Oregon may soon become the latest state to pass right-to-repair legislation, but Apple says Senate Bill 1596 proposes a security risk. Here’s more from Tech Crunch, including the parts of the bill Apple supports. https://flip.it/7B6f35

Do you hate #broligarchs?
#Billionaires? #AiSlop but still think there is merit in #AI?
Here is my proposal for a stand alone.
OFFGRID COMMUNITY AI SYSTEM.
That's right.Your very own co-op AI
The calculations are very much back of the envelope, first cut, but quite feasible.
A 32billion parameters, frontier level performance compatable open source #llm model. The power requirements is that of 3AC units including cooling. Serves 15-20 concurrent users. 40 households of 4 people each (taking into account actual AI model distributed use metrics and contention ratios)
40 households, subscribing at $30/month over 2 years + power (solar). Train with your own datasets.
Entire set up takes half a rack.
LETS GO!!!

I went to a #repairCafe today and got my ebike charger fixed for at least another 4 years of daily usage (I hope). 🚲 ⚡
Repairing things is good for the earth, for our pockets and for society in general.
The NZ Parliament is looking at a bill about this. 🔧
Please make a submission so repairing becomes the standard and we keep things out of the landfill for as long as possible.
Deadline is April 3rd.

Several of our local parks have free bike repair stations.
They include a bike stand, tire pump, and multiple various tools for repairing and tuning your bicycle!

I think maybe it's time to start a thread for "The World I Want To Live In."
1st up: shift from "Purchase New" to "Sturdy & Repairable:"
