Yeah. This is useless.

Can someone explain why, and what to use them for?

Unfortunately, from trying this myself, I don’t think you can forward port 53 to the Android host, so that won’t work (easily). It seems that privileged ports aren’t allowed to be forwarded.

This is literally the only humane way to keep everyone safe.

You can also fork proprietary code that is source available (depending on the specific terms of that particular proprietary license), but that doesn’t make it open source.

Fair point about llama not having open weights though. So it’s not as proprietary as llama. It still shouldn’t be called open source if the training data that it needs to function is proprietary.

Call it “open weight” if you want, but it’s not “fully open”. The training data is still proprietary, and the model can’t be accurately reproduced. It’s proprietary in the same way that llama is proprietary.

Nah. Tankies are wrong, but they’re also powerless. Conservatives actually have power though, and are extremely dangerous.

I really hope South Korea does the right thing and puts their tyrant under the jail (figuratively speaking, of course).

The closest that you can get is using something like Grayjay, where they have their own social media system, but your comments will only be interactable to other people using Grayjay.

It would require acting outside the confines of the law, because fascists aren’t bound by the law either. And the more the US government is made obvious to be a joke, the more people might finally get the fucking clue that institutions are meaningless when they don’t actually enforce the rules or provide meaningful support for what the working class actually needs, and they might eventually decide to do something about it.

That is, of course, hopeful thinking on my part, but I think it’s the only correct answer to “what can we do when an overt fascist has power”.

Additionally, on an interpersonal level, you need to find communities IRL if you don’t have them, and be defiant together. Don’t let these evil fucks normalize anymore bigotry or conspiracies than they already have. Even if social norms would dictate otherwise, call that shit out when it happens.

And don’t preemptively give up or resign your position if you hold some sort of influential role in society. Don’t make it easy for them. Every single bit of defiance makes it that much harder to impose the hell which they intend to inflict, which is in and of itself valuable.

The problem isn’t isn’t solved by Biden or Harris being “strong” on the border, because it is the wrong problem.

The real problem is that democrats have accepted the right-wing framing on immigration, by laundering the far-right narrative that there is a border crisis and putting forward a far-right immigration bill that would give the president unilateral power to shut down the border.

Them capitulating to this narrative lends validity to patently racist propaganda, like we’re seeing with Haitian migrants and the “Venezuelan gangs” story.

Aside from the fact that demonizing minority groups being a morally disgusting thing to do, it’s really stupid political strategy for the democrats. Voters that are preoccupied with brown people coming into the country will vote overwhelmingly for Repugs every single time. Democrats will not be able to win over those people racists by trying to out-righting the Republicans.

The problem isn’t the democracy bit. It’s the enabling racism and genocide, being spineless, and blind trust in institutions and civility bit that could cost them the election.

Best we can do is laundering the far-right narrative that there is a crisis at the border and advocating for the far-right border bill that Republicans want.

Dropsite News consists of former The Intercept journalists and they do really good work.

Also, anything that Mehdi Hasan does.

I’m well aware of the fact that Lucien Graeves is a shitbag, but TST does great work in spite of that, and they’re one of the only organizations that fight theistic nationalists in ways that actually bring attention to the issue.

Until a better group with unproblematic leadership comes along (maybe Global Order of Satan if they gain the resources to do similar activism?), I’d say it makes sense to critically support their work instead of dissuading people from supporting them at all.

Beto likely lost because he said the stupidest shit that a dem running in Texas could have said (“we will take your guns!”) and it killed his campaign momentum. And even then, he only lost by 2-3%.

To my knowledge, Allred hasn’t shot himself in the foot like that, so there is a real chance for him to win.

SmartTubeNext is is the good (no ads) version of YouTube for AndroidTV devices.

This is what so many people on Lemmy seem to be missing: Biden is ideologically Zionist.

As a politician, he’s taken less lobbying money than most (broadly, not just from AIPAC). He’s bought into the cause of building an ethnostate, as much as he lies when he claims to disagree with Netanyahu.

Lmao. Good.
