Not today, but recently at work, I, a DevOps engineer specializing in Linux and other Unix/Unix-like systems, was given the task of doing some admin and maintenance work on a few Windows servers...
I FUCKING HATE WINDOWS
THIS OS MAKES NO SENSE AND ADMINISTERING IT IS A NIGHTMARE
Many people just downvote when they see any mention of AI. Unfortunately the Fediverse is pretty stubborn on this topic. That's why I like the instance I'm on, @db0 is open to AI, and even develops AI tools you can run locally on your machine.
There's a very similar FOSS alternative that can be self-hosted called Perplexica. You know what's really funny?
When you ask Perplexity "Perplexity vs Perplexica", it returns this answer:
Recent evaluations indicate that Perplexica often outperforms Perplexity AI in terms of interaction quality and content relevance. In various tests, Perplexica scored higher in comprehensiveness and user-friendly interactions compared to Perplexity's different models (Vanilla and Copilot)
and
In summary, while both Perplexica and Perplexity AI aim to improve the search experience through AI technologies, Perplexica stands out as a more flexible and privacy-focused alternative. Its open-source nature allows for greater customization and control, making it suitable for users who prioritize data privacy and adaptability in their search tools.
LOL
Perplexity just acknowledged that it's worse than its open source competitor
Wrong instance I guess. Yeah, Lemmy.ml, Lemmygrad and hexbear are toxic as hell, but there are really nice instances out there. I chose dbzer0 and it's great here. We also have many interesting threads about locally hosted FOSS AI. db0 himself is quite involved in this topic, he's the initial author of things like AI Horde. Basically everyone on db0 I've seen acknowledges the active genocide that's being conducted by the Israeli fascist government. Other topics on the instance are anarchism and of course piracy.
Emulators exist... ...oh wait... FUCK NINTENDO
I love their exclusive titles, but their hardware, and the way they deal with emulator developers make me want to throw up
