Microsoft services lowered to half-mast in respect of Jensen's ouster

Is there a #reticulum firmware like RNode that has a built in propagation node? And is not vibe-coded?

Ideally, I'd like some subset of nomadnet functionality (propagation node, router, single/ small number of static page) that doesn't need to be connected to something running python or a Wi-Fi network.

Maybe that's too much to ask of an esp32? Though some existing projects suggest it should be possible.

I feel like one of the barriers to mesh coverage is that the options for "standalone solar thing you stick someplace high" are limited.

Hrmm... AtomVM would be a neat choice here if not for the existing libraries all being C....

I'll be curious to see what the actual breakdown is: most of the community voting for limited AI options is a positive sign. If however it seems like there's an overwhelmingly large pro ai contingent... Sigh.

I just read a comment that was such a noncon "you can't avoid it" and "super intelligence will be at the edge any day now bro" and I threw up in my mouth a little

So I guess Debian went the most moderate route. Which... Obviously I would have preferred something more forceful but the more I think about it the more I'm wondering if maybe this is ok. Provided the community does it's due diligence.

From my reading of proposal E, is basically "use whatever tools you want but we're not relaxing our standard for it"
It's entirely possible that slop will quickly get rejected and its authors distrusted.

Unfortunately, it also means there's unlikely to be enough weight and momentum (resources) to sustain (yet) a truly genAI free fork.

Lol branding of moderates as some "mystery other option" when it's literally the status quo.

So basically since the last election I have spent some time every week meditating
The way I've been meditating sometimes involves channeling something nagging at me by making music. Every track and album is the result of one or more of those meditation sessions that get grouped together.

This is the reason these tracks all exist. It's also why there's a lot of variance in quality. I don't really hold any back, sometimes they evolve into something more sometimes they just are what they are.

Stop putting accessibility features behind a paywall

Stop means testing public services

Stop making thriving a premium experience

Start taxing billionaires

Can one state unilaterally seize the territory of another?

Asking for NM and IL

I guess one of our neighbors got a fancy IoT Samsung Oven because it is... advertising itself on bt

IMO the federal government is in many ways moribund, the people with actual power either acting in complete bad faith and against the interests of the people or utterly failing to meet the moment and stop those that are.

As I've heard "the US is giving dying mall vibes"

Going forward there needs to be a defined way for the people to reset the Fed by way of a no confidence vote. A way to, as can be done elsewhere, dissolve either house, Senate, or executive and hold snap elections in the face of overwhelming incompetence, seditious and treasonous power grabs, rampant corruption.... Or like right now, all of the above.

JFC Marc Benioff proving once again that the existence of billionaires is an indicator of a system failure. Tax them into non-existence.

Tldr, joked about ICE in a keynote including international employees who have real, grounded fear of interactions with DHS.

Just fuck these people are so repugnant and we let them continue to be

This might be a bit of a spicy take but I get pissed when I see some news about a someone that's "resigned in disagreement" rn. (I mean I realize there could be some difficult choices for sure and in some cases it might be truely unavoidable but....)
It seems like they are completely not understanding and squandering their privilege.

Use that position to do the fucking work, not leave an opening for someone that won't.

So the app I use for vocabulary training (DuoCards) has a bunch of iconography it uses when you make flash cards if you don't provide your own image. Anyway, sometimes it picks one that's unintentionally helpful for remembering.

Can we finally retire the myth that "but people love their insurance!" And that people don't want *these crazy leftist ideas like billionaires are a moral failure*??

If anything the past week has shown us that despite people like Shapiro and the media, and other establishment figures ratcheting us to fascism, *the people*, both red and blue, generally actually empathize with and agree that there are, in fact some issues with our unregulated capitalist nightmare

We should bring back referring to online services on the Internet collectively as "the net" like in the late 90s.

"I saw this post on The Net this morning..."

"Oh I bought it on The Net"

#introduction ? Umm I'm a middle aged cis gay man. I am very boring. Occasionally I play with old tech. My garage has multiple rs232 drops. I wear fierce eyeshadow for c-level meetings. Sometimes I build things and sometimes they summon long slumbering eldritch horrors (especially true on 32-bit sparc).

Some more #intriduction info: I'm in an open #polyamorous relationship. I live with my partner, our boyfriend and our dog, who is named beefy, which is short for Beef Wellington. He's a velvet hippo (American bully) and the bestest boy. My favorite computer is a Sparc LX because it got me into #Retrocompting but my microVAX II is a close second. I am #pierced in many places and have quite a bit of ink. My #tatts are all themed to the convergence of nature and technology.

I didn't realize how useful hashtags are for interests / about so here are things that tickle my brainstuff: #Retrocompting #amtrak #DigitalEquipmentCorporation #sun4c #sun4m #kerbalspaceprogram #bodyart #tattoes #piercings #rfidImplants #transhumanism #futurism #africanfuturism #robotics #localizationAndMapping #graphicdesign #hairyguys #genderfuck #liquidRocketPropellants #erlang #elixir #distributedsystems #EnterpriseArchitecture #togaf #iso42010 #iso3533

ربما من فكرة جيدة #اقدم نفسي باللغة العربية! انا موظف في علوم الحاسوب واحب التعلم شيء جديد. أحب #الحاسبات، #الرياضيات، #فيزياء، و #الخيالالعلي وشياء مثل هذا.

I am making a conscious effort to NOT do what I did elsewhere and "keep things professional" I'm bringing my whole self here including the decidedly non professional stuff. I will make every attempt to use hashtags and cws to give you the ability to filter, but if you're not good with all that (there will be porn, weird shit, and also geeky techy stuff) then don't follow.
