What do AI and agentic commerce mean for free software? Merchants can’t just choose to be invisible in search, and they can’t just choose to be non-interoperable with LLMs.

Had that (CSR) one time, too – but quite a while ago, don't even remember exactly anymore.

Yeah, thanks for the other hints – but I'm afraid my time won't permit me working on those cosmetics. My work on IzzyOnDroid keeps me busy enough – no idea how that will fit should I get a paid $dayjob again (unfortunately I need some money for living, and all the maintenance work is still unpaid – long way until IzzyOnDroid is self-sustaining…)

So it turns out that the largest AI datacenter in the world consumes about as much water per year as ~2.5 burger joins (including water consumed in chip production). I heavily overestimated datacenter water consumption (even though I knew most people still heavily overestimated datacenter water consumption, and I underestimated it relative to most people. I also heavily underestimated how much water goes into a single burger.

There's really NO reason why a decent mid-range phone couldn't be someone's main desktop or laptop. The NexPhone is a mid-range rugged phone which connects to a monitor to be a Debian or Windows 11 PC! youtu.be/qfY5t6N8YxM

Phones are computers. I ramble on about this a lot in my videos. This phone is LITERALLY that!

SO I saw a facebook notification, and decided let's read it, I don't really go on facebook that often, but it was @countrymetalhead commenting on a post he shared, and welp just because I want to see if the reaction here on masto's different, here's the original post, now, be aware, I'm not the original author, so keep that in mind. I'm just posting it to see what others think, and what reactions I get. Now, if your still reading, your content preramble is over. here we go. hot take starts.... welp, now. Hot take:
If you think a relationship means constant texting, daily reassurance, sharing locations, checking followers, and knowing where your partner is every second of the day… you’re not in love. You’re running surveillance.

Some of y’all don’t want a partner.
You want a security blanket with a phone.

A healthy relationship doesn’t require good morning paragraphs, hourly check-ins, and “prove you love me” speeches. It requires trust, independence, and a life outside of your partner.

If your mood is ruined because your partner didn’t text back fast enough, that’s not passion. That’s insecurity.

If you need access to their phone to feel safe, that’s not loyalty. That’s control.

If you think jealousy is cute, that’s not love. That’s immaturity.

Some of you are addicted to attention and call it affection.

And before you say “my partner likes it,” just know: people accept a lot when they’re afraid of being alone.

Love isn’t about possession.
It’s about partnership.

Now let’s see who feels personally attacked.

Remember, using a native HTML `<fieldset>` / `<legend>` gets you better results in SRs than its ARIA equivalent:

My post deals with the inverse of the others I shared — unstyling the native HTML so you don’t need the ARIA construct.

Totally agree.


It's also funny that GPT uses terms like "Keep my fingers crossed" in its thinking. Do you really have fingers as an AI and why would you think that? One time it actually was thinking, "circumventing search restrictions." And the amount of times it says, "let's get this done right once and for all!" is really great, as though it were trying to be a frustrated person. All of these things give it fake realism, but we must not associate an AI thinking this way to it "being a human" - it only does so because we ourselves use these processes when thinking and it's just replicating what it knows.

Belarusian government persecutes radio amateurs and sentences operators (life sentence or death penalty is at stake). Andrey Repetiy (EW1ABT) and Nikita Krasko (EW1AEH) were forced to publicly repent for the "crime" of technical curiosity and international communication. They were coerced on TV to renounce their own technical expertise as something harmful. Vyacheslav Benko (EW1ACE) remains behind bars alongside them.

Lukashenko's propagandists presented the Belarusian Federation of Radioamateurs and Radiosportsmen (BFRR) as nothing more than a front for a "massive spy network" designed to "pump state secrets from the air." Propagandists claim that over fifty people have already been detained and more than five hundred units of radio equipment have been seized. These men have been indicted for High Treason and Espionage. Under the Belarusian Criminal Code, these charges carry sentences of life imprisonment or even the death penalty.

Nothing to do with the libraries themselves. That's probably the stupid out-dated NBPL library getting out of sync. Mine also does that, even though it's installed and in the correct place. I haven't been bothered to delete and redownload it. It's the Native Preview library in Native Access.
I bet the libraries that don't play are all the old NI libraries. Abbey Road drums, Scarbee libraries etc, etc. Anything pre-2018.

@GamingWithEars haha no breaks! I think I'm stuck on the wheel because people do write in with feedback and suggestions so then I'm like, "wow, what a great suggestion, let's jump right on seeing if we can fix it!" LOL. If I just had the project sitting here by myself that's a different story, but of course that type of feedback is what also makes things essential for tuning, so it's unavoidable.
