Debian Maintainer | A Computer Nerd who also happens to be a Debian Packager.

I'm a hobbyist programmer. Outside of the computer world, I'm a STEM Major who likes inventing things.

I’m also a hobbyist graphic designer who mostly designs posters and media content for Debian India

Outside of geeky and nerdy stuff, I play a lot of video games, mostly single player ones.

Me today.

An Onion headline that says "Overambitious Man Wants To Get 2 Things Done Today", with a photo of a generic large white dude in a baggy khaki t-shirt, nondescript brown hair, standing in front of a 90s-looking kitchen (blonde timber cupboards, marbled countertop), hand on hip with an understated but confident "I can do this!" look on his face.

re: Mental health?
@sounddrill yeah tech isn't really the right pick for me as I thought it was. I've always been more of a science guy.

I can relate to the box thing and which is why I'm planning to move out. I can't do a lot of hobbies in this country. People here aren't into the same stuff as I am.

re: Mental health?
@sounddrill nope. Not gonna come to any Foss events other than the debian ones

re: Mental health?
@sounddrill in my case my burnout cycle made me realise that I’ve been doing the wrong thing all this time and that was the reason why I was getting burnt out in the first place

re: Mental health?
@sounddrill I just gave up on a lot of things and dialed back my lifestyle down to basics. At this point I don’t care about anything.

@divyaranjan Salsa is just a place where we host code. It's basically github for Debian. Just because something is on Salsa, doesn't mean that it's official.

re: Mental health?
@sounddrill Can relate. I've been under a constant burnout cycle for the past 1 year. It used to be bad but it's better now. I ended up quitting a lot of things and now considering changing my major too and that makes me feel better.

@divyaranjan It's optional honestly and that service was developed by someone who's been very pro-LLM from the start. This is not an official stance by the whole project.

It's a debian.net project not debian.org. .net is used for running community/experimental projects and .org is only meant for official infrastructure. This site linked here is not an official core part of the project.

The LLM policy also vaguely defines what "responsible" is, so by design this is allowed.

Back to eating 2 eggs a day everyday. Was severely malnourished for weeks because I didn't eat them enough + the crappy hostel food that makes people vomit.

@sounddrill @crmsnbleyd can relate. I often get 5-6 hours of sleep these days and I’m hella tired for the rest of the day. 9 hours is the bare minimum for me

Pentagon investigators have discovered that flawed intelligence and an overreliance on AI contributed to a missile strike that killed 123 Iranian school children

@contrapunctus Tbh I feel like people were more crazy about that festival this year. They've been collecting money for the statues rather too aggressively. I have no clue why every street needs its own statue when all of them are gonna be dumped into rivers which will be poisoned by them anyway but you can't expect common sense from people.

Subscription-model capitalism where you own nothing and just pay monthly fees forever (or until the corporation decides to make it unavailable) is especially funny after decades of "under communism you won't be able to own anything" propaganada.

@awai @werdahias @olasd @bremner The way I see it, the tech won't vanish forever but AI companies will see the end of themselves. The LLM technology is useful for certain tasks but not everything.

LLMs are being treated as a swiss army knife when they clearly can't be good at everything but unfortunately the marketing is way too strong and that's the thing that's not letting the bubble burst already.

@werdahias The masculine urge to send a reply to that email saying "Go fuck yourself, clanker" is irresistible.

@gwynnion The worse thing is even if people manage put their phones aside and go out, the other people wouldn't be interested in a person who doesn't use social media and would isolate you. It's a self fulfilling prophecy.
