You clearly aren’t getting it and I checked the rest of your messages, so I’m rescinding my benefit of the doubt. Last comment.

Yes, please, do search for the correct terms to find an article to argue your point, it very much helps your argument. If there was an link to an article in your first post, this thread would have been very different.

Do you think you could find our man an article about someone discussing Carter not being progressive enough at the time on south africa in some form of print media?

I love how culturally Bob Dole is boiled down to “is that the fruit guy” and this bit.

A cookie does taste better when its stolen.

To be fair, I’ve washed more adept developers out of the bottom of my coffee cup on monday morning.

I feel that its not that LLMs are showing intelligence, its just humans don’t always.

Commerce doesn’t give a shit. The article is about commerce. Don’t be pissed at me for the way the world works.

I’ll have to take your word for it. I can’t be bothered setting up quassel.

I think this is an excellent idea, alas I don’t know anyone from lobste.rs and I just cannot be bothered with going on IRC in 2026, so I guess I don’t get an invite

Trade and inter-country cooperation and commerce weren’t being shaken down as hard before Trump.

When its just serving and gating access to flac files, it really isn’t that complicated of an application, and serving content is a known quantity with cheap tooling.

Just don’t use vercel, bro.

Last time I checked someone stole all their data and it was only 300TB.

Data is cheap. Even cheaper when its peer to peer.

Decades of nice safe cooperation and suddenly everythings fucked and now we can’t trust eachother.

Its what happens when you let the mob run a country and it runs around smashing everything

Consider trying to play the same games that you regularly play on linux and see if you could be free of Redmond’s touch

I quite lldap too. I wish there was an easy way to glop oauth ontop of it.

Just to remind you as the surveillance state crawls further up between your kidneys that Epstein used a free gmail account hosted on US servers and nobody did dick about him.

The future of validating if people are “real” or not is beginning to feel like fighting with ghosts.

But I feel you, using github copilot as spicy autocomplete is the only way it is useful to me too. I also sort-of like the AI summaries of messages in my notification bar. I just wish that was all guaranteed to be locally generated. I’m kind of hoping a budget NPU will make a decent open local spicy-autocomplete solution at some point.

Oh no, I’m just suggesting upcycling someones old itx hardware and new chassis and making something that isn’t literally fragile.

Also, USB SATA controllers in those external hard drives tend to suck.

To be fair if humans couldn’t directly fuck with the bot and it only had sales data and a catalogue, I think it could competently run the vending machine.

The issue is that the unholy drink cloaca coke freestyle machines do it better without AI.

You may wish to consider just building a proper home NAS into a chassis like DS380 with a cheap ITX board and a decent controller if you need the throughput.
