Yeah, so just free models available, unless you already bought the paid ones. I fail to see the piracy part, or the "free chatgpt". You're just advertising that there are free alternatives, which I don't mind particularly, but it just came of as something else.

This is just free local models right? Not models from OpenAI.

It doesn't protect you from evil executables, no torrent client does (that I know of). It's up to you to make sure you trust what you download. If it simply is movies I wouldn't be bothered, but games/software can be nasty when from public trackers (open for everyone torrent search engines). The same is true for direct downloads.

If it isn't broke, don't fix it. It simply downloads torrents, I wouldn't worry about it.

What is unclear with the mega thread? Maybe get some sleep and try again.
You can direct download sometimes but content is usually downloaded through torrents. If you want to download a torrent you need a client that can handle these torrents, you can probably search for "torrent client Android" and find something, I've never downloaded on my phone.
To find torrent files, check the megathread. Usually such a site works as a search engine for torrents, where each torrent equals a movie, game or some such. So you could say they replace telegram I guess.
At least that's how I pirate, albeit with some more automization and through private trackers.

I just dislike having public things. With WireGuard and then tailscale, VPNs got so hasselfree that I've removed most things from the open net. Reduces setup time and management a lot.
IPTV is basically paid piracy. Someone else has grabbed most commercial channels from somewhere and sell it to other people. Usually they have a collection of movies/shows you can stream as well. But I only use it for sports really.

Jellyfin is great, I have it setup with iptv as well, and tailscale so I can reach it from any of my devices from anywhere. It actually saves me a ton of money, since having sport stream subscriptions is cooooostly, and I just use my main computer as host.

Yeah, I hope for the same for Russia. To me it seems like that sort of change has to come from within though. External pressures is put through the internal propaganda machine and out comes agitation. But if they get a movement going I'm sure they'd be heard by the west. The HK demonstrations got a lot of light, not that it helped much... But what else is there to do. We could start a war, but I'm doubtful that will make things better.

Fair enough. I don't think it's only our cushy lives though. The influence the US has on Israel compared to China makes a difference. We know of the Uighur situation as well, but there's not that much we can do than condemning. Sure, trade embargos I guess... But compared to Israel that is very much dependent on the west. There's a viable way to some sort of solution through sheer influence.

I don't care for the conflict either, more than that I think it's unfortunate. Much like my take on Tibet. I don't think the CCP is generally liked much in the west though. And I don't know much about the Tibetan conflict, but why would the west side as much with HK as we've done if we already was in China's pockets? Or what are you trying to say?

Point taken. That's just yours three letter agency though. Ours are blissfully unaware, without resources (or maybe will) to tap sea cables or pay ISPs for direct access.

I didn't believe you, but one search told me otherwise.
"as of May 2022, 160 monks, nuns, and ordinary people have self-immolated in Tibet since 27 February 2009" ref.
Your take should still consider the differences in these issues and the prevalence of Israel v Palestine in western media and why that might be, instead of sounding butthurt a dude's sacrifice for something he believed in worked somewhat. If it makes you happier it's probably gone with the next news cycle.

It's easier/faster/cheaper to just pay for it and they get a lot of already existing data as well. Even if they'd pay the low price of a dollar for every monthly active user on Reddit to switch over to lemmy, that'd cost them 850 millions.

In many engineering professions you really need to understand the underlying math to have a chance in hell to interpret the results correctly. Just because you get a result doesn't mean you get an answer.

So it did it correctly but you told it to hallucinate? Or did it just fail from the get to?
It really isn't great at math, but I've had okay results for equations where common integrals/trigonometry is used. It's quite easy to spot the mistakes and can lead you to the answer even if it's wrong in the explanation. Pretty much like how it can hallucinate while programming but still end up useful.
WolframAlpha is still my go to though if I'm lazy. But I haven't payed for it in ages.

In the threads I mentioned users were literally asking for alternatives. Trying to shove alternatives by posting in subs will end badly, no doubt.
With the advent of Reddit going public and selling user data an opportunity has arisen. I still consume Reddit from time to time and noticed in the threads about these things that a lot of displeased users were there. But when they ask what alternatives there are, lemmy is barely mentioned at all. So if you're still on there, this is a chance to educate others about the fediverse and alternatives.

Curious way of seeing it. I've never considered a new major version as being an entirely new OS... Do normal users even consider new Windows versions as anything but a UI "upgrade"?
If you don't want version numbers maybe you should run a rolling release distro? I don't think you'll be able to convince everyone to stop using them. They're quite instrumental when dealing with old systems on LTS versions when having to deal with EOL.
Or maybe this post is more of a "I just realized"-post?

I get it, you think you're doing good, I'd ask you to reconsider that. You're claiming someone is doing something no one has even considered yet. Judge the result, not your idea of what they're trying to do. You're painting a monster no one else sees.
I won't answer your second post to me since it wasn't targeted at you, and I'm lazy.

It's not inherently anti-trans. How can you say that, can't you see what OP wrote? And then you're trying to put a stample on me for not being a good enough supporter of the cause, so bring out the guillotines! Sometimes I feel like the trans communities greatest enemy is it's strongest proponents.
You can't speak for every trans person, neither can I. But if you think no one trans likes HP, or think that if someone trans likes HP they aren't really trans, then you can fuck right off. And if that's not what you're saying, then let it be?
People are weird, let them. If they aren't actively trashing other people they aren't doing harm. Stop being upset about things no one's yet to do to you. You just come of as an leftist incel.

I don't mean you can't choose to stay clear of HP yourself. What I'm hinting at is that you can disassociate with a group without the drama. HP fans aren't all bigots, that's obvious right? I like Wagner's music, I'm not a fucking Nazi. It's such a weird hill to die on with everything going on.
And choice to be trans? I dunno if it’s a choice anymore than I “choose” to love the same sex.
It's not the point, and I hope you got that but just couldn't leave without slapping my wrist.

Holy fuck. I like Harry Potter and want to speak about it, so what? Because JK made a few announcements? Words do damage and I get that it's already hard being trans and she isn't helping. But acting like this is just building more walls, dividing an already fucked humankind for no good reason.
I respect anyone's choice to be trans, but then you'll have to let me discuss HP without judgement as well. And if you won't, then you're the problem. Because I will still respect anyone trans, but I won't respect you.

I used to use one without any issues, it wasn't the 5 series but it had NFC. The worst part was setting up to use it as an ssh key. Just normal 2FA with it worked straight out of the box (firefox/arch). Is that what you're trying to do?

I think this is a bigger issue currently than sending large amounts of data across the globe. Though I wonder how much data a full copy would demand.
berg 9 months ago • 100%
That's quite the question to ask, but as far I can tell it only works with quantum information. Sending a body would be like you trying to fit into a fiber cable to be bounced inside of beneath the Atlantic to avoid the otherwise long flight.
Say a simple (hours enjoyed playing)/(price of game) equation. How many hours (you enjoyed) per $ do you think is reasonable/expected? Or is there other criteria for you? I feel like I'm on the upper end here. But to be fair I also tend to play things that has a lot of replayability. So I usually reach 100+ hours on my favorites eventually. Eager to hear how others reason about it. Edit: Added the enjoyed part. I agree with the comments that frustrating hours shouldn't be included in the measure :)
