Most conservative Christians (at least the ones I know in LDS and evangelical circles) would be very uncomfortable with their kids watching Andrew Tate videos, yes.

I'm a security engineer dreaming of moving to a more human centric role like customer support or sales. Working in tech has been a blast but people have always been my favorite part.

As a user of local models, it's well above 85% already. I use frontier models at work and local models for home use because my day to day tasks are well within what DeepSeek can handle.

The US is responsible for over 10% of world manufacturing, putting them in second place of all countries (after China).

>When people claim that America is losing manufacturing jobs

That percentage goes down every year due to reduced manufacturing but also jobs are lost to high-tech automation in manufacturing. But it's still a buttload.

For me it was making a petpage for my neopets using https://lissaexplains.com/

It's still up in all its glory.

My favorite thing about Neovim is how easy it is to customize (I know, I know, but keep reading, it's about to get spicier) with LLMs. I got sick of Bear and Obsidian and had DeepSeek bash Vim's head in until it was the todo + calendar app of my dreams. Since OpenCode can easily interact with Vim during the terminal, it can itself test whether its changes work until it meets the criteria I set. No going back.

I'm Mormon, and doing family history research is one of my favorite church activities. Appreciate unexpectedly seeing us mentioned in a positive light online!

I feel the same way about Guix with nonguix channel enabled. NixOS is awesome but I prefer Guile to Nix's language and I enjoy the docs more. But definitely sister OSes.

This post inspired me to donate to the only video game I've played in years, PokeMMO. Btw if anyone here plays my username is ieatpears, send a friend request or whatever, I'd love to play with someone else!

I'm currently learning Kiche, a Mayan language from Guatemala. My whole life I've lived in the Americas, but only hearing European languages: Portuguese in Brazil, French in Haiti, English in the USA, and Spanish almost everywhere else. For the first time in my life I'm in a place where most conversations happen in an actual American language and it's pretty incredible. But it also makes me a bit sad. What if America had kept it's linguistic and cultural diversity like Europe and Asia got to? Even Africa came out less homogeneously Europeanized.

But no sense in crying over what could've been. I'm grateful that at least a smidgen survives.

Not as glamorous as everyone else but I'm learning Neovim to manage my todolist (replacing Obsidian). My goal is to just keep it at a single page, since instead of having power, a todo list really benefits from simplicity.

Wouldn't a personalized RSS algo be a great use case for a simple LLM?

I'm on infosec.exchange and there's plenty of content, especially since it federates so I get content from all over the fediverse. I don't mind that there are only several very large instances, since federating to them from a tiny or even personal instance is no problem.

Oh yeah well I run 500 VMs of Windows Vista each with an instance of DeepSeek botting Neopets stocks for me. I make more neopoints in a day than you'll make in USD in a year.

/s but I suppose I've developed a work flow that adapts to the RAM I've always had. I've seen people with zillions of tabs and I do wonder if it's really that much more productive than the occasional HTTP request to reopen one. I find leaving things open as a form of bookmarking clouds my mental space too much.

I do intend to have beastly RAM on my new desktop so who knows, maybe I'll be like you in a year.

I've been using 8 GB on my M3 for years as a security engineer, doing pretty heavy development. I usually have like 15 Brave tabs open, several terminals, a game (PokeMMO) and a small DeepSeek model, lots of Claude Code instances running, Obsidian, and LadyBird, among other small things. I honestly have no idea what people do with all that RAM.

If you like the core games I highly recommend PokeMMO. It's the first five games glued together into an MMO and it's free.

I wondered if this would be about PokeMMO, which I've recently started playing. Basically, they made a commercial Pokemon game by gluing the first five ROMS together, and they get around intellectual property by making players supply their own ROMs (which they assume you've acquired legally) for copyrighted assets.

It's incredibly fun. I'm pricklypears2 if anyone wants to play together. And if the devs read this, please add Mimikyu somehow I beg you <3

I was about to comment the same thing. Usually I don't call the function directly, but via the tty command in my shell scripts:

  if tty -s; then
    echo "Standard input is a TTY (interactive mode)."
  else
    echo "Standard input is not a TTY (e.g., piped or redirected)."
  fi

Now I wonder how _isatty_ itself detects whether a file descriptor is associated with a terminal!

Highly technically knowledgeable people are more influential in this sphere than the average consumer. If developers hate your device and love your competitor, that's a real problem.
