Enshitification is a consequence of legalized dumping. Companies are allowed to dump loss-making profucts and services on the market until they achieve dominance, then they squeeze the users that now have nowhere else to go. In startup-lingo this is blitzscaling followed by monetization. Our competition laws are 30 years behind the curve on this stuff.

Depends what’s in the landfill. Anything that rots is definitely the business of the rest of the neighborhood. But if it doesn’t smell, make noise, or gets blown ower property lines, then yes, it’s none but the owner’s business.

Ollama is apparently going for lock-in and incompatibility. They’re forking llama.cpp for some reason, too. I’d use GPT4All or llama.cpp directly. They support Vulkan, too, so your GPU will just work.

Hard to scale that particular design up to longer cartridges, unfortunately. A 5.56 P90 would be so cool, though.

Tbf the USA in particular makes that pipeline a lot smoother than it needs to be. The Christian right is pretty nuts for supporting Bibi’s war crimes.

Idk. Musk seems to have gone completely mental. Dunno what the cause is, but the man is not healthy. Not sure how much self-reflection he’s capable of.

Rust is an awesome language, but an outright disconcerting percentage of libraries have versions starting with “0”, so I get what you mean. Keeping your dependencies up to date is usually no biggie, but it’s definitely not always the easiest. There’s also a bit of churn in what is considered the correct way to do things. Some stuff is settled, but some definitely isn’t. So I get it if you don’t want to jump in just yet.
