  I went to the Verizon store to buy an iPhone when the droid first launched, the rep said “you don’t want that phone, check this one out” and showed me the droid. So glad I didn’t get roped into that ecosystem.

  I still miss CyanogenMod dearly…

  The sentiment I keep seeing is that it’s vibe coded, though the dev claims that AI was used but not in any core components. It’s one I’ll be waiting out personally, the whole huntarr situation has me pretty skeptical of any new projects

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony develops technology to trace origin of AI-made music⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Deezer has the only accurate indicator that I know of, I use it in a program that prevents AI generated music from being added to my library

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MIT-developed 3D printer can output a fully functional electric motor in a single process⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  the device is equipped with four different extruders — a filament extruder, a pellet extruder, an ink extruder, and a heater — and outputted five different materials — dielectric, electrically conductive, soft magnetic, hard magnetic, and flexible.

  pretty impressive

  If you’re worried about breaking your computer take a look at bazzite too, it’s an immutable distro so it won’t even let you mess with important system files without really really trying. it also installs the proprietary Nvidia drivers so you don’t have to worry about that either

  are you looking at the newer version of pop os? It’s still in beta, I think you would have a better experience with mint.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For Americans, what do you really think of Latin Americans?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know some pretty stupid Americans and they know that Mexico isn’t the only Latin American country, if someone says that to you they’re probably being dumb on purpose

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hosted voice assistant with mobile app⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Home Assistant can do that, the quality will really depend on what hardware you have to run the LLM. If you only have a CPU you’ll be waiting 20 seconds for a response, which could also be pretty poor if you have to run a small quantized model

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Colorado proposing Bill to move age verification to Operating System rather than web site⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It also says the age will be acquired ‘upon login’, so I’m not sure how that would work with linux. More anti-tech old farts making the rules
