Chatters, is this AI?


30x as much golf even.


These also come with a 5G subscription. Not saying it justifies the price, and I don’t know what that would cost separately. But some of these prices are less than the cost of an ISP plan.


If the fediverse were to collapse, I’d be done. Its the one thing worth being hopeful about right now.


It should be everyones moral responsibility to grow a dick, if only so that homeland security can suck it.

Not gonna make a lick of difference without the support to run CUDA.
Solar punk or solar authoritarianism?
Solar punk is “real” as in, plenty people living off grid on solar, catchment, whatever. China does seem to be making whatever theyre doing become a thing. And its great. Cheap energy probably the most effective path to world peace. If we can get the price to “effectively 0” we can solve just about everything.


Vibe coding is a black hole. I’ve had some colleagues try and pass stuff off.
What I’m learning about what matters is that the code itself is secondary to the understanding you develop by creating the code. You don’t create the code? You don’t develop the understanding. Without the understanding, there is nothing.


Passing versions back and forth with comments and track changes. Basic details around formatting. Again, I don’t blame LO, I blame MS, but its simply more straightfoward to work in native office.


I will consider this. I don’t have a problem paying for software. So this seems potentially viable. It also seems potentially un/under tested for my use case. I really can-not have the situation where things dont basically “just work” with regards to document collaboration.


Yeah. I use LibreOffice for everything but my professional writing. I can’t use it for that. It simply doesn’t play nice in a manner I can rely on for professional collaboration when everyone else is using either native microsoft office or office on apple.
If I lived in a world where everyone was on libreoffice, it probably would be fine. And I don’t blame LO for the issue, I think MS specifically makes their product hard to cooperate with. But that doesn’t resolve the issue of passing drafts back and forth with collaborators.


So I start the VM when I need it, use the app I need, shut it back down. The VM has no internet access, only a designated VLAN with no outbound, and any documents going to or from I use a thumb drive. Excessive, yeah, but its how things work for me.
This was my thinking, but office suite, and the documents would get saved to the NAS. How do you manage it as a VM? Are you using proxmox or similar? Do you use a setup script of somekind? What version of microsoft? Keys?
