I voted for Harris

It is the DNCs fault Trump won.

The DNC has spent years kinda sorta offering enough social and popular policy. And then half heartedly pushing it, but ultimately giving up when there’s resistance because it’s better to promise those changes then actually do them.

Abortion rights for example. That’s been a carrot on a stick for decades and it ultimately was attacked and the Biden admin didn’t get it codified or push for a new federal legalization.

Or student loan forgiveness. He kinda pushed it and then the courts said nu-uh so it died.

I’ll admit they did do lots of cool stuff but they didn’t do anything that an actually progressive candidate would do, but they promised they would. This has kept an actual lefty progressive candidate off the ballet for decades and this cycle of ineffective, dispassionate campaign apathy has failed to get anyone enthused to vote.

“People should just vote! It’s their duty! They shouldn’t need to be excited to vote!”

Okay but consider. They weren’t enthused. They didn’t vote for another useless Democrat. Trump won.

It’s the DNCs fault because this is the second time they’ve ran a candidate less progressive then Obama and just hoped the strategy of “You should want to vote for the first Woman president! Please ignore she did terrible in the primaries or all why we didn’t do another primary”

I want someone to prove his LLM can be as insightful and accurate as paid one.

Are you using LLMs as search engines?

Bold.

I use Gemma, LLama 3.2, and Deepseek to either fix formatting, summarize documentation to give me commands for Linux software, and write simple code structure for me to refine into working code.

Sure it takes longer to generate than a cloud compute would, but

1. privacy obviously. I know you dismissed it but that’s really the biggest reason anyone will have.

2. this feels better environmentally. I actually don’t know if that’s true, but it objectively touches less computers for such simple tasks. It would be wasteful of infrastructure to do it over the web.

3. it’s just cooler to have a conversation with my computer. I’ve learned a lot about how the whole process works and that’s more valuable to me as a non dev than just getting the end results.

Missed the lore.

Why boycott .ml ?

My “production” home lab is 3 Optiplex 3050 with i7-7700. They work great and are pretty low power.

We are not the same

They didn’t say they’re poorly dressed. Just ugly

Got any recs? I can generally talk my company into paying for most anything education wise, but Udemy style courses work with my ADHD the best.

Thanks! I’m still on reddit brain.

Yes! Gods damn it. I had that up an everything on my second monitor.

Enough that there’s a serious spike in VPN sales during the porn age restriction wave.

I doubt NordVPN and friends would see that if EVERY single lemmy instance got banned.

Texas wants what the EU and California have so bad.

The best punishment is undoing their damage and teaching their sins to future generations as a warning.

And using their Graves as a gender neutral bathroom when we wanna scratch the sadistic justice itch

Beautiful redundancy. My one true love

$1000-$1100 is still a lot to ask of me specifically, but that is closer to market IMHO

I haven’t had a prime sub in 5 years. It’s not been worth it in a while.

What good is the convenience of having everything on the same website if I have to determine if it’s fake or not?

I don’t really care unless it has the same price point as the 8gb one.

But we all know it won’t be.
