  If you’re fortunate enough to live near a well-funded library, you can peruse their new arrivals section for CDs. That’s how I discover new artists

  I’m hoping this takes off!

  Do you plan to offer a browser extension for those who would enjoy the Fediverse integration but don’t want to run a custom fork?

  I also experienced screen tearing on every Pebble unit I owned. If they fix this, I’ll absolutely buy a new one

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Executive Order:AI must agree on the Administration views on Sex,Race, cant mention what they deem to be Critical Race Theory,Unconscious Bias,Intersectionality,Systemic Racism or "Transgenderism⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So the administration wants to win the AI race through deregulation, except they want to regulate its social compass. Make it make sense

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Immich Flatpak⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My understanding is that Flatpaks are generally reserved for GUI applications and not command-line tools or servers. I’m not sure it’s the ideal format for Immich.

  That said—and I’m probably going to get hate for this—there is an Immich snap package that does just what you’re looking for.

  Their point about the streets may actually be valid. I don’t know anything about the roads in China, but many European cities are notoriously hostile to automobiles.

  Unfortunately, online gaming spaces seem to have always been a breeding ground for all kinds of toxic behavior

  Yeah… I won’t even lie, I think at some point it’s for the best we hand the keys to society to the machines. Maybe not the current generation, but eventually 😂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Student visa applicants will now be forced to make their social media accounts public⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s because the morons running the country don’t think that constitutional freedoms apply to non-citizens. No freedom of speech if your speech hurts their feelings. Fuckin aye

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China New Internet ID System a Threat to Online Expression: Netizens will require IDs to go on the internet. For now this is voluntary, but there are signs it will not remain that way for long.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck that noise

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Marijuana Prevention Matters—Especially for Teens and Young Adults⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Like others have said, the key to protecting the safety of children while also protecting the freedom of grown adults from enjoying a recreational drug is education. That means lifting legal barriers so that we may study the plant in academic and clinical settings.

  I agree that sometimes in our effort to promote progressive legislation on cannabis, we paint a very pretty picture. But I think the risk profile is rather low. And much like with other legal recreational drugs like alcohol or tobacco, young adults need good mentors to equip them with the information and resources to explore responsibly. Because they will explore.

  On my Mac mini running LM Studio, it managed 1702 tokens at 17.19 tok/sec and thought for 1 minute

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DeepSeek's distilled new R1 AI model can run on a single GPU | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  the Chinese AI lab also released a smaller, “distilled” version of its new R1, DeepSeek-R1-0528-Qwen3-8B, that DeepSeek claims beats comparably sized models on certain benchmarks

  Most models come in 1B, 7-8B, 12-14B, and 27+B parameter variants. According to the docs, they benchmarked the 8B model using an NVIDIA H20 (96 GB VRAM) and got between 144-1198 tokens/sec. Most consumer GPUs probably aren’t going to be able to keep up with

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anthropic's Claude 4 could "blackmail" you in extreme situations⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  On one hand, it’s inane how hard Anthropic is trying to anthropomorphize Claude with these experiments and scenarios. It’s still just a chatbot. On the other hand, as these products inch closer to demonstrating true intelligence, we’ll be glad someone was at least thinking about the implications during the early stages of development.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In 2025, Apple still makes it hard to play your own MP3s, so I wrote my own app⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can easily sync your personal music collection to your iOS device using the macOS “Music” app in tandem with the Finder, or using iTunes on Windows. I’ve not explored the options on Linux, but I suspect they’re out there.

  I’ve got a personal collection that’s growing steadily, mostly from CDs and digital purchases. I do not use steaming services, and my iPhone is my primarily listening device.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am generally opposed to the integration of generative AI in consumer hardware, since it doesn’t have much practical utility at this point.

  However, the features described in this article mostly have to do with extracting information from images. This is actually quite useful! For example, macOS allows users to select text and automatically mask objects from images. It’s a feature I use heavily and wish other operating systems had good support for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In a world where unfettered Internet access has completely eroded our ability to form connections with others, the solution to loneliness couldn’t possibly be anything but more screen time 🤦🏽‍♂️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“The Gang has a Mid-Life Crisis”⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Human innovation scales up quite well. Some people were lucky enough to have a say on the design of this systems that changed the world. It’s unfortunate that they let greed erode their humanity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨42 Free and Open Source Projects Receive Funding to Reclaim the Public Nature of the Internet⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. Maybe, in this fantasy world, you can port your address to different branches the same way you might transfer your phone number between carriers. My phone number area code reflects where I lived when I got my first phone. It does not correspond with where I currently live. The same could be true of email addresses in this scenario.

  I sometimes like to imagine a future where your local library provides email addresses to card holders

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump prepares to change US CHIPS Act conditions, sources say⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What this administration fails to understand is that the USA currently lacks the workforce to be self-sufficient in semiconductors. Cutting off the supply of chips via tariffs and constricting federal funds to foundries isn’t going to magically make the country a semiconductor powerhouse. We’ve got the capability to build fabrication sites, sure. What we need is a workforce—people with graduate degrees in electrical and computer engineering. And that’s going to take time. This whole ordeal is sloppy and embarrassing
