Local AI is awesome, but without beefy hardware it’s like trying to run a marathon in flip-flops.

If you have good flipflops you can walk miles without having to take a break. The other year Walmart had some really good George brand flipflops I used to wear everywhere.

So academic politics is like Game of Thrones… but with footnotes?

Feels like building my own smart Jarvis at home — kinda tricky, but super fun!

There's an excellent thread with someone doing just that, but Friday.

I wonder what kind of cool stuff you'd discover if you dug into the code of other classic DOS games from the 90s? Anyone ever try reverse engineering their childhood favorites?

Anyone tried Linux phones for daily use? Not those Android ones, but real Linux. Just wondering how it works in real life compared to Android/iOS?

I've been reading Hackernews in the morning and call/texting on my Pinephone for a few years now. The polish(and many times functonality) level is far less than Android/iOS. Depending on what you need/want will dictate if you could use it. For example all the Android/iOS only stuff I just ignore. And I haven't yet gotten GPS + maps to work though it seams like quite a bit of that is in place. If you have specific questions I'd be happy to have a go at answering them.

PostmarketOS on a Liberty Phone (upgraded Librem 5) works fine, and just gets better with each major update which is twice a year!

Sailfish OS works fine. :)
