Its locally hosted including the model and the runtime. You can have your program open up a server and bind ports locally if you want to run your own server and not just a desktop GUI.

Maybe there is confusion in what I am saying. Yes. That is not ChatGPT's API:

What I mean is - it literally has an API server you can run yourself if you want to programmatically talk to it. Here is a screenshot of the menu option.

I think it's especially the money and LGBTQ+ and non sexual norms that are driving people to the right. I notice when I talk to a lot of younger guys theyre tired of hearing about it.

Because it's pushed on so much of their TV shows and things they like that they side with political candidates that are conservative at a young age and they further grow into it. These are conservative candidates with lots of money usually.

I hate to say it but it was universally cool to defend LGBT people when the media and TV shows didn't push it. Because you were defending an oppressed person. Now it more so feels like it's popular which means it's no longer an obscure thing, the anti culture is the new trend.

I want to disclaim that I don't agree with any of this other than to say this is my observation of the behavior. I play rainbow six ranked on Xbox and use the looking for group party finder with a buddy of mine. We group up and encounter a lot of guys in the army and Marines, a lot of teenagers and this is cumulatively the culture I've heard. Same thing on like world of warcraft classic and using discord to raid but those guys run older typically.

I'm not convinced that's the truth. But we also need term limits universally. I think too that officials need a way to get elected without third party funding in the US. Like even if you run there should be a system for running too.

People aren't that great online at hearing what you mean not what you're saying. The implications normally drawn by assuming the other person is either of basic intelligence or aware of the context are thrown out the window in favor of Internet points.

It's exhausting. Sometimes that's why I like mastodon or twitter or threads or nostr. Whatever pick your poison. Point is I want to say my fucking piece and not have to add all this extra context so the other person doesn't call me an idiot on some niche part of what I said.

Thinking about it from the commenters perspective: People online need to go back to just saying what they actually meant to say without prefacing everything. If that happened we'd at least have a more fulfilling experience. There's a reason folks leave knee jerk comments and don't elaborate further because the sentiment is popular too.

Look if going to college didn't cost four years of time with 20K per year, where in my career you'd be near to outdated (tech), I'd go.

But for tech I feel like its almost a scam. I'd rather have the certs and/or practical knowledge or be able to go through an interview via algorithms, soft skills, explaining how to go through what I know. Its harder work to learn this way but I think it keeps your skills sharper.

I got perma banned off of reddit for commenting on a sub that I had been banned from, and instead of them just not letting my comment post - they instead basically ban you for posting again.

So if you get banned of a sub on reddit and forget because...who cares.... You get yourself perma'd for ban evasion.

I got banned from like a news sub for saying "surprise not everyone shares your political opinion, of course there's dissent".

That's when reddit for me went absolutely to shit. Just getting blacklisted by mods who are reading into everything.

Idk I just pay for stuff if I like it so no ads. Like including DVDs or streaming services. Or I use FOSS and everything's good.

I don't know man I just work here

I have to ask how do you like the pine book pro?

I have one of their phones but the software at the time was really under developed so it mostly sat for a few years

I ended up figuring out im averaging about 120w on my desktop which isn't bad at all.

A web browser, a code editor and some docker containers or binaries. Nothing incredibly strenuous. Like I'm not gaming.

Reading replies to a comment on politics on social media

Unregulated lobbied capitalism. I'm okay with capitalism and competing ideas. What I'm not okay with is some of the late stage problems we've encountered as a society. Assuming the US average person lives to be a very low of 50, we are four generations deep. Ive known two generations in my own lineage. That's not very long.

It's okay to make better systems. Even for billionaires its okay because a rising tide floats all the boats. This is something that needs to be taught better to the upper class. If these guys had less complaining workers, people willing to contribute more so in their enterprises, workers who are happy to make their products, it would be fine. Putting the squeeze on the little guy does nothing for these dudes besides some tight margins.

