I think retaliatory downvotes happen either way if you’re in an argument. Same with report abuse, which, if it happens to a high degree, would be the moderator’s responsibility to ban the perpetrator (reports here are not anonymous like they were on Reddit).

Also, if there’s someone with an abusive mind, they can easily use another instance that shows Activity to identify downvoters. The vote is public either way for federation purposes, they’re just hidden from certain instances - at least on the user level, but they’re still there technically.

Fedia hiding the activity is one of those things that I kinda dislike, as it was an easy way to detect certain trolls.

I think you want to work on your reading comprehension. The topic is about politically problematic mbin instances, not how mbin works.

I would not risk it if you’re at risk of getting kicked out or something, especially if your host country is stricter on that type of content. Just join one of the existing instances and subscribe to whatever Lemmy communities you want to see federated with it.

I’m quite sensitive to Tankies and seen some other Lemmy instances that seem problematic but I have not noticed any mbin instances standing out in any way. But all mbin instances combined are just a few thousand users at best, so it might just be too few users to even make an impact if there was a specific Tankie instance.

I don’t think so, it’s just what I’m more familiar with and I usually try to avoid apt’s PPA hell as much as I can. But maybe I should try some others, as I couldn’t get Mullvad to run either yet. :/

Text gen web ui I tried quite a while before I went to koboldcpp on my previous distro and I could not get that to run without crashing whenever I tried to generate anything. Sillytavern is my standard frontend that I use, so any text gen software should inherently compatible with that anyway.

6650 XT. Honestly no idea. When I run make LLAMA_HIPBLAS=1 GPU_TARGETS=gfx1032 -j$(nproc) in the Fedora distrobox on kobolcpp it throws a bunch of

fatal error: 'hip/hip_fp16.h' file not found
   36 | #include <hip/hip_fp16.h>

errors and koboldcpp does not give an option to use Vulkan.

At the moment I just don’t. I got kobolcpp to run through distrobox / boxbuddy but I can’t get it to compile with rocm, so I can only use CPU generation, which is abysmally slow. Might go back to NovelAI when they release their new model if I can’t find a solution.

Even worse on Linux. Even worse on more exotic distros like Bazzite where I still can’t get koboldcpp to run, which was already kind of a hassle on my previous distro.

I’m amazed that YouTube doesn’t try and do this somehow.

They do. They even give the creator statistics on which thumbnail generated more clicks (completely ignoring other factors so it’s a misleading metric anyway).

It’s no one’s fault. It’s a system that creates a race to the bottom.

Hard disagree. It’s everyone’s fault who actually supports the practice in some form or another.

DeArrow hopes to stop this cycle. It’s time to return to a more peaceful experience.

It would just “hide” the clickbait, which would cause people who block clickbait, to suddenly click on clickbait, further supporting the clickbait norm through additional clicks that weren’t there before.

Do people seriously not know what a freaking mammoth is?!

Fucking hell. The word “AI” really lost all fucking meaning huh? Not just is it not applicable to LLMs, it’s especially not the correct term to use for ordinary spam bots, which exist for decades by now.

As a non American I’m more salty about Oculus. lol Although at its height it was also severely annoying that every freaking company used FB pages instead of their own websites, including for support requests. So without FB you literally could not contact them. Luckily that trend only held up for a few years but it was still annoying as hell.

Shit. I’m gonna turn my alarm off and get some proper sleep the next days…

5 bucks per month per active user sounds excessively expensive, no?

Assuming he did not upload the whole movie or demanded money for those scenes, I don’t see how that’s a good case for the copyright holder. Movie snippets are used all the time, everywhere, including YouTube, without this being much of an issue. The most glaring one there would be the auto detection, which again, is more to prevent actual piracy being shared.

Edit: Also, why is he getting arrested instead of getting a letter?!

No one in “The West” outside of the CIA ever thinks about Russia when they aren’t putting their dick in the punchbowl.

They’re literally bathing in the punch bowl for at least a decade+ now. Surely there’s people who do give a fuck. I do.

I see the Putin-bot is still not banned. https://fedia.io/m/technology@lemmy.world/t/951408/Russia-using-Kaliningrad-as-a-base-to-disrupt-EU-satellites/comment/6061366#entry-comment-6061366
