Yeah I got it completely wrong.
“do it again, I wasn’t looking”
Yeah I got it completely wrong.
Yeah that one’s on me. I did Google lens it, but I realized I had no hope of knowing what glyphs those were, I just assumed Japanese cause idk. But good call.
… the reading comprehension level of the average Lemmy user scares me
I literally said that I take the bus. And the shuttle.
Do people consider shuttles and buses the same thing? Because this sounds like a shuttle, which as far as I’m aware is completely different from a bus. I take a shuttle to the airport, which requires a reservation and ~$50 whereas I take a bus to get around town and it’s typically free.
Essentially it sounds like they are trying to dip into the shuttle market, not the inner-city bus market. Though maybe both?
Works fine for me on first glance, with ETP set to strict. Perhaps due to the recent domain cut-over in the web stack?
If it wasn’t obvious that the Debian box is a parody, here’s what the Japanese Chinese text along the top reads on each box:
Please read the instructions carefully and use it under the guidance of a physician. It is strictly prohibited to be used in food and feed processing.
Please read the installation instructions carefully and use it under the guidance of the administrator. It is strictly prohibited to use for server installation.
so yes, the title is correct-- this is not a coincidence, the Debian box was made explicitly for this joke
edit: thanks for the correction folks, honestly thought it looked more like Japanese than Chinese at first glance and I am obviously not an expert in either. Appreciate the call-out, very deserved.
Translation: “HELP I JUST BOUGHT THIS THING OFF AMAZON THAT’S SUPPOSED TO GIVE ME FREE TV TO DISTRACT MY KIDS BUT NOW ITS SAYING THINGS I DONT UNDERSTAND AND IM SCARED”
Also, please someone send her a L1ZY
Sadly for me it looks like I’ll need to go the DIY route with an esp32 board and an e-ink display, and drop any kind of stt + tts plans
Latte Panda 2 or just wait a couple years. It’ll happen eventually because it’s so obvious it’s literally unpatentable.

In all reality, it is a ChatGPTitty "fine"tune on some datasets they hobbled together for VQA and Android app UI driving. They did the initial test finetune, then apparently the CEO or whatever was drooling over it and said “lEt’S mAkE aN iOt DeViCe GuYs!!1!” after their paltry attempt to racketeer an NFT metaverse game.
Neither this nor Humane do any AI computation on device. It would be a stretch to say there’s even a possibility that the speech recognition could be client-side, as they are always-connected devices that are even more useless without Internet than they already are with.
Make no mistake: these money-hungry fucks are only selling you food cans labelled as magic beans. You have been warned and if you expect anything less from them then you only have your own dumbass to blame for trusting Silicon Valley.
Just give up hope. It’s really not worth it.
I loved Pop!_OS as it made Debian/Ubuntu extremely usable as a daily driver. Finally I got fed up with outdated package bullshit coming from different angles and went to Rocky. Wish I did it sooner.
Appreciate System76, but they’ve dropped the ball hard and I don’t think it’s recoverable
Red Hat
No, you’re angry at IBM. When news of the IBM acquisition broke, sector veteran colleagues I’m close with moaned and groaned that IBM was sure to do something to piss everyone off again, which was apparently their habit a couple decades back. Sure enough, they could not have been more accurate in their assessment.
Turns out IBM is three hot messes in a trenchcoat and always has been. Hence why they have already lost the Quantum wars and likely the GenAI wars as well. One AI vet I know says they’re posed to even lose the AI war altogether, which is pathetic given the groundwork provided by Watson alone.
Linux is freedom, Windows is serfdom, Mac is just dumb.
“-- on second thought, now that I’ve said it aloud I realize I’ve mischaracterized the issue. I rescind my case, sorry bout that folks, not sure how I mucked that one up”
If I were to fully elaborate, I’d be typing for hours, so I’ll sum up:
--require-virtualenv
. Multiple things can fuck up your ENV to make the python binaries point to system-wide, while your terminal will still show you as in a venv. Also why TF would package metadata files need to be executable? Bad practice, -1/10From there, it’s all extremely nit-picky and paranoid-fueled-- basically, none of the package managers I mentioned are conducive, in my eyes at least, to a secure and intuitive compute environment.
Unfortunately, there’s not much I can do about it except bang pots and pans and throw maintainers under buses when the issue that has been present for years rears it’s ugly head. Because they are the only ones who can change this, and pressure is the only thing that might motivate them to.
Nix is already beyond fucked because they actively dismiss the need for appropriate security measures to prevent supply chain attacks. There were multiple discussions about this over the years that appear to have succumbed to neglect.
I wouldn’t trust nix, just like I don’t trust pip, brew, or a whole plethora of other package managers and repositories. They are just too neglectful
Mmmmmm some of the models on CivitAI, with the right workflows, could effectively create the most versatile “deep fakes” possible. You can put someone’s face on a blank canvas and tell a model specifically trained for realistic pornography to paint a whole scene around the face. The only advantage here is that doing that is kinda pointless when you can just generate any random face to match your specifications. So ultimately much less harmful so long as the user isn’t obsessing over representing a distinct living person.
Also, these are primarily still images. Some animation models exist, but that process is a lot more hit-and-miss. Overall though, I’d argue this whole use case is significantly less damaging than deep fakes due to principals.
This deserves a ban imo
Yeah and that makes sense. But I still choose to die on the hill of tabs or nothing. That’s just how anal I am about my code.
And I realize there are niche scenarios where tabs don’t make sense, but I could care less about those. Afaik, even assemblers support tabs. If you have tabs, I feel it is almost sacrilegious not to use them for indentation.
Yeah I liked him better then /s
