Interests are as follows: Music, Gaming, TTRPGs, Creative Writing, FOSS, Linux, AI, Numerology (Gematria, Chinese Numerology, Chaldean Numerology, etc.), and Pro Wrestling.

PFP was generated using Mistoon Diamond (SD 1.5) with 1Shot and Coconut LoRA for those interested in Stable Diffusion

  • The BDFI (Benevolent Dictator for Life) method works as it should. People should be using that one more. For instance, Vim had Moolenar as the BDFI, and it was a good thing for the project.

  • No, you absolutely don't. Governance is what destroys open-source projects. For instance, GNOME was destroyed and encrappified because of their board, for instance (a bad governance structure). Look at how IBM does governance to Wayland. That should show you that it doesn't work.

  • Aren't those the zones within 200 miles of the US border? Florida seems to have it the worst, as that state is surveilled big time.

  • I got that wrong. Re-writing.

    Yes, they use systemd, but they won't add that field.

  • I wouldn't recommend going with Fedora. IBM and RedHat are despised by many for a reason. There are three things made by them, and them alone in the upstream: systemd, Wayland, and PipeWire. PipeWire works just fine, though they're shoving the other two down everyone's throats, especially Wayland which is tied to systemd.

    I'd take a look at distributions that will not implement a specific user.db field that requires entering your date of birth, or anything else related to PII. Things like Garuda Linux (Arch-based), Omarchy (Arch with Hyprland, made by DHH), EndeavourOS (Arch-based), Devuan (Debian without systemd), Slackware, Zorin (Ubuntu-base with systemd), Vendefoul Wolf (Devuan with OpenRC instead of SysV), Artix (Arch without systemd), and Void are all options that said no to age verification/digital ID.

  • The charge is destruction of evidence because he used a duress password (he was legitimately under duress) to wipe the encryption keys off his phone, making it impossible for officers to do anything with.

    This was a violation of his 4th Amendment and 5th Amendment rights (4A is unreasonable search and siezure, while 5A is prevention of forced self-incrimination). Oh wait, the PATRIOT Act and Red Flag laws made 4A and 5A (respectively) defunct.

  • He clarifies exactly what he uses it for. There is no code generated by AI at all from the looks of it. Claude isn't found, nor is any other AI company found in this purpose.

  • Nostr is fantastic. You can seriously speak the truth on there, and not be censored... with exceptions to Primal, the biggest, clunkiest client on Nostr.

  • Yeah, it definitely sounds like a co-opted article, because America is losing the AI race to China (the script was already in play for us Americans to lose due to proprietary models).

    It's a call for the Chinese AI models to be banned because of how good they are.

  • China's models are surprising good at what they do. The US government is looking to ban them from use for "mUh nAtIoNaL sEcUrItY".

    Bullspit.

  • I forget where I read it, though I tried looking for it even after I read it.

  • I thought GNOME was German. I guess it was because of some German grant they were given.

  • I read that Gentoo was completely compromised by Google moles, since ChromeOS is based upon Gentoo, just proprietary slop.

    This was part of the reason why I switched to Artix, just because it fits my needs.

  • He's only doing what Starmer's done with digital ID... and will eventually have his own scheme.

    His Jesuit masters are already writing that script.

  • Yeah... this is exactly why: Wayland-only, systemd, potential for digital ID. Yes, it's got some decent merit, but Wayland combined with systemd (which are linked) kinda turn me off.

  • It looks like 6 Rustaceans absolutely hate the truth that is C.

    Don't get me wrong, Rust can have some merit, just not in the way y'all think.

  • People really should be doubting these mainstream journos, because they have the integrity of a Call of Duty fanboy who services the corn on the cob of Activision suits. This is especially true for the Economist, which is a Jesuit front organization telling us what they're going to do to us (and we accept it by even buying a subscription to that dump).

    Regardless of that, the trap is that America's AI dominance is only because of proprietary models, while FOSS models are superior to the proprietary slop that's put out.

  • Rust seriously isn't needed. C is the way to go.

    If you want to oxidize, then maybe fork the kernel, and keep mostly C code.
