My family does “digital detox” weekends before. Its made certain days more interesting and fun since we have to go out of our comfort zone to be entertained.

No screens are allowed.

WTF did I read

My favorite series is Dungeon Crawler Carl . Its so good. I have ALL of the physical books, the audio books (Jeff Hays is hilarious with his takes on the different characters).

My favorite book soap is The Wandering Inn . Its a free web serial and I find it VERY good. But it can have some lulls. I call it a “book soap” because if its size . I am a prolific reader and it took me YEARS to get though around 50% of the series. I have the ebooks, audio-books, and have enjoyed my forever book. The payoff is SO good. Tears of Liscor broke me. I had to take time off of reading for a while due to what felt like a bit of trauma.

When I was a kid, I loved the ring of fire series ( 1632 and such). I dont enjoy it as much, but the older books in the series I still enjoy re-reading from time to time.

I hated running into the “hidden” rules for communities by mods. You cant say certain words in certain communities as that would get you shadow-banned (you cant say meshcore in the meshtastic subreddit for instance).

And then reddit giving notices for up-voting certain content it does not want others to see .

They want conversions one way only. And supermods that have hundreds of subreddits under them like its a full time job…

Im glad im here.

Yeah they just have an emoji at the beginning of the username. However the changes they made comics do actually benefited us all. Sometimes collective discuss can make good things happen :)

Most commercial models were trained without permission via stolen artwork, copyrighted materials, etc…

My wife mostly. Followed by myself.

Naa its mostly fun to me! And the people i interact with seem like good people for the most part.

Same. Its somewhat useful on some very small scripting or tasks…but its mostly just to try out a new model or two. Its not really useful for anything big.

I will have to say…even my tiny models are about as good as Chatgpt/Claude/etc… which makes me think about how much people are spending on tokens regularly. I was able to get the same kind of python script started with my local tiny model that was comparable to the newest Claude code offerings.

I havent seen it. Theres an update just about every other month. Im currently sitting here downloading the newest version /e/ os 3.0 which released thismonth. I havent run into the bugs…but i usually wait a couple of weeks. Just best practice.

But if you dont want to use /e/ theres a huge selection of other OSes you can use. No need to stick with thiers.

I have the same one. Works great and we can het repair parts whenever.

Subbed. Thanks! Its a great comic. Didnt realize it was you!

Oh thats awesome

Awesome!

Post over here! We would love the comics!

Fediverse people are fun and actual people. Well other than the furries.

Whats the comic source?

Whats the comic source?

Maybe we should let communities/instances have their own deletion policy if this continues to become a problem? Im seeing this a LOT with very new accounts. It looks somewhat coordinated .

My old company stopped putting money into our 401ks. I told a couple of co-workers that was REALLY strange and that it could lead to a lawsuit. I asked management about it and they said to “trust the process”. The business failed about a month later and never saw the money. I worked for the IRS at one point and knew its VERY illegal to take money out of 401k and not put it in the designated accounts.

They got sued by a class action after the initial bankruptcy and we, the workers, won. We got about 1/3 of the total money. Still sucked…but I was right!

And people went to jail. They didn’t want to give us access to the 401k for little more than a year after the bankruptcy which scared a LOT of people because they rolled over their accounts.

Honestly the founders got off easy. Theres a ton the IRS can do…and the lawsuit did use three letter federal resources to prosecute.
