2 months agoThe big problem is that we have long stepped over that line.
Now even when you pay you are still shown ads (maybe, but not surely, not-targeted) and your data is still scrapped and analyzed to hell and back.
I did nothing and I’m all out of ideas!

You can leak memory in perfectly safe Rust, because it is not a bug per se, an example is by using Box::leak
Preventing memory leaks was never in the intentions of Rust. What it tries to safeguard you from are Memory Safety bugs like the infamous and common double free.
50501 (short for “50 protests, 50 states, 1 movement”) is an American progressivist grassroots political organization founded to protest the policies and actions of the second Donald Trump administration in the United States.

The parade I assume is in reference to the

Polly [:polly] Comment 21 • 4 hours ago As discussed on the attached patch, it doesn't sound like unified push is a direction we want to go in at the moment. So i'm going to close the bug, but do appreciate the interesting exploration and discussion it has generated. Thank you to everyone who contributed thoughts, time and code to this issue!

I have asked around a few people internally but unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a lot of support for the idea of moving to Unified Push. So I think it would be best to abandon the stack rather than spend more time working on this implementation. Sorry to have to say that and sorry it's taken so long to get back to you with this message! We appreciate your time and effort here and hope that you will still consider contributing to firefox in the future.

10·7 months agoYou could try asking in [email protected] too, feddit.it is an italian speaking instance
8·8 months agoI’m not sure if you are referring to this, but I’ve noticed some people overriding their comments after around 24h they have posted them - probably running an automated script. I assume they are doing it for perceived privacy reasons.
1·1 year agoThat’s the bad thing about social media. If no one was doing it before, someone is now!
Jokes aside it’s possible, but with the current LLMs I don’t think there’s really a need for something like that.
Malicious actors usually try to spend the least amount of effort possibile for generalized attacks, because you end up having to often restart when found out.
So they probably just feed an LLM with some examples to get the tone right and prompt it in a way that suits their uses.
You can generate thousands of posts while Lemmy hasn’t even started to reply to one.
If you instead want to know if anyone is taking all the comments on lemmy to feed to some model training… Yeah, of course they are. Federation makes it incredibly easy to do.
20·1 year agoProbably I’m missing something but I’ve read the parent comment as a way to highlight the hypocrisy behind making extensive use of something while, simultaneously, wanting to bar others from using it
I don’t see an insult in there, given the choice of words and the context, but maybe I’m missing something fundamental?
I assumed it was a shitpost, instead it is a real tweet. What a time to be alive.
Jokes aside the only real reason I can fathom for the collectibles company to call their mother is because they had used it as the contact number in the registry. I would be surprised if this was some kind of intimidation tactic instead of just miscommunication - in the sense they probably just wanted to legally intimidate the itch’s owner not their immediate family. They are not 2K /s.
53·1 year agoNice data, but I think we should take a broader view too:
https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.CD?end=2023&locations=RU-IN&start=2019
I semi randomly picked India because it is part of BRICS and had a similar economic trajectory: It is quite interesting playing with all those nobs and labels.
In this context I think PPP - which you showed - is a good indicator of the internal quality of living, but as far as I understand it, it has an hard time showing the difference in quality and standards of the consumer products between countries, so a dip in nominal GDP is an interesting context with the PPP adjusted rise. Less expensive things, because they are less regulated?
Aside from that Russia has almost completely pivoted to a war economy which, as far as I know, tends to give a big initial boost but it stresses and makes the real (for lack of a better term) economy crash in the long run.
What do you think about this? It is an interesting topic.
2·1 year agoI was reading @[email protected] and @[email protected] exchange and I found it an interesting - albeit moot - topic. So I went and spent the last hour to download some data and filter it: I will post some numbers with no commentary. I will add my opinions after them in a spoiler.

MHO
This comparison makes no sense for a multitude of reasons, starting from the difference in effective cohesion, motivation and raison d’être of the two organizations.
Even if there were multiple tries, especially by Russia, to push for more integration in the economic and military structure, you can see how it is still incredibly fractured: if you are interested you can check on the current state of the SWIFT alternatives to see how much each of the big players still pull to be the leader.
A more apt loose organization to compare BRICS to would probably be the G7, but even there it really is not the same, considering the member list and how integrated they are in other ways. Still, a better one.
Aside from that the PPP is often touted as a great way to compare completely different economies, and it has its uses to understand how people live in different countries. Its use in a comparison like this one has, IMHO, no space.
If someone comes to me with a one Billion random-currency investment, even if for them it only buys a loaf of bread but for me it means a new factory and 100 full-time employees, if they withdraw it it is a disaster.
Then again GDP is not even the parameter we should be looking into, considering the article: We should check the international trade between China and the European Union, and make consideration about that.Last, but not least, I used the IMF numbers because they are easy to get in a nice format. They are not the best, but they are not the worst too. More info here, have fun.
This is getting weird.
If I would generate an image with an AI and then take a photo of it, I could copyright the photo, even if the underlying art is not copyrightable, just like the leaves?
So, in an hypothetical way, I could hold a copyright on the photo of the image, but not on the image itself.
So if someone would find the model, seed, inference engine and prompt they could theoretically redo the image and use it, but until then they would be unable to use my photo for it?
So I would have a copyright to it through obscurity, trying to make it unfeasible to replicate?
This does sound bananas, which - to be fair - is pretty in line with my general impression of copyright laws.
5·1 year agoThe only two things I can currently think of are:
- Shut down the PC and try inverting the slot your monitors are plugged in in the graphic card
- Right click on the Desktop -> Swap the primary Display -> Apply -> Swap it back
Honestly I’m not sure if it will help but I don’t have other ideas aside from purging the configuration, which is probably not the solution and unwarrented.
Another thing to try would be a search on the KDE bugtracker.
41·1 year agoI didn’t know about this project, so I took a quick look around.
I didn’t see any mention of Telemetry or Metrics, but I assume they can use this:
After starting Tails and connecting to Tor, Tails Upgrader automatically checks if upgrades are available and then proposes you to upgrade your USB stick. The upgrades are checked for and downloaded through Tor.
https://tails.net/doc/upgrade/index.en.html#automatic
Still, I just gave this a few minutes, so there could be more.
3·1 year agoI’m not sure this is going to directly affect that, because their deal talks mainly about financing for the Control game, and the other news is about movie adaptations, so probably it is going to be another team, lead by the newly re-hired Hector Sanchez, working on that…
But who knows, this kind of things are always hard to follow from the outside
10·1 year agoActually Obtainium is mentioned (but thank you, checking back I saw I had a typo in the github link that I had missed, and I’ve now fixed it!), but this is the first time I hear about Accrescent: is it this App store?
You are right, and I forgot to add the link to it in the opening post. I’ll edit it in!
Silverbullet is like that. It is not an electron or native app, you have to run a server and then get to it from the browser.
TLDR it is best run with docker or podman, but IMHO it is pretty good.
I’m not sure what you are really interested in, if you are searching frontier model’s capabilities with a good privacy policy… The answer is no.
If you are interested in privacy and can take an hit to performance, there’s lumo by proton, which I’ve never tried personally, but it should use open models, and there should be the list somewhere there.
Otherwise you can go European with Mistral’s Le Chat, which is not as good as the multibillion dollars companies offerings but it is quite good. I tend to use this one. Check the settings to disable data training.
Last but not least you can use a wrapper around the frontier models like the one offered by duckduckgo. There are many.
If you don’t mind paying there are no logs services that give you access to KimiK2 level models. Or you could spin up something on runpod or vast ai style gpu rentals.
So. It depends.
