why are (some) extroverts like this?

I sometimes do this too even though I’m very introverted. I do this because I want to feel useful with the experience I gained and it just feels like a waste sitting on some knowledge and not being able to do something with it.

It’s a really cool thing if you can help someone. And some people have such a need for this, either they completely forget they were very explicitly not asked, and some will ignore it, just in the hopes they get to contribute.

Funnily enough I get to see both sides, because I also sometimes get an answer from multiple people, so I’ve learned how to handle it to some degree.

The best thing to do is not to tell them to shut up, but to acknowledge it and then explicitly say “also wanna hear from [experienced] person as well on this though.”

I think drawings are good because this gives us more cat per cat.

This is probably the best answer. If everything is truly only running on local network and nothing is exposed with a port through your router, you are very safe.

Most issues get introduced when running a server exposed to the Internet.

That said, on the lowest level, if they want to get you, they will. It’s all a risk analysis. And the more interesting you are to adversarial parties, the higher the chances you’ll get pursued.

If you’re Edward Snowden, 99% your calls and conversations are always on record.

If you’re John Doe, truly only your ISP cares when they get a law enforcement request because you really pushed the envelope.

Trending movies are notoriously bad, because movie studios will really try to rake in the revenue.

On the other hand, ripping music from YouTube, no one cares or is able to track it, so risk is very low.

*the three of us.

I’m very new to open source but I’d love to get involved but is there a discord or something to get up to speed?

Disgraceful

I mean blocking specific countries is stupid anyway. Historically China has been playing games with the EU and the US on a geopolitical level. But: Chinese, European as well as American researchers have been at the core of research on current topics like AI, security, etc. Btw. ironically the scientific landscape is very collaborative and borders on a federated model, it’s actually pretty neat how much researchers don’t care about country of origin.

What I’m saying is introducing geopolitics into open source development or research is one of the most stupid things to do, because it punishes both your and the other country and only benefits uninvolved third parties. It’s literally shooting yourself in the foot.

My comfort song :)

Also it’s very relaxing and I think that’s a good thing for my peers lol.

2 pillow connoisseur here, it’s not perfect but it’s def better than being a 1 pillow andy.

Gotta mention Spiritbox. Courtney is one of the most celebrated modern metalcore singers.

Yeah.

Discord needs to moderate, so they ban and therefore conclude their legal obligations.

If it was CSAM and discord thinks it’s bad enough, they will probably forward the information to the authorities.

Now if the authorities think it’s worth an investigation and give it the proper priority, they will start one. If the investigation concludes and they still think you’ve done goofed bad enough, they will persue you under criminal law.

See how many ifs there are and how many people have to sign off on it? There’s quadruple human review at minimum in there, and there’s no way they think they can win on those charges when the evidence if gd damn popcorn.

Also, you can appeal a ban. I got auto banned on discord about 2 months ago and I appealed because I know for a fact I did nothing wrong - I was literally asleep and my last messages did not even contain profanity. I was so mad cause that account is important to me. They reinstated it - to their credit - in a matter of hours. Still, could’ve done without the heart attack.

TL;DR you’re more than safe as long as it wasn’t actual CSAM.

I think it’s fine to dislike a culture. You can respect a culture without finding a liking in it.

Yes, been using that to track my bank accounts and stuff and it’s really helpful, although I had some trouble understanding how to use it since I’m a layperson xd

You’re screwed dude

Harsh, but from what I see I agree, fixing it might be harder than redoing it, and covering it up if it looks good is the easiest solution you have

Accurate

Asterisk on that - I consider black forest’s image generation models to be leading, and their pro variants are commercial only.

That said everything else has leading models that are all open source I think, except for ChatGPT which is becoming obsolete right now.

This news cycle is one hell of a nothing burger.

This.

Discovery and user abstraction are Lemmy’s biggest issues and we are not addressing them to the degree we should.

I know there’s some stuff on all those centralized platforms that’s way over the top, but most of it is actually pretty helpful. And you’ll miss it once you switch here.

Good.

That last part is messed up. If that’s true that warrants a ban.
