Nice Windows key

I was immensely disappointed with the first darkest dungeon.

They’re a platform company that provides services. They could build proprietary services on top of a Linux distro. Basically the same as they’re doing now with Edge.

How many Americans were killed by Nazi Germany vs the other way around?

Intentions and moral frameworks matter, not only the sheer numbers of casualties.

That’s a conspiracy. It’s not plausible at all why they would attack the US and then immediately agree to pay for compensation.

Consider reading or listening to this on the question of moral equivalence:

I think you’re lying about the “covering up” bits of this story. Investigations into the incident started right away, with the Israeli Air Force claiming that they had mistaken the ship for an Egyptian battle ship. As a result, Israel agreed to pay compensation as mentioned in the article:

In May 1968, the Israeli government paid US$3.32 million (equivalent to US$28 million in 2022) to the U.S. government in compensation for the families of the 34 men killed in the attack. In March 1969, Israel paid a further $3.57 million ($28.5 million in 2022) to the men who had been wounded. In December 1980, it agreed to pay $6 million ($21.3 million in 2022) as the final settlement for material damage to the ship plus 13 years of interest.

Is it just me or is this community heavily biased? I wonder if this pro-Hamas stance is really present on Lemmy or if there’s some bot activity going on.

Can you talk more about this here by posting a good quality source?

Their CEO was active on 4chan when they started the company

This one made me giggle. Who are you, the moral internet police?

Glory to Valve for investing in Proton.

I keep it as Ricky Gervais once put it: for a true religion of peace, the most extreme followers would be extremely peaceful.

Many Muslim leaders have called Islam a religion of peace. For example, the former Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Ahmed el-Tayeb, has said that “Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance” and that “it is against all forms of violence and terrorism.” The current Grand Imam, Ahmed al-Tayyib, has also said that “Islam is a religion of peace and love” and that “it is against all forms of violence and extremism.”

Other Muslim leaders who have called Islam a religion of peace include the former King Abdullah II of Jordan, the former President of Indonesia Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, and the former Prime Minister of Malaysia Mahathir Mohamad.

Sure, it can plagiarize works it has been trained on. They didn’t show in the study, however, that this has occurred for copyright protected material like fiction books.

LLMs have been caught plagiarising works

Any source for this? I have never seen that.

I’m highly skeptical about GPT4 having been directly trained on copyrighted material by Stephen King. Simply by all the sheer information about his works, including summaries, themes, characters, and critical analyses that are publicly available, a good LLM can appear to be able to plagiarize these works, while it doesn’t. If I’m right, there is no leverage for creators to complain. Just accept that that’s the world we’re living in now. I don’t see why this world will stop the sales of books or movie rights on books, etc.

Then don’t dare to generate any tokens based on them!

Telegram’s official components are open source, with the exception of the server which is closed-sourced and proprietary.

Telegram was launched in 2013 by the brothers Nikolai and Pavel Durov. Previously, the pair founded the Russian social network VK, which they left in 2014, saying it had been taken over by the government. Pavel Durov sold his remaining stake in VK and left Russia after resisting government pressure.

Telegram is registered as a company in the British Virgin Islands and as an LLC in Dubai. It does not disclose where it rents offices or which legal entities it uses to rent them, citing the need to “shelter the team from unnecessary influence” and protect users from governmental data requests. After Pavel Durov left Russia in 2014, he was said to be moving from country to country with a small group of computer programmers consisting of 15 core members. While a former employee of VK claimed that Telegram had employees in Saint Petersburg, Pavel Durov said that the Telegram team made Berlin, Germany, its headquarters in 2014, but failed to obtain German residence permits for everyone on the team and moved to other jurisdictions in early 2015. Since 2017, the company has been based in Dubai.

I have, partially based on scientific data like this. It’s okay that you won’t.

Paranoid much?

Google Mail does not scan the content of your emails for the purpose of showing you ads. However, Google Mail does use some information about your emails, such as your email address and the sender and recipient addresses, to improve its spam and phishing filters.

You can control how much information Google Mail collects about your emails by adjusting your privacy settings. For example, you can choose to have Gmail not scan your email attachments for viruses.

Just read their general terms.

Why switch now if I could switch later (if they would really monetize it with fees, which I doubt)? It would be a pain in any case.

With Chromebooks? ChromeOS is a pretty solid Linux distro if you’d ask me. It is built around cloud-sync and Google Drive, but otherwise perfectly fine to use offline. Even Steam is supported nowadays
