I recently discovered reCasaOS a FOSS fork that’s maintained. Might want to give that a shot first before moving everything over to a new OS.

I don’t think that’s AI generated. The photo of earth part could easily be. But the meme doesn’t give AI vibes at all.

Huh? Using the fediverse is indirectly interacting with Meta… Not directly.

Huh I haven’t noticed any. Maybe because my instance defederated dbzero

Another article that confuses 3-4 corporate websites with the hundreds of millions of websites on “The Internet”

I don’t understand the whole blocking Threads thing. How is forcing your own users to make a Threads account not actively helping Meta?

How could the fediverse be taken over?

where?

This. Plex doesnt need a lot of resources, I ran it from a raspberry pi 3 for years without issue.

Same I used to scroll for hours, when I first heard it applied to social media/smartphones I was like “???”

Pushing someone, even gently, to change something about their routines almost always causes them to become defensive and double down. The most effective way to enact change in someone else is to discuss how the changes you’ve made have benefited yourself.

What does your IoT network look like? A second wifi router? Mesh?

This is incredible thanks for sharing

Unless it’s been updated, Plex HTPC doesn’t work on arm

Lol at “He’s with Ben Sisko now”. Also congrats on your first Tea. Earl Grey is a bit of an advanced power user sort of tea but it won’t kill you you’ll get the hang of it.

This is my white whale. There is a guy making LineageOS versions of Android TV that seem to work well for some people but in my experience are buggy and I couldn’t get CEC working no matter what I tried.

Libreelec (kodi) works fantastic and CEC is flawless with every device I tested, but Kodi these days is really only good for local media (not Plex, Jellyfin, Youtube or streaming services) and real-debrid.

KDE Bigscreen is my last hope, but it’s probably going to be a while before it’s ready, not even including the inevitable wait for TV-interface versions of streaming apps that can run on ARM (if you’re using a raspi).

Wow, bad week for Trekkies. I didn’t realize he was sick.

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make, I agree that a copy machine is not sentient. You can’t just decide that an inanimate object is “art” and then work backwards to say that the non-sentient tools that were used to create the work are the real artist.

But I’m not talking about a copy machines. I’m saying that if a hypothetical synthetic being was able to retell an existing human story using its own voice then that qualifies as an original artistic work. Just as we don’t consider Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” to be a “copy” even though the story has been told before. Without an artist you definitionally don’t have art.

I mean, if a computer creates an artistic work that is truly indistinguishable from a human work, then that would imply the AI possesses sentience and is sharing it’s individual perspective via said work. And honestly I consider that something to be celebrated, not feared.

LLMs might be able to fool us for a minute or two into believing it is alive, but unless I’m fundamentally misunderstanding the technology they can’t actually ever share a perspective and make art because they don’t possess a perspective.
