Use llamacpp if you need to run it on a potato. Use koboldcpp if you have a gpu. Go to hugging face and download any gguf uncensored model of your choice. Pay openai zero dollars.

Beware that most forms of self-hosted ai (i.e. Everything that isn’t llamacpp, koboldcpp or easy diffusion) are generally extremely difficult and borderline impossible to install from their github repos. Anything having to do with voice tts for example, you can fucking forget about it. I’ve been hacking away on the 3 most popular open source ones for months and still haven’t gotten even one of them to actually work and stop having python dependency issues. It’ll be a great day when they stop using python for this stuff.

I’m autistic and sometimes I feel like an ai bot spewing out garbage in social situations. If I do what people normally do and make it sound believable, maybe no one will notice.

I’m going to get the most overpriced ai service I can possibly find to say “gib” over and over and over until it’s all gone.

Freedos is better than ms-dos because it’s open source, it has fat32 support and everything generally works better. I use Freedos btw.

I have a laptop with Ubuntu that won’t let me upgrade any of the actually important packages unless I pay for Ubuntu pro.

Many of the components on that things pcb are either unique or no longer produced and haven’t been for quite some time. It would be almost impossible to make a fake without it being possible to detect that it’s fake. You can’t even get that dip switch anymore for example and that’s just what you can see without taking it apart. Black dip switch, white front panel and blue plastic switches. They only exist in Nintendo world championship carts. If you’re looking at one in person and it has that exact dip switch, it’s almost certainly real.

The seller should still show a picture of pcb though to prove it if they haven’t already. Saying that it works in a regular nes isn’t proof.

I do a lot of c++ and c# stuff. That feature where it opens a list of all the member functions and or variables of a given class or data type, the part where it underlines incorrect code as well as the thing that adds tooltip type documentation with comments to everything you hover your mouse over is invaluable.

The idea that there are people who program without that type of thing blows my mind. I can’t just memorize the entire code base myself 🤷 if I had to search the source code to verify every little thing every single time, it would take ages to get anything done.

I only use Linux and I don’t know what I’ll do when Microsoft eventually takes vs code away from us, whether by making it paid or dropping linux compatibility. I guess I’ll have to pirate the jetbrains software or something.
