pro-tip:

if you missed configuring something during installation, and liked the little TUI interface for doing things, you can use it at any time afterwards in your installed system by just running sysinst as root. the 'Config menu' option likely has most of the things of interest.

you can also launch directly into the TUI partitioner with sysinst -p.

also! if the display messes up at any point while you are using sysinst, you can press CTRL+L to redraw everything. this sometimes happens if kernel messages print while you are doing something. (this keyboard shortcut works in other TUI programs as well)

It is always worth remembering that "The Hanging Tree" is a song written by Lucy Gray, and although President Snow tried to erase it from history, it was sung by Katniss Everdeen, becoming a symbol of the revolution against a fascist government.

Also, I progress slow, since I can't really put more than 30 minutes to an hour at a time into this, but slow progress is progress.

@veronica I had great success designing a electric plug in Solvespace. It is very minimal, but does everything it needs to. It does parametric design, and constraint solving; their docs are pretty good, too. FreeCAD just never clicked for me tbh.

long post with lots of extremely varied info on “AI”/LLMs, read it

Folks, I think we're now past the time where we can claim to be in the middle about generative AI usage.

You're either for it and okay with intellectual theft, racism, land grabs, polluted water, higher power bills, and creating an addicted population that can't think.

Let alone the building of new polluting coal/oil/gas power plants and even of millions-of-years-of-long-term-damage-and-destruction nuclear power plants, including the destruction of "one of the most green and vibrant ecosystems in Iceland", as Bjaldur noted.

Oh, and the systematic exploitation of humans in mostly "the global south" for the sorting and tagging of the thieved works ("training data"), exposing them to the absolute worst of things found online, mostly in darknets.

And the eso-fascism of the TESCREAL ideology behind it, active haters of humanity. And the eugenicism that comes with it.

And all of the things that make it ethically unviable. Also digital slavery, in essence.

I probably could continue. There’s just so much wrong with all of the current genAI/LLM and things built around it, and you’re complicit if you knowingly use it…

Or you're against it.

Full quote from Rachel "Red Pen" Lapidow, repeated here (and added to) so I can pin it.

Oh, by the way: adding the output from “AI” to a project must be handled the same as adding something under incompatible/proprietary licences: verboten (or the project is no longer FOSS, and probably not even legally distributable any more)
You can construct exceptions to that. But even if you train a model from scratch using only GPLv3-licenced (say) works, you still need to reproduce all copyright notices and the GPLv2-or-later, LGPL, MIT/BSD/etc. (and Apache2 NOTICE files!) as embedded in the GPLv3 sources, in the licence grant for the model as derived work of all these works, and from which follows you must also honour the licence and reproduce all these in works that contain output from that model. That’s the practical aspect (ending up being rather impractical, but this is the law), but now please do this ethically and environmentally harmless, thanks.)

I still think "AI tool" is either a contradiction, or a way to describe the sloperator

Hot take: Docker is popular for the same reason AI is.

You don’t have to learn to set up the stuff yourself… just use someone else’s work.

A few more reasons to avoid the fashtech thingy: (some newer added at the end; older entries from the top are moved to replies to make space if needed)

(We’re at over 22k characters again. At some point, I will move more off the top of the list, between the intro post and the bottom of the list, into a separate post (a reply to this post) to make space. Why the top of the list, not the bottom? Because I append at the bottom, so this post is the one people interact with (favourite, boost) to get edit notifications.)

Today in Labor History October 16, 1859: Abolitionist John Brown led his famous raid on the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry in order to obtain weapons to defeat the forces of slavery. The raid failed and Brown was executed, the very first person to be executed for treason in the U.S. Brown was an Evangelical Christian who believed he was "an instrument of God", raised to strike the "death blow" to American slavery. Harriet Tubman had helped John Brown plan his raid on Harper’s Ferry and helped recruit supporters for the raid. Just a few years prior, in 1853, John Brown, and his supporters in the Pottawatomie Rifles, killed five pro-slavery settlers in front of their families, leading to a mini-civil war in Kansas that was a prelude to the national Civil War that would follow a few years later. The Pottawatomie Rifles were an armed militia created to counter growing pro-slavery presence in Kansas.

Brown committed his life to the abolition of slavery after abolitionist printer Elijah P. Lovejoy was murdered by a pro-slavery mob in Alton, Illinois, in 1837. When informed of the murder, Brown said publicly: "Here, before God, in the presence of these witnesses, from this time, I consecrate my life to the destruction of slavery." Victor Hugo, who was living in exile on Guernsey, tried to obtain a pardon for Brown. His open letter was published by the press on both sides of the Atlantic. His plea failed, of course. On the day of his execution, John Brown rode in a furniture wagon, on top of his own coffin, through a crowd of 2,000 soldiers, to the gallows. The soldiers included future Confederate general Stonewall Jackson and John Wilkes Booth. Walt Whitman described the execution in his poem “Year of Meteors.”
