Marketá Gregorová, maybe?

Absolutely is! lol

You might need three diamonds (or, if you’re feeling adventurous, two buckets) to do something and make these structures operational :)

And after you learn it, you can make yours.

Do tankies tend to put “liberal” on anything they don’t like?

I’m sorry, comrade, but that’s not how it works. There are many valid reasons people of all political backgrounds stand against using LLMs in (open-source) coding.

Platforms and projects taking direct action on the matter is exactly what communists usually claim to support. They make change where they can, and rally for a bigger one.

Ultimately, the most performative folks are those judging others without making something better themselves.

You talk about it being “blind” right under exhaustive list of reasons why.

The fact that these arguments appeared before doesn’t make them less true. Yes, the coding quality of LLMs has increased, and, notably, it stopped producing as many bugs all over the place, and even got to review bugs made by humans.

But it doesn’t remove all other issues from the table, namely:

• Issues of licensing and stolen code, potentially causing copyright problems which most open-source projects are poorly fit to resolve and may go down because of them
• Environmental impact of model training, huge data centers threatening water supplies, producing tons of e-waste, creating noise pollution, increasing power demand, including one from unclean sources at the critical point when we should reduce it as much as possible
• Deterioration in skill level of human coders and lack of avenues for juniors to learn to code properly, which is likely to stay as an essential thing to have
• Outside coding, there are many ethical issues around companies producing LLM models, as many have ties to the military and police, and are heavily misused to fuel fascist regimes
• And more.

I always take it, but it’s a bit of personal history

I once got stuck in a shower room because the lock broke, and I’ve spent about 6 hours on something like 3 square meters without any way to contact the external world nor entertain myself. It was just me, bath, washing machine and the sink. I’ve been alone at the house, so I couldn’t ask for help. Also, hot water pipes were being repaired, so I couldn’t take a nice shower/bath while at it, either.

Since then, I always took a phone with me. Just in case, y’know.

Probably just need to wait. They didn’t roll out the new version through update channels yet, likely to have more users test it first.

Hopefully now updates will go much smoother. I like the new design!

Few reasons I can think of:

• Proper SSL support
• Reachability of networks with dynamic IPv4 (through dynamic DNS)
• Running own email server (needs the domain)
• Actually running a site for someone to visit
• Basic convenience

Right. They keep the ownership of the domain and service it to you. They can revert it and bar your access any time for any reason.

When you register domain in a normal way, you are assigned to be the domain administrator and entered into WHOIS. For the year lease, the domain name is yours, and your registrar cannot take it down unless they have the legal reason to. You can also transfer your domain to another registrar.

Proxy registrars like Njalla keep ownership of the domain, keep themselves in WHOIS and can take your domain back for any reason at any point, because it’s actually theirs. You also cannot move it to other registrars for the same reason.

“To take on streaming”

In a partnership with Deezer, Winamp will be reborn as a completely new player with its own premium subscription service, with Deezer providing the white-label streaming technology and licensed catalog.

So, basically a nostalgic skin for Deezer.

Upvote to recognize the obvious satire

Downvote if you didn’t and take this literally

Turns out, some people can vote for candidate A and get candidate B either way.

Especially considering that US electoral system works in a way that even if the majority of the population chooses candidate A, candidate B can still win the election.

Iirc, this is exactly what happened to Trump, at least on his first term. Most votes were for Clinton, but Trump won anyway.

Your position could be understandable back in the day when it was mostly Russia and China who acted like that, and so it could be easy to feel superior by ignoring the objective factors getting into the equation. Nowadays, it spreads, and remaining ignorant about it will likely bite you in the not-so-distant future.

With all of this prepared, still, IT IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR POLITICAL ACTION

It will get worse. Harder. More inaccessible. More and more people won’t be able to live in a free net, and with that, the prospects of fruitful coordination will wane as well.

And this is by design. If they make it inescapable, people rise up. If they slowly make it less and less accessible, people end up in disarray.

Going the Tor way is not a saving grace. It’s a band aid.

Sincerely,

A person living in Russia, one who has already witnessed it unfold.

Yeah, North America and US specifically is one of these hard to reach places

Also, 12 minutes drive is a biking distance - if you have any semblance of bike infrastructure, that is. Surprisingly though, even American cities have that sometimes.

People commonly have a choice not to drive a car in the first place.

Though cultural pressures, as well as some specific areas being genuinely hard to reach, pushes many people towards it anyway. But if you have a choice, choose public.
