It’s the natural outcome of parenting and mortality. We NEED something at the top managing all this so we can feel comfortable that someone is at the wheel.

Some of us actually give a shit about other people, just not enough of a shit to do anything about it, but we care…

cursed by his own hubris…

I’d like to return to about 12 hours ago so I can sleep

CEO should have consulted an AI for backlash on that sentiment.

Then you have NixOS, which is declarative, and fairly immutable.

You don’t have to reboot to make changes, but you can’t just run unlinked binaries either.

You can’t do things like edit your hosts table or modify the FS for cron jobs. The application store is unwritable, but you can sync new apps into it .

You have to make changes to the config file and run a rebuild as root.

Pshaw, even at LV, it’s a lay theory that is, at best, vastly incomplete and, at worst, demonstrably false.

Electricity will flow through all paths, the most electricity will flow down the path of the least resistance.

That arc is going up because the plasma is hot and the air is turbulent.

Wait, Why is Maryland White? Somebody take Maryland damnit!

Either way I get affordable healthcare, then it’s either tacos or poutine, and I’m NGL I could go either way on that.

My wife sent me this unbidden

Meanwhile i’m double-digit hours away from WDW

Conceptually the same as a royal “we”. Like when you tell a child “we” don’t do that, you don’t mean them and you you mean a larger group. So when I say locally I mean on my network. And when I say on my network I mean I expand my network to wherever I am via VPN. All my web searches and my AI calls get serviced via a docker server at home.

You can’t pry people away from their AI algorithms

Oh they’ll still fill positions it just means they’re going to contract.

Just put a CC reader on the bathroom door.

They won’t freeze the assets until the company is officially barred from working here. They won’t just fuck around and blindly try to figure out what they’re doing, once they command Apple and Google to remove it from the App store, they’ll start freezing assets and stopping financial transactions. It’s just the nature of the beast.

I’m afraid it’s the royal local ;)

Llama and Open web UI or running in docker containers. My server is running tail scale, when any of my devices aren’t connected to my home Wi-Fi they light up tail scale.

I have run on Pinokio before without any problems. I think Pin and Jan are rather equivalent.

Right when S2 came out, If you needed to go in and screw with anything they would force you off of S1 into S2.

Right when the app released it was pretty bad. They broke the integrations. Speakers were having a lot of trouble being added. My SL ones were just appear and disappear randomly for a bit. It took them like a month to sort it out.

But 99% of my use cases are audio over ARC, and playing music in one kid’s room every night. The arc never stopped working for me on my beam 2.

When the sl-one dropped off I just used an echo for about a week. Plex was broken for two separate 1 weeks bands during which I also just used the echo.

I think it didn’t bother me all that much because I’m already presenting to home automation, and any of my cloud immigrations just explode every time a company farts.

I’d love some speakers that allow streaming without having to be cloud-controlled. I’m afraid I’d have to make them myself.

Ahh, well, we’ll see I suppose.

Youtube has backed down a lot, but they’re still paying their golden geese.

Spiffing britt has let a new recent video payouts out of the bag, a good multi-million hit view video still nets him around 20k.

I don’t love Ubuntu as a desktop, but i’ll fight to let other people try it and make up their own minds.

We have rather substantial tribe mind going on with anti AI, linux distros that suck, and which browsers are awful.

We’ve had hivemind since forever, but it’s starting to get more pronounced.

Connecting to it isn’t hard, But they won’t be able to pay people, so the US content will just get starved out.
