3D-printed modular power bank is infinitely repairable and customizable
At first glance, the Zero is about as clunky and unattractive a power bank as you’ll ever find these days. There’s a good reason for that, though: you can take it apart without tools, swap out weak cells for fresh ones when the time comes, and keep using it for way longer than any other power bank will last.
as someone who’s been doing LLM critique since ChatGPT’s first public release and AI critique much longer than that: do you know how allergic AI boosters are to shame, to being made fun of, to resistance?
they need you to take them seriously on their terms and they’ll do everything they can to shut you out if you won’t
goof on these motherfuckers to their faces because goofing on them works
@zzt They're losers! One of my laptops has this sticker. I hope it's made some boosters feel bad. https://topatoco.com/products/wigu-genai-stix

Where do your current tools and platforms let you down?
@mayel Other platforms often feel like people talking over each other and self-promoting, rather than conversations. Slack is the exception to this.

it's finally out! the star client for Android, more fully featured, is now ready to be tested and used.
please note: the speech engine integration is going to be laggy (because of course it is, it's using websockets) so it's not great, and provider functionality has not been tested yet. but other than that, it is now out! after like 5 months of waiting, finally!
