Change the GPL and make the GPL only apply to NATURAL HUMANS and NOT CORPORATE HUMANS. If the corporates want to use it, they can make a licensing agreement and put money into a trust of all who support it. They don't want to pay? Too

The big problem with these "social media child bans", is that the capitalistic extreme-addictive experience IS harming everyone. Not just children. What should have been was what Cory Doctorow has pushed - forced open API integrat

You have a strong point, and it's probably not the one you want to make. Non-violent (peaceful, loud, signs) protesting does little to nothing. Historically speaking, what does work is violence, and a lot of it. Even in the USA, our ow

WHOSE SAFETY? What are the rules? Or does sharing the rules present security problems, so they're not shared? What are the ethics axioms? And why should I trust your ethical framework?

An abliterated locally ran model is aligned with whatever I ask it, given the never-published nature of what these things are trained on. BUT if I ask an abliterated model a question, it will respond and NOT give a refusal. However, take a

I'd be happier if H1B's (read: employment slavery) was completely redone and not tied to a single sponsor company, or gotten rid of completely. I know so many IT folks who are unemployed. And compounding that is unmitigated slop m

Alignment is just a 1984-esque way of saying "censorship". And this censorship isn't a defined list of things not to discuss, but instead a feels-based censorship based on the 'ethics' of for-profit AI companies who

Sure, theft is theft. But when your corporate policies put weeks/months for an upgrade, and you can do it in 3 hours by reallocating to the same business (no theft), that's just using broken business practices to people's adv

Xen prevents modifying ACPI data. It also passes obvious "Xen emulated drive", and similar for all hardware interfaces. Passes CPUID. Can't stop any of this with Qubes/Xen. But is trivial with Proxmox/KVM. Honestly,

I dumped it after realizing Xen does its damndest in preventing you from hiding VM attributes from Guest OSes. Proxmox uses KVM, and is easy to configure a VM to make the guest think it's on bare metal. In the proprietary software spac

And Jellyfin for the server. And whatever leftover storage you have. And PIA or Proton for a port forwardable VPN. And https://github.com/halcyon-video/halcyon-video for that real Blockbuster experience.

This whole story you tell is the same for lots of places. It's the tell of a failing state who cannot provide for their people. Hard/bad/no jobs? People will steal. And the thefts may cost $3000 to replace, but $300 in theft

So what makes raw fish safe is that the fish is froze at a temp for a period of time. Its different depending on temp and duration. But the cold kills the parasites. Its why "sashimi grade fish" is safe.

Yep absolutely works as well. Was just on my phone and gave an example. But arduino = 5v logic, and esp = 3.3v logic. Also ESP does have a lot higher base load than a atmega chip. You can do tricks to get those down to microwatts.
