I think the problem is that all the other chat services that they used to connect to closed off their connection protocols. Can’t serve a bunch of shitty advetisements if users aren’t using your website or app.

IRC is still around and kicking. My friends and I use it all the time.

The word “was” is doing a lot of work here. Those things all still exist, and I currently use all of them :)

How many things do we know that are bad for us, and simply ignore the consequences?

Off the top of my head:

• gasoline/smog
• coal
• microplastics
• alcohol
• tobacco
• excessive sugar

I’m pretty annoyed at how ollama has gone deep in the paint as basically being a tool for accessing cloud models.

Can you expound a little more on what you mean by this?

I like ollama, but I only really use it to load models and then hit the API. My current issue with them is that they don’t seem to support non-text base interaction very well.

I’m not going to say that I don’t have a server-collection problem, but that problem did put me on a good career path, so at least I have that going for me.

Some games literally have a “speed time up” button. I use those all the time.

As a system administrator, I’ve done all of these to some extent. But at that pay range, it better be part-time.
