Windows Recall is secretly installed and enabled on non-Copilot+PCs (Privacy Nightmare)
  • I only play games that work native or via proton. I just use windows for the CAD programs that i need to use. I do gpu pass through and native for my host system idk how this would be for gaming tho.

  • Do you think there is censorship on Lemm.ee?
  • Havnt had issues yet, despite my unpopular opinions that get me in shit across the rest of the fediverse.

  • Japan shifting back to nuclear to ditch coal, power AI
  • Its 95% renewable. And all deaths from nuclear including the bombs and melted down reactors is equivilent to a couple weeks of deaths caused by coal pollution.

    I believe there is some evidance the oil/coal companies pushed anti nuclear propaganda cos it is so effective it would have effected their bottom line.

  • Wikimedia's instant-runoff 2024 board election (mbin doesn't support SVGs so I uploaded the 2560px PNGrender)
  • They hit the point of a garanteed position and additional votes where distributed so that nobodies vote was wasted (the point of runoff elections).

  • Seeking feedback: how should lemm.ee move forward with external images? (related to frequent broken images)
  • Wow didnt know they federated the proxied image kinda stupid ngl.

    We really need some sort of distributed content hosting for images that allows everything to have a single unique address servable by anyone. Perhaps a bittorrent that has all federated media.Can still have the address to the media be a url for the local instance as not to break frontends but backends could recognise it as universal bittorrent resource and fetch it in a distributed manner.

    Would also mean clients can implement their own retrieval as not to rely on the server but that wouldnt be required.

    I suppose u could also put websites content into the same system as a sort of archive. Make the fediverse more p2p distribute load to more smaller nodes improving resiliency.

    Anyone know how peertube has done their bitorrent implementation?

  • It's a central part of any relationship
  • Wow at least i have adblock and sponsorblock some people rawdog youtube and that frightens me.

  • Seeking feedback: how should lemm.ee move forward with external images? (related to frequent broken images)
  • I think proxying is very important else anyone can simply upload an iplogger or possibly more advanced fingerprinting image. This in combination with observing federated actions will make it very easy to deanonimise almost every single user who interacts in any way even upvoting.

    Can u simply increase the time period that nginx caches images for to avoid some of the rate limiting issues? Otherwise perhaps using proxy lists to proxy requests from lemm.ee to the image hosts is doable (im not sure about the legality of this tho).

    Have u emailed the image hosts letting them know what u do and asking if they can remove ur rate limit (idk if they would be receptive to this without a financial incentive).

  • Ukraine β€˜will seek nuclear weapons’ if it cannot join Nato
  • During the negotiations over the reunification of Germany in 1990, US Secretary of State James Baker made a verbal promise to Soviet Union Foreign Minister Alexander Bessmertnykh that NATO would not expand eastward if Russia accepted the reunification of Germany.

    The promise was made the debate is over its enforceability. Of course this promise meant nothing same as the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances also meant nothing.

    So basicly putin is a hypocritical bastard by claiming the whole nato wont expand thing was a broken promise while simultaneously breaking the Budapest Memorandum.

    EDIT: found the source.

  • Ukraine β€˜will seek nuclear weapons’ if it cannot join Nato
  • I believe the us promised to protect ukraine if they gave up their nukes. But a promise from a president only lasts as long as the president it doesnt have any enforcement behind it like nato does. It was the same type of promise given to the ussr that they wouldnt let ukraine join nato. There is a certain irony to that hey? Putin blames the us for breaking its nato expansion promise which was the same type of promise they gave ukraine to give up their nukes. Iirc.

  • Ukraine β€˜will seek nuclear weapons’ if it cannot join Nato
  • This has been the implied cause of action for a while. The fact that they had to spell it out explicitly is is cos the american public are to dumb to understand this has always been the implied alternative to proper support from allies.

  • Tankies celebrate rape
  • Im moat certainly not handwaving it away. Just educating everyone on issues that are at least 50times more important.

  • Communities search crashes app

    I changed search order for communities search now community search just crashes app

    This bot seems real harmful to lemmy's free speach

    lemm.ee Santabot - lemm.ee

    Santabot is an automated moderation tool, designed to reduce moderation load and remove bad actors in a way that is transparent to all and mostly resistant to abuse and evasion. This is a community devoted to meta discussion for the bot.

    Here's why I don't think this is a good idea.

    1. It would be extraordinarily easy to bot it and just silence anyone you want.
    2. I agree, moderation is absolutely necessary to maintaine civil discussion, but silencing people, because they have unpopular opinions, is a really bad idea.
    3. I love lemmy because it is the ultimate embodiment of decentralised free speech. This destroys that.
    4. If I were a bad actor, hypothetically, let's just say lammy.ml or haxbear and I decided I wanted to silence anyone who disagrees with what I have to say. Then I could just make a fork of this project to only value my instances votes and censor anyone who doesn't agree with what my community thinks.
    5. This tool simply acts as a force multiplier for those who want to use censorship as a tool for mass silencing of descent.

    Yes, I've read the Q&A, But I can simply think of more ways to abuse this bot for bad than it can be used for good.

    Am using qubesos but /etc/skel in template vm isnt copying to application vms

    Do i need to wipe the private volume for the template vm if so how?

    EDIT: I figured it out was because the template vm changes dont take effect until the template is shutdown. Took me way to long to figure that out.

    Am upgrading from thinkpad to framework 16 with amd. Looking for distro reccommendations.

    I did the whole distro chooser quiz but didnt help much.

    Heres the things id like to hit

    • avoid systemd
    • stable
    • Wayland support
    • Minimal packages
    • no immutable (seems like to much of a pain)
    • full disk encryption but thats pretty standard nowdays.

    Was going to go with devuan but the debian flavours dont have a stable with wayland yet. I was considering going with a testing or unstable build but would like to avoid headaches on a daily driver. Is testing/unstable got wayland and are they reliable enough? If so what do I go with.

    Also hows the hardware comparability with framework i assume it wont be too bad to get set up.

    My domain on duckdns isnt being resolved with rethink dns?

    I self host a bunch of things on my home network and since i dont have a static ip i use duckdns so i can access it via the greater web and set up ssl etc. Works great for my laptop and other people but on my phone where im using rethink dns to filter web access the duckdns domain doeant resolve (its not getting blocked it just not resolving at all). It resolves on cloudflare and ive set that as the fallback for rethink but still doesnt resolve any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.

    We currently have a complete digital map of 1mm^3 of human brain if someone where to simulate this would it count as human and thus have rights?

    If not what percentage of a human brain would need to be simulated to grant such human rights. If said brain was made made artificially and thus was never born is it still human? If we can simulate an AI of simmillar size to a human brain I assume thats not considered a human but if u put that into a body that can take a breath (I believe this is the legal definition of a human at least in australia jurisdiction). What's an actual lawers opinion on this?

    PS this is purly hypothetical I was talking to a lawyer friend and found legally its an interesting hypothetical. Whats ur take on this from ur legal POV.

    Cos if so why can I see a whole bunch of mod actions on the lemmy.ml mod-log but not here? If it doesn't how/why would any other instance respect a moderation action by another instance let alone know about it?

    What service should i use for AI backend that isn't openai

    I have written myself a web fronetend using langchain that uses a json based agent to do advanced tool use (websearch, calculations, document summarisation/information extraction, etc) and chain of thought reasoning. At the moment im using openai gpt-4-turbo for the main agent and gpt-3.5-turbo for some of the summation tools but openai models are limited in capabilities (wont talk about certain topic to the point of disregarding required output json formatting). What service can use that will run a preferably foss model as powerfull as gpt-4 that is pay per use with a langchain integration?
