crazy what these poor rats have to go through for our curiosity. now we even make them live in car dependent cities, oh the horror

why are you so interested in logs? are you like a lumberjack?

Maybe if they make a watch with a camera cover and a laser that draws a little box around what it can see and it all runs locally, then I might be interested.

Mainly to identify plants and mushrooms.

Not a fan of the idea of everyone pointing AI powered cameras at me all the time, like with this weird pin or smart glasses.

Such products should have a legally mandated camera cover, microphone shutoff and a REALLY OBVIOUS tell to everyone around you if you are using the camera or mic.

Bonus points if it screams a really loud “PERVERT” alarm if you’re doing something creepy.

If only that was true for smartphones too…

It is kind of interesting how open machine learning already is without much explicit advocacy for it.

It’s the only field I can think of where the open version is just a few months behind SOTA in all of IT.

Open training pipelines and open data are the only aspects that could still use improvements in ML, but there are plenty of projects that are near-SOTA and fully open.

ML is extremely open compared to consumer mobile or desktop apps that are always ~10 years behind SOTA

Congratulations 🤠🥾er

I think you are looking at work horse distros, like Ubuntu, Fedora, etc… That by now are heavily used for productive work, not personal use. So they favor stability and minor quality of life improvements over shiny new updates.

There’s plenty shiny new cutting edge distros out there that are innovating, e.g. Nix, Silverblue, VanillaOS, all the container focused ones CoreOS, Container OS, Flatcar Container Linux and probably dozens more newer ones I am not aware of .

Probably because 3rd party app stores can’t install apps like the play store can. you need a rooted phone or flash them as a system app to get the same functionality as Play Store. which isn’t something your average Joe will do.

On a normal unmodified phone you have to manually confirm each app you want to install. so no auto-updates in the background etc.

it ends on “insertion”

none, I was just blessed with the role against my will because no one else was around

… to automate the economy of the Soviet Union?

people need to take a step back and realize we have the capability to trap quasi-omnipotent quasi-demons in our personal computers

yeah they lie a lot and rarely do what you want them to, but that’s just what demons do

And it’s all powered by some dark crystals created with light magic that slowly poison the planet

that’s some arcane bullshit

because AMD cards can now run CUDA?

devil’s advocate: this will save the vast majority of user (which are completely tech illiterate) from loosing their most important data

lets be real, none of them will use a private or foss backup solution any time soon.

I’d rather not they loose their important family photos for that oh so horrible crime of offending my privacy nerd sensibilities

what is a prophesh yonnels

BlackberryPi Flipper Zero with LoRa and a thermal camera (because why not) would be cool

More like Hammer Industries

Snapchat and Google Docs are the only two non-FOSS apps I can’t shake off.

It would be cool to have a Snapchat clone based on Briar.

Google docs because I don’t trust myself with my own data, I always end up delteting important documents cause I save them to random locations when cleaning house. Having it all in once place, with autosync, search and a nice powerful mobile interface is really convenient.

Check out NixOS Containers

Also: “NixOS’s declarative configuration allows you to define your entire system configuration, including software packages, services, and system settings, in a single configuration file.”
