  • All jokes aside she’s not getting a physical cell phone - even a flip phone - for a few more years.

    I appreciate the comment, but she’s 7. She has a “landline” phone (local PBX, explicit allows for friends whose parents ive talked to), she isn’t ready for something mobile. They aren’t even allowed into elementary school with cell phones, but the accessory style devices (watches) are.

    Middle school? Yes, thats when this conversation will happen.







  • I couldn’t find any rules for this community and I don’t know if it’s allowed.

    Its allowed up to the limits of the lemmy.world TOS, so no direct links, discussion is fine.

    mainly because everyone says it’s the best thing to use a homelab for.

    Great for self-hosting if its something you use. Not really a homelab thing, these two things are not necessarily the same either. My hosted services for the family are entirely segregated from my lab, which does a very different job.

    How much is it utilized (in watch hours/week for example, mine was less than 2/week)?

    Over the past 30 days… Up to 6 streams at a time, 15 days worth of streaming hours.



  • I think an AI tag (honestly i think there are a few different ones that could/should be used) would be appropriate, but I’m not going to outright remove as “low effort”, no.

    There are a few reasons for that. The first is thats a community decision, not a decision for me to make for the community.

    I personally don’t agree either. Its just a tool, and like any tool can be used well or used poorly, which can usually be seen quite easily in code. For example, LLM’s are excellent for finding security issues, being pretty good at explaining code blocks or APIs being connected to, or resolving issues with errors that may be more esoteric.

    What they aren’t great at, IMO, is creating the entire thing whole hog, thats typically where you’ll find issues (though it can happen in small sections of code, so a person should review that as well).

    Beyond the tool and thinking of it in terms of copyright and complaints about data centers and the like, I would still disagree as the root of the problem has nothing to do with the tool and everything to do with capitalism. A local model needs drastically less power than something coming out of anthropic or Microsoft, which has more to do with them abusing your data than the actual operations themselves.

    But considering its use and application, including the Linux kernel BTW, expecting everything to be llm-free is pretty much a non-starter, fwiw.

    That said, I’ll be making a post about it along with some other items that should probably get tagged such as commercial applications, freemium models, etc, so the community can come to a consensus.









  • Will be doing exactly that!

    There are a few more items to go up on the docket for the community, including other folks to help out with modding (to expand coverage hours), some items around tags (non-free software posts, AI, etc), so on that may be beneficial.

    So for better or worse everyone is going to be hearing a lot more from the mod team as long as I’m here :)
