Instead of fighting 7 evil exes, you have to befriend 7 loving metamours.

Looks like Chromebook is being replaced with something called "Googlebook" and it is full-scale Microsoft-style Surveillance PC. Apparently anytime you "wiggle your cursor" anything that is underneath the cursor gets fed into Google's surveillance AI https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/platforms/android/meet-googlebook/
One of these things that makes me consider detecting the platform from my webserver and blocking it entirely because the probability of whatever I wrote becoming an LLM input is too high
This Tuesday is a Friday cause I have the rest of the week off. 😎😎😎😎
I swear code would be easier to navigate as a 4d graph of some sort. (or 3.5d?)
I don't really drink alcohol anymore so when I go clubbing I order water bottles to stay hydrated. For some reason it's a 50/50 split on whether the bartender will actually charge me for it and the inconsistency is painful to navigate. 🤪

Redditors have caught Google secretly updating its Chrome terms of service to remove a line that guaranteed that local AI models won't send data to Google servers.
That's now gone, meaning your local AI sends data to Google, so it's not that local.

Comminity is when one person assembles the mesh node hardware, another 3d prints a mount, and a third gives it a high enough mounting point to cover a region
Once again I prove to myself I am smarter than an LLM. 🤷 I kinda wish they were smarter so I wouldn't need to be. 🤪
Fun fact, whenever someone in the thousands of chatrooms I'm in says "cyberspace" their message gets piped straight into my head via bone conduction headphones. 🤪

I had a dream that Mozilla were bullied into including a toggle in Firefox that disables all the corpo bullshit (so no tracking, ads, AI, etc.) but they were really pissy about it so they called it "communism mode" and you had to click on a little Karl Marx to activate it

I am *loving* how every site puts up a Cloudflare or other "checking your browser" delaywall, before I can read a page.
It's just like early '90s web, you'd hit a link, wait for up to 90s for the page to even respond, start loading in, images would be many seconds or minutes more.
The wait builds appetite. Did you *need* to see this page, or just *want* it? Triage those links before clcking.
Consider closing browsers & going outside, play some hackeysack & drink Jolt Cola, while Korn plays.

This community has been really wonderful.
When we started deploying the first #MeshCore repeaters around #Boston / #CambridgeMA we were just a couple of folks trying out this new thing after many frustrations with #Meshtastic, and today we are this enormous group of adhoc communities that have self-organized into a decentralized, off-the-grid mesh radio network.
I don't know what's more punk than that.

#reminder
you can have big heap , or you can be decentralized but you cannot have both
I got the fancy DXG spark clone that Asus released. 🙈🙈 I've never owned this much compute before. Gonna connect it to my local net and ssh fron my wearable computer for extra cyberpunk cred.
I love how my notification reader pronounces "hehehehehehe"
According to my mother I've had really good night vision since I was a toddler walking around the house with zero night lights. I still love getting to wander at night, especially when I'm too far from the city's light pollution.
Verbatim copy pasting your slop logs is so cringe. 😵
