  • aesthetic: legacy lenses on dslrs

    there's just something about the look of legacy lenses on dslrs that i love. i guess in the same way i find something like my buell xb12r motorcycle appealing. or more specifically, buell's s1 lightning-- a naked motorcycle produced in the late '90s, with an aesthetic from that period, while having an '80s-era harley evolution engine on full display. mixing old with new.

• Technology and Free Software

  • Making GenAI less horrible for the rest of us (with llamafile)

    "Wait, what? Did ye olde Lux sell out to the hype and hoax?" No, not really. I still hold to my point that generative AI, in its current mainstream state, is a plague of the tech industry that's going to worsen the overall situation over years. But, and there always is a "but", there seems to be a way of actually make this technology serve the people, not megacorps. Even though the very first iteration of what I'm going to talk about was created by megacorps themselves.

  • Internet/Gemini

    • Some small features

      after the holiday break, I've uploaded a new "work-in-progress" apk of deedum built including some of the features I've been working on. Nothing groundbreaking, but some make using Deedum a bit easier.
