  • Majority of Android users aren't sold on Gemini Intelligence, survey reveals

    Jump

  • Eh, I use Gemini to project manage my little herb garden. Low stakes, well trodden ground. It was the kind of thing I knew LLMs could handle for stuff I do know about, so I'm trusting it for something I don't know about.

    Ultimately it doesn't matter if my herbs live or die, I know I'll kill them on my own though. Gardening isn't a skill I want to actively acquire, I just want the herbs. It (the garden) is doing fine. I had some yellow leaves, the bot said to top dress it, I did, no more yellow leaves. So far so good.

    Anything beyond the well trodden LLMs are shit at though. I tried to use it to find a specific motorcycle part, discontinued by the manufacturer: it couldn't. When I wanted it to shop for me, it failed. It seems to be doing well managing this non-commercial project for me.

  • Privacy-preserving alternative to Ring cameras (Raspberry Pi Zero 2W)!

  • Besides, it's just a good way of doing it. For the people that want to DIY: here's the instructions. For people that just want the thing: here's the payment instructions.

    Sometimes I just want the thing.

  • How would you expose Jellyfin securely without a vpn?

    Jump

  • I stuck a rPi in their houses that runs pihole+nginx+tailscale. As far as they're concerned they go to https://jellyfin.example.domain/ and they're there.

    Better yet, they go to http://homarr.notlocal/ and they have nice little icons to click on, that take them to all the front-end services I run.

    They get pihole goodness for free. Their homepage is attached to their pihole if they want to pause/stop it.

    I'd like to set them up to be more declarative than I have, setup/updating is a pain. Nix is interesting but the learning curve is too steep for the effort I'm willing to put in. As per usual, being lazy will end up being more work for me in the long run.

  • Phillipson to ban trans women from female toilets

    Jump

  • Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

    On the positive side you have global and national policies. Global warming, benefits, immigration all have massive impact.

    On the negative side you have one social commentary on police brutality , or perceived police brutality, in a single case.

    They have good policies, no-one is going to be perfect. Vote Green

  • Phillipson to ban trans women from female toilets

    Jump

  • Problem is the right already have 2 parties to vote for, they'll just push voters away, either to apathy or other parties.

    Here's hoping we can convince enough Labour voters, who didn't want this stupid, pointlessly cruel right-wing shit, to vote Green.

  • Google introduces Gemini Spark, a 24/7 agentic assistant with Gmail integration, at IO 2026

    Jump

  • Who's hosting your email? I'd like to migrate, I'm just facing a bit of choice paralysis.

  • There's an imposter in this bag of 🍋

    Jump

  • Huh, I thought the 'line that processes lemons' and the 'line that processes oranges' would be seperate. At least seperate times to retool, if not seperate building, or even seperate countries.

    TIL, citrus fruits all get sent to the same place and packaged there.

  • UK Ranked Second-Worst Place in Western Europe for LGBTI+ Rights

    Jump

  • Ah, that's why we're called TERF island.

    Could someone educate me, is the LGBTI+ for 'intersex'? A typo? Because 'Queer' is an old, and I suppose current, slur?

  • What's that video game boss you've never been able to beat, or took you the longest to beat?

    Jump

  • Nameless king. I finally caved and accepted I would have to summon to beat him... Ah fuck.

    The only soulsborne I didn't beat, but I didn't play after getting hard stuck on him. I did beat everyone solo though, which is why it was such a decision to think about summoning.

  • Adam McKay Says ‘No Group Is Worse’ For America Than ‘White Liberals’: ‘They’re Getting a Lot From This Broken System’

    Jump

  • 'Letter from a Birmingham jail' as true today as it was then. What's the saying about not learning from history, and repeating it?

  • What gaming console you own/owned disappointed you the most and why ?

    Jump

  • Xnone. I bought it on, and for, the Fallout 4 release. They both sucked so bad I haven't bought a console, or Bethesda game since.

    I still want the console experience though. Couch gaming, mostly all set up. I don't have the inclination to research a build, buy all the individual parts and build the thing.

    I was thinking about a Beelink SER8, but the Steam Machine announced. When the steam machine releases I'll compare it to equal price point minis. Steam gets a valve bonus, plus a bonus to knowing that's the target Devs will be trying to hit.

  • Food mass production

    Jump

  • Someone didn't learn about how poisons concentrate up the food chain. Biomagnification, if you care to learn.

    I learned about it, at school, from a video having people dressed up as rabbits grabbing lettuces of sticks (some injected with blue poison) and someone dressed up as a fox clubbing the rabbit people. Also, due to that video, the sound of the narrator saying 'Arctic char' will live rent free in my head.

  • Starmer brings in Gordon Brown and Harriet Harman to ease pressure on him to resign

    Jump

  • Gosh, I hope not. But, I acknowledge we might disagree on that

    I guess the problem is that the anti-Reform vote is split among multiple parties.

    There is a solution to that. After IDs we can acknowledge no referendum is required for election changes. Then push through Proportional Representation. Helps that labour have been elected on that premise before. PR naturally positions the center as the most powerful entity too, even in extreme times such as these.

    LoRa mesh is an absolutely PROPRIETARY, CLOSED SOURCE scam that wasted my money

    Jump

  • What does that have to do with meshtastic being open source, while LoRa is not? Please stay relevant to the thread.

    You're just confirming that you are incapable of communicating with me, peer-to-peer, as a person fluent in English. I agree that you clear that bar, I think it's a shame you feel the need to lower it that far.

    For your own sake, go do something else. Nothing about meshtastic is worth this much heartache, I promise you.

    Jump

  • First question: I am not backpedaling. I am not a patient or kind person, and my cruelty is not the subhuman Israeli variety. Telling me you buy Intel products immediately eliminates any chance of me thinking you can engage with me peer-to-peer as a fluent English speaker. I hope that makes what I was trying to say clearer, since it seems you struggled to understand the previous phrasing.

    I can work with that. Given that you do not know "I run Linux happily on intel, AMD, etc, etc." Is a cromulent English sentence, you have eliminated any chance of me thinking you can engage with me peer to peer as a fluent English speaker. I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, but that has been eliminated now too.

    Second question: correct, a future multimodal version of Meshtastic is a good, plausible, perhaps likely idea when someone feels like coding it. I'll still never be involved under a brand name that scammed my fucking money from me.

    Thanks that's all I needed. You are a deeply un-serious person with a deeply un-serious point.

    Just as an aside. If you have to lower the 'cruelty' bar to 'Israeli Genocide' in order go clear it, introspection may be required.

  • People don't keep buying Intel past lvl50, idk what to tell you

    Would you like to change your silly back peddling in to a genuine apology?

    What's stopping meshtastic running without LoRa? Just that no-one has yet to write the capability into the source code yet?

  • I get that you're at the Intel buying level of person

    What does that mean? When are we doing level of person now? Am I a greater or lesser level of person than you? Genuinely answer that: am I a greater or lesser level of person than you because I buy intel/amd products?

    Anyways, my point was more about Linux still being considered open source.

  • I didn't know LoRa was proprietary, it's also not concerning to me. I run Linux happily on intel, AMD, etc, etc. Thanks for the information though.

  • "No organic marketing for us, thanks" is certainly a position to take.
