I double-checked this on a couple of Xitter stat sites and it's true. Average views of the main AfD account dropped 90% and average engagement dropped by 60%. This is commercial social media for you: bots, damn bots and Russian bots.

#Meshy 26.10 has been released! It packs dozens of new features, improvements and fixes, but what we would like to highlight is an initial setup dialog and simplified contact details. Enjoy! #meshcore

A dialog window with three options: Set Up a New Companion, Restore from a Backup File, Restore an Automatic Backup.

The contact details with a new CLI icon that has the "Remote CLI" popover.

I exchanged a few messages with @trilobyte over #MeshCore and this is the path MC discovered and set up to deliver my messages. 15 hops, hundreds of km and the delivery was reliable. It doesn't stop to amaze me what low-cost hardware connected in a community mesh can do.

Meshcore-open developers implemented image transport over LoRa. Images are downscaled to 512x512px, then encoded by AEIC codec [1] and then split into 163B chunks to fit into LoRa packets. The codec requires a 800MB LLM which occupies several GB of memory when running. To transport small images […]

In the spring, my wife was looking for fertilizer for our green roof. She consulted Gemini (or whatever is being the Google AI search), and half of the green roof died as a result. We'll have to get it back in shape in the fall. This time, we'll consult a true expert. #greenroof #AI
