t-deck has a keyboard and is ideal for a personal handset. A G2 Basestation or rak device is ideal for node to node communication to act as a base station for range extension.

If you want something like this with asymmetric encryption, a qwerty keyboard, mesh range extension, and a GUI, try a T-Deck running Meshtastic.

I run AdNauseam to click as many ads as possible randomly simulating ad-addicted humans, just to waste as much money of adtech companies and ad buyers as possible. This year I caused something like $10k to likely be paid for ads to be deliv

You are more accommodating than me. Profit driven targeted content of any kind, especially ads, are poison. I could never knowingly enable anyone in my household to harm themselves with something so toxic to brain health and quality of life

I go to CCC and Defcon every year and they are night and day. CCC actively discourages companies from advertising unless they are fully open source community driven orgs. Governments are even less welcome. While even the Privacy Village at

Grew up in Texas, and while southern kindness and acceptance can certainly be found, it is often surface level. I was raised to refer to black people as the N word, and that athiests, muslims, and LGBT people are dangerous, and that we shou

Unlike with Apple, you have virtually unlimited choices of Linux distributions that are ad-free.

There are several thousand expired email domains of maintainers right now on NPM alone, allowing you to easily take over their accounts if you wanted, arguably legally, for maybe $10. I bought the domain name of the sole maintainer of the N

It is absolutely not alarmist. Seriously, go apply to be a Homebrew developer right now under an alias, make some useful updates for a few months, then submit a PR as another alias, and approve and merge your own changes from the first alia

Eroded public trust in government is however a good thing. Our biggest mistake as a supposedly free country was trusting centralized entities to forever act in accordance with the will of the majority. As a society we need to stop asking fo

Professional security researcher here. I would strongly discourage threat modeling with vibes. Your post already reveals potentially the scariest things someone might learn if you published your dotfiles: that you use Homebrew, pip, etc as

We will do a 180 and start walking the other way in 3 years. And then 4 years after that will be back here again. As is tradition. America never dies, it just walks in circles aimlessly while others march ahead in a mostly straight line lau

No need to clown them. I just want to know if people exist that are willing to even attempt to defend this rationally.

Ah, fair. More great reasons to never work for a megacorpo. There is not a paycheck big enough to make me give up the freedom to do whatever I want with my personal engineering time. I have only worked for employers that do just one thing,

Just tell them to fork it. Done. No need to take any grief you do not want.

Or live in California where forced assignment of personal time IP is illegal.

by lrvick 1y ago
In California you can just open source it and do not need permission as long as you did it on personal time on personal hardware without referencing proprietary IP. Sure, a company could not like you doing that and find a reason to fire you

I am noticing a distinct lack of maga apologists in this thread. I know you are reading. Please, explain why this is a good thing.

Do work in and rely on self hosted forks so you are not blocked, and upstream when upstream code submissions become possible again.

Does not impact me, because my team and I self-host Forgejo for all our work. People seem to forget Git was meant to be decentralized.

I mean many people I know have 100tb+ in storage at home now. A large enough team of dedicated community members cooperating and sharing compute resources online should be able to reproduce any model.

I build confidence this is true by using search engines that link to potentially related projects when I query them. The same data LLM trained on in the first place, except more up to date.

I am plenty able to keep up with experiments others are doing and their results, but as for me my time is best spent building things that have never existed before, that models have no prior art to implement.

Which would have been great to distinguish from the ones that certainly are not.
