Well fuck. Microsoft decided I need a new OS, so now I can't log in to my account!

Motherfuckers...

You know, when all those assassins failed to murder Trump, I thought it was for the best, what with murder being wrong and all. I'm beginning ro realize that the turmoil might have been worth it, if it meant we wouldn't have to live under this fascist dictator...

I just had to tell my son "Don't have a staring contest with a shark". It was not a metaphor.

OTOH, this may be the best metaphor ever!










Looks like I'll resume shopping around for a different go-to #Friendica instance because though My Portal doesn't connect frequently enough for #HashtagGames, Rogue's Project isn't federating well with #Diaspora anymore, and federating with Diaspora is the primary reason I stick with Friendica. Going to have to move on from here, folks.
Edited to add that today I got just one poster from Glasswings over here but I follow many more others of other instances that simply aren't showing up. Not seeing ereandil from Glasswings either.

Unfortunately there is no way to force propagation across the Fediverse. The more people on an Instance that interact the better the propagation. There is nothing I can modify or change about this Instance that will cause it to propagate any differently. The issue is much bigger than one Instance. Rogue Project's Friendica is a very small instance with only a handful of active users. This effects propagation. The issue with larger Instances that I have been on is that they have more down time than up time.

In which the ignorant weasel in charge decides to eliminate actual heroes to prevent comparison, then does it the stupidest way possible as publicly as possible...


Pete Hegseth cuts the pension and strips Senator Mark Kelly of his military rank, because he β€” a democratβ€” had the audacity to disagree with the Trump regime.

Freedom of speech, ladies and gentlemen.

Local AI, actually


Lately I’ve been using AI locally instead of cloud stuff.
No internet needed, no accounts, nothing leaving my machine. Cloud AI is cool, but you share more than you realize.
Local just feels safer for me. Using models like dolphin-mistral:7b, llama3.1:8b, mistral:7b.

Yes, I only use local AI. llamma.cpp (not related to the Meta llama) and I have used Ollama in the past (which is just a user friendly wrapper for llama.cpp ) though have mostly migrated to llamma.cpp. I also use ComfyUI, I love playing with stable diffusion. I also actually make content I need with it as well πŸ˜‰.

Now that's style. techcrunch.com/2026/01/05/hack…



β€œWe need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication,” Nadella wrote in a rambling post flagged by Windows Central, arguing, "Humanity needs to learn to accept AI as the new equilibrium of human nature."

If "the new equilibrium of human nature" is code for worthless, mind-numbing garbage that is clogging up any and all human interaction, then I guess we agree!

Yes, except I write my own extension and do not use a plugin manager πŸ˜‰

@Unus Nemo I could not let it and bare the shame of plug in's anymore :headbang: so I created this on yet a new model (the smallest due to only 8GB Ram the Qwen2.1.5 coder was trash)
That api in the pic does not mean I'm connected trough their API nor need for network, that API word in text shell console refers to the http local in browser interface as UI


Description: a Vim shell interface connected to the LLM to verify hallucinations and with a trigger question test it confirmed Hallucination.
oh I returned to phi 3 from scratch and deleted the other trash


description :added the other codes over python

I know, I still have to work on the plug in's in my shell console but I like them..
So, I essentially just open a 2nd shell (to test only) copy/paste the code in that second shell where I open Vim. 1st Esc then Press V it highlights the error then F 5 to verdict after pressing Enter

It's two hours after the family's return from a week-long New Year's vacation. In thhat time, I've cleaned dog pee off the floor, both kids have had meltdowns and the entire contents of a jelly jar has filled a refrigerator shelf.

Ahh... Home Sweet Home...

IRC Chat


Honestly, IRC is the most fun I’ve had online. Simple, fast, and no-nonsense. I’ve been using it for about 4-5

months now, mainly connecting to Libera.Chat.

I personally prefer using WeeChat because I enjoy the terminal-based workflow, but there are plenty of other great clients like Irssi or HexChat depending on your style. It’s a great way to find focused communities.

I love the IRC, I have been using it since the late 1990's. Back then web based group chats were incredibly slow and useless. So Usenet and IRC were the place to be.

Do you feel safer?

NYC Wegmans is storing biometric data on shoppers' eyes, voices and faces

"The information is used to "protect the safety and security of our patrons and employees," according to the signage. "

Let's resurrect Harry Belafonte, shall we? Everybody sing to the tune of "Mathilda":

So that Trump'll run #Venezuela
