Weird how shit like this always is an issue in the USA and basically nowhere else. Must be the lack of freedom or sth., we’re just too suppressed in commie Europe to have these issues, can’t even buy 9mm rounds in the supermarket. Shame.

Sounds like you’re volunteering to do that additional amount of work.

This. There are so many excellent reasons to dislike Linus, but the way Pop_OS! screwed him over (yes, that way around) isn’t one of them.

Mmh, seems like that project is somewhat in license hell. Awesome that person does it anyway though, better downloading the releases before Nvidia gets pissy.

• Check Z-axis
• Use Brim
• Use 3DLac adhesive spray for the corners

Especially the spray is 100% worth its cost (also a must if you print e.g. ABS/ASA).

Oh god, it’s Matrix Element. Yeah, of course it’s absolute shit.

Did you? The pictures and graphics are all AI so I’m extremely unsure how trustworthy the text is.

If this project is closely based on Calibre it requires the [AIP] prefix.

Edit: Definitely needs it, Claude Code is in the contributor list.

FSR and lower settings (texture resolution and shaders in particular) are your friend. Also Gamemode to reduce background load from other processes, but Bazzite already takes care of that I assume.

Other than that there’s hardly anything you can do except limit your gaming to any game with a mininum requirement of <=4gb VRAM. In some special cases there might be mods available that pull down the graphics harshly beyond what the game intended (I know such mods from e.g. NieR:Automata), but that’s pretty much the limit of possibilities for the end-user.

In emulators there sometimes are settings letting you adjust the texture sizes, internal resolution and alike, those are definitely most interesting if some game lags on your machine due to VRAM.

Why the AI slop picture?

Anyway, does it need to be screenshots? My first thought would’ve been to curl the whole thing and selectively check for changes within specific sections such as the main content area while excluding pre-defined sections (e.g. a nested div of the class “price”). Your visual 5% tolerance might not catch tiny changes in a compliance document.

I like matrix too but am dealing with weird […] issues

The quintessential Matrix experience

There are parental controls, but it’s rare. FOSS projects usually aren’t very keen on building systems of authority, even parental ones.

For smartphones check out /e/OS (Murena Smartphones). They added parental controls recently, not sure how good those are though.

For computers your best bet’s probably a Linux with Gnome. They also added something recently.

You might be able to combine both with a custom DNS service, surely there’s something out there for that usecase (NextDNS?). But that’s already getting pretty complex.

Mullvad’s CEO finances fascists, please don’t.

I mean, they “plan” to publish that info, right?

I’d bet they used at least CommonCrawl (with it being the majority of data), arXiv, Wikipedia and the set containing all of Github. Probably not a lot of distillation.

CommonCrawl is one of the reasons small websites and social instances get DDoS’ed by rules-ignoring AI crawlers. Wikipedia data basically always gets used without paying them. Github… well, it’s a prime example of how they broke millions of licenses.

There’s also other stuff commonly used. Don’t get me started on the training sets for image generation. It’s beyond disgusting (and I’m not even talking just about theft and cultural destruction at this point).

This stuff is a bottomless pit, and if those (F)OSS models really aim to be up at the top they’ll have to break every possible moral, ethical and legal rule just like everyone else. Even more so if they omit closed-source training sets.

My question would be if it uses stuff like CommonCrawl as training material. Given their size I assume they used anything incl. unethical training data, but at least admit it?

The only models I ever found that even tried to only resort to ethically obtained data, being FOSS etc. were the tiny ones from PleIAs. And as expected they’re completely useless.

So far I concluded that an “ideologically sound” LLM is impossible due to lack of training data. Unless your ideology allows to steal stuff.

Please make sure to look up the company quite a bit, including their Play Store App reviews. If I remember correctly the support and software from xTool was horrendous.

Go to Haiku. Maximum incompatibility but still with a slither of daily usefulness.

“Using a machine, made through evil, reurgitating stolen art that threatens artists is bad!”

“Haha you’re silly.”

Well, you do you. Other than you DeckPacker’s backbone makes them look hot, rich & sexy.

There’s also the cleanroom theory of AMD & Valve having some devs sit in an environment without access to specs for 2.1 or anything and reverse-engineering the whole thing from scratch. Because for some stupid legal reason that’d be allowed.

Not just that, companies are using “smart” devices as AI scraper botnets to utilize private, basically unbanable IPs. There are only very few companies who I might believe them not doing it (AllenAI and maybe Mistral - tell me if I’m proven wrong pls). But OpenAI, Anthropic, fucking Google and Meta, they all treat your network as their personal internet extension. It’s reasonable to assume any “Smart” device with wifi access that isn’t FOSS most likely being your enemy.

Our family Nextcloud already got taken down by OpenAI swarming it… overloaded and crashed php-fpm within a minute. At least one client blasting all endpoints still advertised themselves as OpenAI crawler.
