@jzb @A_Minion Without a doubt, my own work is not stellar and I review it many times before publishing & mistakes still will show from time to time. I empathize.
My biggest concerns are our educational system (that possibly failed this writer) but mostly the editor that should be reviewing submissions. I know I was always happy to have an editor review my work and a fact checker to double check. #Alaska became a State in 1959.
I am not sure how Territory to State is like County to Country though.

@jzb Ooh, I want to see a real council of cats. Each one has his own set of cat communication buttons. Then they vote on things or something. This idea is only partly baked...

Every time I actually fact checked these "WAAAH DATACENTRES" actual numbers, and I've done this three times already, this is what I found;
1. The numbers include estimates of future loads
2. The numbers purposefully conflate the #Ai #datacenters with the existing Datacentres, "the cloud" your #AWS , Facebook, Dropbox, Netflix, iCloud etc and yes your #Mastodon servers. Which at the last check is about 50/50 but it's hard to get real data.
3. The water consumption is very poorly presented often conflating water use with water destruction
4. The numbers often pick a comparison that sounds terrible but in the global scale is fuck all.
Like "AI uses as much water as the city of New York!!!!!!!!!!"Having said that the trend of #broligarchs just slapping down methane emergency generators on the perimeter running 24/7 is just criminal.
TLDR; The "WAAAH DATACENTRES" "journalism" really depends on the personal bias of the author

@jzb Anybody who bothers looking up can see the #enshittification at the horizon. Clearly, some people don't want you to look up. #DontLookUp

@jzb I do agree and your last paragraph here is 💯 on the mark.
Sadly I'm not convinced that Debian is a good user experience.
We're losing the quality/features/experience war because a shiny mac book actually has really good battery life and a pretty good user experience.
People unwilling to pay for Free Software is a major unsolved problem. I think I know a lot about this space both with #mgmtconfig and also with working because of working at AWS. It's sad :(

@jzb @bexelbie You really only need one person in a friend group or interest group who’s nerdy enough to self-host and self-admin. If the barrier is low enough, they’ll make the leap and often bring the whole group with them.
I run a small #RocketChat server for a few friends as a way to stay in touch. Hosting it out of my basement, though, has been more of a grind than I expected, especially at first. Offloading the infrastructure to someone else can be a big win.

@jzb @sven @ljs @vbabka what you describe is my experience with Brno for all the many #devconfcz that were in January.
But I've had a few nice days in Brussels – guess about every third Fosdem I've been to. Maybe I was lucky.

@jzb Regarding Paws of Furry: Interaction between my Old English Sheepdog (Dr Watson or Doc) and one Tortie named Poppy. Doc was sleeping on the Living room rug, oblivious to approaching mayhem. Poppy was lying nearby and started rolling closer and closer to the sleeping OES. She finally made contact with the large bundle of fur, arose with a start and smacked Doc for blocking her rolling. Doc, unhurt but startled, awoke and looked around. Do not know if Doc knew what hit him, due to his eye covered bangs, etc. Loved them both. #dogsofmastedon #catsofMastodon

@jzb @neil @jellyfin I'm also a Jellyfin user so I can try to help. What does Plexamp do that I should be looking for in a Jellyfin equivalent?
Fair warning, I've got a bunch of old Logitech Squeezebox players around so specifically for music, I tend to use #LyrionMusicServer -
@jzb Honestly, for speed and accuracy, it seems the "WhisperCpp Small" model is a decent balance. It does well even with these book specific words. And bonus, I forgot I left it listening and was singing at my cat and it even annotated "♪♪♪" lolol
-
@jzb good question. I just did a simple comparison of a few models. I'm sure there is a better text to use for such a text...
It's neat that the Whisper models even get the punctuation more correct than Vosk.
And the Mozilla model is just not great.
Also, they all seem to process a little differently. Like, the Whisper models listen, and only output whole text once it has processed, whereas the Vosk will roll out words even if it amends them on the fly -
@jzb is bringing up some darn good points in the #OLF Friday keynote.

@jzb @richardfontana I think this is the lesser of the evils though, they are not doing an Elastic where they go an SSPL or similar: https://www.elastic.co/blog/licensing-change
#BSLLicense is probably the most open license that a SaaS startup that wants to build a business on selling a hosted version can use on parts of their systems without exposing themselves to leeches, and it’s been actively developed with feedback from the OSS community and endorced by influential ones there: https://mariadb.com/bsl-faq-adopting/

@jzb 😱 I've literally just said to my partner "#Reptaliens should come to Bristol for a gig, also has got the same vines of Portland, OR" 😅
-
@jzb I can't believe somebody else is hashtagging #reptaliens 💥 I currently use the suggestion of #tidal, I find them pretty good

"Second-Hand Smoke" is a great analogy to the AI pollution issue. I hadn't thought of it quite like that until you said that - and yeah! thats perfect, and I thank you!
#AISlop and #AI #Pollution is like subjecting others to #SecondHandSmoke
