Almost as scummy as the concept of a YouTuber using affiliate links.

The models can’t do anything the inference library doesn’t allow for. So you shouldn’t need to worry about a rogue model if you’re loading it somewhere someone you trust can vouch for. If you’re worried about Ollama, you can monitor its network usage (and block it in your firewall). There shouldn’t be any network activity if you disable auto-update.

All three games will be bundled in a remaster for the price of one game a year or two after part three comes out.

It’s completely open to Microsoft and the NSA for sure.

It’s not zero, each fiefdom has very little power to keep users. As it is right now, a user unhappy with their instance culture or laws can move to another instance. Comparing it to moving in real life, in real life you have a lifetime worth of things that tie you to your fiefdom. Comparing it to well established and centralised social media, then those fiefdoms still have a lot of power over you.

Your social network can’t come with you, they’re SSO providers, they’re tracking and human-verification providers, they have high quality exclusive content, they’re sometimes the only channel for interacting with some third parties you have to interact with (Government, utility company, etc).

But the people above you didn’t suggest zero, they suggested the officially reported numbers. Earlier it sounded like you were going to make an argument as to why Chinese numbers are more likely to be under-reported than USA numbers.

Straight from the horses’ mouth, a tankie is anyone left of Hitler. You’re literally calling humans ‘orks’. You are a Nazi.

I don’t think it’s “Trump” thing, but the USA will probably start arresting people for the media they consume if a rapidly growing and sufficiently large portion of their citizenry spread and consume messaging they disagree with. It’ll be a side-effect of losing the narrative war. I don’t foresee it happening in the next 4 years.

I don’t see the point in publicising it. From a PR perspective, “Posted illegal content using a platform frequented by terrorists” is less likely to meet resistance than “Commented🔻on Instagram”. In fact, USA propaganda is already full of vagueties about people’s online behaviour today. Usually in the form of reporting on foreign (enemy) policing as “Helpless teen (19) arrested (fined) for Tweet (Bomb-threat to head of state)”.

Lemmy.ml is explicitly a Marxist Leninist instance of the Lemmy software. It’s why it’s called .ml. You can use a different instance if you aren’t a Marxist Leninist. Lemmy.world is a Hitlerite instance.

Federation is censorship resistant, but each instance is still going to remove gross content for the sake of their users and instance culture. You can see removed content in the modlog, it’s public for every instance running unmodified Lemmy.

As for why you need to copy/paste the sentence – It sounds a lot like an anti-spam measure. Captchas and the like are extremely common, I’m surprised you find them novel. Are you asking this because you’re planning a spam-attack and need to make sure the spam isn’t removed? Your spam will be removed. While it’s technically possible to go find, no one will care enough to do so.

I agree with you, but to be fair, people don’t really choose an email provider. They chose gmail, because anything else is disallowed by everyone’s anti-spam measures.

Pretty sure that’s a taxi.

Literally does not matter. They’re all demons, and they all maximise the suffering they inflict. If someone knew how to create more suffering, they’d share their secrets with the rest.

The people who make YT Music and Spotify must have autism, because they too assume it’s normal to listen to the same handful of songs every day.

When I vent about this IRL people agree that it’s ridiculous, but then I go online and I see the opposite, complaints that the service recommended a new song or a song they didn’t like. They even took out the discovery button from YT Music.

Giant fingers

A capitalist is someone who owns capital, not someone who supports capitalism. A liberal is someone who supports capitalism. I don’t think Linus is a liberal, given that he’s the Linux guy. But he’s obviously a capitalist, and that’s okay, that’s something you should strive towards if you live under capitalism, even if ideologically you oppose capitalism.

The other flag is the USA, where over a million people are shackled slaves. https://www.prisonstudies.org/country/united-states-america

thought-terminating cliché

There’s no argument, it’s the definition of the word. Why do you assume there should be argument around the normal usage of a word?

I looked it up out of curiosity. The post acknowledges, or at least implies that 4chan users use more slurs, and doesn’t touch on racism otherwise.
For my part, I don’t think there’s a large gulf between racist opinions on the two platforms, just on decorum regarding slurs.

Here’s the link: https://web.archive.org/web/20210922182734/https://www.reddit.com/r/unpopularopinion/comments/pt2gel/4chan_is_actually_more_welcoming_than_reddit/

Reddit’s whole identity is racism. I think maybe OOP was trying to say an apples to apples comparison is possible.

I really don’t think they’re scared of Lemmy.
