It would the first scenario you described… i’d just interact with a chatbot occasionally like I do with chatgpt now…but I’d also like to try to experiment with copilot like models to test and use with vscode. So no training of models or 24/7 batch operations.

I was wondering whether a custom built gaming PC is the only solution here or if there are other cjeaper alternatives that get the job decently done

yeah… US should really outsource their bomb production somewhere, where they care about quality control

This is exactly what pisses me off about all of this… it’s 2024, we see live footage on various platforms, and the “leaders” make eurovision-like decisions all over the past few months.

It’s not 1945 where they used to make decisions based on hearsay, its 2024 ffs, with live footage.

They spread fakenews about beheaded babies without any proof and justified the killings. But the footage that clearly shows acts of crime isn’t remotely considered to stop this cruelty.

yeah let’s nuke everyone who’s committed some form of genocide in the past few (50, 100, 1000) years… until we’re just left with people living on some unpronounceable islands.

And then Russia? And we all live in peace happily ever after?

Then what?

Easy… Anything that criticizes Israel is non-credible, and everything else that excuses civilian deaths as “hamas hiding behind civilians” is credible.

where’s the “N”?

nope

especially those who think it’s a good idea to post important updates on X.

Sure, but I was talking about the basic concept of how things work in general to keep it simple for OP.

in a nutshell

This is how the control and information exchange of smart devices work:

Phone App -> [Server] … [Server] -> Smart Device and vice versa

There’s no way around this concept.

Now, Google gives you the phone app and the (public) server part. but these only work with their servers and apps, keeping you locked in.

HA gives you the same, a server and an app, but allows you to keep the server private (access via vpn for public)

Also who guarantees that Google Home will be there in the next few years? HA will still keep running even if it ever gets abandoned.

The project is in an too early phase to debate over SystemD. Can you guys please hold back with these arguments until pmOS reaches at least 4% market share.

I used to freelance for a big corp who used MS teams and provided me with separate credentials, while also having my private MS account, that I occasionally use for other corps I worked for.

It was a hell using it that way. I had to run each one in a private Brave window to be able to work on two different accounts.

I know they only use MS teams, bc their infra is all based on MS, and it probably works fine for them internally. But man, this shit needs to be fixed in some way to account for external people, especially the ones who chose their own stack and work simultaneously with others.

Nope to TikTok since I don’t want an algo deciding what I get to see and what not, and this sounds identical to Instagram, more or less

Don’t you dare telling 'em how to defend themselves.

How can a country not recognize international law, but I have to pay taxes, which in turn are used to support lawbreakers?

I wouldn’t mind hosting my own search engine. But I’ll give it a go for a month or two. The 300 results seem generous enough

well, not on every cookie banner

currently not much, and none of the *arrs, since I have my own app built for streaming

• vaultwarden
• adguard
• filebrowser
