On my last flight, I read Jessica Valenti's Abortion book.

It's a great read and I encourage everyone to stop the christian nationalism behind the current anti-woman and anti-choice laws sweeping the #USA. Don't worry #men, they will come for you next. #abortion #pro-choice #rationalhealth #BodyAutonomy.

Can anyone recognize what is wrong with this building? #typenerds only.

Just #optout of big tech. Fuck them all.

Happy #Pi Day. Thanks to Larry Shaw from #SanFrancisco for starting it in 1988.

Pi Day - Wikipedia

Went out to eat tonight. Restaurant only has #qrcodes no actual menus. OK whatever. It's a black and gray qrcode on a black shiny leather stand on the table. Took forever to scan it. Next, my qr scan app let's me see it before opening a browser tab. Why does the URL end in .de for a #SanFrancisco restaurant? Its a Japanese place as well. OK, moving on. Load the website, "access denied" and some long #clownflare "ray id". Try again. Still denied. Show waitress, she rolls eyes and hands me a tablet. The tablet has the PDF of the menu as the only thing on the screen. Open it up. Like ten Adobe ads popup. Ugh. We're not done. Still haven't ordered yet. While poking at tablet, notice it's on the " POS" WiFi network. Look at browser history. It helpfully has admin panel link to the point of sale system. Choose it. Up pops the admin console and browser asking to autofill credentials. Uhh... Waitress comes over to take order. Swipe back to menu and order. She then takes the tablet to another table. After eating and getting the bill, I take out #cash, because no way am I giving them a credit card with that tablet on same WiFi. Waitress says they don't take cash, only tap and pay. Tell her I only have cash. Manager comes over and takes the cash. As I'm leaving overhear manager say, "second time today someone doesn't have a card and like tenth time tonight they can't use the qrcode." Fun times.

Mostly relevant still today. Oddly prescient.

Proof of #BSD.

How it started: I setup #ollama on a $250 old mini pc, downloaded a few models, installed openweb-ui, gave a few friends access to it. How it's going: The PC is running 100% like 14 hours a day with friends and family of friends using it. Some have cancelled their paid accounts to use this instead. I maxed out the ram at 64 GB to keep more models in ram based in usage patterns. I'm now hosting ollama as a service. People pitched in to pay for the ram and power without me asking. Responses aren't instant because no usable GPU (AMD 680M) but no one seems to care. #Privacy > speed.
