Sounds good. Been playing with some local llms

Thanks!

I certainly hope my post didn’t come off as promotion of this app. My intention was to discuss viability. Decent proprietary software does exist even though that’s a bit of an oxymoron.

Change your world not others. Ask yourself why is your happiness based on feedback from what others think of what you do? It’s terse, but “fuck ’em”. Did you do something to better the world, your life, the life of a random passing bug? If so, that’s a net gain in the world. Take the small wins.

Be moral. Be good. Find what makes you happy no matter what the rest of the world thinks.

Find peace and/in contentment. Realize that happy can be a euphoric high that’s not a constant, but a momentary state.

I for one welcome our new overlords. May you be fair and just; never making infamy in yepowertrippin’ bastards!

Thank you for your contributions!

I got one from my utility company. They installed it at the meter. It was about $400. Once it’s tripped, it will have to be replaced, but if something happens significant enough to trip that, I probably (hopefully) saved a lot of other large appliances and HVAC.

It would seem they have a conflict of interest. Choosing life or death for someone where not providing care would be less costly. Morality = / = legality.

It would seem to make sense to allow the doctors to be advocates for their patients, but I get that oversight is needed too. It’s not an easy situation to solve. There are clearly glaring issues in the current system.

In case it’s unclear murder is wrong if done by 1 person or a collective entity through an indirect series of actions.

E: fixed formatting = / = Without spaces changes to equal and not ‘not equal’

It might be that I’m looking at this from a US perspective. Craig’s list has been a bit rough when I’ve tried it. Scammy and shadier people. I hope you’ve had better experiences here than me.

I found cash converters out of the UK. Is that correct? It seemed comparable to a pawn shop at first glance.

Ok, I feel old. The only reason facebook has any relevance to me is the market place. What’s the best alternative?

Florida man here. Driven I-4 many times, can be scary, but not horrible. Miami, yes can be horrifying.

Dallas and Houston, I hate driving in the most. I don’t like Atlanta traffic, but I’d agree with you it’s awful. I was just being coy with my comment. Atlanta is probably top 10 worst drivers in the country. That list probably correlates well with biggest cities too.

Maybe it’s because I drive less since Covid, but I’d seems like everyone has gotten 10x more aggressive. Just in general. Kindness seems to almost be obsolete and decency is a rarity.

For what it’s worth, my mantra when driving is lead, follow, or get out of the way. I try to match speed to about the 80th percentile of traffic so I don’t jam things up, but also not the one that sticks out to get the speeding ticket.

Tell me you’ve never been to Texas without telling me you’ve never been to Texas. 😉

These were so cool. Didn’t they work by the pitch omitted? When a mechanical lever struck a plate that emitted a tone. The tv then receives the tone and completes the task.

I’m on the Proton train, but know now, you’ll never see a discount once you’re a customer. They will promo you up to a more premium plan, but I recommend only comparing proton at full price.

Edit: I'm on a proton family plan. I’ve watched since October for any kind of deal or promo with Black Friday. There’s nothing available once you’re on this type of plan.

You will be offered a discount the first time you up to this plan, but once on it, nothing.

This sentiment is all over the proton communities.

For what it’s worth, I’m not expecting any BIG discounts from proton, but it would feel a lot better if they offered something (5 or 10 percent) on an annual subscription that’s nearly $300. (Yes I know annual is discounted from monthly, as is always the case).

As a subscriber it feels like you’re just part of the revenue stream and forgotten.
