New PSA from Black Panther Party

@ObsidianUrbex @jiri.kalina@pixelfed.cz

I tried boosting on mine to see if it would update but it still shows the old image.

Very curious bug, I wonder how often it happens and we don’t notice. Text updates seem to propagate fairly quickly in comparison.

@jiri.kalina@pixelfed.cz @ObsidianUrbex If you view the post on mstdn.social it shows the fixed picture. My Instance and I guess others, still shows the older cached error message/white image. Guess we just have to wait and see if/when our respective servers update.

I’m planning on attempting to spin off some services using a pretty low end mini-pc and a cable modem. A lot of people are still stuck with only cable as an option and that tends to come with heavily limited upload speeds so my plan is to see what the limits are on a typical 50mbps upload in terms of running services like jellyfin or pleroma. A lot of this stuff is already easily run over Tor so a 50mbps connect should be more then enough for a handful of users.

I love how organic the growth of this project has been so far. I’m not sure how active everyone is but seeing over 100+ users a month, with new sign ups on things regularly is pretty great.

My main goal is to encourage other people to run things at home, and I’m trying to do that in the most slacker friendly way possible.

It’s been suggested that #Minneapolis residents should water their yards with the sprinkler turned way up, just before sundown.

My question is how do we get more Ronalds to join the resistance against corporations, so the Gates and Jobs get put in their place and remembered as nothing more then wealth hoarding gatekeepers.

Mew hurt one of his toe-beans the other day and is now stuck in wearing the cone-of-shame for a while. Poor buddy #catsofmastodon

@mynameistillian You might want to follow https://github.com/Vatuu/silent-hill-decomp , it doesnt have a release yet but when it does it will probably be the best way to play the original.

The thing with Maduro being arrested in his own country and brought to USA to face changes really puts all those sovereign citizen “lawyers” into an interesting position. Like sure their arguments are complete non-sense but even if they where valid, how are you going to argue anything other then “might makes right” in a world where you can just kidnap a head of state and charge them with wanting machine guns.

Narco Terrorism i sort of understand, but how tf do you charge a head of state with both owning a machine gun and the conspiracy to own more machine guns? Is that just like so they have something to offer to drop in a plea bargain?

After discovering (Hypermind)[https://github.com/lklynet/hypermind] and the accompanying HACS plugin, I have surrendered control of my living room lights to the swarm.

So today I learned that fd can mass delete hundreds of files at once… and also my trash folder has at least a bajillion duplicate files

Apparently, there is a sticker version, too.

The internet was not a mistake
Social media was not a mistake

Allowing Corporations to dictate and control both of these things was the mistake.

The Electricity Bill Nobody Can Pay:The Mathematics of an AI Collapse

Archived Link

This is exactly why i encourage everyone, even the “haters” to just use the fuck out of all these AI companies, keep lighting their money on fire with stupid pointless slop, when it all crashes and burns we’ll have some really decent LOCAL LLMs that can run on a cell phone if you want them to.

“The math doesn’t work. It has never worked. It will never work.

The free tier era of AI is ending. Not because the technology failed, but because physics and economics are unyielding.

When it ends, we’ll face a choice: pay $20–40/month for closed models, or pay $200–400/year to run open models ourselves.

The math suggests most people will choose the latter. Not out of ideological preference, but because it’s 10–50x cheaper.

The $600 billion bet was that AI could be a consumer product at scale. The electricity bill alone proves it can’t be — at least not as a free service.

We have about 12–18 months before the math forces everyone’s hand.”

Really silly how tidal keeps blocking some of the VPN servers I use, I just end up switching to soulseek instead and realizing its way better.
