Omacom Foundation funding hits $10M

I saw the video from NetworkChuck. It had some interesting elements. I think the integration of LLMs was at least interesting.

I doubt that this will usher in the year of the Linux, but It's always a good thing when there's made new software, that can be used in other Linux distros as well.

I might not think that this is the way forward, but there might be something that can be reused in other distros

Doing the right thing for the wrong reason

Reply in thread

I use it to automate big and little things.

I don't use agents to act on my behalf, but I use them to create things that do. I just add safe guards to prevent spamming, etc.

Such as checking if I have the best interest rate for mortgage, phone plan, electricity, insurances, buying groceries from where itnisbcheapest based on my needs. I have maybe 30 such services running currently, from big to small things.

I just ask Kimi K3 to make the thing on my VPS, and it does, and it works.

Is it just me or i feel life is getting more difficult these days?

Thirty-something Norwegian here. I am born into a rich, relatively functioning social democracy with a good welfare state. Buying my own home was a real struggle, even with a good salary. Many of my peers will never own, my younger friends will struggle to ever own, or never.

Unfortunately the welfare state is eroding, prices for everything is increasing heavily, and the private sector is a growing leech on the state.

What are some things I can do as an apartment dweller to fight climate change/deal with the coming effects?

First off, you are already doing a lot by just living in an apartment, more than most.

I am lazy, and I try to prioritize the most effective solutions. People might disagree, but if it is not very effective I don't do it. I do not agree with the "everything little thing helps". It's not a sustainable way of living in a world that does not make it easy to do the right things. It's better to focus on high impact areas and stop there.

I do

  • I live in an apartment
  • I do not own a car, and just use the rare taxi
  • I try to buy and sell used items as much as is reasonable
  • I rarely travel by plane
  • Eat more vegetarian than before

I do not

  • I do not recycle plastics, it is too bothersome and I doubt that it even helps much. Sometimes already clean plastics are recycle. It's already being used to heat apartments by burning it at the optimal temperature for low emissions anyways.

  • I do not grow plants for other reasons than aesthetics and herbs. As long as it does not actively harm insects or similar.

  • I do not avoid using the cloud. It's to bothersome running things at home. I just want to set and forget
