  • Pros

    • it’s free (I don’t have an income)
    • no proprietary copyright bs that could get me in trouble for downloading it
    • it’s on my computer, locally, doesn’t need internet
    • comes from china (I always wanted something from there ever since i learned that it’s socialist)
    • applied math & science
    • gets actively developed
    • allows me to actually make good-looking pictures (i’m bad at drawing & 3d modeling)
    • pisses off the cultists that made me support copyright & made me believe illogical shit i’m embarrassed to have ever believed
    • there’s so much i did learn and so much i can still learn
    • the word GGUF sounds funny: g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-gufff

    Cons

    • takes ages to download
    • extremely brittle tooling
    • LLMs trip me up. I don’t want machines to chat with me, I want them to shut up and do what I told them.
    • needs a powerful computer (mine barely runs most of it)
    • there’s so much I don’t understand (gets real “fun” when patching the buggy tooling)
    • python update breaks everything

    So, overall, I like it very much. But there’s Miraculous, and modded Minecraft, so it’s my number three interest.
