to their web interfaces.

whoever says pacman is enough either have all the time in the Universe to configure the miniscule knobs or have never done serious development with multi-platform/compiler deployments. controlling which compilers are used for which packages in pacman (or any other default package manager for that matter) is a headache. having multiple versions of non-conflicting gcc, llvm, cuda etc is priceless and very easy with brew.

elitism aside, brew is genuinely a good package manager when it comes to imperative ones. I still use it on my desktop arch extensively. ofc, if you have nix, there is really no good reason for it (and I’m not even sure it’s possible).

PS. “but you can use docker” – not if you want to have the same performance especially on GPUs. also have you ever tried containerizing HIP? it’s a frigging nightmare.

PPS. if you disagree with the first paragraph – please reach out or send links. i’d love to learn how to do these on finite timescales of our lifetime.

run with --password-store=basic flag from the command line. if that helps, simply make a .desktop file with the proper Exec= field. let me know if you need more details.

UPD: just saw there was an earlier response on this! hope that helped.

i’d also recommend adding a way to pull the models (say for ollama this is trivial). that’s one of the things I liked about owui

Sorry for vagueness. My suggestion was to replace the “add post” button with the “change layout.” I feel that most of the people use “change layout” more frequently (since different lemmy communities are better fitted with different layouts) than “create a new post.”

Maybe. In any case I try to never infer someone’s tone from text interactions since it’s always faulty and lacks human dimension. By default I just assume people actually mean what they write. I think we get (on average) more aggressive, and tend to show less empathy when not talking face to face.

Also… The term “American left-wing” is offensive for a Marxist like myself. :D

Guys, guys… You’re over-ideologizing a very simple humane request. I was asked nicely and respectfully – I tried to respond in the same way. Simple as that. I’m usually not regulating my personal communications with others in terms of laws and amendments.

same here (except it’s waybar in my case) ( :

i really apologize if the use of that word was perceived as offensive, that was obviously not my intent. i’m usually quite straightforward in picking words (i come from a completely different culture, where sexual assaults are extremely uncommon).

PS. for the context of others reading this comment, the original title of this post was: “nmtui that does not rape your eyes.”
