That thing is still there. Other people can still see it. Copyright infringement is copyright infringement. I really wish people would stop triggering the hindbrain by screaming "theft theft theft". Related of course, and I've said this before, but *god* is it depressing to see so many people become copyright maximalists over AI. *Every other reason to oppose AI has more merit*, by far. npub1h6pp0djk8pc6j295d2u5vhznt0t3r4l2va2mpksarlms9mvxnu7srdcr8r john fink ok!! :goat: @npub1c57…awu5 ....

Has literally any elected Republican called for Trump to drop out despite the massive amounts of evidence as to his lack of fitness for *any* office, dogcatcher on up? npub1h6pp0djk8pc6j295d2u5vhznt0t3r4l2va2mpksarlms9mvxnu7srdcr8r john fink ok!! :goat: so should I watch the debate or should I decide that I actually love myself npub1h6pp0djk8pc6j295d2u5vhznt0t3r4l2va2mpksarlms9mvxnu7srdcr8r john fink ok!! :goat: I haven't been looking at the replies or anything but I am fucking goggling at what is apparently a tsunami of 'splaining to @npub1upk…tcwy of all people.

Something with barometer/altimeter stuff or just something that you can bang around outdoors without worrying about it breaking? npub1h6pp0djk8pc6j295d2u5vhznt0t3r4l2va2mpksarlms9mvxnu7srdcr8r john fink ok!! :goat: @npub1c57…awu5 yes but counterpoint - handsome as hell npub1h6pp0djk8pc6j295d2u5vhznt0t3r4l2va2mpksarlms9mvxnu7srdcr8r john fink ok!! :goat: Not sure if it's an original concept or what, but this #pico8 take on #tetris is kind of genius. Tetris shapes but absolutely not Tetris methodology. I suck at it, but it's damn fun. Plays terrific on #miyoominiplus also. https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=146732 npub1h6pp0djk8pc6j295d2u5vhznt0t3r4l2va2mpksarlms9mvxnu7srdcr8r john fink ok!! :goat: @npub1tvq…l6jk aw cripes, I really liked RPS. npub1h6pp0djk8pc6j295d2u5vhznt0t3r4l2va2mpksarlms9mvxnu7srdcr8r john fink ok!! :goat: @npub1c57…awu5 cannot get enough of this guy.

CASIO CALCULATOR WATCH COOLEST MAN EVER OR WHAT npub1h6pp0djk8pc6j295d2u5vhznt0t3r4l2va2mpksarlms9mvxnu7srdcr8r john fink ok!! :goat: been thinking about this albini piece, amongst many albini pieces, just about constantly for the last 24 hours. https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/412/765/316/115/280/original/2e3656f75c19daff.png npub1h6pp0djk8pc6j295d2u5vhznt0t3r4l2va2mpksarlms9mvxnu7srdcr8r john fink ok!! :goat: @npub1l3g…vu48 I've got a couple of these and they're pretty nice little devices. Not a *whole* lot of Meshtastic activity in my city (about...four or five active nodes) but I really enjoy it. Fun hobby! npub1h6pp0djk8pc6j295d2u5vhznt0t3r4l2va2mpksarlms9mvxnu7srdcr8r john fink ok!! :goat: @npub1sua…szrk oh man, I *really love mine*. You're in for a treat. You probably know this already, but one of the first things you should do is install onionui (https://onionui.github.io) npub1h6pp0djk8pc6j295d2u5vhznt0t3r4l2va2mpksarlms9mvxnu7srdcr8r john fink ok!! :goat: Aha, #phi3 #llm is up now.

Light". That's the only difference on the case. The U is better anyway. :D you digging it so far? npub1h6pp0djk8pc6j295d2u5vhznt0t3r4l2va2mpksarlms9mvxnu7srdcr8r john fink ok!! :goat: @npub1thl…mhaw awww man there you go!!!! npub1h6pp0djk8pc6j295d2u5vhznt0t3r4l2va2mpksarlms9mvxnu7srdcr8r john fink ok!! :goat: @npub1c57…awu5 oh my god there's another one??? npub1h6pp0djk8pc6j295d2u5vhznt0t3r4l2va2mpksarlms9mvxnu7srdcr8r john fink ok!! :goat: @npub1thl…mhaw that's...pretty vague.

