What if for the entirety of July we didn't use AI chatbots, or AI searches at all, using duckduckgo or other search engines with no AI intergration instead.

AI just makes me dumber and makes thinking for myself harder, it would be really cool if some people here could help spread this!

Make some posters for this in the thread.

when you see mags like these in the shops you just know the bubble isn't going to hold much longer. im sure these were dime a dozen in the dot com bubble, crypto, etc…

i think i will have this AI july because my "AI-first" company has a quota so strict it's not even funny. I blew my quota just by asking a straighforward question. This shit is so over man.

>>33721

it's like we're back to the medieval era where anytime a person handled money they had to go through this whole ritual where they test each coin to make sure they're not counterfeit because forgery was rampant and there was no social trust at all.

Did it work

>>33988
Sorry I used composer 2 to make some mermaid diagrams therefore fucking up the no AI July movement

>Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects, and if somebody has issues with that, they can do the open-source thing and fork it.


>Or just walk away.


>AI is a tool, just like other tools we use. And it's clearly a useful one.


>It may not have been that "clearly" even just a year ago, but it's no longer in question today.


>There are other questions around AI (like what the economy of it will actually look like in the end), but "is it useful" is no longer one of those questions. Anybody who doubts that clearly hasn't actually used it.


>Yes, it can also be a somewhat painful tool, both for maintainer workloads and just from a "it keeps finding embarrassing bugs" standpoint.


>But the solution is not to put your head in the sand and sing "La La La, I can't hear you" at the top of your voice like some people seem to do.

>DevOps guys aren't that stupid


lol oh boy. you must be very new to this career field.

>>33955
Know any stories about teams where devs are forced to address every bit of AI review? Even in the most anti-AI dev places I know I've never heard anything like this.

>>33949
>fascism is when someone is an annoying dick
yes, and more specifically, the conditions that allow that person to do those things with impunity. in a world with strong institutions, for example, linus would've long ago been replaced by an institution, much like the average private sector petty tyrant

and more seriously, you conveniently missed the most important part:
>obsequious towards those above them
because fascist, and linus personally, only ever punch down, never up, that's what distinguishes it from common anti-social behavior

>>33846
>But wasting your time writing code by hand won't stop AI.

I don't see why people see writing code as wasting time, unless you never liked programming in the first place. I've never ever thought of writing music as a waste of time, because I enjoy the whole process, even if it gets frustrating at times. But it's what makes it worthwhile. Same with programming. I really don't get this hype for making a bot do everything for you unless you hated doing it.

>>33981

its because most programmers aren't really programmers who enjoy programming or even understand programming, most of them are just yuppies looking for a cushy white collar gig



 

recently i started a experiment. i am scrolling through the firehose feed on nostr via the primal app. this means you get the unfiltered, raw data stream in real time. no algos, pure chaos. i am finding so much crazy stuff. it is a true treasue hunt!

flood detected???

Isn't this literally what they made misskey for?

>>33961
nostr and the fediverse are connected. with this relay wss://relay.ditto.pub i also get posts from mastodon etc. probably also misskey



 

found this while binging the nost firehose feed. maybe someboedy here migjt be interested

Basically all third party gentoo repos are unsigned, and ssl is trivial to mitm for any three letter agency. It was only recently that gentoo even started signing their main repo (and it wasn't even ssl so anyone could mitm to root your system).

TRVThNKh! Dan Bernstein's redo is the only civilized build system.

>>33943
in the final analysis it's all just programs, so build.sh is the trve answer

>>33944
The average build.sh can't do minimal rebuilds, i.e. it will always recompile the entire project, whether you change a line in config.h or not. Redo targets are literally just executable files, that specify dependencies through redo-* calls, so repeated redo invocations will only rebuild targets according to the dependency graph, while those targets are still arbitrary programs.

Graphene OS is not degoogled. Recent revelation of security researcher mike kuketz reveals the thruth:

https://www.kuketz-blog.de/grapheneos-warum-android-eine-verbindung-zu-gstatic-com-aufbaut/

The "privacy" ROM connects to Google's gstatic.com for Certificate Transparency logs. While no app data is leaked, Google captures the user’s public IP address and exact request timestamps during these background HTTPS connections.

This enables tracking via cross-correlation: If you open sandboxed apps like X or Instagram, they log your IP. Since Big Tech cooperates and shares telemetry data, Google can match the gstatic connection timestamp with your app activity IP, instantly identifying your GrapheneOS device.

