Do people seriously not keep copies of their finished work anymore? They just post them and delete the local copy?

That’s one of the reasons why uploads to the Archive have torrents.

Now if they’d just fix the damn tracker…

That’s how we got far right influencers, though. They took the naming and shaming and turn them into grifts.

Folks have made it - I think ollama was name-checked specifically because it’s on Github and in Homebrew and in some distros’ package repositories (it’s definitely in Arch’s). I think some folks (at least) aren’t talking about it because of the general hate-on folks have for LLMs these days.

I thought that feature was built into it, but okay.

We’ve seen time and again what happens when a mega gets a foothold in something grassroots: Embrace, extend, extinguish.

MS-DOS up until about 1995 or 1996. Slackware until 1997. Debian until 1998. Slackware again until 2000. Debian again until 2005. Gentoo until 2012. Arch up to the present.

Talking Tiananmen with a Chinese chatbot: Chinese developers hope to build the AI of the future. What, if anything, will it have to say about the past? (chinamediaproject.org)

As China strives to surpass the United States with cutting-edge generative artificial intelligence, the leadership is keen to ensure technologies reach the public with the right political blind spots pre-engineered. Can Chinese AI hold its tongue on the issues most sensitive to the Chinese Communist Party?...

State of S3 - Your Laptop is no Laptop anymore (blog.jeujeus.de)

In this article, I aim to take a different approach. We will begin by defining a laptop according to my understanding. The I will share my personal history and journey to this point, as well as my current situation with my home and work laptops. Using this perspective, we will explore the current dysfunctionality of the standby...

Sleep is hit-or-miss even on System76 laptops. Dead simple on my XPS, though.

You are not the only person. However, even hibernation mode isn’t a sure thing anymore.

I mean, even then it might not work. I’m wrestling with it right now (Lemur Pro 13 from System76) and from plain old suspend mode the machine still wakes up randomly (it pops up on my monitoring network as active, and can even be SSH’d into when it’s supposed to be in lower power mode). Also, suspend-to-disk hibernation only resumes correctly about 13% of the time (I’ve been keeping stats while debugging it).

I wonder how many folks are just refusing to use Rust to spite the Rust Evangelism Strike Team.

That lawsuit was a long time in coming. Covid just goosed the schedule forward about a year, and probably made it easier.

Is it bad that I keep wondering if one of the big book publishers bought a DDoS from somebody’s botnet?

Before starting something new, I ask myself if this is going to bring me a step closer to my eventual goals.

There are spambots that still post on Usenet newsgroups even after organics abandoned them twenty years ago.
