The more time you spend glued to your screen the less you notice slow changes. I assume this is part of why user retention is so important...

An extension of uBlock Origin. It does the same thing but also clicks on every ad before it removes it.

My dad has been talking about wanting something like AdNauseam for years, i was very happy when i found it. The extra mile would probably be to expand it with a VPN and constantly spam clicks, clear cache, switch IP and obfuscate data. Now we just wait for someone with enough time to build it...

Happy I got AdNauseam after uBlock Origin. Deleted my facebook a year ago, shit is an AI slopfest built upon the greed and manipulation of every part of the chain. Defcon 31 has a good talk that brings this up. "Disenshittify or die" by Cory Doctrow, cann recommend to watch.

Became a free member on patreon when i first joined lemmy. Completely forgot to actually up the tier. Recurring donations are now on, thanks for the reminder!

As i wrote in my comment i have not read up on Deepseek, if this is true it is definetly a step in the right direction.

I am not saying i expect any company of significant scale to follow OSI since, as you say, it is too high risk. I do still believe that if you cannot prove to me that your AI is not abusing artists or creators by using their art, or not using data non-consentually acquired from users of your platform, you are not providing an ethic or moral service. This is my main concern with AI. Big tech keeps showing us, time and time again, that they really dont care about about these topics and this needs to change.

Imo AI today is developing and expanding way too fast for the general consumer to understand it and by extension also the legal and justice systems. We need more laws in place regarding how to handle AI and the data they use and produce. We need more education on what AI actually is doing.

The Open Source Initiative have defined what they believe constitutes "open source AI" (https://opensource.org/ai/open-source-ai-definition). This includes detailed descriptions of training data, explanation on how it was obtained, selected, labeled, processed and filtered. As long as a company utilize any model trained on non-specified data I will assume it is either stolen or otherwise unlawfully obtained from non-consenting users.

I will be clear that I have not read up on Deepseek yet, but I have a hard time believing their training data is specified according to OSI, since no big model yet has done so. Releasing the model source code means little for AI compared to all its training data.

Imo 16GB is a bare minimum today, i always recommend 32GB which is what i use myself. I agree 64GB is a bit overkill but the price for a prebuilt is good and the specs are banger.

I just like the analogy of a dashboard with knobs. Input text on one wide output text on the other. "Training" AI is simply letting the knobs adjust themselves based on feedback of the output. AI never "learns" it only produces output based on how the knobs are dialed in. Its not a magic box, its just a lot of settings converting data to new data.

The booklet has the "encouraged" procedures section where they state "sterilization reversal" which is just wild

This is just pure insanity, how can you possibly try to tell women the real choice is not having a choice? Even worse that this is being sneaked in as the the bill proposed to the house does not mention all of the stuff mentioned in the PWHC booklet.

Probably cheaper than the Shit 2

Stg i saw gold/white on left first, then after looking at the right one for a bit it just switched to the classic blue/black ive always seen. I hate this picture so damm much

Big thanks for the Photoshop repo! Works perfectly, I didn't think Ps on Linux was really possible but it seems we are living in the future!

Thanks for recommending Vesktop! It works better than my previous alternative. Still doesn't seem to be able to really do 60fps streams though...

I do use Krita aswell, works way better with my tablet.

Got a new M.2 drive and installed Linux on it, still run windows on my old disk (no dual boot, only go to bios when I need windows).

Experience has been amazing so far, biggest issues for me are the following

1. Had to get used to Gimp instead of my very legally acquired version of Photoshop
2. Discord screen share does not have audio and is laggy as hell (an alternative discord-screenshare application exists but gives my voice a 1-2 second delay which upsets my gf when we're in voice, although it can stream entire desktop with audio which is amazing for watching shows together)
3. Some games with anti-cheat don't work, so if I want to play those I still have to jump on windows.
4. No HDR (but it looks to be coming to KDE and Cosmic soon)

Apart from this the experience has been amazing. I'm using Nobara and mostly gaming. As a dev terminal, scripts and ssh to my raspberry pi:s is just such a seamless and nice experience.

I think this is the best outcome that could currently happen. If they got a ruling it's very possible that Nintendo would win. That would probably cascade through the entire emulation scene and bring down countless other projects.

(Disclaimer: I'm not American and I'm not very knowledgeable in the American court system. Feel free to correct/inform me if I'm misunderstanding or missing information on this statement.)

Edit: just realized they had to take everything down aswell, that very much sucks.

As someone who helped friends/family build PC gaming rigs multiple times last year (2023) I understand what you're coming from W11 installer is pure dogshit.

Tbh tho, my dad always hated new Windows versions because he didn't want to learn a new UI/UX, which I fine, but the windows experience isnt that hard to learn, even if it is different. Same thing with Linux, if you use GNOME/KDE/i3/hyprland/sway/<insert any DE/WM here> for the first time it won't be easy to find all of the settings either.

But the W11 installer in particular sucks ass. There is so many restrictions that try to prevent you from even installing it. The one rescue for me was downloading the Rufus USB ISO tool and letting it download the W11 installer itself and apply patches which removed all the ridiculous restrictions.

I mean, you can even rub that shit in Virtual box if you want. My GF is literally running it on "unsupported hardware" according to Microsoft but windows updates and everything post-install is completely functional.

Only reason Mictorsoft Philips wants the restrictions is to have a tighter grip on the ecosystem and limit end consumers from installing it themselves and pushing that part to other companies or retailers which they can buy finished products (laptops etc) from instead of licenses.