Coupled with a very elderly legislative body we are left with senseless greed in both trade and politics. Portions of the population just consume politics like it's a sitcom. What we're left with is a system in need of refinement.

Definitely will look into the MacBooks power consumption. The logic checks out for sure. I have to measure my current laptops too.

Thank you! Appreciate it

I haven't seen anyone really saying that. Reddits a cesspool of hyper moderation. They'll ban their own users and Lemmy will literally be default

It's a good daily scroller so far, no problems here from me. Our admin on lemdit is a cool guy.

It's replaced reddit for me. There's already enough content to scroll for a long time with new subs added all the time. We just need a federated "popular" algorithm feed to see what's trending.

Stop right there criminal scum. Pay the court a defederation. Your posts are now forfeit.

You're right. Maybe u/gnubyte is our savior?!

His patreon is loaded with funny and tech posts.

lmao I guess so huh? I don't know man. I appreciate just having a few simple subs and posting to them though. I think thats what I was really getting at. I got the news article from google news and thought Id share it.

🌶️🥵Many people consume Facebook meta company's tech stack wholesale, don't know how to actually traditionally program their way out of a paper bag, and web dev and devops caused a massive layoff (250k people) at the end of 2022, start of 2023 because it was all vaporware. They consume the same software in droves if the other guy uses it.

There is an entire subculture around it that is just a bunch of medium.com writers, YouTubers and twitter handles just trying to get the clicks for their ad money. Some of these guys have never written valid software or done anything noteworthy. If you meet them head on you'd find they have enormous egos and can't find a counter argument when presented with reason.

I'll even add on that there are many programmers who don't know how to code outside a web app.

Why is something like [react, graphql, react ssr, devops, tailwind, unit tests, containers] vaporware?

• there are other frameworks even with component libraries that are easier to read the code for large codebases, better maintained, and have cohesive full stack solutions, and even faster to develop in, to name one quasarJS or even just plain ecmascript
• if you look at the anatomy of these enterprises using these solutions they've evolved to have micro front ends requiring armies of workers.
• devops is a sales term, the actual implementation of it is so contextual that you'd probably find you don't need a full time job for it half the time and most are relatively easy to setup inside of a business quarter
• not everything is Facebook scale: unless you're padding your resume why did some of these get adopted? How complicated does your app need to be? Did you really need to transpile JavaScript for it?
• unit tests were code to test your code that you're going to have to functionally test anyways: you're telling me that you have to write your code...twice? How the hell did this ever get justified to mangers? Why did the culture not evolve into literal automated smoke tests of the actual builds, instead of testing whether a function that is probably type annotated is going to fire anyways???
• docker/containers suck ass: great that they solved a problem but created a whole new one. we moved to python and JS which were JIT without artifacts and suddenly everything needs a generalized build system to run it. C lang variants and Rust lang compile to a binary you can just run... Ship the small ass binary not an entire container to run your shitty web app

You know the stuff I don't hear about?

• Javascript and Python were steps in the evolution but never the end goal. I'd even say the same of java. There are new solutions but JavaScript in the browser especially should be replaced.
• eye appeal is buy appeal
• that eye appeal shouldn't always mean you need to use a library or framework; vanilla apps work okay too.
• binaries/artifacts/installer packages > containers
• automated testing of the actual end product
• well written logging to the point someone can tell what the application was doing without seeing code
• using all these compsci algorithms to actually write new products and searches from scratch instead of being a framework baby: do you actually need ELK or Splunk for your search? Really?
• you probably don't need MySQL for a lot of projects, I bet you an async library with sqlite would be the same for many of these projects.
• small teams with feature rich apps using SSR, the value of an SSR web app
• the value of a SPA
• the value of traditional desktop software and not using REST APIs

No. They'll just name an entire lineup of the worlds biggest computers after your daughter.

Sorry, I couldn't find a better sub. It's like misc news I guess? So I just posted it up hoping to get some decent chatter going in the comments.

