nagaram@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignationEnglish5·4 days agoYa wanna host it on my forgejo instance?
I’m about to move it to a kubenetes cluster once my parts come in.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•The US Coast Guard Marine Board of Investigation tasked with examining the June 2023 implosion of the Titan submersible released its reportEnglish17·10 days agoI always am shocked at how detailed the reports are, but I imagine they have to legally record and report on absolutely everything they found even if its irrelevant.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•The AI bubble is so big it's propping up the US economy (for now)English1·10 days agoA grad course in AI/LLM/ML might actually be useful. Its where my old roommates learned about Googles Transformers and got into LLMs before the hype bubble in 2018.
Home might get ahead of the curve for the next over inflated hype bubble and then proceed to make unearned garbage loads of money and have learned something other than how to put ChatGPT in a new wrapper.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Games@lemmy.world•The Final Stretch Towards Release - Skyblivion Development DiaryEnglish1·11 days agoCensorship?
What is missing from the original?
I’ve only played the remaster.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Games@lemmy.world•The Final Stretch Towards Release - Skyblivion Development DiaryEnglish29·13 days agoFuck yes dude! I’m so excited to play this!
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•if you use GrapheneOS on a pixel device, is it something you'd recommend for a privacy worried user? How seamless is running it after install?3·14 days agoI figured it was just a skill issue on my end that Spotify wasn’t working, but I really should be just buying CDs/digital albums as opposed to paying the Spotify subscription
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•if you use GrapheneOS on a pixel device, is it something you'd recommend for a privacy worried user? How seamless is running it after install?8·14 days agoI’m a week into using GrapheneOS and its been great. It is a little restrictive in that I seem to have to explicitly allow apps to run and apps like my Bank app or Spotify don’t work.
However, most apps are just Web Apps at this point and I’ve noticed very little difference in the use of the app versus the pinned browser version.
I’m also trying to curb a phone addiction so Graphene + Lemmy + Mastodon + Jellyfin is all I’m using on this thing.
I assume google headphones would cease to work if I degoogle the device
I’m using my Pixel Buds. They work just as well. Remember, its just a Bluetooth device just without all the QOL stuff like voice control.
I recommend trying it. Graphene OS install also has instruction ions to revert if you change your mind. And it’s pretty easy. Maybe a touch harder than installing Linux generally, but if your dailying Debian, you’re fine.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Games@lemmy.world•The Steam controller was ahead of its timeEnglish6·1 month agoFully agree. I tried to make the SC work and wrote off a lot of it as “I’m just not used to it”, but it really is asking a lot. In its defence, it was a first run product. The fact that it’s still ass usable and as weird is impressive enough to me. But it’s better as a piece of gaming history than a good product. It was just a good try.
I also agree with the Steam deck controls being actually good. I want the SC2 that’s just a steam deck without the screen or computer.
So I guess the opposite of the steam brick.
I’d gladly pay $100 to have a steam deck like control scheme for my desktop. Rechargeable batteries and a Linux first design would be awesome. I don’t mind just using cables all the time, but I would like better wireless options for Linux gamepads (though to be fair, I haven’t tried connecting a wireless controller to a Linux box in 5 years).

Whack. I just set up a Forgejo too.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen adsEnglish72·2 months agoThat’s crazy.
Anyways I’m gonna pitch never buying a Samsung phone again to the HR people if this comes true.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Why selfhosted social media protocols are hated ?English3·2 months agoDespite everything. I was considering giving it a try, just to see.
But your right, if there’s a CSAM community on there I would inevitably host it to.
So I will not be trying plebbit

nagaram@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Pro-AI Subreddit Bans 'Uptick' of Users Who Suffer from AI DelusionsEnglish45·2 months agoI think Terry A Davis would have found god in chat GPT and could have figured out the API calls on TempleOS
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•[is this LEGIT ?] Piracy Stewie on Instagram: "Free chat gpt tutorial!! Halal method at the end!!"English18·3 months agoI just assume anything that promises free stuff on Instagram reels is in fact a scam or a hack.
Also I’m not getting on that shit site to confirm it’s true.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Games@lemmy.world•"Official" Russian Military game depicting invasion of Ukraine released on Steam as Yunarmy propagandaEnglish21·3 months agoOf the lines I draw in my gun purchasing decisions (you’re right they’re all war profitiers), IWI and the like is the only one that I actively disuade people from.
That being said, the engineering history nerd in me is easily compelled to learn about design philosophies
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Help extracting kindle booksEnglish4·3 months agoLots of places do a better job providing DRM free or DRM Lite ebooks (Chicago press only ties your name to the files so you’d have to doxx yourself to share it, but you can share it), but the sheer library of self published books on Amazon is hard to find.
There’s an author I’ve become good friends with who I pay him (in coffee) for his books because I disagree with giving Amazon a cent. But he noted that’s just where the masses are still and it’s hard to break that momentum.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Games@lemmy.world•"Official" Russian Military game depicting invasion of Ukraine released on Steam as Yunarmy propagandaEnglish121·3 months agoI’m sure the people of Gaza are always excited to play the “counter terrorists” on Dust 2 as well.
It took watching a bunch of videos on Israeli weapons development before I learned who uses the fucking Negev
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Games@lemmy.world•"Official" Russian Military game depicting invasion of Ukraine released on Steam as Yunarmy propagandaEnglish7·3 months agoMakes sense. The government probably didn’t want to fund 2 games studios when 1 is fine.
I have been putting off scheduling my next therapy appointment.
