I believe both sides can be quite extreme so here's my balanced take:
>supplementary use of AI (chatbots, TTS, NPCs, enemy AI, RPGs, level generation, self-driving cars, AI assistants and code generation) are pretty based actually as long as they produce correct outputs and don't get you into any legal trouble
>non-commercial use of AI is also fine and can create something unique and interesting (memes, AI covers, AI dubbing)
>AI art is mostly slop except for some rare exceptions so people should at least be able to easily filter it and it should be marked appropriately
>commercial use of AI other than what was already mentioned is NOT cool and leads to more layoffs, more enshittification, more plagiarism and more mass surveillance
>proprietary AI software is ALSO not cool since it can be spyware that sends your data to the NSA

Oh, I forgot to mention two other major drawbacks: increased hardware prizes and environmental impact. The corpos, due to the AI craze, started buying GPUs and RAM en masse while gamers and Earth-chan got fucked in the ass. But instead of the corpos reducing their use of AI they're trying to push it on people as a solution to a problem they created. And that solution makes games look like shit.

Man. Remember when high-budget games looked actually photorealistic and didn't require a data center to run? Me neither.

This might sound absurd but AI will only be relevant once people give a shit about its opinions on the work people create. In other words AI has to become a consumer and humans the producer.

Okay, I just tested it and .dsf or .flac audio files played from drives in the Linux box or xsx thru the receiver come close to analog but require a boost in gain from the software player and receiver to achieve it, and this thru HDMI version 2.1. The analog output from the computer still sounds better. Remastered and streamed ai slop always sound worse. A1 enhanced A/V is a bad joke unless that's what the end user is looking for, a joke. The funniest thing I ever saw from the forced a1 in duckduckgo search was the phrase "I understand". Heh..
If you don't want to own physical media and prefer renting streams or making crappy pr0n or getting force fed faulty info from costly data centers, I guess a1 is for you.

I was using icecat for android for so long that it was since removed from fdroid. It's horribly insecure and out of date and I had to switch to regular firefox android (or is it called fennec? Idk). It's livable, and ublock and privacy badger work so I'm relatively happy. I'm a lot less enraged today than I was 6 months ago, but that's because I've become a better person not because mozilla is better.

Just noticed that Firefox Android is missing the screenshot tool and the ability to duplicate a tab.

Chrome on android has a screenshot tool if you click share but it fails for long threads.

If I want to screenshot a whole leftychan thread I just open it on my laptop and use the developer tools to make it preview what it looks like on mobile, and then use the screenshot tool.

FOSS will give Tesla a run for its money. It works with many newish (2018 onwards) cars. The hardware costs $1k versus $10k+ for Tesla autopilot.

There's a Nintendo 64 app called retro-crypto that can encrypt data and generate wallet addresses and stuff.

Because what do you trust more to encrypt your messages, your "smartphone" or your N64?

That's kinda cool but how do we know they implemented crypto correctly? Cryptography libraries have to be audited, and an n64 probably lacks some of the hardware support a modern processor users for crypto, meaning it would have to be re-implemented in software, and who knows if they did that 100% correct.
>>

 No.13775

>>13771
You'd be surprised how much power the N64 has, if you look at the github it's mostly just stitching together existing libraries: https://github.com/bowler-bear/retro-crypto

However, more code review is still needed before this can be recommended for more than testing. (Fixed github link after I had it wrong before)

Warning: Moar NixOS shilling

NixOS is a source based distro. It will either copy pre-build binaries from a binary cache if it exists, or if you customized some packages, it will download the source code, and compile it for you.

In my case I have a computer I use as a router, so it hosts wifi. But to do that it needs some non standard kernel configurations and patches for the wifi driver (because of some legal bullshit with radios).

That router computer has a relatively slow CPU compared to my desktop rig, so for a major update the kernel alone takes about an hour and a half to rebuild.

But NixOS is crazy - it lets me run the nixos-rebuild command with an option to use my other computer for all the compiling heavy-lifting. So I'm sitting here right now watching my 16 core machine compile the kernel for my router. And all I had to do was set up an ssh key and run the command.

Admit it that's fucking cool.

Gatekeeping a socialist chan from mobile users makes no sense.

Chans famously work like dogshit on mobile, so I want to explore the best possible way a chan can look on a mobile device.

>What app in your opinion is the gold standard for mobile UX?
>Have you heard of any UI toolkits that you think would work well for a chan?
>Have you ready any modern design philosophy that you think is worth looking into to implement?

Bottom line: what should leftychan look like on a phone(idealized version)?

This needs to be thought about eventually if we don't want to completely die out. New generations won't understand how to navigate a website that doesn't work the way they expect on their device.

I use the "Chance" app to browse 4chan. If you could make this site compatible with that, that would be tremendous.

Cool, I checked it out. It's pretty feature-full but a bit cluttered in terms of design. And I think it only supports 4chan, so you would still have to download another app to use it I think.

But it is one way to do it, you're right. I'll keep studying design though, I think chance can be improved-upon.
