@mariusor I'm not sure what information I'm supposed to get out of your reply. These are all things I am aware of.

@anton Do you use them for audio calls with the headset's mic? TBH it's decent for regular listening but as soon as it switches to HSP it goes all muddy because the other OSs support proprietary codecs and better postprocessing.

Linux not having proper bluetooth headset support is frustrating.

Prople with broad interests are important for bridging between islands of deep knowledge. How can the islands absorb the fruits of others labor without them? Artificial approaches can't cover all the useful cases on their own.

I WILL NOT BE BULLIED 💎

I received a vicious reply today because I use AI. It wasn't a disagreement. Nor a criticism. It was a full-frontal personal attack! And I’ll admit it affected me more than I expected.

I USE AI MAINLY BECAUSE I'M PARALYSED.

Typing is physically difficult for me. I have the use of only one hand. So, tapping out a post or email with one finger is exhausting. Voice and AI help me turn my own thoughts into usable writing in a normal amount of time.

THAT SHOULD NOT REQUIRE A DEFENCE.

You can dislike AI. You can distrust it. You can argue about copyright concerns, energy and water use, labour, culture, or anything else that concerns you. I will listen to you and answer you.

But attacking people simply for using AI is not principled.

IT'S BULLYING.

And disabled people should not have to produce a medical justification every time they use a technology that makes their life easier.

AI is a tool. How it is used matters. Who gets harmed matters. Context matters. What does not help is turning “AI user” into a moral accusation and deciding that cruelty is suddenly acceptable.

I’m quite happy to discuss the technology with anyone.

HOWEVER, I WILL NOT BE BULLIED FOR USING IT.

I didn't need to do anything about the attack. Before I could even decide how to respond, both the post and the person disappeared from my notifications.

@tychi I did my time working as a cashier and it was less stressful because the robot wasn't costantly complaining about bagging and the interface was way more efficient despite looking like it was made in the 90s. :P

fucking hate how stores force me to use their shitty self checkout machined. Getting groceries is a humiliation ritual.

The lunar eclipse is so interesting. You can clearly see the moon is just a big ball floating in the sky.

@lvk @soapdog Things got a lot nicer now that abort signals are more widespread too.

@lvk Mostly for processing streams of data. e.g. I'm using them for a mic input -> ASR -> STT -> LLM loop and it was way easier than the original callback based flow.

Async Generators are by far my favourite feature.

Local model was acting more clueless than usual and after stepping away and having a snack I found out it was due to a bug in my harness that kept clearing it's context.

Stefano on littleFedi

This is the first genuinely operational littleFedi instance.

It has been online since 1st July, is single-user (just me), and runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero W powered by NetBSD, directly on its SD card.

It consumes just under 1W.

Its database is this size:

-rw------- 1 little wheel 109289472 Aug 26 15:14 littlefedi.db

That is, just a little over 100 MB. Yes, MB.

Its average CPU load is extremely low.

It is perfectly usable both from the web interface and from Mastodon API apps.

I have 401 followers and 169 followings, and it doesn't bat an eye.

I promise myself to use it more, and I will.

You don't need Big Tech to communicate with others.

You don't need an expensive data center to exist online.

Because we are people, and the bits are just extensions of our voice.

EDIT: littleFedi allows to transform posts into blog posts, having its own SSG (Static Site Generator). The one generated by this post is reachable by clicking here.
