De-google-ify Internet
Amazing campaign by the French not-for-profit association Framasoft.
The De-google-ify Internet project offers 26 ethical and alternative online tools that may be used by everyone.
They build open source alternatives to many Google services like Youtube, Agenda, Docs, Forms, Maps etc, as well other services to replace Doodle, Facebook Event, Github, Zoom, Slack and much more!
Check their beautiful website, watch the videos to know more about their work and follow them here in Mastodon:

Dang, videogame graphics these days are hardcore. I remember being more than satisfied with DOOM back in the day and now each leaf and pebble looks realistic with fancy lighting effects everywhere.
Playing Dragon Age Veilguard and the "fantasy name per sentance" density is pretty high 🤪 It's like every other sentance they have to namedrop somebody.
@brandon Have you messed with Qubes OS? I've been considering setting a machine up with it to see how it goes.
@brandon Yeah focusing on containers is a reasonable approach. I usually lean the opposite and try to be as close to the metal as possible with as few dependencies or little sophistication I can get away with. Usually just to speed up boostrapping on raw machines with limited configuration. Fish is neat! I've just pimped my bash to be less painful :P
I think I'm warming up to using local LLMs for helping me code. I don't trust them for large scale code generation but it's started saving me some time in looking up syntax and docs via DuckDuckGo. I still need to look up docs for most of the work I do but not so much for common use cases you'd find on stack overflow.
@villares Neat. For sandboxes I like to use JupyterLite in browsers to skip having to install anything natively.
The second last layer was set to relu which messed everything up.
@carlos Sweet, thanks for the link!
Lmao, re-running an neural network training thing I did a month ago and it's no longer able to train a working model. Not even sure what changed 🤷
#python tips for folks getting started.
Don't use the system-level python as that can update and break dependencies. E.g. Arch uses 3.13 if you update and Tensorflow can't go above 3.12.
Use pyenv to do version management per project. https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv
Don't install pip dependencies globally. Use virtualenv to set up dependencies per project. https://virtualenv.pypa.io/
Python versioning is rough out of the box and these tips can save you some pain.
@lucid00.com Another group you might like is this VrChat Biosensing discord which uses EEG signals to control avatars. I think even though the corpos overhyped there's still some hope in us actually having access to interoperable spatial computing tools on the future
@lucid00.com There's still pockets of folks working on standards outside of the NFT/Corpo co-opting of the idea. https://omigroup.org/
Lots of neat stuff happening in the Godot and Blender space for example.
The appeal of machine learning to me is how clean the actual structure of models can be once you split it up in the right layers.
A lot of "application" code is a tangled web of dependencies and small independent or coupled bits of state that you need to coordinate in bizarre ways to account for the difficulty of state management in distributed systems.
ML on the other hand needs maths knowledge but the blocks fit together in a nice clean linear way of input to output.
In manual memory management, the garbage collects YOU.
Found this #techno banger via tiktok. Very cyber.

@Alice I love seeing a good spreadsheet NGL.
