I need friends but I'm too shy to go out and touch grass.
Why must this happen when I was planned to go to the Oktoberfest :(

Very interesting how an #Perplexity, an AI search engine I pay for, has copious amounts of Pixel #trackers and Trace Contexts with some code alluding to advertised sources 🤔

Platform user analytics are standard stuff, but this seems sus...

I guess it's obvious, but I just noticed how much my #Meta Quest 3 #VR headset was passively sending data to #Facebook even if it's not used.

The data schema doesn't seem that bad, but I'm wondering the purpose of constantly sending this in the background.

Finally, a functioning #selfhosted cloud infra with split-horizon and HA using SBC nodes.
All under 80w during active usage!
Now I‘m waiting for the AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 mini PC to arrive to finalize the setup.

I can‘t recommend #proxmox and #dietpi enough.

I think #proton mail and VPN is really nice. Heck, even their password manager is really cool!

But fuck #ProtonCalendar. I get that they don't support CalDAV for security reasons (same reason for not supporting SMTP or POP3).

It's messing up all of my professional scheduling and mail clients.

NGL, having your own domain makes me feel powerful

Is this even legal? I‘ve only seen this kind of crowd financing on crypto projects, not for actual equity.

I was window shopping some domains at #namecheap, and I think I found what was killing the internet. #Cloudflare has a service to block AI web scrapers, and we have the other side actively populating the web with this BS.

Has #LLM (or #SLM, in this case) gone too far?

Phi 4 thought about the entire mkdir man page and still refused to give me an answer. Energy well spent.

I just found my new home. And I’m tempted to open a PR and package Pony Diffusion so this can catch up to the market trend.

Why does a document-scanning app need my fucking personal data to train AI?

This is the worst fucking timeline. The Internet was killed by capitalism when the start was pure admiration.

LLM development is pretty dope. It’s like blockchain development, but more random and chaotic.

For the last time, we’re not interested in your dumb, generative AI “art” BS in our products.

For internal workflows, sure. But don’t touch our games!

I was not expecting a Madoka reference while I was researching libraries for my Japanese TTS text preprocessor

I thought Elon's obsession with DOGE was because of "haha funny old meme now makes billions," not fucking this Doge.

Guess my personality based on my frequently used emojis.

And share yours

If this is what the Steam Controller 2 looks like, I am so hyped for it. This can be a (literal) game-changer for my home PC gaming setup!

I recently watched Idiocracy (2006), and it was such a great movie. It’s a comedy that became a horror movie. I think everyone should watch this.

Even after thousands of years of advancements in communication tech, even with LLMs or NLPs that can transform human language into more complex outputs, a simple (digital) pen and paper get the job done when it comes to creative work.
