Leaving this mess behind:
Load up deepseek v4.1 flash q2 and you get opus 4.6 Intelligence at home at good speeds. No snitching.
Or, if you don’t mind moving slow, just use your brain ig.
Honestly atp the censorship isn’t even the worst of it. Go to Lemmy.ml, say anything bad against China and see how it goes. Many Lemmy communities are no better.
No the worst of reddit is the fact that it’s a data-mining operation at this point, with age checks and a complete Mishandling of your user data (everything is indexed and easy to search even if you set your profile to private…)
The economic implosion after that particular bubble is going to be spectacular… Dotcom will look like a road bump in comparaison
If you’re conflating UI and UX then I can’t do anything for you :P
Blender is not that bad, not even close in fact. Have you tried learning it at all? I know I have and per hour spent it’s far more empowering than other comparatively complex software.
You can’t compare a 2d picture editor to a full 3d modeling suite like they’re even remotely close. Blender is better.
Their ZCODE harness quite literally got caught zipping up people’s entire git trees and uploading them to alibaba servers. I have no qualms with Chinese ai but this specific company is on my blacklist.
Idk, seems like a fun truck to get off roading with, but probably quite dangerous to drive in a city with… Also basically runs on burning money.
Oh yeah Krita is FAR better than Gimp ux wise 100℅
I’ve spent 3 years learning freecad, and it’s bad, it’s entirely incapable of holding up against moderately complex projects, a simple fillet can break the whole model. It got better with 1.0 but it’s still so very far from competing with fusion or inventor / catia…
As for gimp… I’ve really tried adding it to my workflow, but it’s been a massive headache, I’d likely use photocraft over it given both options…
Ngl gimp never took off because it’s UX is terrible, plus it’s far from feature complete.
It’s like freecad in that regard, it exists, it’s foss, but it’s massively inferior to the paid options because UX is horrible and it breaks in weird ways.
Foss can be as good or better than non foss, just look at blender or Kicad, but these two aren’t it.
No bots you mean? X’)
That approach isn’t all sunshine and rainbows though, it’ll undercut local businesses (the few remaining ones), and without ID of Nyc residents non-nyc ppl could take advantage of these stores to resell the goods for a higher price…
I’m not sure how NYC is going to sustain the costs as well, more taxes? Capital flight will be a problem. Not a musk fan here, but there’s two faces to this coin.
Mb autocorrected from archinstall and i didn’t notice X’)
Since archinstall is a thing, arch really isn’t that hard to install or use, but these days I favor nixos for the reproducibility.
Meh, I’m gen Z and can roll out my own cpu on fpga, and run my own Linux kernel on it, so don’t circlejerk too hard, millenials…
Don’t buy from companies that do this, should be obvious?
Isn’t Basque part of france instead of spain?
Edit: looks like a small part is in france and most in spain, the more you know…
That’s already a much more sensible view on anti work than i’m used to, I can see the argument in this. However there will be such ethically wrong jobs in the current system for as long as they don’t get automated away.
Once that happens things could get even worse for the people dependent on such jobs, so we need to fight on forcing the wealth created by automation to be shared, either through UBI or some other system… This would partially eliminate that dependency maybe?
Given the lower-than-ad hominem I won’t even bother to try and correct you in deforming my words, just know that the very tech and infrastructure that allows you to say this was built by the system you say you hate…
Why don’t you go live in the woods then?
Might want to block the .ml instances if you don’t want to see too much weird chinese propaganda… (Tankies are weird).