But what you can run will very much be bound by what your machine is (most notably - how much RAM and if you have a usable graphics unit) npub1h6pp0djk8pc6j295d2u5vhznt0t3r4l2va2mpksarlms9mvxnu7srdcr8r john fink ok!! :goat: Man we had a subscription to mondo 2000 at the first academic library I worked at. Dude who did the collecting was very cool, bought lots of real neat stuff. Probably my first, earliest template for subject/liaison/reference librarianship. npub1h6pp0djk8pc6j295d2u5vhznt0t3r4l2va2mpksarlms9mvxnu7srdcr8r john fink ok!! :goat: @npub1dfe…yx8m Not offhand, no. Anything RDNA 2 or above should be okay. Note you don't strictly *need* GPU acceleration to use Ollama - it uses quantized models that will run on straight CPU - that's how I use it at home. It will be faster with GPU of course. npub1h6pp0djk8pc6j295d2u5vhznt0t3r4l2va2mpksarlms9mvxnu7srdcr8r john fink ok!! :goat: @npub1dfe…yx8m Linux and AMD that can do ROCm 6.0.

I mean the kind that have dial-up (and only dial-up, do UUCP, stuff like that). There can't be, right? I mean ... right? It's like asking if there are working telegraphs. npub1h6pp0djk8pc6j295d2u5vhznt0t3r4l2va2mpksarlms9mvxnu7srdcr8r john fink ok!! :goat: @npub13vv…0sze I AM SO HAPPY.

I don't get around a whole lot npub1h6pp0djk8pc6j295d2u5vhznt0t3r4l2va2mpksarlms9mvxnu7srdcr8r john fink ok!! :goat: I don't wear this watch nearly as much as I should, the almighty #casio Royale is extremely classic.

I was last there in 1992, I do miss it, and it's so lovely seeing the cats and slice-of-life stuff and all. Just wonderful. npub1h6pp0djk8pc6j295d2u5vhznt0t3r4l2va2mpksarlms9mvxnu7srdcr8r john fink ok!! :goat: @npub1sua…szrk oh man, iirc, that's the watch the *pope* wears. npub1h6pp0djk8pc6j295d2u5vhznt0t3r4l2va2mpksarlms9mvxnu7srdcr8r john fink ok!! :goat: @npub1sua…szrk man you just can't go wrong with the MRW-200, it's basically the analogue version of the F91-W. Looks great. I should get one. npub1h6pp0djk8pc6j295d2u5vhznt0t3r4l2va2mpksarlms9mvxnu7srdcr8r john fink ok!! :goat: @npub1n29…rnlv I liked your post! I've never owned a smart watch, let alone an Apple, so I can't really speak to your particular problems with it but I think I would be *really irritated* by the 2 day charge thing and also, yes, uh, telling the time? on a watch? Is important? I have a g-shock -- the GWM5610U-1, so not quite as fancy as yours, but it is absolutely my favourite digital watch. They're just terrific. npub1h6pp0djk8pc6j295d2u5vhznt0t3r4l2va2mpksarlms9mvxnu7srdcr8r john fink ok!! :goat: @npub1y4h…t26u am I a bad enough dude to rescue the president is the real question though npub1h6pp0djk8pc6j295d2u5vhznt0t3r4l2va2mpksarlms9mvxnu7srdcr8r john fink ok!! :goat: @npub1p9d…8p0a @npub1zey…9awy I've been playing this on my little console and I am *so bad at it*, but it's compelling as all hell. npub1h6pp0djk8pc6j295d2u5vhznt0t3r4l2va2mpksarlms9mvxnu7srdcr8r john fink ok!! :goat: @npub1zey…9awy THIS GAME IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING AND I AM NOT GOOD AT IT (but it's a very good game; the fault is mine). npub1h6pp0djk8pc6j295d2u5vhznt0t3r4l2va2mpksarlms9mvxnu7srdcr8r john fink ok!! :goat: In my "find people from your past and ping them and say hi to them" project, taking a chance that this dude I found is the same dude I went to library school with two decades ago whom I remember fondly.
