I feel like this enables the dick putting in process.

for “private reasons.”

That's such funny phrasing. Why not say like a misguided effort to protect better against covid.

There is actually a whole subsection of AI focused on training one model with the output of another called knowledge distillation.

For all of our safety, consider submitting a bugreport.

Why are tax dollar being spent making it a little faster for rich FiDi people to get to JFK. Take the A train like the rest of us.

There is so much infrastructure NYC could improve:

  • Biking Infrastructure
  • More subway routes in Brooklyn
  • Better ties to PATH and LIRR
  • Expanded and more reliable bus infrastructure

And that is just what I can think in the moment.

Just read through their faq

Some of the messaging community believes that software that is open source is more secure. It is our view that it is not.

That's a nope from me.

...and definitely not capitally punish them

The world would be a better place if companies deleted your information as soon as you delete your account.

Signal: Because I want better messaging, and somehow they already achieved some adoption.

Firefox: If Firefox can somehow make their browser miles ahead of chrome, I think that'd be just plain good for the world.

Gitea/Forgejo: I think Github is another one of these centralized platforms that's pretty ripe for disruption (and gitlab is just not gonna do it).

Lemmy: It'd be amazing to have all the kinks ironed out of lemmy.

Mastodon: Same thing as lemmy. Get social media out of the hands of big companies.

Mail-in-a-box: I want to be able to host my own email if I want to. Proton is great, but isn't email supposed to be an open standard?

Framework: Not exactly a software project, but man I'd love to see them get the time to push out a ton of great different products and really spark the right to repair movement. It's the first device I was actually excited to buy.

Linux Mint: I don't use mint, but it seems like one of the most user friendly distros. I would love for them to make everything perfect and create a seamless experience (and really make a year of the linux desktop). I also think it would be great to just have one clear frontrunner for new users.

Coreboot: Make firmware open source? Yes please.

Truly Open Source LLM: I really don't want this tech to be in just the hands of just a big company. I'd love for there to be an LLM that has not only it's weights open, but the full dataset, training methods and everything open.

I think when you just get 10 years of dev time, you get an opportunity to push a project ahead of all it's competitors. It is kind of interesting to get to pick and choose a project to be the frontrunner (even if they aren't currently).

EXWM Zenburn (lemmy.world)
submitted 9 months ago by ripe_banana@lemmy.world to c/unixporn@lemmy.ml

I used to lurk on unixporn a lot in the old place, but I never thought my setup was worth showing (no rounded corners, cool floating stuff, slick darcula themes). However...I'm supposed to be an active contributor here 😅

Everything is centered around EXWM which basically allows you to embed your x windows into an emacs buffer (turning emacs into a window manager).

The stuff

I'm probably from a younger generation, because as long as I have been around google has never felt like a choice for me. Instead, it was always the default or mandated by the organization I am a part of (university, other web services...). It's kinda a fight to get out of the google grasp.

Hearing you (and I guess the article towards the end) talk about google as not a monstrosity gives me hope that maybe other companies can push through and usurp google's "defaultness". It'd also be great if it was not another giant like microsoft giving competition.

I'd love to be able to a make a non-google choice and not feel like an outsider.

In the spirit of selfhosting, you can also host headscale. Its an open source implementation of the proprietary tailscale control plane.

It allows you to get over the ~~5~~ device limit (different depending on tiers), as well as keep your traffic on your devices. And, imo, it is pretty stable.

The only issue is that the control plane (by nature) has to be publically accessible. But imo it's way less of a security target than a massive app like nextcloud.

Edit: device limits were wrong

I really like hugo. Everything is written in Markdown and its pretty light. Definitely not as heavy as a full CMS. I also think the themes are pretty nice.

To deploy it you can use github pages or some cloud services (the hugo site lists some).

Its also pretty flexible, so its pretty easy to change how you want to deploy it, or change the look.
