this is the most responsible idea. i love it

that’s a great idea re: music. i use a ton of Chromecast audios and, when Google “forgot to update the certs” I was SOL

How can one reproduce this?

It’s not often discussed that Microsoft, Amazon, and other ‘very cool’ tech companies still practice this 80s firing the bottom 10% bull.. It has nothing with being a low performer, but everything to do with culling jobs indiscriminately and creating an in/out culture. Managers are forced to place employees into bottom performance slots, sometimes arbitrarily, so that teams/groups/departments fit the bell curve nicely. Then, people get fired, bonuses go out, and everything is peachy at the end of the fiscal yesr.

Let that stew for a few years and these behemoths are factories of pet projects and crunch culture. Your long-timers are either golden performers who’ve seen massive churn and project turbulance OR they’re climbers, willing to step on top of anyone or burn any project to climb the ladder or at least keep their spots.

Thanks for the info. This is really promising.

Price?

VS Code has a fully open source base which excludes proprietary extensions and default telemetry ( kind of how AOSP is for Android)

This is great work. Thank you for your contributions

Ollama is FOSS, SD has a proproprietary but permissive, source-available license, but it is not what most people would associate with “open-source”

This is so awesome. I this will be my light reading for the next week

Thats the vibe. In this case, it seems like they get more value from the signals they interpret from the devices already out there.

In a better world, these devices (and maybe even the Chromecast protocol) would be open sourced

Here’s a list of self-host/foss/Linux YouTubers. Check them out. I’ve learned SO much from them:

• Veronica Explains
• Network Chuck
• Jim’s Garage
• Andrea Borman
• Awesome Open Source
• Techno Tim

I can add links to each but searching should find them easily

I have this exact same setup. Open Web UI has more features than I’ve been able to use such as functions and pipelines.

I use it to share my LLMs across my network. It has really good user management so I can set up a user for my wife or brother in law and give them general use LLM while my dad and I can take advantage of Coding-tuned models.

The code formatting and code execution functions are great. It’s overall a great UI.

Ive used LLMs to rewrite code, help format PowerPoint slides, summarize my notes from work, create D&D characters, plan lessons, etc

Valid concern as I use their browser often. From their FAQ (link):

I’m considering adding it to the alternatives list I posted. Can anybody else validate their privacy policy? Seemd ok but I’m a bit iffy regarding their use of telemetry. Maybe I’m overthinking it
