I had a French press, loved it. But when it broke I bought an Aeropress Travel edition for $50 and I’ve had it 4 years now. Goes on long drives and camping trips. Bought a Jackery battery for my CPAP that’s strong enough to run a small kettle, and now I can make a cup while checking out a view.

Coupled it with a Timemore S3 for quick, easy and quiet grinds.

Strange. I never see that on Lineage, didn’t see it on e/OS either.

I do recall that behaviour on Graphene, but its been a couple of years since I had a pixel. Figured that was just an old version of the app.

All I can say is, https://droidify.app/

Once I installed it, I never used the official Fdroid store on any device again.

Matrix is the proper space for a privacy focused community. Discord as an application is privacy invasive and requires ID to be provided. This has nothing to do with a public community not being private. It’s the wrong technology choice for what they claim to be focused on and there is no getting around that.

I mean, see where you’re going there. Bread may be a bad example because I can get sliced bread from a local or regional producer that is more conscientious. If any billionaire is pushing me to buy sliced bread its going to be some mass produced crap like Dempsters that I would never buy anyway because I do not support corporate food where I can avoid it as I’ve lived through enough mini crises in the last 30 years to have learned the hard way that when things get tough, its the local and regional creators that keep things on the shelf.

AI however, is only good in the older forms where models were made to do one thing and do it well with reasonable levels of compute. Those were sustanable. LLMs, no matter where you run them, cost disgusting amounts of compute to train and no matter how well you train them will only evey have a statistical chance of being right, and they will never have 100% accuracy without throwing even more power at them.

And, LLMs will never reach AGI. If we want something that really mimics humans, then what we need are many tiny, efficiently trained models for specific tasks with high accuracy, and then interface between all those skills with a very accurate task comprehension model, and then maybe we will get to AGI, because this is basically how humans work.

I still maintain that LLMs are the wrong tech, at the wrong time, and the only thing their proliferation is being pushed for is their questionable capability to enable ths surveillance state we were warned against for the last 40-50 years in scifi. And the CEOs want this because people are getting more and more fwd up with their shit.

All LLMs will bring the world is misery. There is no acceptable use for them and I am sticking to that line in every product decision these days. They were built on the backs of free content that the world created and a ton of copyrighted work that was just blatantly stolen.

My thought it was over blown until I saw them claiming that anyone on Mastodon is “not a user” and them saying that any real users are on their Discord and not complaining.

Uh, OK - Discord was semi-excusable up until 2025, but at this point anyone using it to communicate with their users is certainly not considering how bad that channel is for user privacy. Im a Graphene User, I will not use Discord, and I am not going to continue to use an OS thats supporting the rapid expansion of datacenters through the use of AI.

Using tech that billionaires push makes them richer and gives them control.

Tell me how does not using their crap give them control, exactly?

Just what we needed, a little Minority Report salted into the dystopian salad of this fucking timeline.

I lost a few IQ points reading this ad.

Dear lord no.

Yeah, same. And this article is playing like thats on us.

I’ve been using Pi 4s with a lineage OS build that has the Jellyfin Android TV client on it and thats been a pretty sweet setup.

I pulled my retirement funds from the market over a year ago when the market was clearly detatching from reality. They are in a cash account earning modest interest for now.

I don’t let fools in a stupor play with my money.

At this point, to anyone surprised at this idea, I can only roll my eyes.

He was quoted, recorded on video, saying “You’ll never have to vote again.”

He told you exactly this. Morons didn’t really think about what that meant. Many of us saw it for exactly what it was.

Looks like a tree pollened all over it.

Lots of people use it, I recommend they try ifconfig.co - cleaner curl output.

You’re damned right they didn’t.

Zimaboards do not need RAM. They include it (do not confuse it with the Zimablade).

I just use the default hardware with the Zimaboards. Zimaboard 832s for the masters and nodes, and I recently added a couple of Zimaboard 2s for larger nodes as those have 16gb.

I like the boards, they perform well and the intel cpus in them have internal GPUs so for light transcoding or GPU loads they can be leveraged without need for GPU cards. After trying several other x86 based options, Zimaboards are my preferred option.

I used Zimaboards. They are affordable and all you need if you couple the cluster with a TrueNAS Scale box and setup Democratic CSI.
