If the thing you depend on costs a lot of money to operate, and got a lot of "investment" (loans) to get it in everyone's face, it will inevitably screw you over once the true owners want to bleed it dry for cash. The alternatives might not be as "popular", but they're the only option to escape the cycle.

@hazematman @lfa This is a list I came across last time I looked into it. github.com/bkil/freedom-fighte

It's exhausting watching people constantly shoot themselves in the foot by putting all their energy into platforms that are doomed to screw them over with the exact same patterns of being cheap and easy at first and inevitably shit once you're stuck there.

animals enjoy my company, and I'm never without wheat. here, take some. *I hand you a scoop of grain from my apron pocket* there you are—but remember, nothing in life is free. you owe me something in return. I would like a binary-compatible drop-in replacement for libncurses written in rust. no worries, I can wait. you can write it through the winter, subsisting on the debt I have just loaned you. they call this leverage, in the finance world. I have many friends in that industry—bulls and bears, mostly.

I don't think the hype around "state of the art" small models like lfm2.5-thinking is warranted. Even if there's a bunch of "benchmarks" that they score higher on compared to other models of their "class", they're still to weak to perform tasks. Like all tiny models they're prone to babbling and getting confused.

@nitrofurano Ha ha I wish. This was just from disabling Windows services on my friend's laptop. I don't think they're ready to migrate to a Linux distro yet, but I'm easing them into the idea :P

Managed to remove about 5-6 gigs of RAM usage and 15% CPU usage by disabling the AI stuff, One Drive, and random Dell/Adobe crapware.
