@burnitdown @xgranade Also for repairability and upgrades the @frameworkcomputer computers are decently priced and so easy to use https://frame.work/ca/en/laptop13
@burnitdown @xgranade @system76 Less than a new macbook but I agree it'd be better if folks reused hardware. I think businesses would have the highest impact rather than household consumers.
It is strange to read an article detailing exactly why and how Microsoft has lost its way, leading to products that really just aren't good any more, all the way through to academic critiques of Microsoft's AI push (though, I'll note, the article goes out of its way to not mention Emily Bender).... only to read in the closing lines that the author is completely unwilling to even try Linux.
@burnitdown @xgranade IMO the safest path for regular users is to buy a preloaded computer from one of the many vendors out there like @system76 No need to do anything fancy and it comes preloaded with an approachable desktop environment.
Thinking of ditching Ollama and running Llama.cpp directly in a systemd user service. It's great for tinkering but it adds overhead and can be slower to adopt new llama.cpp features. Thanks to Arch linux it's easy to just build it from github using this AUR package.
@django Yeah 😅 Been finding them all over the place after we made a core part of the codebase that used to be sync into an async worker. Glad we have tests to catch this stuff!
17. These lil digivice things seem perfect for my local assistant tinkering. Maybe once I get better hardware for inference or get streaming working locally.

@jadehopepunk @p2panda may I shamelessly throw @agregore onto your radar for making it easier to author and distribute mesh local p2p apps without complex build tools?
@akhileshthite I just reduced the font size and magically got more horizontal space 🤪
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
Yap with me and send me cool links relating to my interests. 👍
