Not too far off of how a lot of AIs function, unfortunately

Yep, though with calibre in particular you want to kind of make sure it's locked down real good. People sniff for the ports it uses, so open calibre-web libraries get found quickly, and then will usually have some attempts at cracking.

I had mine set up as a local-only thing (could only access from my home WiFi), but from experiences with other apps that have similar crawlers, it takes about a week for them to be found. Just make sure everyone's passwords are decent, or just share one account if it's people you trust.

I need to look into calibre-web more. I definitely tried it, but I remember it being awkward. Might give it another go to see

I... Honestly don't even think about my adblocker enough to even think to disable certain websites in it. Generally if I like a site enough to disable ads, I'll also generally like them enough to pay them more money than they would have gotten from me turning ads off for a year

This is the other part. Idk if it's me, or my equipment, but like... I listen to music for the music. I might like certain genres (noise music comes to mind) more on higher end equipment, because that's the point, but also... Eh? Not why I'm here.

Where in my comment did I mention my stance on LLM usage? All I said was I knew people would be annoying about Torvalds using LLMs to generate code, and that there was an instance of that here.

Maybe, but it did happen earlier on before I'd started, so I think the filters are just kinda not great to start

Gods. The second I saw that Torvalds used an LLM to generate any amount of code I knew people would be annoying as shit about it. And here we are with people being annoying as shit about it.

At the same time, many users half-ass using them

Honestly the way a lot of the Tinder-style ones (swiping) are designed it almost feels like they're meant to be half-assed? You can't filter by likes, just exclude by dislikes (ex. Don't include people who don't want kids, don't include smokers, etc) because there's no search anymore. They just show you a profile, and you swipe.

When I was using them I very quickly stopped reading bios before they matched back. I just swiped right on everyone, checked daily for new matches, read those profiles and blocked/messaged people based on what was in their profile.

Speaking on filters, though: They don't even work. I had men filtered out, and I ended up getting about 25% of profiles being men. Like, the only gender tag they had was "Man," which lead to a lot of the "Idk why they even showed me to you I have men filtered out" message being sent.

Or wet mud

Does dry mud exist? I'm pretty sure we just call that dirt xD

Hell, I can't even tell the difference between 128kbps and flac. Realizing that saved me a whole lot of hard drive space :D

I wouldn't call this "Trying to steal a dog" this is somehow worse. Holy shit she sued a kid for abusing his dog that got away during one of the most devastating hurricanes to hit the US, after the murder-suicide of his parents????

We would complain about bad writing if this was in a villain's back story.
