@atax1a That's reasonable! I don't mean to say that everyone should do as I want. Only that I appreciate when folks CW stuff.

@atax1a I love it when people CW US pol so I can get a break from the constant doom posting if I want. Setting up word filters for all the various actors and euphamisms is exhausting. I'd rather not have to block/mute people entirely

Sometimes I almost miss having a regular laptop but it's been like a decade since those days and the controller setup suits me way better

hot take, burning hot take, like, not to you who probably agree but to the companies who disagree: not only should it be easy and legal to jailbreak all your devices ... the "jail" shouldn't even exist, you should be able to install and uninstall any software without jailbreaking the device

this includes phones, tablets, consoles, smart appliances, and obviously computers

Adding alt+arrow keys navigation to my web browser has been great because I can hit that with the left joystick (mapped to arrow keys) and my back left bumper (alt) on my GPD Win 4.

sometimes I step back and admire how fucked up my default computer experience is. Folms are worried about GNOME desktops being too hard compared to windows. Meanwhile I had to run a TUI to connect to wifi until a few months ago and liked it 🤪

@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!

lol half an hour banging my head only to figure out the test was running faster than the init code and the temp dir got cleaned before the worker could init a tem DB. 🤪

"Desktop" sites should still support "mobile" screen widths. Not everyone is going to have your site/webapp full screened and maybe they don't want your spyware laden mobile apps.

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?

Maybe some of the self driving hype could be directed into railways. Like the ultimate ai robot blockchain metaverse.

Do not rely on the A.I.-generated alt text in Facebook or Instagram. The result is vague and useless, like "may be an image of food and text," and "may be an image of outdoors." These do nothing to give users the context and content of an image.
