Processed by LLMs no doubt.

I loved Mozilla for years but trust nothing from them these days.

I love listening stats, I just don’t need to share them, and for that I have Navidrome. I use subsonic clients and a Navidrome server for my Bandcamp purchased. I get the stats and privacy too…

Gorgeous

Magic link is lazy 2fa.

Implement TOTP support, you lazy fucks.

Neelix is awesome.

Robert Picardo ended up exactly where he was needed.

Moreover, until you can get the same output from the same input from an LLM consistently, the entire tech is unreliable garbage.

Most of the medical information coming up these days is garbage and you should be going to a known, reputable site and searching their database. LLMs have been trained on absolute garbage. There is nothing of value being kept from anyone here.

Get fucked.

Reminds me of:

Have you tried… Water?

Thats exactly how I feel about heat.

Wait for the better holiday, Feb 15th, aka cheap chocolate day.

Pi4 is better for anything with video as it has a a hardware decoder. They dropped the hardware decoder in the Pi5 and I think you need to buy an extra module to have one for them.

The differentiator is max speed in Canada. Regardless of how they are built. If you can exceed a certain speed, license required.

If you don’t need voice, there are a lot of options. Matrix has IRC support and encryption, and has voice options if you self host.

Riot is… A Discord clone without working voice and I found it to be an odd duck.

There’s RocketChat… More Slack like.

Mattermost.

I replaced my voice/video chats with Nextcloud Talk and/or Steam, based on the scenario. Outside of those, Matrix is good for community needs in my mind.

We interacted on the internet for years without discord.

It is far from essential.

Most of the american companies are using Chinese manufacturing for much of the devices. Fairphone is European, but same manufacturing sources.

In 2026, as a Canadian… Choosing between a country that is adopting nazi practices and threatening us with annexation, and one who has a questionable history but is overall doing more for climate change and global stability right now than the other… The choice is easy. Anything but american.

Sure, but then you are also not funding Google’s competition in order to help improve choice.

Buying second hand might make you feel better because you didn’t directly fund Google, but you’re still helping them maintain their position.

The Graphene devs explicitly only support Pixels. Sticking with Graphene means continuing to give Google the profits from your hardware.

/e/OS is not bad as an alternative. The system wide ad and tracker blocking is nice.
