It’s actually unbelievable: just for fun, I decided to go through the entire Windows 11 installation process on my new MSI Cubi. Let’s see how it goes these days.
What can I say? Unbelievable! It took almost TWO HOURS just for the initial updates before I could even start setting it up! Are Microsoft’s servers that slow? The download took forever, not to mention the installations… And then the worst part: the pre-installed bloatware! Dozens of crappy third-party programs—and of course, they all want your data and a subscription… But Microsoft takes the cake: 22 (!!!) installations of Office 365 in the respective national languages! And each one is around 7 GB! That’s just 150 GB for a piece of junk software! And uninstalling each Office installation takes several minutes...
I’m going to stick with this crap anyway, just because I want to know how much of my life setting up Windows 11 with MSI’s bloatware is going to waste today. The day’s already gone to hell anyway.

My brand-new powerhouse: MSI Cubi NUC AI+ 3MG
Intel Core Ultra 9 386H processor, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB NVMe, and much more.
What a beast!
My first Intel-based PC in many, many years. But the new Panther Lake generation is currently superior to AMD. I couldn’t care less about the “Copilot” feature—who needs that crap? I certainly don’t. But I wanted a new, up-to-date, and powerful computer again for the next 5 or 6 years. And even though it wasn’t cheap, if I spread the purchase price of 1,500 EUR over 72 months, that’s 20 EUR per month, so the computer has actually paid for itself in even less time.
But I’m curious to see which Linux—or rather, which kernel version—will run smoothly on it, given all these very new components. My planned testing order: Debian Sid, Fedora with kernel 7.2-rc, and finally Arch. I don’t even need to think about FreeBSD right now, but maybe in the future.

Software libero, codice verificabile e pubblico e tecnologie europee significano più controllo, più trasparenza e meno dipendenza dalle Big Tech.

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love AI
Obviously all "AI"/LLM models are trained using GPL and even better
AGPL code. Code derived from GPL/AGPL code is also GPL/AGPL code. That
means all LLM generated Code is automatically GPL/AGPL code. All those
lovely companies out there use LLM generated code. Time to request and
publish the source code under GPL/AGPL. They have nothing to hide
anyways. *plop!*All code is free at last, now only the people must follow.

@athulvis @badrihippo @untrusem It was great we could pull off this demo. I was not sure if the DNS part would work on not, hats off to Athul for figuring it out.
We can now use it as demo in any booth / stall we setup.
This can really make people think if they really need such a shitty deal with big tech companies just to be able to talk to each other.
Though next step of actually leaving big tech will need much more courage.

And here's "drone mode"! This is super nice for creating ambient sounds - one chords will slowly transition all notes into those of the next chord. Clashing notes will be automatically handled. It's best to listen for yourself

You can use keyboard, mouse or a gamepad to control it. The chord nodes are automatically arranged to match the harmonic structure of the selected scale. You only need to remember one set of combos and you can play in any scale instantly. Smooth voice leading does the rest. It is called lazy for a reason.
Here's a short preview showcasing the gamepad controls.

I've been building a music app that turns harmony into something you can play with. Instead of drawing MIDI notes, you explore chords, hear them instantly, build progressions and inspect how they work.
It's called Lazy Chords: https://codeberg.org/zuglufttier/lazy_chords
Looking for feedback from musicians and music nerds!
