I like how minimal and fast pi.dev is and it mostly plays nice with my local models. It's absolutely not screen reader friendly and their streaming rendering approach means each sentence gets repeated over and over again with each added word. 💀

Working for large corporations erodes your future prospects as a worker because it makes it easier for a few giants to collude to reduce the average salary with coordinated mass layoffs. This is why there's so many white collar jobs being destroyed, not because "ai" is going to replace them all.

Can't wait to play antichamber in a few decades so I can experience it like it was new again.

Major rewrite number 4 on this feature I've been several months overtime on. 😭

@TheQuinbox That's so fancy! Am I understanding correctly that it's using NVDA as a speech dispatcher backend over the tunnel?

@TheQuinbox Wow, this is great actually! I accidentally set the rate to `1` which is causing a sort of denial of service attack on my brain with how slow it is. 😂 Do you have your configs published for this that I could take inspo from?

@TheQuinbox Haven't tried that yet! So far I've just used espeakup and fenrir. I just couldn't get espeakup to work at all and fenrir kinda worked but then stopped. 😅 Everything is more annoying on an ARM SBC.

Step one for my audio-only setup is done. I can have audio (and speech-dispatcher) running without a graphical session. Next I'll either keep banging my head trying to get these TTY screen readers to work or make my own one.

If the independent, non-slop web has any future at all, then now must be the time for every firefox fork to commit to working together to maintain a hardfork isolated from Mozilla.

It's a project that is too large to be handled by any small project alone (and maybe even all of them combined), but one that is too important to left under the guidance of an organization like Mozilla.

Without such bold co-operation I fear we have already lost.

It is incredibly important to be specific about what properties apply in situations to be able to make the correct trade offs.

An in that respect, VPNs are incapable of providing privacy - under any specific definition of privacy.

They can route around censorship, they can provide security, they can permit jurisdictional and trust flexibility.

But they can only do those things under very specific assumptions which require sharing additional information (albeit changing who gets what data)

Gonna try to make an app to sell which makes it easier to connect to services over p2p. the app will be open source but the default app store versions will have a one time fee.

Made a lil blog post about how I made my fan a bit less annoying.

Mostly as a reference next time I need to do this. :P

@dain Qwen3.6 27B. After a bit of testing, seems the performance degraded significantly with NVFP4 so I reverted back. 2x faster but 20x less useful :P

These meal replacement things I got have sucralose in them so I can't actually use them 😭

Got like 2x tok/sec with NVFP4 over UD-Q4_K_XL 🤯

I feel like a successful hunter gatherer when I get home with a huge costco haul.

Thinking back to when I made people book video calls with me in mozilla hubs for a few months
