  • Shower thoughts in the shower? Hmm...

  • Already setup! I think the first thing I want to do is setup retrieval augmented generation. Several of my hobby ideas will require it I think. Started trying to read up on it a couple days ago and I had a serious lack of focus going on.

    I've been kind of hoping to come across a super simple way to implement it, but haven't exactly looked much yet.

  • Cool! I'll subscribe. I've got about a dozen projects I'd like to build with Ollama, if I'll get the motivation and free time who knows?

  • Exactly. The algorithm is literally designed to stop people from thinking about what they actually care about. Of course that has caused deterioration of every aspect of human society to some degree.

  • The algorithm(s) and "For You" pages I think have done more damage to my ideal internet than anything else ever has.

    I have a feeling that someday in the future we'll also see that the algorithm was also responsible for damage to the human mind and society as well.

  • Yes, it's Linux.

  • Wow, I haven't seen that in like two decades!

  • “What I can tell, however, is that hating on the tech itself distracts people from blaming those actually responsible, the humans doing the enshittification. The billionaires, dictators...”

    That's something I've been trying to convince people of that I converse with about LLMs and similar generative technology. I've met so many people that just throw a big blanket of hate right over the entire concept of the technology and I just find it so bizarre. Criticize the people and corporations using the tech irresponsibly! It's like a mass redirection of what and who is really to blame. Which I think is partially because "AI" is something that sort of anthropomorphizes itself to a large portion of society and most people think the "personality within" the technology is responsible for the perceived misdeeds.

    I figure when all is said and done and historians and researchers look back on this time, there will be a lot to learn about human behavior that we likely have little grasp of at the moment.

  • If more people on this planet would make these considerations we would all be so much better for it.

  • I'd like to see more posts like this honestly, I know reading these things aren't for everyone, but having the actual document and (hopefully) the discussion of it is exactly how I'd like to be getting my news and information these days. I'm tired of our filtered world.

    Some serious judicial indictment of the federal government to be found in there regarding the disregard of the constitution.

    “The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order."

    Yeah.

  • Yup, I have to repeat Hanlon's Razor daily, it's sort of become a mantra.

  • Could this whole situation really be as simple as the largest scale "pump-and-dump" ever?

  • It is absolutely baffling that people don't realize that people are the product. I've had some folks tell me that they understand and "don't care" because the service is "free" or whatever, but then they get angry and freaked out when the platform knows exactly what they're thinking, or at least seems to know.

    There's definitely a deficit in understanding and education on what corporate social media really does.

  • My partner and I have been ogling much of their wares for the last year or so. I could easily spend $3,000 on the website (you know, if I had $3,000 to blow on clothes).

  • I don't have any suggestions, but I'm curious what "design and development" flaws you see as major blockers with Lemmy?

  • I hope every subsequent rally has even more people!

  • Don't let yourself fall for the lie that the party is eternal.

    Exactly. More people need to let go of the idea that the people cannot affect massive change like this. Of course change will never happen if you don't believe it's possible.

  • I had forgotten about doing that myself. I did that on a couple servers once the distros had full 64 bit builds. Does that technically count as an architecture swap in-place as well?

  • “Medium: Same as easy but go from the derivative to the base.”

    I can't quite recall, but I think I did exactly that with Ubuntu -> Debian once upon a time. I think Ubuntu was only a year or so old though, so there wasn't a huge amount of divergence back then. As a bonus anecdote I also attempted a semi-successful build of Gentoo on a PPC Mac around the same time (nothing before or after that has compared in its level of nightmare).
