Re: Framework, but also extrapolating more generally? If your moderation policy, your community stewardship approach, your whole way of interacting with people isn't robust to literal Nazis trying to fuck with your shit, then it just does not work in 2025.
I don't care if you call it a CoC, the paradox of tolerance, or what, but you *need* a strategy for how to tell Nazis to fuck off.
Nazis aren't just clumps of pixels you shoot in Wolfenstein, they're real, actual, malicious fucking people doing shit like tearing down the actual, literal White House. There's a pretty good chance that, if you're responsible for a community you love and care about, some real-life fucking Nazis will show up and start testing your boundaries, checking whether they can subvert your strategy.
So don't wait for that shit, get out in front of it and be prepared to tell them to fuck off.
In the Framework case, "you can't call people Nazis" is a terrible moderation policy that serves to tell Nazis that they're completely at home in that community. They are completely shielded from any critique that accurately describes their views, actions, and political allegiance.
That fits perfectly with the fascist methodology of destroying truth. No matter your intentions, that policy might as well be a "Nazis Welcome" sign on the front door.
Fuck AI. That is all for today. I might not even buy a new computer for at least a ddecade if this AI hardware is all they cram into their chips. No way. Right now, the difference from a 2023 era to a 2025 processor is the addition of more powerful NPUs, just so Windows or whatever browser can use it. No thanks. For performance, there's about a 20% uplift today, but is that 20% right now worth it to sacrificing your soul to the NPU which now monitors every action you do and sounds, maybe later camera of your machine to know what's around it? Wow, just wow. (side-note: It's not the NPU that's the issue, it's the way it gets used. Linux won't sell you out the same way, for example.) If you would have told me computing was taking a darker turn like this 10 years ago, I wouldn't have believed it. With these more powerful AI chips, things like Click-to-Do in Windows and other wild changes, to me it's not looking bright at all.
OMG. I just got that GPU. Yes. I use it over OCULink. It's decent even for 20B models, I'd say 27B and above struggles, but for 20B, 14B, it's very snappy. There's another one, the "ONEXGPU 2-2nd Generation eGPU Graphic Card Dock Expansion Card with AMD Radeon RX 7800M, 12GB GDDR6 " - it's a step up, but man, it goes for like $1000. Oof. So I think for the price (around $500) the 7600M isn't a bad deal at all. I also tried it over thunderbolt, it's not bad, you do lose a bit of the performance which can be noticed on larger models. So OCULink is the way to go if you have a port for it on your PC, but Thunderbolt 3 will do in a pinch (although you'll need a cable as it doesn't come with one, only type-C to HDMI)
@Blobsta yeah, while the 780M inside this Rizen 9 is really good, could probably pump out 1080P at low-to-medium frame rates, I think over thunderbolt you can get solid 1440P at medium on the 7600M in most cases. So you should still see a bit of an uplift in games even over Thunderbolt I'd think.
@flyingpenguinMwauthzyx @Blobsta it definitely is. Well, since they have dedicated Cuda cores for it. But Radion has RDNA and ROCm which is really workable for quantized models. You probably won't do heavy training, but inferencing is a lot easier.
@danestange yeah, I have the M4Pro, and at least even if you enable Apple Intelligence a lot of what it then gets used for is under your control. But then I begin to use VoiceOver and realize how clunky things are with it, like the terminal and such, and give up on Mac after about 6-8 hours of using it. Sigh. So no platform is perfect right now, in fact it's gotten more imperfect as time goes on.
Yeah, no operating system is perfect. What if linux can be the next wave? That'd be fun!! Wouldn't it? What about linux? Though it also has it's shite, wayland or whatever it's called is garbazh, in fact of facts, raspberry pi OS desktop is quite disconnected from orca, it's almost like it steals orca from speaking, almost mutes it somehow in not so conventional way. Mac OS yes it's weird. Though I've used an m1 mac as primary since 2021. I don't know how, I mean I just use voiceOver despite its weird quirks. I love that I can use braille in the recovery menu, just like with some linux distros with BRLTTY but even then. In the perfect world, in 5 years there'll be a very good linux OS blind users will love, maybe it'll be a version of stormux or something. Maybe the perfect world isn't even required for that, just more work on linux accessibility from the smart coder folks or whoever builds these things. Stormux is one arch linux distro that I really do like. I'd love to install linux on a partition on my m1 mac a lot, do you know how fun that'd be?? I wish though that I could use my mantis q40 or ereader with a bluetoothed orca. What do you think about the humanware ereader? I'm about to maybe turn my new sandisk ultraflare 256 gig 20 dollar flash drive into a portable OS because why not? Why not cary a nice little backup of stormux gaming with an extrashit partition with some music and bookies and recordings and shit? On a plane, bring the little flashdrive entertainment set with a tiny pi4? Hmm and things. You're awesome. I'd love to grab a copy of twper2, the windows 7 Iso thing. Oh wait, you're not Brian smart. I also want to take this time to tell you thank you for hosting all of those virtual machines like the Windows XP one, the ice cream sandwich thing, all those crazy things on eurpod. I remember talking with chris wright on skype and he told me about eurpod and I used it to learn about windows 2000, all that. I am 24, born in 2000, and being able to play with old computing is fun because I can try to understand how the way of the world was back then for the blind.
@AeonCypher Fair point! Yes, the way the NPU is used is what matters, of course, I find it a bit funny that they usually quote it in Int8 TOPS but for Int16 models which tend to be the ones used a lot quantized right now, those NPUs would still be fairly useless. Linux will probably be the only OS that gives you control over how and when it's used and if you choose to install AI things that can do so.
You can buy a decent Mini PC with a 6000 or 7000 series Ryzen APU that does not have this still quite easily, I am not sure if the 8000 series Ryzen have a Npu or not.
Honestly, I absolutely understand your point. I don't whant to pay for AI hardware that i don't even really use. The problem is: You have to. If you need A new pc, you have really no other option than getting A computer with this NPU nonsense.
And honestly: I do think the NPU is nonsense. Apple for example claims that apple inteligence helps really much, and does it? No, actually not. If this inteligence actually becomes inteligent, it might look different, but for now, its crap that's just good for marketing purposes.
So if you're a Microsoft Office subscriber and you just got a notice that the price went up.
Know that the price didn't really go up. What is happening is that they are now charging you for Copilot.
You can opt-out by cancelling your subscription. When you do, they will offer a Office365 "classic" option which is at the previous price and doesn't include Copilot.

