Might need some python, I tend to prefer Lua but it's pretty similar. It uses fediverse software and cheap hardware, think raspberry pi's except risc-v also it might use distributed local LLMs not to generate text, that's garbo and lame and stupid. Instead it uses them to transform text, maybe even translate text, into a more summarized form. Intentionally losing data, like a jpeg compression but for text. Might need some python for that. To glue it all together. The "distributed" part is a whitelist, so we'd need to write that too. Various small little utilities like that for connectivity. oh also there's a one-way ethernet cable that connects two of the boards so we'd need to store some information (easy) and send some UDP packets (hard) anyway it's pretty neat, lmk if you want my contact details and I can tell you about it. I might even be able to pay you. (everything open source, no telemetry, no backdoors, everything private is encrypted, etc etc) ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4597 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────── ┌────────────────────────┐ │ CW: politics-mentioned │ └────────────────────────┘ what if we made marketing part of research and development I mean, they're the ones who need to know what products people tend to prefer right? so... for every ad give the consumers a choice. then you'll be able to tell if they prefer the red gameboy or the purple-see-through. frankly it just makes sense to have 50% of the income go to products and 50% to administration. I mean, what are all those executives up to anywho? Their joyrides on yachts are great for socialize, but are they really more productive than coffee-shops at noon? seriously like it's not that big of a deal to just... reduce their salary. unless it really is about greed? control? power? pfweh, I thought so. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4598 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────── ┌───────────────────────┐ │ CW: cursing-mentioned │ └───────────────────────┘ I'm gonna play a fucking video game because I like video games and it's important to relax ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4599 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────── @user-1707 https://www.wrecka.ge/what-people-in-the-global-majority-need-from-networks/ saw this tonight, thought it was a good summary of needs that I saw elsewhere and have been trying to address ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4600 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────── they say the fediverse is at it's best when it's you and your collection of weirdos hanging out in a room together making toots and posting funnies then the reply guys ruined the fun. how do they keep finding??? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────┴───────────┘ |
