A candidate being mad at a fact check is a massive red flag

Do you happen to use NoScript? Because I remember seeing similar things when using that.

You can also just use LibRedirect

Many people just downvote when they see any mention of AI. Unfortunately the Fediverse is pretty stubborn on this topic. That’s why I like the instance I’m on, @db0 is open to AI, and even develops AI tools you can run locally on your machine.

Beautiful

There’s a very similar FOSS alternative that can be self-hosted called Perplexica. You know what’s really funny?

When you ask Perplexity “Perplexity vs Perplexica”, it returns this answer:

Recent evaluations indicate that Perplexica often outperforms Perplexity AI in terms of interaction quality and content relevance. In various tests, Perplexica scored higher in comprehensiveness and user-friendly interactions compared to Perplexity’s different models (Vanilla and Copilot)

and

In summary, while both Perplexica and Perplexity AI aim to improve the search experience through AI technologies, Perplexica stands out as a more flexible and privacy-focused alternative. Its open-source nature allows for greater customization and control, making it suitable for users who prioritize data privacy and adaptability in their search tools.

LOL

Perplexity just acknowledged that it’s worse than its open source competitor

Do they really block all connections to popular cloud providers? That also blocks a bunch of “innocent” websites and services, doesn’t it?

Windows Copilot+ integration

You can get a free VPS from AWS or Oracle Cloud and set up Wireguard on it

Not anymore if you use their new sideloading framework… which is only available in the EU

Oh hell this one is even worse than OceanGate

Yet another reason not to vote for Diaper Don I guess

That’s exactly why more people need to leave Reddit and other corporate social media platforms

He must be getting really old and mixing that stuff up

Wrong instance I guess. Yeah, Lemmy.ml, Lemmygrad and hexbear are toxic as hell, but there are really nice instances out there. I chose dbzer0 and it’s great here. We also have many interesting threads about locally hosted FOSS AI. db0 himself is quite involved in this topic, he’s the initial author of things like AI Horde. Basically everyone on db0 I’ve seen acknowledges the active genocide that’s being conducted by the Israeli fascist government. Other topics on the instance are anarchism and of course piracy.

You know what’s not impossible? Leaving that shit hole and never coming back.

Elon is probably proud of it.

I feel the pain

You could even set up a cron job for it, or (at least on Arch) create a Pacman hook that runs fwupdmgr every time you update your system