Did you hear? The U.S. Secret Service is concerned about people impersonating President Trump, so whenever he needs to access sensitive information, they ask him three security questions. If he gets all of them wrong, they know it's really him.
I read every single post in this forum thread, oh yes, every single one, and a few folks had to be banned because they were bigots, but Framework really wants Nazis to know they are welcome for some reason.
Hey everyone, We want to share some clarity on how moderation will work for this thread going forward. This thread will be an exception to our usual community guidelines in other channels.
If we can show a correlation here with number of planets curl runs on we can extrapolate that curl is primarily meant interplanetary previous-metals mining and only incidentally for web requests.
Just read up on Spotify.... and Helsing which the CEO Daniel Ek is developing with the money that should be going to musicians, it is a terrifying AI trained weaponry company and that's on top of Trump donations, pro-ICE funding & advertising, and so much more, Daniel Ek is a truly despicable person.
Just get rid of Spotify, just do it, cancel subscriptions.
again, it's incredibly frustrating how everyone in the FOSS linux sphere that actually makes things is underpaid or an unpaid volunteer contributor or close to burn out and every project is constantly out of resources but if you're a racist clout chaser a bunch of people will send money to you and defend their god given right to send money to racist clout chasers

Open question: anyone know of any friendly D&D groups in #Vienna (German or English) that would welcome my curious 14yo neurodiverse daughter? She has no experience but I'm sure would be keen to learn..
@eikaron We had pretty good experience with Wienxtra last Friday. We came there with the youth group of one of the blindness organizations and the game master was very accommodating to us being absolute beginners.
I'll just gamble like the entire industry and hope it will be a null pointer when using rustls on mips and doing a PATCH over HTTP/1.1 Since nobody is ever going to do that, were fine.

