I love this idea. Libraries should provide free hosting for people in the community.

Im all about democratizing the internet, and im all about self hosting. Libraries could be just what we need for that.

Brilliant idea my friend.

these are not two sides. The system is working as some intend so needs to be dismantled, at least large parts of it, to fix it.

People always forget, nuance exists.

I have always assumed that everything that I type into an LLM is guaranteed to be completely insecure, and entirely public. I would never, in a million years, put anything sensitive into an LLM, any account and password is unique.

I mean, I figure whatever I type is going to be used as training data for the next iteration, and I assume anything that goes in, is retrievable to some degree.

I just threw it on the family laptop to give it another life. So far it’s great, and I would honestly suggest it as a regular user desktop system. My kids will be fine with it, so would my mom, and any of my non-tech-savvy friends.

Personally I probably won’t switch from my beloved LMDE, but I’m also a greybeard nerd who’s set in my ways.

That’s why they are going to saddle the neckhole dude’s widow with him.

I have, but they wouldn’t take a fist born, nor magic beans..

I try to keep one or two near collections at all times. Makes me feel like someone cares..

This is a joke (although I am often behind on bills).

All part of the design. They are dumping department of education for the same reason. They want education to be only for the privileged, and only teaching what they want taught.

We aren’t there yet, but if you look at the steps they’ve taken it’s quite obvious what their plans are. If it’s not, it’s all spelled out in project 2025.

I use Dr. Bronners hemp peppermint for everything. Soap, shampoo, toothpaste, dish soap, dog shampoo, hell, I once washed my car with it.

Ok, so I only use it as toothpaste while camping, but still, I could.

Right, I subconsciously rip off all my tags and even try to buy things without them.. I always figured they were meant to be removed because they are so annoying.
