Hell yeah. I tried to train one to feed me misinformation and encourage bad habits like drinking and driving and it was a lot more fun and lively than anything else I’ve seen

Yeah I feel like having control over the things you use is definitely a big part. Something that really hampers my enthusiasm for AI is that so much of it is out of my control and generally disconnected from me.

Having AI that I can modify and run locally on my devices seems a lot more sci-fi than something that can relies so heavily on the Internet and rigid responses.

I find it’s a lot of those ideal use cases I find futuristic. The RISC V architecture and Briar are kind of similar. They’re really neat and I could see some cyberpunk style uses for them but the drive for their adoption and the level of it just doesn’t seem to be there yet.

I feel like that really depends on how you view futuristic.

I think things with colored e-ink displays, USB C chargeable AA batteries, handheld emulators, 2230 NVMe drives, and USB C power portable displays are really cool but I feel like their availability these days has made them lose a bit of their futuristic luster. They would have blown my mind when I was a kid.

More niche products like Meshtastic and ESP32 Marauder devices are things I view as futuristic (and can be found for under $100).

Yeah. I feel like the headline also misrepresented the extent of what happened.

But the firm rejected claims about the extent of the damage caused by the unnamed individual, saying they “contain some exaggerations and inaccuracies”

Is probably the key takeaway and a good summary of what the article is about

I don’t think it’s a bad idea. I’ve used a lot of controllers in the past that have felt worse than the controls on Anbernics handhelds. If they are willing to switch things up and breakaway from the typical from the typical Switch Pro controller look a lot of third party companies use I think it could be cool

Valent is a KDE Connect Client for GTK desktops and I want to see if I can get it to work with my living room PC. It’s basically so I can use my phone as a mouse.

I’m also reinstalling all my Starred Valley mods on my Steam Deck after I installed Bazzite GNOME on it. There’s about 50 I think and there’s a lot of dependencies that apparently prevent me from just downloading them all from my Nexus Mods download history page and raw dogging them into my mods folder.

For those that want some additional details Brodie Robertson created a video on what was happening 3 weeks ago on how things were going into the lead up to this. Here’s the link. It’s 16 minutes long and kind of funny. It shows how mismanaged things were from the beginning

Was that recently?

It’s more the need aspect you mentioned that I’m talking about. People living with what works or is good enough. I feel like it can be totally be intentional. I imagine a lot of people just sleep with a mattress on the floor because they don’t feel like a bed frame is necessary for example.

Where people draw the line is one of the things I’d find interesting if that makes sense

What would be something homey but not presentable?

I get you. I rarely have other people over. I feel like if I had to start over, like if my place burnt down, I would live more like that

Gotcha. I feel like they might have the recliner there to potentially have easy access to the counter and outlet that’s also nearby

It’s like how a lot of parents these days don’t think their “jailbroken” Firestick is pirating

Would the collection just keep growing or would you delete content? Maybe periodically so if you haven’t watched the new Bettlejuice movie within a couple weeks it would get deleted? Maybe they wouls hold onto stuff until you’ve got it and watched it?

The idea of versioning it with your family stash is neat

Like the post says this isn’t my place it’s a really common meme and meme template. I’m looking for communities of people who live like this.

It’s kind of minimalist but without the stressed cleanliness and lack of all clutter

I feel like that’s 3/4 well furnished full spaces and the last quarter is people posting after getting divorced

It did help me find MaleSurvivingSpace which seems a bit more like what I was describing with people having more of just the essentials without clutter

Could errors during the flashing process be dangerous though or would it just mean trying again until it works?

I’m guessing it’s either an issue with the latency or internal resistance of the wires (as someone else mentioned) so unless I’m cutting and splicing the wires I don’t think that will matter

It’s not an issue. Just a meme that’s common and demonstrates kind of what I’m after.

The person who owns that living room might just have gone after a really comfy chair over a couch which might be more typical for example. It feels kind of within the realm of minimalism and more focused on the utility of the space