Article from the C64 magazine "Svenska Hemdator Nytt" from 1989 about the demo group Horizon that a bunch of friends and me ran. The original Swedish speaking article and a machine translated English version.
@foosel nah. I left the demo scene in the early 1990s and eventually gave away all my remaining c64s etc. I get regular requests from friends and people "from the old days" to do a comeback with a demo at some point, but I feel I have so much to do and focus that are current and "more real" that I am unlikely to ever do that. I think.
But I still appreciate having had that time and experience in my life. It quite literally made me the person I am today and I learned so much.
I'm sure it's the nostalgia speaking but I do have fond memories of cutting my teeth writing assembly to push pixels and abuse the hardware. An era when the entire annotated listing for TOS was in the back of a book and you could read and understand most of it. @foosel
And yeah, there are still some things in my past that made me who I am and that are no longer a part of my life or not something I can find the time for as well.
Priorities might change, but some leave us touched forever 😊
@foosel so you never continued on the Amiga? I was hoping to have an ST vs. Amiga flamewar with you. 😀
Jokes aside (our ST group has made Amiga demos, can you believe it?), have attended any retro demoscene events in later years? It can be incredibly fun, even if you didn't actually code anything.
@loke @foosel I did move on to the Amiga after the C64, and I did some early demo stuff on that as well but for me the fun and level of challenge was not present on that machine. I instead switched to learning C on that machine and wrote a text editor: FrexxEd. Imported into GitHub by someone some fifteen years ago: github.com/vidarh/FrexxEd
I wrote a separate scripting language for the editor called FPL. Later reused in the IRC bot I worked on, Dancer...
FrexxEd is a flexible Amiga text editor with scripting support, ARexx, multiple views, built in filesystem handler for open buffers and more - vidarh/FrexxEd
The Atari ST was much more like the C64. Esp. the removal of borders, where the first one to do it on the ST tried various tricks inspired by how it was done on the C64 even.
@pawandubey I honestly don't know. I think maybe Kjell might have a copy - I know I don't... The game was entirely playable and even quite fun, we just didn't have the discipline to take it all the way to a complete and finished product. We were still teenagers back then.
If you (or Kjell) ever put it online again I'd love to try it out. Don't have access to a real C64 so maybe through an emulator, or through one of those copycat/revival machines that have come up recently.
Bob Marley's emergence in the 1970s was part of the rise of reggae as a global musical genre. I could have picked one of his are politically tracks, but this is one of the tracks that cemented his reputation far from the reggae aficionados. Its a lovely lilting rhythm with an organ riff at its centre & the Waliers doing a great job of backing Marleys's distinctive voice. Still fab!
A different author, after waiting 5 months without a reply, presents the same basic idea (answer me, damn it!), though with greater deference (this time in 1854):
"I have the honor to inform you, with all due respect, that I have, since that time, been anxiously expecting to be favored with an answer on the subject, but having been disappointed in my expectations so far, I find it necessary again to submit the matter for your consideration."

It was fun patching DTS, compiling FreeBSD from source and making it run on Nanopi R2S Plus. However, unfortunately, progress is not always smooth. There was a bug that affected one of my ports. This bug has not been resolved.
But it was fun! Thank you for the great experience.
@feld nanopi r2s plus has secondary port for LAN. this port is basically a USB-to-Gigabit kind of device. the first port (WAN) is a dedicated ethernet, so it is working flawless.
if you're comfortable with borrowing an IP from a VPS that may have good-enough of a reputation, do that with a VPN so you can keep the mail server at home. You can even put a cloud VPS IP directly on your server at home if you do proxy arp over the VPN.

You might wonder why is the missile called Dana. Let's explain and share the #story.
There once was a woman leading nuclear safety administration. As soon as #Russia invaded #Ukraine and attacked #nuclear power plants, people were worried about radioactive dangers from this #war.
This woman started doing simple, yet clear reports everyday stating "Situation with #radiation in Ukraine is normal" with few more words about what's going on there at this moment. With her really specific humor she always knew who is the bad guy and never was afraid of saying so. She also co-founded the #WeaponsToUkraine / #GiftForPutin initiative.
This woman - called Dana #Drábová - passed away 6th October this year and will be missed badly. Yet - thanks to her name and kindness of people from #Czechia we managed to raise such a ridiculous amount of money again to fight against oppression from Russian criminals.
For a few years I've been aware of this website that purports to be able to unlock shopping cart wheels using the speaker on your phone, but i finally had an excuse to try and and i remembered in the moment.

I remembered the website! So I put my phone near the wheels and played the sound. The wheels unlocked like magic. She was very happy. So cool.
