just dont plug your tvs to the internet

a 4k OLED should last you a while. I'm reasonably sure they make 'em

If you're going to get one of these slow, unresponsive pieces of shit, you might as well connect to the Internet. All of them should have adb support. You either need to find a debloating script or drop all telemetry server adresses in /etc/hosts.

Have you considered

Not connecting your TV to the network

Then it wouldn't spy on you


The real problem will be when all the TVs that exist force you to go online to even USE them (I think some Roku? TVs do this chinletry, God help us all if this becomes standard)

The problem with lambda calculus is that you eventually run out of other people's imperative code

beta reduce yourself, retard

>>26653
There are mathematical differences. But they are equivalent. How hard is that to understand?

I don't want to think about the underlying machine, I just want to execute code.

>>26679
Wdym you don't want the size of the cacheline to run snake?

Laser printers are sturdy and cost-efficient. Inkjet printers cost less, but their operation is more error-prone, the ink dries without frequent use and cartridges are relatively expensive (recent HP printers only accept brand cartridges with a code).
>The question is important to me, i'm kind of on a deadline but trying to search this stuff is very overwhelming with everyone trying to sell me something, i'm not a big digital buyer.
Get a used one. Brother printers work reliably and have good driver support on nearly everything. HP printers are meh, but widely supported and often come cheap.

everyone says do the brother laser printers but theyre >$150 toner should last years but will be ~$80 to get refill. kinda wish i went with that

the alternative is to get a shitty hp for like $50 and a $10 16oz bottle of ink with a syringe a diy refill it. you gotta be careful though cause if you run it dry it will melt the print heads and you gotta pay nearly $30 for a new one and if you accidentally connect to the internet and update the firmware it can brick cartridges based on serial number after approx 120 pages. ive been using one and had to get around 5 or 6 new carts in just as many years but have printed thousands of pages on that 16oz of ink. every few months i have to fiddle with it for hours switching old carts with new carts until it fills up the memory for serial numbers and finally lets me print without arbitrarily rejecting the cart for being expired. they had a class action that forced them to rollback the drivers and they just did it again right after and if you get a new one they will try to lock you in to ink subscriptions. it also can help if you get a $5 suction clip for priming the refill or sometimes it wont work and you have to try to push from the top with a syringe or blow with your mouth and get ink all over the place. also the ink is water based and will smear if you get your prints wet. i've been on the same cart for the last year by just remembering to refill it every 60 or so prints and using linux with no hp software on it when it rejects the cart i just turn it on and off and then it works

They could also get a HP laserjet at a lower price. Mine works well enough.

invest in a laser tank printer. you'll save money in the long run. I have an HP LaserJet Tank MFP 2604. works great. prints are less than $.01

Note: I only posted the video because that's what I'm currently watching and taking as a source of information. Will not and cannot take the entirety of the things she lists and apply them here, obviously.

I like it but as said before by some most /leftypol/ users are boomers who like the 2003 "classic" look for imageboards

>all the pictures of myself are from when i was a teenager/early 20s

am i fucked?

>>26550
depends if your face has changed and youve gained weight?

I think intelligence apparatuses spend too much time collecting data and not enough time analyzing it. They've started to build AI to analyze it for them, but they don't and won't quality control that AI. eventually their systems will begin to make unwanted and unexpected decisions. At that point, things will either get out of their hands completely, and they'll become victims of the monster they created, or they'll revert to doing things slowly.

>>26545
No, it doesn't. You need a phone number, at best. Maybe more white collar jobs also require you to use some IM service like Slack or Microsoft Teams.

Being a few years into my 30s I feel like being a /g/-tier privacy schizo for a third of my life has only made my life considerably terrible. Doesn't help I'm not a firstie or remotely well-off.

>>26534
Leftypol is the only imageboard I use unironically

>>26538
I go on nukechan too but leftypol is the main one I use. Hope someone forks this app because I don't think any other chan app has this site on it

>>26539
Time to put PWA back on the menu…

anything but that

This is a naive reading of both the license and the Github ToS. The license says that you can't distribute a modified version. The Github ToS says that making a public Github repository means allowing forking but they're talking about people pressing the "fork" button. This is nothing more than a database operation. People do this all the time and then never make any modifications. I don't know what they're getting out of it but they do it nonetheless. And now they can do it with Winamp.

>>26505
That mere database operation counts as distribution. It violates "Official Distribution".

>>26506
I disagree. That is no more distribution than linking to the upstream repository. It's a web 2.0 fiction until you start making modifications. Further, the Github ToS constitutes a separate grant of rights and would render that term unenforceable, at least on Github. I think it would be illegal to clone the repo and upload it to Gitlab, for instance.

>>26507
It is not linking. It would be more like downloading a tarball and making it available elsewhere. How Github handles it in the background does not matter. It is now available at a different place, which constitutes as distribution.

>>26496
Just fork it anyway and develop on a tor onion repo

>>26476
If the program has sufficiently local access patterns, you can get decent performances with mostly swap.

Mine has 256M.

>>26478
There's swap for video?

>>26484
I thought VRAM meant virtual RAM/memory, my mistake. The answer to your question depends on how the application manages memory. System level memory access will pass through the virtual memory subsystem, but low-level VRAM access will be bounded by physical size. The program might even implement its own virtual memory layer for obvious reasons. Integrated graphics are a special case, because they often map their VRAM onto a physical memory region, whose size is sometimes governed by dynamic bios settings.

I suggest you take a look at the memory settings of your application. Performancewise the worst-case scenario would be running a virtual machine that emulates a video card.

>>26476
Isn't stable diffusion minimum VRAM like 4Gb?

>>26488
For one, I believe you can run it on CPU/RAM only if you have enough, it will just generally be much slower.
I don't have a 4GB VRAM device and I'm running it. But newer higher-res models trained on larger pics (e.g. 1024x1024 pics instead of 512x512 pics) or any upscaling to a larger output requires using tiling (generating e.g. 4 smaller images to make one big image) or just using CPU mode. So 4GB would be the recommended, at least for whenever model they were talking about.

>>26463
it certainly seems like a lot of fediverse users bring twitter baggage with them. like they think they can somehow block specific users from reading their public posts on the federated microblogging network. it boggles the mind
