Your joke would work better against the guy boasting about using LLMs, not the one actively avoiding them. Maybe ask a LLM for an explanation as to why.

Congrats…?

Again, not what I said.

But given how difficult interpreting this simple comment has been for you, and your extremely weird reply (toxic gamer? what?) I think you’re better off using the LLM to interpret and write for you after all. Good day though!

Where’s your conveniently placed LimeWire Premium shortcut, which itself you pirated via LimeWire?

That’s not what I said.

LLMs are demonstrably bad at what they do, and what they do is just very basic writing, research and math.

It’s not about things I know or don’t know. If you’re finding LLMs useful, you’re lacking in some foundational skills that everybody should practice and be capable of doing.

Not to be a dick, but this reveals more about your own limitations than it does about the power of LLMs…

I think they worked out that men on average think about sex about 8 times as much

I’ll assume you’re misremembering the study or reading an article about the study not the paper itself, because otherwise, I’d be terrified at the really bad attempt at doing science if any peer reviewed study published these words.

the benefit of it is just not bloating my 128gb phone to it´s limits

That’s kinda the thing though, using modern codecs there’s no way you’ll get anywhere close to facing this issue. A song encoded with Opus at higher than necessary quality is 2.5 MBs on average - that’s over 20 thousand songs in 50 GB, not even half of your total storage gets you 50 days of continuous audio.

I love WebKit exploits because they suddenly open up several gaming consoles to homebrew, almost all of them have browsers based on WebKit too.

Whaaat? There’s Android for jailbroken Kindles? Back in my day the only thing you could do with a jailbreak was installing a slow version of KOReader that didn’t really work very well.

This was only a controversy because GIFs were falling out of favour

They were never falling out of favour, and there’s not a single human being out there using WebP, only Google and bots touch that format.

Eco-friendly straws don’t have to be mushy paper.

There are several other “vegetable plastics” that last long enough to serve as a fully functional straw, but months later degrade naturally. The reason you don’t see them being used is because McDonald’s doesn’t want to spend an extra $0.10 on every order, because that would totally bankrupt the billionaire company you know.

Or … just don’t connect it to the internet?

It is not because it has a wifi antenna or an ethernet port that you need to connect it.

This is increasingly becoming a false statement, unfortunately. Companies are indeed forcing customers to connect in order to use the regular features. For instance, Roku TVs won’t let you change to a regular HDMI input without first connecting and accepting their ToS and updates.

Secondly, even when the forced connection hasn’t been implemented yet, the problem is not entirely fixed. These fridges with digital panels are notorious for randomly having that panel fail, and then the ENTIRE FRIDGE stops working, even though the actually useful compressor and refrigeration loop is intact. Of course, the company will also refuse to sell you a replacement digital panel.

A smart appliance disconnected is still significantly worse than a dumb appliance.

The only Organic Maps controversy I’m aware of was the presence of certain closed-source elements on what they claim to be a FOSS app, and that the main developer refused to open up, then partially did, then backtracked and never fully released.

Maybe that’s what that user is referring to? Not sure.

Even if you fixed the issue with drivers…

…your modem runs it’s own firmware with a lot of extremely shady behavior, and you can’t touch that regardless of which OS you install. Even your SIM card can arbitrarily execute Java applets and fetch from the network without your command, but at least it’s somewhat contained. Your modem though, it can do a lot without your control and people like Qualcomm have been caught doing nasty stuff with it (plus, of course, giving the US the data whenever they ask for it).

This is why people like Stallman and Snowden often talk about teaching users how to use libre software on their computers, but rather than pushing for the same with smartphones, they tell you to not touch these at all instead. They’re fundamentally anti-privacy devices, built this way.

Of course I carry one, it’s fairly hard to live without a phone nowadays, but we must be aware of the impossibility of fully containing the data harvesting they do.

Why wouldn’t the internet survive the fall of capitalism? It started in universities wanting to share information faster, not for profit.

The Homebrew Channel for LG WebOS is got three pieces of absolutely essential software:

A YouTube app modified with built in ad blocking and sponsor blocking. The Jellyfin app. The Moonlight app.

With these three plus the toggle to block system updates your TV gets 1000% better for free.

for music: not streaming.

Music is a solved problem, the files are small even at FLAC quality and can be tiny with Opus whilst sounding transparent. Any SOC made in the last 15 years features a more than fully capable DAC.

Why even bother with streaming? Have a local collection of files. Even syncing is easy.

Remember when Plex tried to sell you a subscription to use outdated versions of open source game console emulators?

Plex wants to be a profit-driven company, but their business model is piracy. They’ll squeeze you for subscriptions, while making your experience worse to try and broker a peace deal with content owners.

People are getting horny over Hornet??
