commenting to remind myself about syncthing for when I can look into it later.

yeah, this is actually completely unacceptable default behavior, and I’ve been unable to find a setting to change it. I’m on a metered data connection, so the video buffering without me interacting with it first is literally costing me money. I went straight to the comments to avoid this.

it’s ok, because now everyone is having a good time!

and yet all those “use eu tech” charts always recommend proton products

yeah, in current year, three of them would be screaming “holy shit, three liberals!”

I bet you’re right, but the fact that I never see it is a feature worth paying for, especially for a smooth-brain like myself.

It’s a sad time when the onion cannot compete with actual real news.

The solution is to provide housing, and whatever else help they need.

but then people who struggled to own a home would throw a fit about it, without connecting the dots on how they too were screwed over. They should receive help too.

Tax the rich, and there will be more than plenty resources to do this.

Empathy is a skill.

I would prefer to run my ais locally, but my brain glazes over if I see github. I found a a program called “gpt4all”, but it’s very limited in what models it can run, and what I could get just wasn’t as good for my use case as openai’s 4o model. Also, being able to generate images in the same conversation as text work is a feature that I’m fairly certain no other ai model can do (yet).

I pick my battles.

If I took a hard stance of not engaging with any business that did things I morally object to, I’d be forced to be a self-sufficient hermit in the woods.

once again, i am at odds with lemmy’s definition of “liberal”.

it’s easier if there’s plausible deniability.

I say this as someone who frequently uses generative ai, and actively chooses to pay for the service.

Fuck openai.

This company has utterly failed to fulfill their mission statement, and they will be unable to make right by humanity until ALL software they have created is available to the public as FOSS (free and open source software). Openai claimed that this is exactly what they were going to do, and then they just didn’t. So fuckem.

eventually, imma have to actually look into lemmy front ends or clients. I stand by the statement that I shouldn’t have to, but I’ll prolly have a better time of things if I did.

All emails get automatically forwarded to the IT department, for “suspected phishing”. If it is from a known internal source, especially so.

if someone says linux is hard to learn, that person isn’t making regestry edits.

That said, windows used to be intuitive, but they peaked with xp and it’s been a downhill slide since.

a display of their choices.

someone else linked one called “shreddit”. haven’t really looked at it yet

Of course not, but can you say that it’s not convenient for them to stiffle foss alternatives to microsoft/apple/google software? many open source projects are at least partially made by russian developers.
