That’s so funny that you actually checked.

And also thanks for the kind words. I’m actually working on a few blog posts since my job and school have calmed down.

But you’re right, I should also contribute to open source memery

I’ve been thinking about swapping my work laptop to Linux too.

The difference is I’m in IT and I know what all things I need to put on my computer to make it compliant with all our policies and all the software I need to do my job.

I’ve been experimenting by running some Linux VMs with all the EDR, patching, and logging software we need. But by the time I’m doing all that, there’s really no point in using Linux except for the CLI which WSL has been great for that.

I would never glaze that hack! His ideas were far too disjointed and useless.

Now of you check my self hosted blog I go into much better more specific detail on why technology is bad!

Not from lack of trying. I think it might have happened if flash player hadn’t died

Its such a good game.

Honestly. Very accurate to his writing. Its less uncertain than the other.

Its too early. I read this as

“Exposing Kanyes Sex Tape”

I figured it was just a skill issue on my end that Spotify wasn’t working, but I really should be just buying CDs/digital albums as opposed to paying the Spotify subscription

I’m a week into using GrapheneOS and its been great. It is a little restrictive in that I seem to have to explicitly allow apps to run and apps like my Bank app or Spotify don’t work.

However, most apps are just Web Apps at this point and I’ve noticed very little difference in the use of the app versus the pinned browser version.

I’m also trying to curb a phone addiction so Graphene + Lemmy + Mastodon + Jellyfin is all I’m using on this thing.

I assume google headphones would cease to work if I degoogle the device

I’m using my Pixel Buds. They work just as well. Remember, its just a Bluetooth device just without all the QOL stuff like voice control.

I recommend trying it. Graphene OS install also has instruction ions to revert if you change your mind. And it’s pretty easy. Maybe a touch harder than installing Linux generally, but if your dailying Debian, you’re fine.

I doubt that.

I like a very small amount of RGB.

I didn’t always, I wanted full no color, but the ONLY GPU I could find had just a smidge of RGB in the logo (MSI something 5060 ti) and I like it as a highlight.

I am a fan of LLMs and what they can do, and as such have a server specifically for running AI models. However, I’ve been reading “Atlas of AI” by Kate Crawford and you’re right. So much of the data that they’re trained on is inherently harmful or was taken without consent. Even in the more ethical data sets it’s probably not great considering the sheer quantity of data needed to make even a simple LLM.

I still like using it for simple code generation (this is just a hobby to me so Vibe coding isn’t a problem in my scenario) and corporate tone policing. And I tell people non stop that it’s worthless outside of these use cases and maybe as a search engine, but I recommend Wikipedia as a better start almost Everytime.

I was honestly impressed with the speed and accuracy I was getting with Deepseek, llama, and Gemma on my 1660ti.

$100 used and it was seconds to get responses.

Hell, I bet they have stats on exactly how many Linux users they have just based on how many people use proton.

I’m inclined to believe not a single actually suicidal person received one of these messages.

You can’t automate concern for fellow humans.

Nice! Maybe I can get that AI server working then.

Good. Everyone deserves a union.

I do hope they do good things for the greater good of humanity though, which is historically what Google devs have unionized over seeing as they most certainly aren’t hurting for money.

Much easier for valve to ban the Russian one that most certainly wasn’t going to make any money for valve than the money printer that is COD. And it has the perk of never letting then reflect on their own past as part of the war propaganda engine

New Player: “My Wizard casts fireball targeting the king!”

Me: “Actually that doesn’t happen y-”

NP: “Did a hidden wizard cast counter spell! I can-”

Me: “No I just won’t let you do that. Try to ruin our game again and I’ll ban you from the discord.”

Np: “Oh.”