YOU HAVE BEEN LIED TO.

isn't graphene only compatible with pixel phones? how do you degoogle something that is designed to run solely on google hardware? it seems like they made android even less free in that respect, at least vanilla android runs on tons of different devices and not just google's.

people have some weird interpretations of what liberated software/hardware is, i've always sort of suspected the whole idea was ill-founded and unworkable from the beginning, and seeing maga get in on the act with the "freedom phone" pretty much sealed the deal for me.

>>33871
Vanilla android doesn't run anywhere, android is always customized to run anywhere other than in a vm, it's a cursed shitware os. But yes lineageos supports waaay more devices, and the benefit of graphene seems highly questionable to me.
That said all hardware is aids-ridden, google's hardware is not even the worst, probably by far not the worst. Btw assuming you're the guy from the samsung thread - in the past replicant devs found a modem-level backdoor in a samsung phone. And that's just what the found - it's a very small team and the number and complexity of devices is huge and ever growing, so you can safely assume EVERY device has something like that or worse.

looks like GrapheneOS has fixed this now by mirroring the files on their own servers. but I wonder why they do this all the time for every connection rather than say once per hour or once a week
also yes trusting GrapheneOS instead of Google is not without problems but there are degrees in hell

why do people on here argue over what to trust as if anything could possibly be trustworthy.

the smartphone market is just a dumpster fire from top to bottom, particularly android. android is the worst operating system in the history of mankind, the bastard child of google and linux, the two worst things to ever happen to computer technology. degoogling android won't make it better, nothing can make android better, android is shit all the way through, there is literally nothing good about it at all.

Am looking for an uncapped unmetered pipe to buy in crypto.
Something in a jurisdiction which uses court order instead of DMCA.
And critically isn't in a jurisdiction with hate-speech legislation.
I've found a service offering the pipe, with many jurisdictions.
But don't want to be fined or imprisoned for ironic anti-hybernianism, or links.
Didn't see any that have both of these features, deregulated.
Is there anywhere that in practice doesn't really enforce these things?
Or is it possible to use (the exorbitant) DDOS-Guard or another service to hide?

That's free market for you. So much choice! Now even monitors have AIDS in them.

>>33827
i think just passing it through a cheap kvm switch would be enough since it wipes EDID info, windows would detect it as a generic monitor and would not even attempt to download drivers. alternatively just disable the feature to download software automatically.



 


https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge
Program that bridges API calls from Windows VST in Wine to DAW

I heavily recommend using u-he plugins if you don't care about using proprietary software, especially the new Zebra3 (a CPU hog but sounds sublime and insanely versatile), Repro-1 and 5 (Prophet-5 and Pro-One emulations) and Uhbik2 (great suite of effects).
A lot of people swear by Diva, and Bazille is also pretty interesting if you are into weird modular sounds.

TAL also make good plugins with Linux native versions. Haven't tried AudioDamage stuff, but I've heard it's good too.

Otherwise, with yabridge, ValhallaDSP plugins run perfectly for reverb and delay. I had good experiences with the FabFilter suite in the past too. Native Instruments stuff generally works okay. Lightweight plugins from small companies that don't use iLok kind of shit DRM tend to work pretty well too, like Madrona Labs' Aalto or AberrantDSP SketchCassette II and Digitalis.
However, I had no luck with Serum 2 and Lexicon plugins, but I can do without them.

The only thing that sucks is that yabridge hasn't been updated in a long while, and it has a mouse cursor glitch with the latest versions of wine-staging, but it works fine with the normal version in Mint's repos. Let's hope they eventually fix this problem, but so far, I think there is everything needed to make great sounding tracks on Linux.
No Ableton Live and Max For Live sadly (there is Bitwig and PlugData tho), and tinkering and random bugs can be pretty annoying sometimes, but I think there is something really satisfying about having an audio setup working fine on Linux. It used to be much more complicated and restrictive 10 or 15 years ago.



 

was looking into minimal self-hosted alternatives and found texttotalk.org. plaintext only, no images, no markdown, no js tracking. sign up doesn't ask for email, just a username and password (hashed, not stored plain, checked).
no algorithm either, board is just sorted newest/top, nothing ranked to keep you scrolling.
somebody called out the site's html for being div-heavy instead of semantic in a comment, and the dev actually fixed it instead of getting defensive. small thing but tells you something.
worth a look if you're tired of platforms that call themselves "free" while quietly profiling you.
