- Comment on How long do you think we'll keep seeing "formerly Twitter"? 3 weeks ago:
Seriously though, what is x.com and the x app? I just followed the link to google play and it seems’ish like it’s just the twitter microblog, but I’m seeing things mentioned that I didn’t think are part of twitter. I’ve never used twitter or any x products, so I’m actually in the dark.
- Comment on How long do you think we'll keep seeing "formerly Twitter"? 3 weeks ago:
I’m pretty sure that “x, formerly known as twitter” is the name of the company. So… forever.

Honestly never had a clue. Thanks for the share.

Sounds like something a bot would ask. 🤔
- Comment on Apple, SpaceX, Microsoft return-to-office mandates drove senior talent away 6 months ago:
My hope is that companies would learn from the brain drain side effects in the long run. You’re absolutely right that greater profit is what drives this and it was intentional, but it is short-sighted.
The company I work for just terminated a substantial percentage of its workforce. It was done without truly understanding the effect on many programs. I’m now standing on a desert island, alone, trying to figure out how to continue satisfying a customer with nearly all the knowledge and talent to best do that stripped away. Doing the job of three people was hard enough before. Now I’m doing the job of X people, a variable I can’t even adequately quantify now. And a lot of that work is so wildly outside of my sphere of knowledge.
Decisions that these large companies are making are causing side effects that they may not feel for many years, but they will… And it won’t matter because those CEOs love accomplished everything they wanted for themselves in those first moments.
Don’t be evil. Heh.
I really do hope a few of these companies learn. I’d love to cheer for them. I’d love to contribute to their work.

Incredible resource! Thanks much. I’m looking forward to playing a bit and seeing how far I can push the hardware I currently have.

Thank you for all this! Much appreciated!

huggingface! i found it once and never could remember again who hosted all those models. thank you!
i use a different device than homelab, but now I am curious what I may be able to achieve with my syno system. it’s hw weak, so probably not a lot. but i would like to give it a go. if it’s decent, i may consider another device for the purpose.

So you are using OpenAI’s app? Do you have it integrated into your phone? What are the main features that you use (beyond asking questions like one does from their app/site)?

What are a couple of the best self hosted options? I wouldn’t mind giving it a go on my server. I may not have enough juice with what I currently run, but perhaps as a proof of concept first and then new hardware later.

I’ve no skin in the game related to this device or software. I simply don’t care. However, in terms of an AI assistant, I am curious if there is anything on the market, including this ~APK~ device, that is worth using. For someone who is privacy centric, advert avoidant, and security focused… does (or even can) such an app/tool exist?

- Comment on Queer.af mastodon instance has been shut down by the Taliban 9 months ago:
It’s certainly become normalized. And it was good to open up the TLDs for various purposes. 😊

- Comment on Queer.af mastodon instance has been shut down by the Taliban 9 months ago:
I was afraid of that. If this is common enough, i think it’s something the devs can introduce a feature for which would propagate such a change. Doubt it’s high on the totem of things to do, though.
- Comment on Queer.af mastodon instance has been shut down by the Taliban 9 months ago:
Yeah, this is most probably true.
Honestly though, I don’t even know what most of the genetic domains are that were created. It’s still deeply ingrained in me that any serious website should be using .com, .net, or .org. But… the amount of domains that were purchased just for the purpose of resale at an astronomical value has made so many of those unreachable.
There are some dot-coms that I have wanted for years which have been sitting stagnantly for more than two decades. I’d love to buy them, but there’s no way I’d pay the asking price. At least generic TLDs break that stalemate for a lot of folks.
- Comment on Queer.af mastodon instance has been shut down by the Taliban 9 months ago:
Sucks, but makes sense.
I’m surprised they even attempted to use that domain. The instance still exists and will need to be routed through a new domain. Which, again sucks, because any reference links will be broken now… which… again… has me wondering why they even went with that domain in the first place.
🤷🏽♂️

I vaguely remember what you’re referring to and being pretty frustrated about it. I can’t remember exactly what changed regarding clicking an emailed link. I simply don’t experience that any longer. Either Amazon stopped or I changed some setting somewhere that I’m not recalling off hand… 😬
Currently, I have calibre-web (and the windows client) set to use my email’s SMTP credentials. I then set the “sender” to an Amazon approved email. In my case, the email isn’t actually real. I just use a forwarder.
Make sure you add that sender email to the Amazon personal document approved email list.
The most recent bump I’ve had with Amazon is that they no longer accept mobi files. It’s no big deal though since they accept epubs without an issue.

Thanks for this! I forwarded it on to a few little ones who I know really enjoy the show. 😊

Awesome! I’ve been traveling a lot and I guess I missed this!
- Comment on Fan made “Star Trek: Prodigy” Netflix Poster 11 months ago:
Last I heard, Paramount ditched the show. And I just confirmed it’s no longer on their service.
Is Netflix really going to be showing Prodigy again or was that just added for fun?

That was fun, to thanks!
