I run Mistral on GrapheneOS without Play services.

Also every worker at foxconn etc has a shitload of cameras on them to train the models.

Creating clodpieces

Almost makes me regret having bought a maxed out version about a year ago. Just kidding, I’ll probably upgrade the trackpad, but apart from that it’s the best laptop I ever owned. Sad that you have to swap the whole input cover but it makes the swap easier, it’s just 5 screws.

I will buy that machine though when ARM takes off. Until that, battery improvements from introducing even lower power cores and bigger batteries does just seem like a quick fix to keep x86 alive.

I’ve started doing podman quadlets recently, and the ini config style is ugly as hell compared to yaml (even lol) in docker compose. The benefits outweigh that though imho.

I’m not familiar with Nova launcher, it seems to have some USPs to it.

But these days I always recommend Lawnchair. It’s built on top of the Pixel launcher, which in itself is a very good launcher IMHO, and refines it to be more customizable.

Although I absolutely understand that the common folk will have a hard time downloading porn in the CLI.

You will own nothing and be happy.

Yes and no. I have enjoyed reading through this approach, but it seems like a slippery slope from this to “vibe knowledge” where LLMs are used for actually trying to add / infer information.

mstsc.exe was exactly the one I used. I vaguely remember that I had used that successfully some years ago (in a much bigger environment with proper certs) and it worked.

Regarding NLA: I believe that I would have to disable that on purpose no? It was on a very vanilla Windows 11 install. I just looked and regarding any other settings than the ones listed in mstsc.exe, I get told that Windows 11 Home edition doesn’t support RDP lol.

I recently used the old Windows RDP client they refer to. I tried to connect to a Windows VM and it didn’t work. Had to pull out some old log utility tool and filter a while to recognize the server didn’t use a valid TLS certificate (lives inside a VPN) and the handshake failed. Tried disabling cert validation (although I’m not sure if that one obfuscated option did exactly that), still no luck.

I then tried KRDP in KDE. It asked me if I’m sure I wanted to connect since the cert is self signed. It even showed me the cert info and I know the issuer in person. I accepted and got in. Easy as that.

Says / asks an article in a media spin-off created by a big fintech company, which has been funded by, among others, Peter Thiel by a big digital finance publisher / SaaS and advertising company with a history of not disclosing their investors, probably laying off people and heavily investing in AI themselves.

Yes, the tech sector is in a harsh condition, but we will go on. Don’t let the AI hype / lay off waves for an overhired tech workforce from covid break your minds. There will be a need for smart people building and maintaining ecosystems, as long as a rising tech oligarchy won’t gatekeep us all out, which should be the headline here.

Edit: I can’t find a link between the fintech wise and the publisher wise. I still don’t like this type of sensationalist headlines as all technology gets allegedly obsoleted every other year.

Shout out to yt-dlp, the absolute unit of software beneath lots of media scraping tools.

You can also use MPV Video player, should be able to play many URLs you throw at it.

Today I read a thread of people using the photo mode of death stranding to prove they are Norman Reedus. While this certainly won’t be the end to the story, it’s kind of funny this iteration of a clearly unfinished age verification system got out there. Makes me wonder how good they are going to protect their “customers” data.

Reminds me of enforcing the identification of all internet users for the sake of “protecting the children”.

It’s weird, the link on the front page is still there, but it leads to a 404:

From Wikipedia about NCOSE

The National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE), previously known as Morality in Media and Operation Yorkville, is an American conservative anti-pornography organization. The group has also campaigned against sex trafficking, same-sex marriage, sex shops and sex toys, decriminalization of sex work, comprehensive sex education, and various works of literature or visual arts the organization has deemed obscene, profane or indecent. […] The organization describes its goal as “exposing the links between all forms of sexual exploitation”.

Doing the lords work by fucking up (lol) any discourse about sexuality.

Of course not! I will only get organic / grass fed computers with a OS preinstalled by the vendor. They only do this to protect the users and not for the fuckton of money MS shoves into their throats.

inb4 Linux users sweepingly get declared as criminals for some flimsy reason. There was some news of Facebook filtering out Linux content because it seemed harmful to them.

Will they though? Facebook has already created undisclosed bot accounts themselves before. A Platform where real users and such bots are indistinguishable (for the user) sounds like a social media corpos and authoritarian governments wet dream to me. Also reminds me of the attempts to disguise ads as natural content.
