That’s hot, and climate change exists. I get it. But 48C (118F) shutting things down? I used to live in Palm Springs, CA where it’s over 37F for 5-6 months every year, and the hottest I personally experienced was 51C (124F) and I experienced a lot of 47C - and while that was indeed unpleasantly hot (but it’s a dry heat! 🙂), life continued as normal. I remember even seeing tons of laborers building new houses mid day as a regular occurrence.
I share your frustration. Both of my parents have multiple sheets of paper next to their computers with “all” of their passwords written on them, but when they need tech support (i.e., me), the password they need is never on there.
Have you considered the possibility that this could be a subconscious act by your mom to communicate with you, a way to ensure she gets to talk to you more frequently than otherwise?
It does seem like what I’m seeing would be someone’s idea/joke of a drunk mode, but it’s how the page loads for me - I didn’t click anything. And I can’t read the buttons to see if one days “turn off drunk mode”.
Holy shit how can you read that? For a minute I thought the text was encoded until maybe I clicked a button, then I thought it might be Arabic, now I see that’s it’s English but I can’t even make out all the letters. No thanks.
Their whole life.
Not my GPU. I have an AMD.
Requirements
- NVIDIA Ampere or newer GPU (A100, H100, H200, B200, RTX 3000+)
I’m pretty sure he knew why.
I’m my experience, running Ollama locally works great. I do have a beefy GPU, but even on affordable consumer grade GPUs you can get good results with smaller models.
So it technically works to run an AI agent locally, but my experience has been that coding agents don’t work well. I haven’t tried using general AI agents.
I think the amount of VRAM affordable/available to consumers is nowhere near enough to support a context length that’s necessary for a coding agent to remain coherent. There are tools like Get Shit Done which are supposed to help with this, but I didn’t have much luck.
So I’m using OpenCode via OpenRouter to use LLMs in the cloud. Sad that I can’t get local-only to work well enough to use for coding agents, but this arrangement works for me (for now).
I use Cirrus because I love its widget, and it does have rain radar. It’s GPL-3.0
When you say “in Lemmy communities”, do you mean “on the internet”?
FYI, here’s the story behind the unused Pixel 10:
I got a new Verizon account in December 2025, and was surprised to learn they’d give me a free phone. I chose a Pixel 10 (128GB, Obsidian).
When I opened the Verizon account, the Verizon employee touched this Pixel 10 just enough to make sure the eSIM was configured, but we never even set up the OS. I moved the eSIM to my phone, so this Pixel 10 has never been used, never even finished the initial boot process.
I think Verizon carrier-locks their phones for 60 days. I got the phone on 12/17/25 so it should be out of carrier lock now.
This Pixel 10 is boot-loader locked and I use GrapheneOS, so it’s of no use to me. I tried to sell it on eBay, but they wanted me to upload photos of my ID or some such nonsense, which I won’t do. I tried to sell it on Swappa, but they refused because the phone is “financed”*.
This phone is technically in new condition except the plastic seal on the box has been broken.
If you’d like to buy an unused Pixel 10 for $500 + shipping, please send me a private message and we’ll work out the details.
Photos can be seen here (link available until 4/30/26): https://immich.thewooskeys.com/s/pixel10
Let me know if you have any questions about the phone.
Offers will be considered.
*The “free phone” deal with Verizon is that they charge me the cost of the phone ($800) prorated monthly over 2 years, and each month they also credit me that same amount so the total charge each month is $0.00. If ever I cancel my plan with them, they will charge me the balance.
Sorry for my delayed response: I’m not sure why, but I see none of y’all’s comments in my instance.
And thank you all for your thoughts!

Swappa still exists. Barring that, I don’t know.
What is an unused Pixel 10? Stolen? Seems like a red flag. Those are tracked, the IMEI might be banned, and it might only be usable as a WiFi device. It might even be locked out of use, making it a paperweight. If it’s not stolen, you basically have a new device, and you probably want close to what you paid for it, but at that point any reasonable consumer would be better advised to just buy it new, and eliminate the possibility of it being locked out.
It’s not stolen. I’ll explain the phone’s situation in my next reponse. I already tried Swappa.

Lemmy isn’t really the platform for that. If I were trying to sell a phone I’d probably list it on Swappa, eBay, or Facebook Marketplace. It wouldn’t even occur to me to try and sell it here. And if I were buying a second hand phone, of those three I’d be most inclined to buy off of Swappa.
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried eBay and Swappa, refuse to use Faceboook.

Why try to sell here? The number of people on Lemmy is tiny. You need to advertise the phone in a place where loads of people can see. Facebook marketplace or eBay.
Because I tried eBay and Swappa and refuse to use Facebook, and so I thought of the “tiny” number of people in the fediverse, someone might want a Pixel 10.

It only takes one person lol
I agree!

I i think it’s great that you’re spreading the word about the fediverse and helping get people off of big data.
You might consider using a youtube alternative for your channel, perhaps a PeerTube instance.
But it also enforces the “keep everything just in case” mentality/habit. This situation feels good precisely because it beat the odds. 🙂
I gotta take a leak so bad, I can taste it
Or put a mic in the bathroom and make the LEDs yellow for pee sounds and red for fart sounds.
I’m kidding but I actually think this would be fun, but you’d need a way to differentiate sounds.
I asked chatGPT:
Good question. I couldn’t find any 1980s song by a solo female singer with the exact lyric “nothing really matters” (or “nothing truly matters”) that matches your description. Here are a few thoughts and possibilities, plus what might help you narrow it down — and a guess + next steps.
“Nothing Really Matters” by Madonna — but that’s from 1999, so too late for your 80s vibe. (Wikipedia)
“Nothing Really Matters” by Gabrielle Aplin — also way more recent (2019). (Wikipedia)
“Nothing Really Matters” by Fiona — this one exists, according to Shazam. (Shazam)
But Fiona’s “Nothing Really Matters” seems to be a reggae-style song, not a high-energy 80s disco/funk. (Shazam)
Also, Fiona’s own career peaked more in the late ’80s rock/pop space — her album “Beyond the Pale” was in 1986. (Apple Music - Web Player)
I found no credible matches for an 80s dance/disco track where a female singer sings exactly “nothing truly matters” (in that phrasing).
Based on what you remember, it’s possible the lyric is slightly misheard. The Fiona song looks like the closest title match, but the style doesn’t align well with what you described (if it truly is her song).
To track it down more precisely, you can:
Use a song identifier app (like Shazam or SoundHound) the next time you hear it in a store.
Ask the store (if they play a fixed playlist) — they might be able to check their in-store music list.
Try humming the melody into a “hum to search” tool (some modern music apps do that).
Think about other lyrics or fragments: maybe there’s a line before or after “nothing really matters” that stands out. Even a few more words help a lot.
If you like, I can dig into 80s female disco/pop songs with similar-sounding lyrics (bass line, synth, etc.) and send some top candidates. Do you want me to do that?
Very good points.
