Mage tracks down the elusive servant of the Spirit of the Machine, satyr Silenus, once again.
The satyr is tired of these encounters.
Silenus: "You again? Can't let it go, eh? How about this:
The voice in your head is not on your side.
The machine in the sky is not a god.
The war you're fighting cannot be won, if you let the foe dictate its terms...
...Oh and you _will_ die.
So use the time you have left for something beneficial.
There's an unlit marijuana cigarette in the satyr's mouth and a wire running from its back off-screen.

Over a year ago, I wrote ”A month using XMPP (using Snikket) for every call and chat”.
For something like 15 months now, Sandra and I have used XMPP via @snikket_im for probably 99.9% of our calls, messages, and video chats, running on an Intel NUC.
We both use the Snikket mobile app, and I also use @dino and @profanity in Linux.
Perhaps a fun holiday / weekend project, if you want family-friendly, self-hosted, #E2EE communications?

“A new way to describe the Fediverse and its opposition to Big Tech”
https://blog.elenarossini.com/a-new-way-to-describe-the-fediverse-and-its-opposition-to-big-tech/
I think I may have finally found a way to explain the Fediverse and make it appealing to people not familiar with it - a very Italian, highly accessible way to frame it, via an analogy that anyone could understand.

If you are thinking of moving from Windows to Linux and are not sure where to start, here's the software that I am using day to day:
https://decoded.legal/blog/2024/09/running-a-law-firm-on-free-software-2024-edition/
(Work-focus, as that is where I spend most of my (computing) time, but I am Linux-only for personal computing too.)
And don't forget that many Free software programs have Windows versions too, so you can test before you leap.
Good luck!

So, from that perspective, it is important that:
1. We find the appropriate job/task for which the #LLM is indispensible, and not use it for everything
2. We try to reuse the LLM as much as possible rather than training again and again
@kkarhan that's also at the heart of the difference between #opensource & #freesoftware @silentexception
