Can’t those both be true at the same time?

The “system” is working as intended by the rich elite/<insert antagonist>, which means that it’s fundamentally broken for the general populace, and therefore must be fixed, which is easiest done by first destroying and then rebuilding it?

Seems like an oxymoron to me, but I’m not entirely sure of the context.

You thought journalism had reached rock bottom already? Watch this:

Ideally, a .mp4, or any other non-executable file format, would not be able to execute rogue code on your computer, but the programs you use to open the files with might have security flaws which allow rogue code execution if done right.

You might have a hypothetical file, which might not be dangerous if opened with VLC, but which exploits a flaw in, say, Windows Media Player version x.y.z to execute a payload.

Sorry, for not including any examples, I’m currently not at the PC.

Not sure if i understand the request, but there’s the !trackers@lemmy.dbzer0.com community if you’re looking for open signups.

Pretty sure Leif Eriksson landed in Vinland before Columbus landed in the Bahamas.

In other words, I’ll be formulating a proposal to Mette-Mink to reclaim what only can belong to the (once) glorious Denmark!

I’m gonna be honest: I’ve been skimping on anti malware since i moved to Linux.

Still keeping up the common sense part about running code you don’t know and running untrusted code and weird URLs in a virtual environment (well, except for the AUR perhaps), but I only scan for malware once or twice a year, if at all.

Actually, I just did a scan with RKHunter which came back clean except for the usual false flags, which I find mildly suspicious as one would imagine there to be some malware with all the small time programmers and script kiddies in the Linux community.

What are you using as anti malware? Anyone knows of good methods for set-and-forget or some good GUIs for easy containment management, scanning, and whitelisting? It can’t be that ClamAV, RKHunter, and chkrootkit are the only halfway decent AVs out there.

Huh? That’s quite interesting.

I’ve been running a hacked-together script which uses a disembodied copy of Proton 8 (aka. copied to a portable drive, doesn’t need to have Steam installed to run) to launch my games from Itch and GoG.

Hmm, just tried to use Proton 9.0-2 and the current experimental in my steamapps (which appears to be version 9.0-202), and it works just fine. Though, I guess Lutris’ implementations are quite a bit more advanced than my hacks (no debugging let’s goooo).

A very simplified version of my script, for those who might be interested: pastebin.com/kbNNvzAx. Don’t forget to uncomment game_exe and set it to your executable - won’t work otherwise.

Also, pinging @DacoTaco@lemmy.world in case of interest.

I guess you could also ask: “Does the pro-tier give one any options/additional functionality that the non-pro/non-donation tier doesn’t?”

Obviously, if you have to pay for additional functionality (like settings/themes/updates) then it isn’t a simple ask for donation. Though, I’d argue to ignore trivialities such as “thank you”-emails and possibly a small visual-only token on the program that you paid/donated, as those barely count as “functionality”.

~~“Batteries” is a rather broad category.

Are we talking hydroelectric batteries? Other potential or kinetic batteries? Chemical batteries (and what subcategory)? Or maybe hydrogen-based power storages?

Since there’s a dam on the list, I’d imagine “batteries” to be electrolytic power stores or hydrogen fuel cells, but the visualization remains lazy and perhaps borderline misinformative (depending on how nit-picky you are).

EDIT: The illustration might also use a simplified definition of a battery (to store, excluding conversion between kinds of power) instead of the different battery technologies which exist or the full definition, which could have one argue that batteries aren’t renewable by definition.

Though, that might be reading too much into it.~~

Actually, never mind, I’m probably too tired to go out on an adventure about the technicalities of the definition of “battery” to make any real amount of sense and not fall into edge cases.

I also misread “energy source” as “renewable”…

You don’t have to sanitize the weights, you have to sanitize the data you use to get the weights. Two very different things, and while I agree that sanitizing a LLM after training is close to impossible, sanitizing the data you give it is much, much easier.

Oh no, it’s very difficult, especially on the scale of LLMs.

That said, we others (those of us who have any amount of respect towards ourselves, our craft, and our fellow human) have been sourcing our data carefully since way before NNs, such as asking the relevant authority for it (ex. asking the post house for images of handwritten destinations).

Is this slow and cumbersome? Oh yes. But it delays the need for over-restrictive laws, just like with RC crafts before drones. And by extension, it allows those who could not source the material they needed through conventional means, or those small new startups with no idea what they were doing, to skim the gray border and still get a small and hopefully usable dataset.

And now, someone had the grand idea to not only scour and scavenge the whole internet with no abandon, but also boast about it. So now everyone gets punished.

At last: don’t get me wrong, laws are good (duh), but less restrictive or incomplete laws can be nice as long as everyone respects each other. I’m excited to see what the future brings in this regard, but I hate the idea that those who facilitated this change likely are the only ones to go free.

So now LLM makers actually have to sanitize their datasets? The horror…

Should have seen him before!

The absolute ridicule! I’m sorry, but I might not survive this! How could this come to be?!

Nuh-uh, I saw a Steam survey that said that less than two percent of computers use Linux!

What do you mean by “the headless internet backbone servers, Android phones, and smart appliances don’t have Steam”?

Didn’t Windows 10 also have ads in the start menu from pretty much the start, like Candy Crush and such? Or maybe I just used a bloated OS image, wouldn’t be beyond me.

Hmm, well, I have heard women being compared to singing birds (or more degrading as vultures or pen of hens if in group), but I’ve more often heard women being romantically compared to bees or flowers. Though, I don’t think I’ve ever heard men being compared to bees, but often to birds (eagles, vultures, seagulls, etc.).

Might also be local culture, as I usually think of harmony, nature, and perhaps matriarchy when pondering bees, while birds seem much more gender neutral, like, standoff-ish, elegant, brutal, impulsive, egoistic, even presented as predatory and evil in children movies and some media.

So, using common stereotyping, you can see where I’m coming from.

Thank you for the explanation.

As someone not too familiar with American cultures, I’d probably make an assumption and go for the (to me) more masculine bird over the docile and flower loving bee, since bees have stingers that they normally would never use and birds have beaks/peckers.

Isn’t that a good thing in this case? Once someone invents a new innovative slur you can just go to ud and search it up, instead of making assumptions or having to ask them yourself.

Now LLMs are even taking the jobs of professional trolls! What’s gonna be next? The scambots loosing their jobs to LLMs?!
