At a time when the majority of EU citizens think the org is complicit in genocide.

Only because Google doesn’t index Chinese sites =P Deepseek had an access control bug when it first launched and Qwen is owned by Jack Ma.

The internet already asks for ID for everything. Cloudflare or phone verification, or an account from a service that requires one of those two. As much as possible, I don’t use things on the internet.

You can write fuck China on Lemmy.ml if it’s relevant and motivated. The difference is that it’s always obvious why the USA and Israel should be condemned. I think China’s Israel stance is super weak, and I doubt I’d get mod pushback for saying that in an article about how China keeps selling genocide-equipment to Israel during a genocide. Or about how China is pushing for a two-state solution instead of saying Israel is illegitimate and should be dismantled.

If you go “Fuck Cameroon” on an unrelated post, for example this one, a mod would rightly tell you to be civil or at least explain yourself. And if you then justify yourself on a basis of white supremacy or conspiracy theories as you are bound to do, then that reasoning will be rejected.

GPUs being able to spy on you is a problem. Linux and OSs should work on ways to minimise this possibility. But specifically worrying about them ratting you out to the CPC is in my opinion much less serious than spying on you for commercial interests. Ultimately it’s possible to avoid visiting China if you aren’t Chinese. Including Chinese websites.

You could watch two YouTube films at once. (No but seriously 2Mb/s is too low even for just YouTube. YouTube recommends 20Mb/s. And that’s probably assuming 30hz. So you probably actually want at double or more. https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/78358)

There’s no separate computer, it’s all in the monitor!

I’m really underwhelmed by 32B Qwen DeepSeek R1. Both in its reasoning and knowledge. Still haven’t needed to or tested it at maths, so maybe that’s where it really shines.

1.5b will run fast on just CPU I think.

The user’s library of apps are Windows apps. And Windows does support Linux programs. There are versions of Windows that don’t technically have it enabled by default, but it’s easy to install support. It has a built in command “wsl --install”, and a button in the store and start-menu. And for most users who get a pre-configured image from IT or their laptop manufacturer it’s pre-installed.

I really don’t get this community’s insistence on getting people to use Linux no matter how much destruction they bring. Steam games on Linux are not what anyone has in mind when they say Linux doesn’t have games. Because Linux isn’t binary compatibility, it’s libre software.

In my circles, if someone says “Linux such and such”, we assume they might be referring to their FreeBSD computer as well. Here it seems Linux is more likely to refer to Android. Emulating a sketchy Windows game doesn’t make Linux the better platform for games. The Windows games are always going to be best on Windows, and now your Linux computer has malware on it.

Add “having laws” to the list of things that are scary when socialist countries do it.

The law (…) will compel tech companies (…to) remove content the government regards as “illegal” within 24 hours.

Almost as scummy as the concept of a YouTuber using affiliate links.

It’s completely open to Microsoft and the NSA for sure.

It’s not zero, each fiefdom has very little power to keep users. As it is right now, a user unhappy with their instance culture or laws can move to another instance. Comparing it to moving in real life, in real life you have a lifetime worth of things that tie you to your fiefdom. Comparing it to well established and centralised social media, then those fiefdoms still have a lot of power over you.

Your social network can’t come with you, they’re SSO providers, they’re tracking and human-verification providers, they have high quality exclusive content, they’re sometimes the only channel for interacting with some third parties you have to interact with (Government, utility company, etc).

But the people above you didn’t suggest zero, they suggested the officially reported numbers. Earlier it sounded like you were going to make an argument as to why Chinese numbers are more likely to be under-reported than USA numbers.

A capitalist is someone who owns capital, not someone who supports capitalism. A liberal is someone who supports capitalism. I don’t think Linus is a liberal, given that he’s the Linux guy. But he’s obviously a capitalist, and that’s okay, that’s something you should strive towards if you live under capitalism, even if ideologically you oppose capitalism.

thought-terminating cliché

There’s no argument, it’s the definition of the word. Why do you assume there should be argument around the normal usage of a word?

War crime speedrunners doing something shouldn’t make you think it isn’t illegal. Booby-traps are illegal. https://www.icrc.org/sites/default/files/external/doc/en/assets/files/other/icrc_002_0811.pdf

Yes.
