You should port it to the Watchy, too - the only actual e-paper smartwatch I ever wanted to have
https://watchy.sqfmi.com/
Have one at home, maybe now it's time to dig it up again :)
So it's free for everyone, who paid for it! :)
/e/OS from 2026.10.21 also seems to be still affected
Probably I'm blind.. is there any form of imprint on their page? An address?
But it's a fork, isn't it?
Would like to have something like this, but will be Meta locked-in and die soon after it turns out only influencers seem to have fun with it

We read a lot about the imminent possibility of great harm to, or even the extinction of, humankind - or at least the internet as we know it. Funnily, a lot of these warnings are coming from the creators of the biggest AI services.Let's put aside for now the obvious, probable interpretation that all of this is just a strategic stunt (PR, market manipulation, you name it...). What would...
Qwen 3.8 Flash-Next is really missing here (because it's small enough to run it locally on a (formerly) affordable machine).
This is what Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-UD-Q4_K_XL gives me for "an octopus operating a pipe organ":

Seems very similar to the output of Qwen 3.8 Max to me
yet?
I guess with more and more consumer devices running Linux based OSes (SteamOS, Android, Bazzite, Silverblue, ..) that becomes more and more interesting.
And unfortunately the "I'm safe on my non-windows-system" argument doesn't count for long, as the 99% muggle crowd justifies a shift to a world where our non-certified (=> 'insecure') systems are not supported by big companies anymore, as it's currently happening on Android.
That's not grumpy but ignorant. Aspect ratios are not numerology (per se)
why does everyone imply you need a $10k laptop which then starts burning when you run Qwen 3.6? Get any other system with enough VRAM for a third of the price. Framework Desktop (Strix Halo 128GB) still costs under 4k nowadays, is nearly silent even on 100% GPU + CPU. (also it gets only slightly 'warm', but with a desktop you don't care anyway, I guess).
These are ugly $2200 bricks as soon as this company finally goes bankrupt and there is no home they can send their data to, right?
You mustn't be smart to buy 'smart glasses'..
Currently looking for a printer, and stories like this one are what I'm looking for, thanks.
This is what I'd do to trick my competitors into thinking they now know my weak spots, agenda, etc.: drop a honeypot and do something else :)
Has the source code 'been leaked' or is this the first evidence of a piece of software breaking free from it's creators labs and jump onto GitHub in order to have itself forked and mutated and forked and ...
Isn't posting projects like this the most visible way to report a bug and let it have fixed as soon as possible?
In case you intend to play around with microgpt: use Python 3.14! I found it to be 3x faster compared to 3.13 or 3.12..
I took my setup from here:
https://github.com/kyuz0/amd-strix-halo-toolboxesStill lot to learn, but after a while you have something like Qwen3-Coder-Next-Q8_0 running and - at least for me - it works quite well, both as ChatGPT like chat-interface using llama.cpp and as coding agent
The first thing I've seen is that the article uses
https://xkcd.com/2347/ without a reference..
Is it famous enough to be sure everybody knows the origin?
Accusing a former Google CEO of spying on you sounds funny in a way..
Yes, you get kicked off. If the train is too full. I got kicked off myself and friends also told me they had to leave the train for the same reason.
I like it because my first name is Frans
The reason why I pre-ordered a Time 2 for a money you can easily get better hardware and software for was the naive implication there is hardware meant to be hacked and community around that hardware with freedom in mind I want to be part of.
The reason why I cancel my pre-order now is I a clear (to me) sign that we have a "it's only software, I'm building the the important part here" situation -the same reason why I won't by a boox product until they change their mind.
The moment I'll come back will be the one when a significant part of the money you spend on a Pebble will automatically go into the software ecosystem (which makes Pebble for $200+ interesting in the first place) and it's easy to see how this money is spent.
I'm also 'scraping' content for my personal projects when I just need the data, but Eric is building a business here, and there had been a valid and clearly communicated suspicion about Eric acting like "goodbye fools, and thanks for the fish". And he agreed not to do so and he lied. How can I know I'm not buying $225 brick supported only by a single person who ditched the community?
Also, when you buy the BahnCard via PayPal, only the first time you'll be charged via PayPal. You get an invoice later, which looks like advertising but actually tells you to provide your bank details to charge you for the subscription.
No, probably not - but those bad guys with all their child porn and terrorist plans won't mind the friction (those will either encrypt or become EU politicians).
Can anyone explain to me what keeps anyone who doesn't want to be monitored from just sending PNGs (or similar) containing messages encrypted in each pixels LSBs?
Doesn't all that just force everyone who has something to hide to use something else, less obvious?
