in context of Android phone it is freedom. Linux phones are whole 'nother game altogether

freedom just got a pricetag… and it’s effin’ steep

consider yourself lucky then

like leading us the wrong way. Or completely ignoring existence oh our house.

truth is OSM has proven to be more accurate in areas I frequent vs Gmaps. We’ve got into multiple “situations” because of Gmaps

You’ve made a few of erroneous conjectures which are orthogonal to my argument. But I’ll call out one: LLM is bad at code completion and it’s use not have to be limited to (final) code writing. Thus my theses on “what” vs “how”

Exactly. Deeds need to be called out, but labels dropped I guess, because labels tend to change meaning over time ( “gay” would be an interesting example)

IMO it’s the same situation as with POTUS45 and POTUS47 elections. Not talking about twisted facts and criminal behaviour would be to condone it and speaking out creates publicity.

Word fascism got (intentionally)overloaded over the last decade and means very little to a lot of people, reducing it to equivalent of “jerk” rather than evoke memories and feelings towards atrocities of WWII etc. So we need a better language 'cause when we call someone fascist today many tune out.

All of this is to say that I see nothing wrong with contents of the article but I suspect it has very little of desired effect due to the above. There must be a better way, but at the moment I do not know what is it.

It applies as Omarchy is targeting agentic workflows

OSS projects have already started to recognize that LLM is just a tool and how you use that tool matters a lot more than whether you are using said tool at all. Lets bring StackOverflow for analogy: we didn’t ban browsers for code development because one can navigate to StackOverflow and copy-paste some really crappy code. LLMs are SO on steroids (actually trained on SO topics). So grabbing LLM to get a sense of direction or shape is an OK use in general, but copy-pasting it’s results blindly is silly and dangerous.

There’s a second argument that AI is ruining OSS communities which I believe is true, but refusing to accept AI code is a self-defeating action. Why? Because AI training needs unadulterated source of knowledge, one not tainted with AI and OSS communities rejecting AI would be that source. Also: if OSS community did not use AI it would hardly stop it from continuing it’s growth in Enterprise. So there’s not much of a winning strategy there either.

Which brings us to GrapheneOS decision and given above reasons I think it’s a well-balanced decision.

thank you folks. Your input gives me a decent starting point. I’ll start digging based on info/experiences shared, maybe I can find someone locally selling old GPU with enough ram for cheap

well, I intend on scavenging for parts as I can’t really afford today’s prices. And since I don’t really know what should I grab as minimum specs I don’t even know what to look for. I could try to look for old(er) gaming rigs people sell or maybe there are some business workstations that may be sold in bulk. Either way, knowing what’s the minimum viable set of specs for running qwen or claude locally would be helpful

I’ve got some circa 2010 cards laying about with a 32Gb server that already has 8Gb carved out for TrueNAS, so essentially I could squeeze 16-24Gb out of it, but it’s an older i5 Intel CPU

that probably goes along with that $20M zuck offered to AI professionals. Yeah, we’ll pay you $20M a year, you’ll be spent around 6mon into the job your productivity will be 60% so… (taps calculator) we get f#ck all for a sh%t ton of money and destroy people… letsdoit!

incorrect assessment: unions will gladly collaborate with 3rd party corps if it benefits them. Also unions protect interests of their members, not entire humanity…

they will be integrating it on service side if I read it correctly so the choice of client would be non-important

from recent reports there’s a bunch of Canadian billionaires backing the effort, hoping for DOGE style purge of governmenr

yes, but this time it will be properly dismissed as “fake news”

we’ve got pineWatch so why not pebble? PineWatch is OK but it’s.not pebble. It was an amazing low tech that was actually extremely useful

My opinion is that of the two Postres is more “adult”. So if you want to"just wing it" MariaDB would work, but if you’re serious Postgres is a better choice. However Postgres also requires better understanding of you setup etc. So it’s a ROI game - what’s more important to your project, how complex your DB is, what are the requirements for availability, transaction security etc. There is no “better” or “worse” there’s “feasible” and “prohibitive” 😉
