you’re right. More like discussing with an Alzheimer’s addled brain being coerced into a particular set of vocabulary.

I keep saying that those llm peddlers are selling us a brain, when at most they only deliver Wernicke’s + Broca’s area of a brain.
Sure, they are necessary for a human like brain, but it’s only 10% of the job done my guys.

I think I did, but nothing that a resync didn’t fix.
- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 2 weeks ago:
Installed Mint last week. I already ported most of my personal stuff there ; as a user of FOSS software, it was a breeze. Still dual booting Windows because of work, but I’ll start trying to see if I can get the required tools to work on there too.
For now, my biggest issue was that connecting my Bluetooth headphones to both Linux and Windows was fucky but, lo and behold, there was a guide online that told me exactly how to make sure both OS had the same one.
It’s not a painless experience yet, but it’s way less painful than what it was running Win95 back then. And it feels so good to finally flip Microsoft the bird.

I was wondering about the source for this figure. For the curious, it comes from a private report from an independent consulting firm called MacroStrategy Partnership. I found this article talking about it, dated 2025-10-3.
- Comment on Male Mar-a-Lago face 4 weeks ago:
There is something humorous about the fact that they give this description
a plastic surgery and fashion trend among American conservative and Republican women […]
And later gives this list
Notable public figures described as having the Mar-a-Lago face include First Lady Melania Trump, Matt Gaetz, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Kristi Noem, and Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump.
There is a good joke to be made about Matt Gaetz being the only “man” in it, but I fail to find the words that safely makes it feel acceptable, so I’ll just point it out and assume that lout probably had choice words about the importance of “masculinity” or some such.

Who cares about productivity. You’ve reclaimed your time, and napping is probably better for you than whatever you were getting from Reddit.

yeah I don’t really think what I’ve written above is coming. I just expect nothing less from that class than to turn a solution into a new problem. Should have been more explicit about that.

"So, I don’t get why you people keep complaining. This is a green technology! Why are you so mad we’ve been evaporating the oceans at a speed to keep up with the demand for sodium? As if this is what has been causing all these new hurricanes and flood!"

oh yeah most definitely and I agree. My real serious positions are :
- Tax billionaires
- let’s create more common services for shit everybody needs (housing, food, insurance, etc)
- start setting up universal basic income for the rest
My previous comment was more of a way to commiserate about those services than offering the advice that This Is The Way.

I mean, some ideologies in the TESCREAL bundle kinda are barreling toward that. What is the ideology behind Roko’s Basilisk of not that? They just aren’t organized yet - and I hope we can help those who fall for that lunacy before it becomes something more dangerous and sinister.

I once deleted the whole production kubernetes environment trying to fix an update to prod give awry, at11pm. My saving grace was that our systems are barely used between 10pm-8am, and I managed to teach myself by reading enough docs and stack overflow comments to rebuild it and fix the initial mistake before 5am. Never learned how to correctly use a piece of stack that quickly before or since.

I use Symfonium and an easily happy with it, if it helps. Not foss - you have a one time fee (aka buying - not a subscription), however. I found it worth it, and use it in conjunction with a Navidrome instance.

Thinking it’s only about the LLMs is pretty reductive, though I guess it makes for an easily digestible statement.
We don’t ask people to be mad about the tool, it’s about how we’re being told The Tool is the most important human endeavor, while the mass usage of The Tool has yet to prove more worthwhile than having a chat with a friend, all the while we create a lot of ethical, ecological and economical debt in order to keep evolving The Tool, and funneling most of the products of that debt into the hands of people who already have more than enough.
So The Tool as of yet has had way more negative direct and side effects, both by its use and its development, than any projected positive outcomes that comes out of the mass deployment and usage of The Tool.
This is what - to me, one of the Luddite who would rather stop this cancer from growing - we are mad about, and why, given the scale of things at this moment and what is projected, think people should be more in the know of the revolting realities that are not said in all those nice press releases and consumer expos.

“Lemmy really hates it when a corporation murders people, yet they never say anything about individuals who kill in legitimate defense of themselves”
That’s pretty much how you sound, buddy.
If the AI created was really useful and made open to all freely, a different song would be sung, you know.
Right now, it is simply as useful as putting gas on a fire to extinguish it.

I got this curse, though it only doubles a letter, not nine-tuples it. The biggest curse, is that the only cure I found when the curse starts, it is to remove the keyboard drivers and let Windows (ugh, I know) reinstall them. Here’s the keyboard drivers I’m presented with each timee : (double e left in for good measure) Device Manager (Win 11), 7 HID Keyboard Devices, no way to figure out what is what

Not to say you’re wrong (I seriously have no clue), but how many people in Japan use Capital One / AmEx tho? They might not put their nose where there’s no volume either. For what it’s worth, AmEx is often not accepted. I wonder if it is the same over there?

Just to make sure, your issue is :
But I cannot access audiobookshelf.local.com or audiobookshelf.local.com (it automatically forwards to HTTPS). If so, well, you’re forcing SSL, which means it’ll automatically transmit http request to https. If you don’t want that, turn it off. Anyway, it’s going to be used only locally, correct?
