Yeah, I guess I knew what they were, but it seems like it would be rough to use on an Android TV in the browser compared to purpose built TV applications.

I downloaded TizenTube Cobalt as a replacement until the dust settles. Obviously similar attacks can happen with TizenTube, but if you want something that is clean right now, that’s the way to go.

Ah, yes, the classic “no u”

Do either of those work on Android TV?

Hm, I’ve thought about using an HTPC for this myself, but haven’t gotten around to trying it. I’d prefer to be able to use my remote still…

Curious, what did you do for an alternative?

LLMs, by design, cannot achieve consciousness. Big tech would like you to continue thinking that, though.

Sure, some other “AI chain” might in the future. But that’s not where the money pit is at right now. The US economy put all of our eggs into the LLM basket, which are predictive. They are not deterministic. They do not think. They are predictive, statistical models, and nothing more.

This might be purely mathematical and algorithmic.

There’s no might here. It is not conscious. It doesn’t know anything. It doesn’t do anything without user input.

That ““study”” was released by the creators of Claude, Anthropic. Anthropic, like other LLM companies, get their entire income based on the idea that LLMs are conscious, and can think better than you can. The goal, like with all of their published ““studies””, is to get more VC money and paying users. If you start to think about it that way every time they say something like “the model resorted to blackmail when we threatened to turn it off”, it’s easy to see through their bullshit.

The one thing I miss about Utah… the wilderness.

I like the wilderness here in the PNW too, but Utah’s got a little bit of everything in that regard.

Containers are the best, so probably

I currently donate to Frigate, but I definitely should donate more. Especially to KDE…

My fucking neighbors just keep letting their outdoor only cats reproduce and get mad when they meow for kibble. It’s the worst. My county has a well funded TNR and last litter program, but they don’t give a shit. I’ve done TNR of at least 8 or 9 cats and they just keep coming.

These aren’t even the completely wild and feral cats or anything (since the shitty neighbors feed them from time to time) although I’m sure their offspring has made some feral cats by now. It’s horrible.

The new repo has two releases in it now. These releases are not signed with the original key as far as I can tell. Further, GitHub is silently redirecting to the new repo, even in Obtainium, meaning it’s possible that if you had this previously installed via Obtainium and updated now, you may have unsigned apks installed that may or may not contain the changes in the repo.

This is a mess. I deleted the repo from Obtainium (luckily I don’t auto install updates) and will wait to see what happens over the next few months. Might just save my notes in a network share instead of using syncthing from my phone. Idk, notes are all that I was using it for.

Watch for spicy pillows… they’ll light your stuff on fire.

They make countertop dishwashers that connect to your sink, still better than washing by hand imo

I thought that was the governor (of Utah), not the mayor of SLC? The lake is (or was) large, with many sources, most of which are outside of SLC’s jurisdiction.

That’s part of ADHD for a lot of people: hyperfixation/focus on topics that interest them, and struggles otherwise.

As an ex-SLC resident, the mayor and the city doesn’t have that much pull over their sliver of the lake. The state reps and senators are really the ones to blame. They were also the ones that allowed companies to dump heavy metals into the lake which are now being blown into the valley for everyone to breathe.

It’s sad, I have a vivid memory of wading into the water as a child. In the area I went in at, you could walk for miles and the water would only come up to your chest. It was also really easy to float in, and brine shrimp were everywhere. It stunk, but as a kid, I didn’t care about that. It was just cool to be in a super salty lake.

Who’s Charlie Kirk?

Does running termux all of the time affect battery much?
