Not a productive comment.

Ansible certainly works here, most implementations I’ve seen are terraform with ansible or cloudinit.

Most of my stack is containers, so I personally prefer cloudinit and a handoff to ansible.

Gaia GPS has turned to garbage when they were bought by Outdoors. Use their app at your peril.

Calibre Web Automated. I have Kobo integration enabled, so when I add an ebook to the “sync” folder, it appears on my Kobo. pretty nice system.

It’s better to think about it as though you are making a queue of changes that need approval to be permanent. Rather than just accepting that you just installed a ton of dependencies for no reason because you didn’t really want the software, you can cleanly reverse any of the changes.

In a sense, it accomplishes a similar thing as nix in a different way.

This is an appropriate response for something like a chainsaw or cigarettes, but it is not appropriate to describe chatgpt’s relationship to consumers.

For most of society, your conclusion works; parents should indeed play an intermediary role between their toddler and a fire. But fire does not deceive the user in its potential to danger. It doesn’t seek to glaze the user with compliments and hollow cheeriness.

ChatGPT is not fire. It leads people who can’t make the distinction between various technologies and their own personal data or digital identity into false narratives pretty easily.

I’m not sure where exactly you hoped your argument would land, because the logical conclusion to it is that you don’t really care that a person was convinced by chatgpt to kill themselves, which would have been clearer to point out than a contrived toddler argument.

Your take is a dangerous one.

So if someone is stupid, they deserve to be tricked by chatgpt. Got it.

Oh, no, I agree with you. I’m also gen x, first computer was a Timex Sinclair.

All the things, Facebook, LinkedIn, everything, they aren’t the problem, it’s the greed and current function of commerce that ruins it all.

LinkedIn was just very obviously taken over by douchbags almost as soon as it was launched.

Fair enough.

Not Europe, but the non-western world. Ask anyone from Brazil or the Philippines.

it’s not like sD devs forced them to adopt their option

It kind of is, though. You dont typically select your preboot environment, it’s selected for you.

You have already identified the problem in the logs.

You have a fake drive with firmware that says 1.8tb but are actually much lower.

access beyond end of device

This means an inode is mapped to a non-existing sector. Get your money back, if you still can.

Yes, I agree. We might not have rock-solid solutions, but less google is better.

I keep a oneplus 6t just to test Linux phone options.

so it was known to Google but not to me

Right, but you can assume google knows the imei and other hardware details, so they can probably link you to your identity on other platforms.

There is also the baseband issue. It is currently assumed that manufacturers could have access to snoop your LTE/5g and WiFi traffic, because the software running most phone baseband units is closed and not audited.

So you are probably private, but if you really want a phone with no Big Brother, you should get one from Pine64 or Jolla.

Um… You’re aware that your pixel was known to google before you graphened it?

I mean, LinkedIn was never really any good.

Yeah, but things like human readable logs are almost all gone because of journalctl changes that went into the systemd ecosystem without anyone really running by folks who look at logs everyday.

It’s not the functionality of systemd I don’t like, it’s the Poettering way of just making changes to stuff without bothering to learn how any of the rest of us professionally use things.

Despite the popular fantasy, the rich and powerful are not stupid.

Hubris is what the rich and powerful suffer from, not stupidity. And hubris makes the same blind decisions as stupidity.

In tempus, the setting is called “continuous play”. In feishin, it’s called “auto-dj”. Both settings are turned on by default, so you shouldn’t have to do anything.

Scrobbling helps because every played track goes into played history, and play counts help dynamic song selection more and more over time.

I don’t use the ratings, but I’ll “heart” songs I like.

I scrobble my playing from navidrome using listenbrainz and tell my two clients Tempus and Feishin to use the scrobbled data to build dynamic playlists. If I start with a particular song or album, the mix following that is usually kept in the same mood, only strays into weird stuff once in a while, but no more that YouTube Music used to.
