Not true, they want api keys for Gemini, grok, OpenAI or whatever closed source slop they can find, don’t you remember when they were shilling for that anime grok girl? The only open source shit they use is stable diffusion or similar stuff so they can generate loli anime pornography slop.
Also, some of them shill AI as if it was the great equalizer but they never create anything of value, just polluting slop.
>>
>>107670338
there's more than one person on /g/, it's also possible to like some ai stuff and not others.
there's a difference between a thread about running local models that talks about hardware, training and the like, and this "your year with chatgpt" which shouldn't be on /g/ at all, as there's no technology discussion
>>
>>107670366
This is why there should be AI board. People were asking for it back in 2022 and AI only became more invasive into everyone’s lives.

>theres more than one person on /g/
True but it seems that most original /g/entoomen left and now we have Indian tourists.
>local models
I agree that threads about local models are fine including their hardware and optimization, however, those threads are quite small compared to Ai baits, Ai shills, aislop pornposting, etc
Most threads about Ai aren’t even discussing about technology itself, and /g/ is filled with those threads
>>
>>107670376
yea, an AI board is something i'm surprised hasn't happened yet
oh and i do also agree that threads full of mostly generated images with little discussion also shouldn't be here, there are other boards for that

My experience with Scarlett devices is that their drivers are horrendous and unstable beyond comprehension in the modern computing landscape and I would never suggest anyone to inflict themselves with that pain.

I don't know if the small interfaces like that one use standard USB audio drivers or if they also need the special sauce custom driver. You should do some research on that I guess, if it needs the special Focusrite driver then stay the fuck away.

I use QubesOS with detached boot partition on 2 duplicated USB drives with any data that rests on the SSD/HDDs being encrypted with LUKS2. Whonix gateway is proxied through a VPN qube to hide Tor IPs (can't hide communication patterns) without bridges since bridge IPs can be farmed. Sometimes Tor through I2P outproxy or vice-versa or with different anonymizing network overlays. Clients used for browsing are only opened in on-RAM ephemeral qubes with no access to permanent storage. Attack surface is quite minimum since no extra things added like USB mouse and no PV qubes (aside from sys-usb and sys-net) are used for launching HVM qubes with qemu stub domains unless very necessary and every other qube on the system gets shut down first to keep information leakage minimum. A veracrypt volume with hidden storage on a permanent qube for data storage and plausible deniability.

what's your setup like?

I use Windows 10 LTSC and use Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security to block all inbound/outbound connections except for a few custom-made "allow" rules, such as Windows Time, DHCP, DNS, SMB, Remote Desktop, Microsoft Edge, and some specific svchost.exe services to keep Windows Updated and secure.

I bought a refurbished acer laptop off ebay. It has windows 11 on and it required me to make an account to start. Okay fine. A couple days later I'm getting emails that my account has had unauthorized access multiple times and even my linkedin was accessed. They completely locked me out of my account. Fucking pajeet bastards. Coincidence or I'm thinking the gained access because of the new laptop? I don't even like windows 11, should I just install a new windows 10 on it? Not sure what to do.

A few of you may have discovered today that thumbnails suddenly stopped loading in Firefox. I did.
Checking the browser console, I found errors for each thumbnail in the catalog which said "A resource is blocked by OpaqueResponseBlocking, please check browser console for details."
After disabling browser.opaqueResponseBlocking in about:config, those error messages turned into 403's and the images would still not load.
I did a desuarchive search for Firefox and found a post in /trash/ saying "I figured it out. 4chan is now asking for referrers when requesting images from 4cdn... TL:DR; 4chan wants to know where you were before loading an image." along with a screenshot of all about:config settings with the word "referer" in them.
With the help of that screenshot, I pinpointed the issue to network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy in about:config, which I had set to 2 for whatever reason, I don't know. Setting it to 0 fixed the problem.
Most of you on Firefox probably won't experience this since 0 is the default setting.
So, for those of you also experiencing this issue, there's the fix, and now the fix is on desuarchive for others to find.
Feel free to discuss the technological/privacy ramifications of this change by 4chan, or if the /trash/ poster's analysis is correct.

it wasn't like this before, truth is most jobs don't really require a college degree, however there was a time when a college degree meant something, it was a sign that you are more intellectually aligned and are more capable of doing certain type of official tasks.

True, I am describing basically describing degree inflation. I blame both what you are referring to (high graduations as fields develop and become influential, and a response to the drops in graduate quality afterwards) and plain managerial cultural preference.

this is because the linux foundation never bothered to make their own sanctioned distro with the blessing of linus torvalds.
Notice how the BSDs don't have this issue?
That is cause these distros aren't linux as an OS but seperate OSes all doing their own clown shoe thing that just so happen to have the linux kernel.
The only saving grace to this hell hole will be steamOS since valve has pretty much already perfected package distribution unlike the zoo of most distros.
Theres a reason linux games don't release as snap,flatpaks or debs.. it's cause steam has already solved tthe issue and those are imperfect solutions. Hell even libre applications that aren't games are on steam like krita and blender.
At some point all linux apps will be steam apps. All because the macfag incharge of the linux foundation was too busy sucking corporate cock instead of helping fix linux.

Hi, I really like the Linux mentality and all Linux offer. I’m switching to Linux for my personal use and I’m very happy for that. But now, i want to switch my association to Linux. I’m a IT technician and I know the war of the data, the GAFAM… We use Windows because the people say: - "it’s more simple" - we use that every days and for personal use - 0 advantage to switch to Linux - what’s the data privacy? It’s not important for us - stop with your mentally of geek - Linux doesn’t work - Linux is the geeks users / IT users - bla-bla-bla and bla-bla-bla…

Please help me find arguments to convince them. I know that Linux is a really good solution and works very well, but I can't sell the idea itself. Please excuse my grammar, English is not my native language.

>>107670268
Unless your job depends on switching your company to Linux, don't bother. It's going to be a headache and too many things could go wrong. The exception would be for things like server hosting, then Linux is probably objectively better than Windows if you know how to manage it.
If it just works, don't be that guy who tries to change stuff and make it difficult for other people.

I am having a bit of a moment. I'm currently making a sidescroller with the help of ChatGPT. After doing so many motions, you sort of get the hang of it. So now, after so many weeks and months of thinking "oh, well, maybe if i did this, or how could we make this happen?" Basically rubber duckying the fucking thing I get to the answer an okay bit of the time.
But my question is is this bad? I feel like I am making progress and learning but I dont want the stigma that is "LMAO AI coded this game!!"

Are these things even worth it anymore? I have the original 8GB pic related. Now the 16GB is almost $170 and the HAT is pretty useless though its done a 2x street price since launch. I could get a lattepanda or something. I like the idea of a Pi5 16GB: enough memory and processor to run better/larger LLMs off 2.5W at ~1 token/sec. Even a solar battery. It's cool to have a philosopher in a box like that. The tinker side GPIO and stuff doesn't interest me for personal projects. Anyway should I just get a Jetson Nano or N150 or something.
