You can also contribute to OpenStreetMap in your area using simple apps like StreetComplete or EveryDoor. This has a way lower barrier to entry than contributing code in my opinion. And it has the immediate benefit of a better local map for a LOT of services that are built on top of OSM.

I’m really not fond of the profiling by automated means, but it seems like an inevitable consequence of the design of the threadiverse. Everything is public and easily accessible by anyone that would like to profile you.

I certainly disapprove of moderation based on ideology. Moderation should be based on quality of the content and if it fits in the publicly readable rules. Definitely not some hidden analytics or if the user completely fits in the in-group of the moderator.

I will admit that this might be a good way to find and filter out LLM based bots that are only there to promote or manipulate the conversation. But it should still be done according to public rules.

Is this post written by an LLM?

I trust them as much as Google, Meta, or any other big tech company. I won’t use their cloud services, but I do run there local models.

I’m no expert, but basically the way to unlock higher/full bandwidth for HDMI 2.1. This will allow the use of higher refresh rate, resolution, and bit depth + HDR. Right now you need to make sacrifices in at least one category with HDMI

What is the difference between this implementation and the reverse engineered patches that were published a few months ago by Michał Kopeć and Tomasz Pakuła?

Edit: apparently it’s not the same patch, but Tomasz was CC’ed in the patch set so the timing might not be accidental.

I think I saw a similar comment on here last month. It was a user saying that Gemma claimed to send his chats to Google. Which is clearly a hallucination.

I’m not a professional or expert on anything security and/or AI related but this is my take:

• In general there will not be data sent anywhere if you use the big/trustworthy open-source backends.
• Unless there are bigger security issues the model files shouldn’t contain such code.
• Data could be sent using MCP/tool calling but you can see each tool call as it is happening so it can’t be hidden.

If you really don’t trust something you can always try to use a network sniffer

I’m European and had to do the same, so it’s based on something else.

Don’t know about Ubuntu specifically but for all software I actually want to work, I wait for the first point release upon a major release.

AllenAI has released open source models with open training data, code and science. If you value the ‘source’ to actually be open. They’ve also published the multimodal Molmo models.

Such a huge increase compared to previous months, with most of it coming from ‘64 bit’ and ‘0 64 bit’ seems suspicious. Don’t give me false hope…

Can confirm that I can’t open piefed.zip from Voyager now. Lemmy.zip works fine.
