I did a cursory search on this, and couldn't find anything, however, is there or could there be an llm trained only on text or data which is in the public domain or is otherwise openly licensed?

Hi, maybe I'm old school but i did not appreciate Google replacing their old "Google assistant" on Android with the new Gemini. I do not want to participate in Gemini.

How can i replace it with a more traditional voice assistant?

I don't use it for very much: the only workflows it would really have to support are:

• Play music (currently Spotify), e.g., "Play the Beatles on Spotify"
• Set timers and alarms on the clock app, e.g. "Set a timer for one hour with the label: laundry".

I think tasker can do this? But i couldn't find a good guide online.

Anyone know a good way of going about setting this up without it becoming a new hobby?

Researcher also has free (speech and beer) schematics for making your own sensor and replicating the experiment.

Have you heard of this concept? Does it ring true for you? Do you live somewhere where cars pass you dangerously?

Wear a helmet or don't, but either way, society is responsible for making bicycling safer, and encouraging more people to take a bicycle over a car trip. Mandatory helmet laws reduce the number of people cycling, and the safety in numbers factor.

Is it a bot network, or disgruntled user with many alts? Sorry if this is the wrong way/place to ask. I saw it on All and it was removed when I clicked so I was curious.

When i try to paste an image into a piefed comment on blorp, i get a http 400 error (bad request)

I can post the same image into a lemmy comment and it works fine.

Is this a intended behavior, a problem with piefed, or a problem with blorp?

One wrinkle, i can usually copy entire articles, including images, and paste these as comments in piefed. Turns out i was misremembering and this still fails. Actually it did work once with the Wikipedia fediverse article, but failed the lego 404 article.

I will post some test comments below from piefed blahaj, Lemmy blahaj, and retrofed (piefed).

Please let me know if you have any insights or anything else to try.

NEW INFO: testing on Summt vs Blorp reveals: quota exceeded.

I know that normal nocturnal bats can be seen flying at daytime sometimes during rare circumstances. But are there any flying mammals that have evolved to fly around during the day? Or have they all just decided not to compete with the birds in this regard?

Hello, I'm not seeing OP's responses on a thread, but i can see them in an alt piefed.blahaj.zone account.

But i realized it was because i have blocked OP previously.

So my question is, if I have blocked them, why can i read their post? Is there something wrong with my account?

I suppose the first troubleshooting step is to find a desktop computer and see if using a different client other than Blorp is any different?

Anyone have insight into what is going on? Thank you

I have some padded bike shorts I'd like to wear on a bike ride, but I'm getting pretty in my head about poop particles getting into the shorts and not washing out in the wash.

Seems like it would help keep the shorts from getting stinky.

Edit 1: friction is the answer

Edit 2: sorry for this edit -- i was trying to make a new post, but Blorp for some reason took me to editing this one instead. Trying to put it back the way it was...

Hi All. I have some hardware from 2007 that is currently "in use" as a failed NAS which I leave powered off. I get weird hardware errors and the capacitors on the motherboard look questionable. It is also an obsolete processor (AMD Athlon 64 X2) so I would basically need to buy at least a new motherboard, cpu, and ram, which is why I'm leaning towards a new (to me) used computer.

My main question is, what desktop computers on the used market would support 3 or 4+ SATA connections to hard disks, and/or room in the case for 3 or 4 x 3.5" Hard Disks? They are the most valuable part of my "NAS" and ideally I would like to reboot the operating system from these disks in a new hardware system.

I am looking for the most economical option, but I would be ok saving up for the appropriate part. I want the new system to be a NAS, I want to install immich on it, and possibly with a graphics card so I could run Immich's machine learning / image organizing functions on it.

Other parts I could reuse, but don't have to:

• Cooler Master Case (there are some things iffy/wrong with it, like broken USB 2 ports.
• Caicos XTX [Radeon HD 8490 / R5 235X OEM]
• Sound Card: C-media CMI8738/CMI8768 PCI Audio
• Several 2TB hard disks and one 128 GB SSD.
• monitor
• speakers

Here is my most recent hardware probe -- the hard disks are out of date, but the rest is fairly accurate: https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=8028d0a8d1

There were some reddit threads coming up with this search, but I wanted to ask here as well. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Used+Computers+with+3.5%22+drive+bays&ia=web

Thanks for your thoughts!

Found this article posted to another community, and thought to cross post it here.

The gist of the article is that girls suffer in silence because they don't match the profile of boys with ADHD, but i found myself relating to it very much, even though I'm not a girl, and my parents did know pretty early.

Key Paragraph:

And like many other issues regarding mental health, hiding only makes it worse. The effort to perform as neurotypical is more common among girls and begins in early adolescence. A girl will study how other kids behave and copy it, suppressing the urge to move and turning a fear of mistakes into perfectionism that, from the outside, reads as being a strong student. The research on the cost is consistent: higher camouflaging tracks with greater anxiety, depression, and lower quality of life. By June, the reserves are gone, and the mask that is held through every class period tends to shatter the moment she feels safe, usually at home. 

So i spent my childhood trying to fit in but also be myself. My parents were pretty sure i had ADD (inattentive) by first grade, because I was a boy, and i didn't really pay attention in normal ways and never really understood why i should do what everybody else was doing in school, or even notice that it was time to do that.

But as I grew up and especially in high school, i tried my best to work super hard and try to be smart and get good grades (one of my biggest innovations was to do my homework on the bus every day before i got home from school and got distracted) but also i got in the habit of guilt tripping myself to get work done, "stop being lazy, etc.,"

This worked until it didn't and i burn out pretty hard and got pneumonia as my body physically collapsed under the pressure of junior year. I'd say that set the tone for my life since then -- try to do a good job, lose energy and fail.

My life recently has been about trying to relearn how to be productive and still be true to myself while also dealing with all the baggage from trying to force myself to achieve good grades and do the best i could.

Can anyone relate to this broadly? Have you found anything to help you understand it or overcome it?

I was just thinking about how the last time i learned any philosophy was 15+ years ago, so i wonder, what's something y'all know about philosophy? Let's talk about it!

Oil and Gas get massive subsidies every year, but a huge part of it are the very popular heating oil subsidies that keep people alive in the winter. Could these be reduced or replaced if instead the government gave money towards families purchasing electric heaters and spending their money on that?

Edit: USA but i assume the problem is not uniquely ours

For me, a tree has leaves, but a salad has leafs. The Toronto Maple Leafs team individual players are Maple Leafs. I am confident in (mis)using grammar in this way but wondering if other people do it too?

Rule

I was reading a comment section and I saw that some people were banned, but the comment wasn't removed. This got me to thinking: how are banned and removed treates on the threadiverse?

When a moderator bans someone, do they choose whether to remove the comment, or leave it up for all to see if that is better?

Is it that some clients autoremove banned users, and some don't?

Do some clients allow banned users to still poat in the community they're bannes from, and it is up to the client to decide whether to show it or not?

What is going on?

My old shorts were wearing out so i bought new ones online, but the fabric feels gross now :(
