I mean... let's set aside that you are not even covered by GDPR.

Didn’t use my real name, didn’t log in - partly because I didn’t want to trigger Cloudflare’s fingerprinting again.

“When users delete their account, this action is permanent, since we delete any and all data associated with that account.”

I feel like you're making a mountain out of a molehill.

Practically, if you want to delete your account, you just log in and delete your account. If you are worried about cloudflare fingerprinting, well, use the same tools you'd use to resist it anywhere else on the web.

CivitAI doesn't make it difficult like a lot of services do, which is what GDPR is aiming to cover her. Technically it'd be a violation if you were even covered, but it doesn't really feel like the purpose of the law? And it says absolutely nothing about protecting you from Cloudflare fingerprinting.

Baloo can be disabled, it's just the background search indexer. So can kaccess (the accessibility service) and kde wallet (the secrets manager).

A lot of the widgets, effects and stuff take up RAM too.

I mean...

The weird sexism/girl idolation in a lot of anime is something. Even in more 'grounded' shows. It makes my skin crawl whenever I try anime, hence I think Cowboy Beebop and a Ghibli movie or two are the only things I finished.

"Western" animesque animation (Arcane, DCAU, Avatar, Dragon's Blood...) doesn't seem to suffer from that as much.

Ohhh. I've been into Stellaris, but never touched HOI IV yet. I like the more 'cold war' premise of this.

Definitelty going into my queue, thanks.

Man in The High Castle

Yeah, I dropped mid Season 2, I think. It was a really interesting premise that felt like it was getting stretched, carried by just a few characters.

Many moons ago, I dropped Supernatural and Smallville somewhere in the middle of their runs. Those are some looong runs, and that was enough.

Even Strange New Worlds?

Discovery was sooo boring, Picard was... rocky. I'm behind a season on SNW, but I think it's fun!

This is the correct way to watch GoT.

I mean...

You are looking at this the wrong way. If you post stuff on the open web, it's out there. It's been scraped for years, and will get scraped. The Fediverse is as low profile a place as any, but its no different.

If you don't like that, keep it in private chats, like Signal or text chains or whatever.


This is like mod makers who release Apache/MIT licensed stuff, but get frustrated over what others do with their mods. That's what releasing content into public means: others may do stuff with it you don't like, and you have to live with it, unfortunately. And honestly, I think it'd be tragic if they didn't publish mods over that fear.

It might have UX problems at this point? Maybe that's why they're hesitant.

I know "who is this for?" and "what would Steve Jobs say?" are tired memes, but... still. An even thinner body? Really?

Good!

Also, as a word of advice, when a bunch of linux forum folks tell you to do a bunch of manual stuff, don't listen to them.

It's always best to get fixes from your distro (or some package manager) first, where everything is integrated with the system and preconfigured and updated so you don't have to maintain it yourself over time. Like, for example, picking the legacy drivers from your distro instead of trying a manual install. I cannot emphasize this enough; it was a common mistake I made with linux early on.

I mean, not everything can be perfect, but its very easy to break the system and go down long maintenance rabbit holes.

 

Driving the news: Texas A&M's Andrew Dessler and Rutgers' Robert Kopp organized the response.

  • It gets into the "greening" and agricultural benefits of higher CO2 levels; disputes whether climate change is making hurricanes more intense; and disagrees with many scientists on the potential lower bound of expected warming from doubling CO2 concentrations, among many divides.
  • "When I read the DOE report, I saw a document that does not respect science," he tells Axios via email. "Instead, I saw a document that's a mockery of science."

Axios is short and light on ads, so the whole thing's worth a read.

 

Maybe this instrumental cover is closer:

But the guitar in the original sounds so "Rimworld" even if the lyrics/vocals aren't as topical.

 

"We're seeing a unifying moment. The band is back together," MAGA podcaster Jack Posobiec told Axios.

"He gets attacked just relentlessly by the Wall Street Journal in such an uncalled for way, and we have his back 100% against this smearing and this slandering," Charlie Kirk added on his show.

 

Similar to: https://lemmy.world/post/32961209

But I find the extra quotes interesting:

Two sources told Axios the plan would include long-range missiles that could strike deep inside Russia.

Trump said Monday that whenever he speaks to Putin, "I always hang up and say, 'Well, that was a nice phone call.' And then missiles are launched into Kyiv or some other city. And after that happens three or four times, you say, 'Talk doesn't mean anything.'"

A bill circulating in the Senate would impose 500% tariffs on countries that buy Russian oil, but Trump suggested that number was too high and that he could impose 100% tariffs without Senate approval.

 

As to why it (IMO) qualifies:

"My children are 22, 25, and 27. I will literally fight ANYONE for their future," Greene wrote. "And their future and their entire generation's future MUST be free of America LAST foreign wars that provoke terrorists attacks on our homeland, military drafts, and NUCLEAR WAR."

Hence, she feels her support is threatening her kids.

"MTG getting her face eaten" was not on my 2025 bingo card, though she is in the early stage of face eating.

 

"It's not politically correct to use the term, 'Regime Change' but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn't there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!

 

Video is linked. SFW, but keep your volume down.

 

In a nutshell, he’s allegedly frustrated by too few policies favorable to him.

 
  • The IDF is planning to displace close to 2 million Palestinians to the Rafah area, where compounds for the delivery of humanitarian aid are being built.
  • The compounds are to be managed by a new international foundation and private U.S. companies, though it's unclear how the plan will function after the UN and all aid organizations announced they won't take part
 

Qwen3 was apparently posted early, then quickly pulled from HuggingFace and Modelscope. The large ones are MoEs, per screenshots from Reddit:

Including a 235B/22B active and a 30B/3B active.

Context appears to 'only' be 32K unfortunately: https://huggingface.co/qingy2024/Qwen3-0.6B/blob/main/config_4b.json

But its possible they're still training them to 256K:

Take it all with a grain of salt, configs could change with the official release, but it appears it is happening today.

 

This is one of the "smartest" models you can fit on a 24GB GPU now, with no offloading and very little quantization loss. It feels big and insightful, like a better (albeit dry) Llama 3.3 70B with thinking, and with more STEM world knowledge than QwQ 32B, but comfortably fits thanks the new exl3 quantization!

Quantization Loss

You need to use a backend that support exl3, like (at the moment) text-gen-web-ui or (soon) TabbyAPI.

 

"It makes me think that maybe he [Putin] doesn't want to stop the war, he's just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through 'Banking' or 'Secondary Sanctions?' Too many people are dying!!!", Trump wrote.