I want to take a camera and microphone to a voting booth building and ask people "hey did you vote for a man over 70 years old today"

Just because it's like encountering a bad show on live TV and skipping over it or a commercial and saying "damn that's dumb who is buying this?!" And never finding out. The best eye opener is meeting people who you didn't think actually existed.

That's hot. I see the clowns have blown in for the quadrennial clown show.

"Macy's jeans are in this back to summer school sale!"

Breathed out a blast of dentine ice into my face. I was shocked since I thought it would smell like Tacos. That's when she winked at me and reached into her back pocket and pulled out...

Isn't Biden 80 years old?

This is a misplay but if you look at the numbers Kennedy is losing to Biden in polls by a large 50% margin but also I've never heard of this site so beware its credibility:

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-primary-d/2024/national/

I'm not keen on Biden continuing at his age. Because you're voting for his vice president at that age.

I don't think Biden could beat Trump again. Every person who got laid off during Bidens administration will have something to say about it in the voting booth. Democrats need to push up a better candidate.

Gaming. It used to be an MMO for like $15 a month. Now it's a new game for $70, the game has DLC for $20-$30 or skins or some battle pass.

You're about to make a lot of enemies 😂

Last time someone posted this stupid fucking article up on a different tech lemmy I got into it with some single brain cells morons.

It's open source tech. You could fork the entire thing if you didn't like the CEO. Who cares.

Reddit is a fall back but without an account if I need to see if people are having issues with an online game for example. But other than that nah man.

Fuck em. Lemmy has enough cool stuff for me. I run out of content though after fifteen minutes though.

I'm going to be making my own mastodon server soon so I want to replace majority of my miscellaneous scrolling and commenting I was doing on twitter with that. I had deleted my twitter but brought it back because it's one of the few exclusive ways I can communicate with brands or game companies to request new features. And it seems to work when I give feedback on there. So it's hard to get rid of from a practical sense.

I don't have access to that data. And I don't won't to be misconstrued as promoting Elon or his activities (not that you're doing that but I see the downvotes).

I'm just explaining what I think he's doing. It's what I'd pitch personally if I noticed red voters trend and visibly meme anti EV and I had obligations to shareholders I had to keep.

People are better off buying EV anyways. ICE vehicles are disgusting. I think people just like to assign large structures like businesses and folks like Elon to their political idealogies. Businesses and governments have to be larger than that because they need to serve people at the end of the day with either product or policy.

Keep your friends close.

Keep your enemies closer. Where do you think GOP Republicans live? Texas. What vehicles do they drive? Gas/diesel.

Call him everything he is. But he is a fantastic businessman for going to the place of most resistance and turning his worst demographic to his biggest group of followers.

"The King of Queens"

Because he looks like Kevin James lol

It's gotta be topics that you're willing to talk about daily. I have a few gaming and crypto ones but nothing I'm married to yet.

I was thinking I might do something with FOSS since Im passionate about it and have interesting insight to share potentially. We'll see.

We have a lot of freedom to engage across other servers without defederation. The content you see on lemmy is limited to federation, so it's important to have a grounded server owner.

I think going forward I myself and others here need to pick some topics and make some.popular sublemmies here too. That's where you find the most value.

Kinda wild seeing this thread as a a dude who finds block chain stuff interesting but isn't invested in any coin. I started up a few subs on my local if anyone wants to talk about it but yeah, I also love solar punk stuff so to speak and clean energy, and they are working against each other in current deployments.

Hope you guys come up with something that works for all your users on your lemmy server.

TIL there's a solar community, cool.

Yeah buddy.

I'm a fan of looking up articles information especially in regards to far left media. Far right usually is pretty easy to tell it's fake because it's so outlandish and off the cuff.

I looked into some of the guys mentioned in this article to confirm if they're far right or if they're actually just some old guy removed about the way things used to be and going a little too far... No. It was like hardcore racists making insane remarks online. Some of them I couldn't find but look it up. One of them has a website. Insanity.

Good article OP.
