  • This thread, I haven’t checked your profile. Why would you pretend to be an asshole? And why want to be one? There is enough assholes in the world as it is, please don’t be one of them. It is a choice 😊

    You are on Lemmy, we’re supposed to make it a nice place, so that society can flourish and not be destroyed by big tech social media. There is enough challenges ahead already.



  • And another point, as a man a lot younger than say Salma Hayek. I’d happily be her young handsome piece of action. I would also get to be with an extremely attractive woman.

    The same goes for these women and Leonardo Di Caprio. He is objectively an attractive man. It’s also bragging rights. I was in a relarionship with x-celeb. Of course many women dream of being with him, and of course a lot of them are gorgeous.

    I think they are both having a great time, and see no reason to judge.

    I fully agree let’s care about the things that actually matter and actually hurt people.


  • So there is not any trustworthy benchmarks I can currently use to evaluate? That in combination with my personal anecdotes is how I have been evaluating them.

    I was pretty impressed with Deepseek R1. I used their app, but not for anything sensitive.

    I don’t like that OpenAI defaults to a model I can’t pick. I have to select it each time, even when I use a special URL it will change after the first request

    I am having a hard time deciding which models to use besides a random mix between o3-mini-high, o1, Sonnet 3.5 and Gemini 2 Flash




  • Contacts gives you full field of vision, and they don’t get dirty. If you are lucky you only have to take them off and on for switching once per month and can sleep with them. I am one of those, and can buy the cheapest contacts too.

    In other words, always good vision, with full FOV


  • Me too. Not going to make something as simple as this difficult.

    I want to leave, I leave. Giving others the opportunity to say goodbye is polite in my opinion. A wave to the group and a quick round of hugs if that makes sense.

    At a minimum one should say goodbye to the host.


  • It’s not about privacy.

    But I can address that first. It’s hard to argue that Kagi can be trusted with your data in my opinion, because they - unlike DDG and Startpage handles payments from you. So they know exactly who you are and what you search for. You have to trust them when they say they don’t log. This in itself is enough for me not to use them.

    Besides that the main problem is that Yandex is a Russian company. Russia is currently invading a democratic peaceful independent nation.

    A lot of countries including my own are sanctioning Russia and Russian companies. I feel that indirectly supporting a Russian company is contributing to the Russian war economy. The sanctions are there for a reason, to hurt the Russian economy, so that they are pressured to stop the war.

    Kagi has a choice and they have decided to stay on the wrong side of history. They have multiple explanations online, but none of them is sufficient in my opinion. Staying “apolitical” is a political choice when there is an agressor.




  • I have tested Deepseek and have found it to be pretty open about censorship in at least many topics. I asked it some questions about China and it mentioned issues with Xinjiang, Uyghurs, and Taiwan. I did not bring it up, or try to trick it into talking about it. It was mentioned as some future challenges China will face.

    It did not share explicitly what those issues were, but that those are sensitive issues.

    In other words it does acknowledge that there is censorship, I doubt that it is fully open about all the censorship, and potential bias if it has any baked in.

    I did not experience any obvious bias or censorship.

    I guess questions regarding Tiananmen square would be censored though, but how not asked.






  • There are another important reason than most of the issues pointer out here that docker solves.

    Security.

    By using containerization Docker effectively creates another important barrier which is incredibly hard to escape, which is the OS (container)

    If one server is running multiple Docker containers, a vulnerability in one system does not expose the others. This is a huge security improvement. Now the attacker needs to breach both the application and then break out of a container in order to directly access other parts of the host.

    Also if the Docker images are big then the dev needs to select another image. You can easily have around 100MB containers now. With the “distroless” containers it is maybe down to like 30 MB if I recall correctly. Far from 1GB.

    Reproducability is also huge efficiency booster. “Here run these this command and it will work perfecty on your machine” And it actually does.

    It also reliably allows the opportunity to have self-healing servers, which means businesses can actually not have people available 24/7.

    The use of containerization is maybe one of the greatest marvels in software dev in recent (10+) years.

    This is one of the things that bother me with people being anti-trans. Why the hell do they care? There is nothing, NOTHING that trans people are asking for that bother me, because it does not affect my life. I don’t see how it affects theirs either.

    There are two things I know little about when it comes to trans.

    1. How to make it fair in sports, but I really don’t care for sports. So I haven’t researched it. Don’t really care if they participate, but I don’t take sports seriously anyways.

    2. How to protect vulnerable people from themselves. This is probably contraversial, but I am for giving trans people the treatment they need to transition, or at least make sure it is possible at a later stage by giving hormones / blockers. So that they can transition a bit older.

    However (the controversial part) many trans people are vulnerable and also struggle with other issues and operations is often permanent. This is something that I don’t believe is easy to decide, I am ignorant here, I trust medical professionals, psychologists, psychiatrists and the trans community to come up with guidelines / practice here. It is however not something that I think politicians should decide, or is competent in deciding.

    The only reason I care about point 2 is to protect people from mistakes, not to stop trans people from transitioning!

    Thanks for reading my rant 😊
