I would not say “often” better academically. It’s up to the resources the parents have. Poor families doing homeschooling end up poorly educated, wealthy educated families are more able to educate. Humans already did this up until the advent of modern public education systems.

In a public school, the idea is that both the rich family and the poor family are offered the same education, and this is better for society as a whole. I will agree that public education isn’t perfect and could be improved in almost every way, but opting for private education is leaving your child’s future up to random chance as dictated by your social status.

At some point you will try to socialize your homeschooled kid. If you live in a rough community where drugs, gangs, and teen pregnancies are relatively common, you won’t be able to avoid the same influences you’re trying to avoid in public schools. Except now it will be all they know.

IMO exposure to a larger population of people in a public school gives kids more reference for all the kinds of people in society, and control over who they want to interact with. Then it’s the parent’s job to make them feel empowered (not pressured) to make the best choice they have available.

If there is an HR dept, I would raise this with them. If you are no longer on the clock at 5pm, there’s nothing stopping you from hopping out of the vehicle wherever it is and going home. Keep a record of everything, what was asked of you and when, what action you took and when, and maybe even have a witness sign off. If they try to fire you with cause, you can sue for wrongful termination. Just remember that HR is there to prevent the company from being sued, they are not your friend.

At the end of the day, the real solution is obvious: this is what unions are for. Collective bargaining is how you even the odds with greed.

A bunch of people who couldn’t tell their left shift from their right shoelace think you don’t know what you’re talking about lol.

I agree, to a person who knows the machine, an AI is like a compiler: you know the output you’re going for, the tool helps you get there faster. Expecting you to do something the slow way because someone else doesn’t know how to code is nonsense. There is a massive difference between using it as a tool, and blindly taking generated code.

If the internet existed in the 70s, I bet people would have asked for a disclaimer on compiled assembly.

I’ve not heard of those, but to me this is a competitor to the much more ubiquitous Obsidian. Which works great, and has a whole community of support, but is not open source.

Personally, I don’t need my notes app not be responsible for syncing across devices either. I already have that for other file types (photos, media, etc).

I’m not against these features being added, but this app is young, afaik it’s one person writing it, so I’d rather see their time be spent making the note taking experience as good as it can be.

I also generally wouldn’t trust one person to properly audit the security of the networking and encryption features. If I wanted those features, I’d still give the community time to peruse the codebase.

I think it makes sense to handle this at a lower level. After using other notes apps, the thing I want is for it to not have some arbitrary opaque file hierarchy that locks me into it. I want a plain dir of .md files, some resources they link to, and that’s it. If I want disk encryption, there are solutions for that. I can use something like LUKs to encrypt my whole drive, or even just the notes directory.

For android, afaik everything uses disk encryption by default.

The unix philosophy is do one thing really well. We don’t need a note taking app that also handles encryption.

No one has ever gone out of their way to run windows. At least not in 25y.

That seems as reasonable as suggesting they could pass a law requiring everyone to hire a govt licensed computer user in order to interact with their devices, and otherwise touching a keyboard or touchscreen would be illegal.

It doesn’t feel like a realistic estimation of what they would actually try to do. There’s too much that is currently dependent on Linux, you’d do better to just dismantle and ban the internet.

Doesn’t even make sense. Virtually all Linux distros can function completely offline. How do you do age verification completely offline? Classic politician who doesn’t understand tech trying to look like they’re doing something to save the kids.

Ahem, you forgot the Console Wars

Yeah, my first thought was Kveikur. Such a vibe.

I don’t know what is typical, but when I use AI locally I’ve been running llama-cpp with models grabbed from HF (ex. QwenCoder). Then in my VS code plugin (RooCode) I use the “OpenAI compatible” option to point it at my local server.

Not sure how hard that is to get working, but my hope is that “OpenAI Compatible” helps.

Are there plans for mobile apps? In particular, obsidian and nextcloud don’t seem to work well together on android. Changes made to files via obsidian don’t get picked up by nextcloud unless I manually go sync the file. This might just be nextcloud’s app dropping the ball.

I see on the page it says you can bring an anthropic or openai key. Can I also point it at my own locally hosted model?

I wonder if you could make a self-hostable data poisoning automation utility. Put in a bunch of credentials for various social media sites, and it creates unintelligible usage patterns associated with your online identities. Not so much for poisoning training of generative AI, but for destroying any internal profiles any party might attempt to build on you by correlating your online behaviour.

If everyone else moved, they would too. But no one will, so they won’t. Same as it ever was.

Does this mean lemmy users can’t have the same name as communities? I’d just never noticed.

I have an edge router and switch, and two unifi APs. All accounts running locally. Works fine for my uses, though I think if I had it to do over again I’d investigate pfsense or opnsense. Not sure about hardware tho.

since it uses ZFS I don’t know it would be good for home use

TrueNAS is all I’ve used for my home for the better part of a decade. It’s been fine, what is your concern?

Predicted…openly by Trump.

If you watch to the end, he explains that the fake ending was so that he could also post a version that doesn’t get “partisan” for the people who want to share the first part about solar to people who may not recieve the second part well. But I don’t think there’s any risk of people not recieving it well here, and I think it’s important that as many people as possible see a typically non-partisan channel break the silence to denounce what is going on. I think if a huge swathe of internet “influencers” were suddenly this vocal, it would wake viewers up, it could change the course of history. It’s when everyone silently continues their regularly scheduled content that democracy silently dissolves.

I just use gimp, but for the record, someone recently got modern Photoshop working in wine
