I think they don’t take inspiration from Photoshop. Either it’s been a clone of a different product at some time or they developed it themselves. Hence the differences. I mean the whole UI doen’t really resemble similarity to Photoshop.

There are some blog posts on annas-blog.org from 2022, talking about IPFS.

The article doesn’t talk much at all about all the interesting technical details.

The press release talks about trouble with payment providers… So I suppose they accepted credit card payment.

Maybe the court documents are publicly available if anyone is willing to dig them up in order to find out… I don’t think I’m that interested. If it’s a good story, maybe someone will do a documentery or podcast episode at some point. Would probably do for a “true crime” show.

Give me like $7,500 and I provide enough harddisks for 183,200 episodes. I’m not sure what to calculate for traffic, though.

And I mean it’s a bit unfortunate that you have to commit money laundering and/or tax fraud alongside this “business model”. It’s just not that easy to say: Hey, I would like to pay taxes on this pile of money and I don’t want to say where I got it from, it’s definitely mine, though.

Correct answer. And this is going to help way more than adding a few trackers. Also consider doing the port-forward in your router, if you’re behind a NAT and it doesn’t do it automatically. That makes even more peers available.

Sure. I buy tickets to their concerts, have bought CDs, movies, buy their game in the next Steam sale or on Humblebundle, rarely Patreon or support indie things on Ko-fi or whatever. I buy a novel if I enjoyed the first chapter(s) and want it on paper. Or go to the library. I just can’t afford all the music and Spotify isn’t paying the artists properly either. And I don’t want a DVD collection, so for TV series they don’t get money from me. Except for what the one streaming service I pay for forwards to them.

But reading that text like they tell you to do, is kind of an exercise in futility if you choose topic two. (the benefits of artificial satellites in telecommunications) I’d be angry at that point.

Btw: Might be that you’re behind a NAT (router) and that’s why bittorrent doesn’t connect. You’d need to figure out which port your torrent client is configured to listen on and then do “port forwarding” of that port to your machine in the router you got from your ISP. Or use something like UPnP that does this automatically.

Not sure if that applies in your case and it’s unsolicited advice… But a fairly common issue with bittorrent.

Look at the USA, UK or countries like China. I think they’re all ahead if us. Leading in different fields. A skewed balance between capitalism and citizens rights, surveillance in general, and a dystopian surveillance state.

services.tabby.enable = true;
services.tabby.acceleration = "cuda";

? Could be another way.

I’m pretty sure he did this out of this own motivation because he thinks/thought it’s a fascinating topic. So, sure this doesn’t align with popularity. But it’s remarkable anyways, you’re right. And I always like to watch the progression. As far as I remember the early videos lacked professional audio and video standards that are nowadays the norm on Youtube. At some point he must have bought better equipment, but his content has been compelling since the start of his Youtube ‘career’. 😊

And I quite like the science content on Youtube. There are lots of people making really good videos, both from professional video producers and also from scientists (or hobbyists) who just share their insight and interesting perspective.

And maybe have a look at his Youtube channel and the older videos, too. Lots of them are a bit more philosophical and not too technical for the average person. I think he’s quite inspiring and conveys very well what AI safety is about, and what kinds of problems that field of science is concerned with.

I’d agree with the recommendation of Lutris and Bottles. Just install the two and see what you like and which works best. I’ve heard Lutris is pretty good. And both tools handle most of the underlying stuff for you, like managing Wine and Proton.

There are quite some guides/tutorials/youtube videos on how to use them.

I’d say you don’t neccessarily be gay to write some queer fan fiction.

I think they’re using Widevine DRM. And with DRM they can enforce whatever arbitrary policies they like. They set special restrictions for Linux. I think Amazon set 480p as max, Netflix 720p and YouTube 4k or sth like that. AFAIK it has little to do with technology. It’s just a number that the specific company sets in their configuration.

Quite some AI questions coming up in selfhosted in the last few days…

Here’s some more communities I’m subscribed to:

And a few inactive ones on lemmy.intai.tech

I’m using koboldcpp and ollama. KoboldCpp is really awesome. In terms of hardware it’s an old PC with lots of RAM but no graphics card, so it’s quite slow for me. I occasionally rent a cloud GPU instance on runpod.io Not doing anything fancy, mainly role play, recreational stuff and I occasionally ask it to give me creative ideas for something, translate something or re-word or draft an unimportant text / email.

Have tried coding, summarizing and other stuff, but the performance of current AI isn’t enough for my everyday tasks.

Yeah, but usually with open-source software you get like 150 Github comments complaining and outlining their shady business practices… If there’s something to complain about.

The XZ disaster is an example for sth else. There are probably more backdoors in proprietary software that we just don’t know about. And they can just keep it hidden away and force the manufacturers to do so. No elaborate social engineering like in the XZ case needed… And no software is safe. They all have bugs and most of them depend on third-party libraries. That has nothing to do with being open or closed source. If so, being open provides you with more of a chance to catch mischievous behaviour. At least generally speaking. There will be exceptions to this rule.

hoerbuch.us if you want German content.

What’s that got to do with AI?

Edit: Ah. Probably the search bar from the screenshot.

Isn’t that very similar to what TikTok does? Just with a different algorithm and maybe other content than just videos?
