@hylst @hank Haaaa, you make me blush. 🥰 Tbh I found that the steam deck was a lot less usable without steam there to properly habdle the inputs and bring up the virtual keyboard. Kinda the main reason I switched to the GPD win 4: the lil physical keyboard makes a huge difference.

Recommendation systems are so funny. I looked up how to do fourier transforms like 5 months ago and it keeps trying to feed me more. It's like Noh Face from spirited away trying to offer bits of gold.

> The experience of using an LLM to solve a problem is very similar to using voice-control like Alexa or Siri. You ask it to do something, and when it does the wrong thing, you're left explaining yourself in greater and greater detail until you might as well have solved the problem yourself.

@nasser A few dozen lines of hyper-sdk. Hypercore for appending messages and discovering peers.

Meta have been asking some users to confirm their identity with a 'video selfie', & for supposed account recovery. Soon, more users will be asked with threat of blocking or deleting their account as Meta prepares to launch their facial recog glasses (soon on shelves).

But it's not just about feeding their new product. Meta are harvesting biometric data on a vast scale, perhaps globally, & in full cohort with a dangerous regime.

Leaving Meta is an important act of resistance, now more than ever

@rndeon Yeah! Feel free to join the meetup group for updates. I'm thinking of doing it monthly but that depends on interest and whether we can secure venues. 😅

BTW the meetup is happening today in a few hours! Come join our potluck and learn how to make a more resilient foundation for technology.
