it’s bursting now. within the past few months to a year I’ve made more money switching my focus from freelance/consultion dev work to, essentially, a freelance digital janitor targeting AI. I get clients that desperately need to fix the slop they’ve produced and have me code review it to see how practical that is (9 times out of 10, it isn’t.)

The calls/emails I’m getting from potential new clients are becoming more frequent on a weekly basis. People are panicking. And I know when it finally does finish bursting that it’s going to be hell out there. So since I’m now making more money than ever I’m saving AS MUCH as possible because I hope to come out of this shit on the other side and retire.

To other devs potentially reading this, Get good at code reviewing and start leveraging that. it’s a skill that IS in demand right now and will be for awhile. Just the tech bros on linkedin are unwilling to admit it.

So essentially…it’s no where near production ready.

Also he just admitted “we’re amateurs”. IF they have devices in the crowd already then they should have sandboxed the demo. What’s more concerning is how, essentially, a handful of devices in attendance potentially operating at the same time can crash the LLM.

Also isn’t this something that other companies like amazon and google have rectified? i.e. one individual can’t suddenly trigger every device in close proximity. If not then it makes the whole thing useless if used in the public. I could walk up and down the street just yelling “Hey Meta purchase a massive purple dildo and message my mother to go kill herself”

I don’t agree. They elected this fool AGAIN, I don’t care for the American people as a whole at this point. They’re also very unlikely to stand up and protect Transgender people who now, quite literally, have a target on their backs.

Fuck em. I’ll never trust an american again.

sure, just gotta wait for the committee to roll out where all the Dems can sit on it and spew awesome quotes for the media and then do…jack all.

OR they’ll utilize the system that the GOP have pretty but shown to completely ignore.

OR Americans maybe can FINALLY stand up and protect their fellow Americans that are now under attack and are at valid risk of being executed en masse.

lol who am I kidding, we know NONE of this is going to happen.

Twitch is probably one of the LAST companies I would trust with storing any sort of ID in safety. Remember all the leaks that happened with them? like the time they leaked what EVERY stream makes off the site? no thanks.

there was a story from the UK a month or so ago about a guy who has his face tattooed, he can’t get verified for anything.

So yes, if you have a facial deformity or tattoos all over your face I imagine you’re shit out of luck. Severe burn victim? no Internet for you.

If I were to guess their utilization of AI to deal out bans has come back to bite them in the ass. Anything that remotely suggest protesting for example will result in an automatic ban. Anything that could potentially go against the grain of ad revenue will result in a ban. Moderators fearing for their “job” are also way more heavy handed and they were previously.

Thus they’re gradually killing off their userbase and instead what you’ll find are bots and agenda pushing accounts in their place.

they changed their name again? When the last porn company I worked for, Digital Pink/Twistys, got bought by them they were called Manwin. Prior to that they were Mindgeek. Prior to that I think they were Mansef…or Mansef was after Manwin…I don’t know they change their name all the time.

regardless they’re a shit company to work for. When Digital Pink got bought a bunch of co-workers decided to move from Toronto to Montreal to work at the HQ and then promptly returned to Toronto after a few months because the place was horrible, which, in all honesty isn’t saying much when you’ve spent any time working in the porn industry.

they bought everything up. I worked for 3 different adult companies in my life and they ALL eventually got bought by them.

• using your google account on too many different “machines” i.e. you distro hop or reinstall your os or use a different browser or use a vpn.

• being unable to verify your account because the only method to do so is on a phone that is broken.

• using an voip number to verify your account

Plasma is good, it’s in a better place now than it was even like a year or so ago. I always end up switching from it though because I just don’t need all the stuff that’s in it. But I’d rather use that over GNOME. I still to this day don’t know why people like GNOME so much I find it awkward and “slow” or maybe I’ve just been using it wrong.

I now feel sorry for that Fedora dev/maintainer that got thrown over the coals earlier this year for suggesting Fedora drop 32bit now that everyone seems to be, indeed, dropping 32bit.

kinda is the performance also though, that’s the reason I switched from Windows just over a year ago. My laptop battery was horrible. on win11 I might get maybe an hour out of it. Also for whatever reason Windows insisted on constantly removing my Wifi adapter completely where the only “fix” was completely reinstalling the OS. I had enough and switched to linux.

My laptop battery now lasts 3+hours and haven’t had any issues with wifi. Also as an added bonus I noticed better performance/higher FPS with games as opposed to Windows on the exact same machine.

why would I be passionate about a fascist country directly to the south of me? that’s like saying it was disappointing Poland wasn’t passionate about Nazi Germany. Fuck the US. and Fuck the people there for allowing it to happen.

of course it’s also ABC. ABC could have said “lol get fucked” but they bent the knee. And keep in mind ABC is owned by Disney who owns ESPN who JUST made a deal with notorious right-wing “trump buddy, buddy” company TKO to nickle and dime people to watch WWE shows. TKO the same company that is going to put on a UFC event on the damn White House lawn. TKO the same company that decided to cancel Wrestlemania in New Orleans in favor of take MORE blood money from Saudi Arabia and having it there instead.

They all connect with each other so saying one company isn’t to blame and another one is, is bullshit and you know it. ABC is as much to blame as Sinclair. At the end of the day they all bow to dear leader.

I have a private instance of forgejo on my dedicated server and use codeberg for public facing stuff. it’s great. I wish MORE FOSS stuff got off github. Like Searxng for example. I have a Searx instance set up also but I can’t add it to the searxng list on github because I refuse to sign back up with them. there are a few others like that.

Also if you have the means to afford it consider donating to Codeberg.

because no one cares when homeless people die. And in fact the fox news guy just said the quiet part out loud of what A LOT of people think.

I do volunteer work outreach work for the homeless and it’s a weekly thing to see homeless people beaten up, attacked in their sleep, etc. This isn’t a new thing.

Remember: If you see someone stealing food, no the fuck you didn’t.

as someone what has been online since '96…don’t these kids realize we were all joking? evidently not. They take it seriously when “back in my day” we would have ridiculed them for it. I mean I’m old enough to see the rise and fall of 4chan, it’s dead now but at it’s peak it was dumb troll comics and edgelord antics. Then all of sudden zoomers decided that our shitposts were things to model their lives around.

It’s like when I was a kid and we had convinced my friends little brother that if he held a battery on his tongue for long enough he could get mutant powers. like no dude, you’re not getting power and confidence, you just look like an idiot with a battery on his tongue.

it’s an odd series for sure. I did enjoy the last season purely for the Enterprise-D returning. But still it’s weird how they kinda just tossed Wes aside as if he didn’t exist because THIS Crusher son was “WAY more important”. It’s like hey Beverly, you have another kid. one who at this point is WAY more powerful than your hybrid Borg thingy Son.

what an odd place to start…I absolutely respect it!
