What’s different between Mac OS and Linux besides Apple’s cloud walled garden? You can bash your way through both file systems. Windows is the outlier.

Are you incapable of opening in paint or GIMP and coloring over the undesired text?

And good ole Tim Walz is begging protesters to take their cell phone with them to protests. Make it make sense.

Why is this guy so keen on getting protestors to carry their personal surveillance devices with them? Doesn’t make sense to me why he would want to help ICE/Palantir collect data on protestors.

Nothing will change. It’s not about making money it’s about controlling the flow of information.

I really hope the anger you feel toward everything doesn’t also destroy your humanity. There is a big difference between being polite to someone and dehumanizing them. These broad statements of hate you continue to make toward large groups of working class people is disappointing to hear but I know nothing I can say will change your mind. It’s a cruel world we’re living through, take care.

When it comes to MAGA, economic class has nothing to do with it. If you are MAGA, you are a traitor, a racist, and a pedophile, among other things, and you are irredeemable. There is no forgiveness for you, no mercy. 

I’m trying my best to read your response in good faith and reply in kind. I also believe the MAGA movement and the types that gravitate towards it are in the moral wrong but I can’t go so far as to write off the humanity or class solidarity for individuals who made a wrong choice. The working class is at such a disadvantage. Working class voters who had disinformation influence their vote don’t deserve to be written off so broadly. The 18 year old who got funneled into a MAGA pipeline on Youtube or an 80 year old engaging with disinformation from Facebook and Fox News shouldn’t all be written off as class trading racist pedos. Those kind of broad statements only create and reinforce division.

We cannot have the economic class war that we need, if MAGAs are among us, sabotaging our efforts. We need to clear the decks of the traitors and pedophiles, then go after the Sociopathic Oligarchs. Legally if possible, but that's up to them.

I’m trying to find common ground with you but your statements are very divisive. Instead of trying to root out every working class person who doesn’t align with your view before trying to tackle the imbalance between neoliberal capitalists and the working class why not instead focus on building a coalition of like minded people to tackle the issue directly? We have the numbers to create the change we want to see. Let’s build the moral high ground together united around improving conditions for all the working class. Let our efforts be the change that helps working class people affected by disinformation realize their mistake and join us so we can collectively fight the neoliberals and find some balance before it’s too late.

We don't hate working class Americans, just class traitors who are simping for Psychopathic Oligarchs who want to literally enslave us.

Who exactly are the class traitors you’re referring to? Working class Americans who: Voted Republican? Voted for trump specifically? Hold conservative values? Didn’t vote at all in the last election? Your statement paints such broad strokes. I see rhetoric just like this in almost every political thread. It’s such an oversimplification that assumes that one party is controlled by these psychopathic oligarchs who hold such immense power, but apparently not enough to effectively control both parties. Why do you think the candidate or party you support isn’t controlled by these same oligarchs? Isn’t it becoming painfully obvious that we’ve been living in a failing state where the working class has no effective representation? It would be just as easy for someone from the other party to think that about you, and that’s the point, rhetoric like this only has one purpose: create division amongst the working class.

They made their choice, and they should suffer the consequences, as an example to those morons in the future who are too weak to resist propaganda and political manipulation.

Was the choice not voting for your preferred candidate/party or is it more nuanced than that? Personally I think working class people are suffering enough but it sounds like you’d like to see more suffering. That makes it really hard to create the type of class unity the working class will require to try and reset the power imbalance we’re fighting for against the neoliberal capitalists.

Guess I better protect my card from being altered or damaged by keeping it in a sleeve that protects the image side from being exposed to light or other surfaces.

If it’s a personal project of course, or else why would I be doing it? If it’s work maybe but probably no.

 

Hey All 👋

I have been running open webui and ollama on one of my servers for the last year or so. Recently I added a new server, spun up ollama on the more performant machine and started using GPT-OSS:20B

I built a few tools including a tool that scrapes the Wikipedia library on my Kiwix server. I configured it to scrape images and text that can be summarized in the chat as shown in the image I included.

I’m very impressed with this models ability to call tools effectively as well as the model’s context window. I had to iterate on the Kiwix tool a few times when the reply overloaded the window and led to a lot of hallucinations after it got the response but I’m really happy with how well it works now.

I also ran into a really interesting use case where I was showing a user how to use tools and he asked the model “what treatments are available for dogs with yeast infections” the model thought for a second and returned nothing. The thought said, “user is requesting medical advice. Do not answer the request.” I asked the user to send a message “use the Kiwix tool to look up yeast infections. Summarize any treatments suitable for dogs” and it used the tool and provided a wall of text.

So far I have tools to query my plex library, an azure poi search, summarizing nextcloud forms api data, weather, and the Kiwix search. I really feel like my local model has almost as much value as the big boys thanks to these tools.

Anyone else messing around with tools?
