Hmm, how very 1984

I would look into NovelAI for writing, it's quite specifically for that. It's a paid servicd similar to chatgpt, but it's uncensored and private.

You can run your own lightweight LLM on a laptop but the output will be useless. Good output requires big boy compute.

If you do want to run it on your own hardware, look into Ollama. There's also options to run your own LLM in the cloud with a not too difficult process for non-techies.

Frankly, id find the right LLM for your needs and just pay for it per month, maybe novelai, maybe something else, but chatgpt is not great for creative fiction.

Microsoft does this painfully often

Nobody denies that women can do professions, short of the furthest right extremists, nobody disagrees with that. And nobody takes those guys seriously.

You know what the moderate right does take seriously? The idea that the left wants to make everything "woke" with things that negatively affect them and forces them to use "political speak", which is precisely what pushes people into the right wing dumpsterfire.

Like it was a cute idea 10 years ago, it backfired, please stop.

People dying because of border fuckery again, dude set himself on fire and we here unironically talking about the correct way to name a profession. Time and a place, person. this aint it.

Wellp, i can't. Several games dont boot, some boot but are wonky as hell. Good for you that you have everything you need, i do not. I use gaming as an example, but so many essentials are either not there, or wonky as hell. And that's assuming you can keep the damn thing running without spending a saturday a month trying to unfuck your system after a driver update or whatever. Sure. I can get all the compatible hardware and do all the research to make sure everything probably doesnt impode, but at that point, why not just use windows.

I use both linux and windows. I am power user. Linux cannot do all the things i need it to, neither can windows, but at least we have WSL and VMs. Try setting up a passthrough GPU just to play a game on linux. Then try setting up an AI application using docker for windows.

I get it, we all wanna root for the underdog, and linux certainly has it's place, but i am so done seeing this "windows bad linux good" bs

Yeah I made this account first before hopping to one more suited for me. Didnt turn out well there but generall if you're pretty new i imagine most people arent too attached to their instance

Good way to punish websites that have zero security i suppose

/remind me in 10 years

Oh yes, let's pick on the weak programming languages because haha funi

Well that's a good sign at least. I think i just ran into a triggerhappy mod.

Yeah that's valid. It's not your responsability to deal with their warped worldview.

First, i want to make it extremely clear that i am NOT advocating for "tolerance" with these people. I am advocating for communication and education. We should not simply tolerate having people hate us, especially with the level some extremists are willing to go to.

I understand the need for a safe space. It's a good concept. But there's a fine line between safe space and political echo chamber. Once you start banning people for advocating for an option other than hate, it becomes problematic.

Okay, which brings me back to, why push those people further away, so they only strengthen that worldview rather than trying to communicate with them and show them who we really are? It's not like you don't want the undesirables to go away somehow as well, right?

I think the mod glanced over the comment and was a little triggerhappy. It was not in a blahaj thread, and the post (along with the rest of the comment chain) first got removed for being off topic in that sub by the mods of thst instance. Which i guess is what got the blahaj mod's attention.

I didn't come to blahaj to be a contrarian. I like the place. That's why i made my account there. I didnt go there to argue about politics, but if it keeps popping in my feed, i see someone with a bad take, i'm going to respond. If that's what they decide to ban, so be it. ill find another place to call home in the fediverse.

So you're saying their methods are more aggressive. You're not describing your average trump supporter, right? You're describing the extreme, just like they describe the extremists of the left in their propaganda. I'm not suggesting we waste time on extremists. I'm suggesting there is hope for the rest of them.

I hope so, let's get some semi-healthy competition going, maybe they'll even have to provide a better user experience instead of just seeing who can milk their users the most optimally. Probably not but one can dream.

Are you an AI chatbot?

And why do they think like that? The only thing they see in their bubble is the most extreme and annoying propagandized depiction of us. And the solution somehow is to push them even further away? There's plenty of people out there who held extreme beliefs and have been humbled through mere interaction with someone of the opposing group.

What we're doing here is the same as what they do. Portray them all in the same horrible light. Someome who thinks "as long as they keep it in the bedroom" 10 years ago, will now be much more likely to be more extreme because of echo chambers.

Someone who think "as long as they dont force their religious values on us" is now much more likely to think they all want to eradicate us, because of echo chambers.
