I have been raw dogging epubs from Zlibrary, Annas, and libgen for years on public WiFi, student housing, work internet, my internet the most, but you name it.

Should I not do that? Though I’m not distributing which is usually what they give a shot about

I didn’t, I hadn’t written code before that.

I use Forgejo which is either forked from or built on Gitea

Super easy to set up it was a docker container and a cloudflared tunnel.

You don’t understand. Phone screens are a lot smaller so you need less code to run them.

Have you even considered how greedy you are wanting to use up so many tokens?

Yeah you shouldn’t be game deving with a scripting language. There’s your problems!

I mentioned this in another thread, but if Linus starts acknowledging the ethical questions of where good code is coming from, things unravel fast. Microsoft is a major contributor. So are plenty of defense, oil, industrial prison complex, etc. Someone overtly evil is contributing code.

Further just the pure tech industry isn’t free from sin, Intel and AMD contribute lots to the Kernel and they certainly utilize slave or child labor at some point in chip production.

There are no good people within any part of the tech industry and yet AI is the line? Is it because that’s the worst evil in our industry or is it because this one is the most loud and inconvenient to us?

I think its really hard for something like the Linux kernel project to look at AI from an economic and environmental aspect that doesn’t start asking hard questions about Linux itself.

AI for instance runs very well on Linux and almost certainly all of these hyperscalers and compute centers are running Linux in some form.

If Linus is going to take a hard stance on economic and environmental reasons, is he also going to ban these orgs from using Linux?

I don’t really want to do too much “what about” isms because I think it would be hella based to see the defense industry, oil industry, and AI industries all get a “fuck you figure it out on your own”. I’m just saying I can completely understand why Linus might not want to play that game since his greatest concern is to simply make sure Linux is getting better.

I’m shocked Gab is still around.

I used a spam email address to subscribe to that guys mailing list and every time I use that email to sign up for something sketchy, I see he’s still sending 3-9 emails a day with rants and updates.

You’d think owning a social media would entail cryptic ranting on the platform and not a mailing list

I always wondered how these guys make it through life.

I understand its a position of authority and an air of confidence is necessary at all times, but gods damned dude

“You had a phone in your right hand”

shows a complete lack of a right hand

“…You sure you don’t have a hand?”

Don’t you see how patriotic and serious they are? They did the very patriotic and very serious walk and everything!

Damn, that’s overt.

TBH, for every day computing, I think a 10-15 year old laptop running Linux probably runs better than a current R-V board. Less efficiently probably, but in terms of responsiveness and normal measures of usefulness.

So genuinely, if you really wanted to avoid giving big tech more money there’s no real difference other than being able to say you absolutely don’t even use an x86 chip you hate big tech so much (which is based and I respect)

Personally, I think we have too much data on our own health habits.

Like it’s cool that we can record that data if needed, but smart watches, rings, and things make us track too much info for a none medical professionals. Like I, and most people I know, barely understand what our blood pressure readings mean.

Its good to be mindful of your health, but genuinely, a food journal and a poop journal would be more useful for your more immediate health and asking an LLM to process that data into trends would be easier to do and more useful for you and your doctor.
