This exactly! I don’t understand how one would let an LLM touch their passion projects. I don’t mind someone quickly slopping together a little python script for something, but I would never let it touch my babies. It’d be like buying a self-assembling lego set. Sure the end result is the same, but is the end result why someone buys a lego set?

I have this small Philips mp3 player with 4GB space I bought for 2 euros at a thrift store and it is gloriously offline!

A better tomorrow starts with YOU.

Good!

Me personally, I’d get a burner smartphone in a drawer just for banking that is on airplane mode 24/7 except when I need it for banking and use a dumbphone for everything else. Also, I run linux and I have strict control over my router and I have ZERO subscriptions and creditcards. It’s not much but it’s something. Beats blindly rimming apple and alphabet.

Been misgendered as “egg” too many times. No, I’m nb, but thanks for implying I’m something I’m not.

This mentality is so gross. “Well might as well roll over and get pounded in the A by big corpo! what else am I going to do, right? Hehe!”

I feel your pain. Hang in there!

All the cool people are leaving reddit and coming here, leaving only dumb people and LLM “agents”.

It’s probably more because I don’t allow telemetry and I doubt I’m alone.

Sweet, I hate jobs!

I want to see AI turn boring white male game protagonists into awesome POC ladies!

yeah we dutchies got our own killswitches and madmen ready to push the button

You don’t need no windows for no gaming, this isn’t 2015 jesus

You don’t need passkeys if you don’t have anything important to steal, or any accounts on anything you would feel sad to lose. Just cancel all your subscriptions and sail the high seas! Nobody likes you anyway!

Assuming my wife would be gone so I’d probably grieve for a very long period. Or is there a way to go back? Or is she there too? MARIE??? WHERE ARE YOU MARIE???

If people are gonna try NetBSD, please be aware of the “sysinst” command, it makes starting out a lot easier.

That’s a lie, you simply run “sysinst” and select “install pkgin” from a curses menu. sysinst can also help you setup a wifi connection and other basic user config things from the comfort of a TUI.

See that’s just a regular tuesday for me.
