Oh, it could be. I don’t use any online or offline AI tools. I’ve played around with Lumo (from Proton) when it first released bc its/was Mistral for privacy, and work tries to get people on board with AI usage (Copilot).

Isn’t ollama made by Meta?

Where Midas’ touch was gold, Trump’s is turning to shit!

Whatever happened to cloud streaming using your own goddamn console?!

Depends. You didn’t share if it’s DDR4 or DDR5. I believe 11-14th gen supported both, depending on your motherboard, so the cost will vary. DDR4 is still cheaper, so much more worth buying more.

Edit: oh yeah, and you need to buy additional RAM that matches your current speed, otherwise you can degrade performance. Like 3200MHz or 5600MHz, etc.

Just open source the code, that’s the best way to help validate the systems used. Though, no telling if they’d be modified, update/patched, or using a compromised fork, so who knows…

Nice. I similarly am deScroogled 😎 feels good, right? LineageOS gang!

But I’m concerned that it will be ruined by FUTO someday.

The way of Plex, maybe? Maybe it’d be forked if that ever happened. Idk.

Haha, thank GOD it’s not about saving money!

It’s the principal of the matter. Plus, my data, my decisions, my control & ability to easily manage, my privacy, my ability to swap platforms, my managing costs without surprise subscription increases or ToS I won’t read, and my learning of new systems, software, code, etc. OH and my ability to say FUCK YOU to big tech.

There’s way more benefit than convenience of “cloud”.

Isn’t FUTO stuff already FOSS? they make Immich, FUTO offline keyboard, etc.

Trump acts like he’s Napoleon.

1. “Controls Elon” with communications via Starlink, hurting those who’d need communications most
2. Controls information on one of the largest news platforms (FB) via Meta and Zuck
3. Influences AI algorithms to only say nice things about himself and his presidency
4. Fear mongers and tries to manipulate other countries into submission via threats of violence, tariffs, or other trade tactics to hurt them

When is someone or some dept going to step in to defend the country from threats, both “foreign and domestic”?

My guess is they’re trying to take it one step further than the fediverse, still be centralized, still monetize content which they then get a slice of.

Exactly this! MiB and MB were used interchangeably 30+years ago and MB stuck probably because if was easier to say and remember. Plus, 1000 bytes vs 1024 bytes wasn’t a big difference, same with 1,000KB vs 1,024KB. I recall Windows XP seeing my 16GB flash drive as 14.5GB. Now my 16TB drives are “14.5TB”.

Fuck AI, they (gen alpha) have no interest because they’re smart enough to know it’s replacing them. It’s NOT smart (LLMs), and anyone who thinks AI is intelligent is a fucking idiot!

Not that I want to float ideas, but Zuck & Bezos have tried to get into the gaming space before.

I will sell every Xbox I have, and figure out a way to sell my 17-18yo gamer profile, 60k+ gamerscore, and 300+digital game library on eBay if one of those assholes buys the brand!

Sure, but I think my wife would be upset!

I’m sure “randomly”, people who submit tips about Trump & Co will randomly be tax audited, watched social media, unmarked vans in the neighborhoods, arrested for fake claims or incidents to tie them up in litigation, etc… This is an easy way to call out anyone who opposes them! It’s a honeypot in other words.

Probably far better on battery this way, too! F-Droid never shows up in my top battery use like Play store used to. My 6GB RAM phone on Lineage is awesomely fast and has a 4-5 day battery!

I used it for AOL/AIM. back then it was “lots of love” so when it started changing and used in texts I was confused, lol 🤔
