Because the political and economical situation is extreme.

Hmm.. I can see the thread in mastodon, except for that specific comment. Everything is visible if I visit social.kernel.org in Firefox though.

Any shitty old laptop can self host any git service as long you only have a single or handful of users.

I'm in tech. LinkedIn has only done damage when it comes to finding a job. It brings a lot of noise into the process. Will never use it again.

It's the language of GNU. And a scheme. That's also why you would choose Haunt. It's probably not for you.

If you're into GNU/Guile Scheme, there is also Haunt: https://dthompson.us/projects/haunt.html

My only advice is that you stick to one model and give it some time. You need to "learn" your model. I will probably never go back. I had huge issues with getting good results from Google and my subjective experience is that this is far better. However, I do still use conventional search engines as a complement. It's not all or nothing.

This is the one I use: https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/agents/

Just tell the modell to do web searches in the system prompt.

All providers should have something similar. With a user friendly UI.

If you code your own agent and utilize an API or run a model locally, you can of course do even more. There are many tools if you want to do RAG on your own local data.

Because it's useful. Have you tried? But the LLM has to be able to use conventional search engines as well. I tell my LLM agent to prioritize certain kinds of websites and present a compressed answer with references. Usually works way better than a standard Google search (which only produce AI generated junk results anyway).

You can get very good answers or search results by utilizing RAG.

Super expensive Apple, Adobe and Canon equipment? Because they don't know better and symbols of social status are important?

My guess is that most of the world, including Swedes, has become more positive towards "Made in China" since January 19.

 

Most listed posts show a score of 100 or 96. If I select a post the correct number is shown. I don't see this behavior in the web client. I'm on lemmy.zip. Jeroba version 0.0.77-gplay.

 

I see plenty of links to Euronews in this community. Just want to remind you all that Euronews is linked to the Hungarian government and Viktor Orbán. Consider that before you post something.

 

If one wants to try a full size DeepSeek R1 model that is hosted within the EU, what provider do you recommended?

It's a big plus if privacy is good. And I'm not interested in big tech solutions.

 

Last couple of months has been dramatic and there is a huge demand for ethical and safe social media. Even mainstream conservatives start to look for alternatives when US oligarchs wage hybrid warfare against their nation.

And there are so many low hanging fruits right now. Like Facebook event and marketplace replacements on the fediverse. Or just a Facebook alternative that isn't Frendica. Or maybe a commercial fork of Frendica.

I'm not involved in any development of fediverse software, so I'm asking here. Do you experience more interest from venture capital?

Also, I assume EU will pour big money into social media alternatives, starting 2025.

Note: I'm not interested in a discussion regarding if VC is good or bad for the fediverse. That's a good topic for another post though.

 

I plan to end my Facebook account before January 19. I like the format and would like something similar in the Fediverse. Also, I need a good Facebook alternative I can show people when trying to convince them to leave Facebook.

So what is the best Facebook alternative as of 2025? Frendica, Diaspora or Pleroma? Or something new and promising?

 

Can one still claim that the USA is a liberal democracy? Where do you draw the line?

 

I got my Emacs setup fully functional and now I'm doing a little bit of hacking on my config files. (Because that's what you do on Christmas eve, when the children has fallen asleep.)

However, even though I use Geiser and fancy rainbow parentheses (plus extra Christmas bling), I run into these stupid invalid specifier errors. And the compiler output is neither pretty nor helpful. It basically gives me a large chunk of unformatted code and says there's an invalid specifier somewhere.

Questions:

Is it possible to make Guile do a pretty print on the error output?

Is it possible to make Guile error messages more precise about the problem?
