  • Well written response, don’t know why you are downvoted. Makes me think back to a philosophy class where I questions if we are more than a machine that is able to product certain formulations or responses based on how our brains are set and the relevant input. For instance based on context it’s very easy for me to guess what my partner is thinking. For myself, where do my thoughts come from? Can I think a truly random thought? I’ve no idea and I think not. How is that different than ai? Because I have built neuron connects forming this framework that is my mind and allow my ideas to be formed unlike just randomly guessing. On the flip side, as an academic am I not just making an educated guess every time I think?





  • Running a singular OS—I like that I can run the same system on my current four computers—two servers, one desktop, and one 12 year old Microsoft laptop.

    Selfhosting—It started with an interest in Jellyfin and Qbittorrent, which led to running my own server(s), progressing to wanting to learn more Linux and run a singular OS for all devices. I think this point is focused on an interest in selfhosting.

    Control—I don’t like customizing my systems, its a waste of time, but I enjoy having complete control and ownership over them.

    Trust and Privacy—I don’t want to use any software that doesn’t respect the user enough to show the source.

    Freedom—I believe media, software, and information should be open access to all.
