Hi! I like local cons & burns, old ("retro") nerdery, and praxis over zingers. I post not-too-private bits of my life, actionable politics and Dropout.TV shit. I follow friends and block strangers who don't introduce themselves. No offense, just say hi!

LLM AI can DIAF, don't act like a bot <3

I laughed quite a lot at this episode. Vampire stories that don't take themselves seriously are pretty great.

It's a busy weekend but I'm hoping to find time to figure out my PiHole's problems (IPv6, maybe?) and finally build a charging station for my workshop.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Pam Bondi out and replaced with an even bigger Trump loyalist that's more militant about covering up the Epstein Files.

I'll save adding a media center to the repurposed old desktop, later, so this is a little more utilitarian pi usage.

Okay, now that my Raspberry Pi 4 is assembled and cased (thanks 3d printing), it's time to set it up on the network with PiHole and Unbound.

However I suspect that won't take up much processing power, relatively - I wonder if I should add something else to it.

If you have a pi, what would you do?

The EU will send much needed aid to Cuba, directly defying the increasingly hostile United States.

It’s actually possible to write headlines that don’t obscure who did what. Thanks, AP.

WTF @jay.bsky.team . Can we not have one space not utterly ruined by the obsession with AI? We are here to interact with humans.

Genuinely distressed.

This video, the "L.O.S.E.R." rap video Ir*n produced, is the sickest burn, from start to end. If he ever catches sight of it while binge-watching TV, he will no doubt vomit and foam.

I'm not linking to generative AI video, but this is the wildest and most effective propaganda I've seen in years.

after much deliberation and giving AI the benefit of the doubt, Wikipedia editors have had enough of AI slop. New policy bans LLM generated content, periodt www.404media.co/wikipedia-bans-ai-generated-content/

I don't care who decides that's performative - I'm not doing it for you. I'm doing it for my friends who can't use a fucking public toilet in a number of states without risking either assault or arrest.

I bought each of the HP hardcover books, I was at the midnight releases for a few.

I won't be buying anything JK will profit from again. I won't watch the trailer or speculate on what will happen. I washed my hands of her and I will be pleased if she never gets a dime from my eyes or ears again.

Well, I am slowly making my way through the various error messages in my first make command because Linux doesn't include or automatically install required headers just because you use make. dwarf.h isn't found even after installing it. So I'm taking a break.

I'm sure that there is a strong correlation between men who believe in strict gender roles and loneliness. Other than during COVID isolation times (like everyone), I've not wanted for intimate platonic friendships. If you can't -be- vulnerable, no one will be vulnerable with you.

Will it just be that one day there will be a sys files update in the COSMIC store and after it'll be tinny again until I repatch (presuming the patch still hasn't been merged)?

(Don't worry, I have a couple Timeshift backups).

(patch is here, it's for Lenovo Legions: github.com/nadimkobeissi/16iax10h-linux-sound-saga)

Okay, linux heads, help me wrap my heads around this. I'm running Pop! OS, and it's 99% cool. Audio is tinny through the laptop speakers, there is a kernel patch to fix. Pop is on 6.18.7 presently. If I patch it now vs wait for it, what happens when Pop picks another kernel?

The point is to record what's happening in your area before the data center is active to provide that info to regulators or lawyers who can compare it with active data center sounds.

Have folks watched @bennjordan.bsky.social 's vid on data centers?

I love a project that has an action item. His is that folks worried about new data center impact near them, especially the impact of below-hearing infrasound, should set up a Raspberry Shake to get control data. raspberryshake.org/

There is an issue when it comes to TikTok's ability to communicate with transparency, consistency, and how they choose to treat their creators when something goes wrong.

If you’re a VTuber, editor, animator, or content creator, I’d pay attention to this.
