Looks interesting

How is Rust not problematic? Cargo has the same risks involved afaik

Have you tried Stump?

I understand the lack of ethics and I agree that their current mode of use is definitely a net negative, but was wondering more about the impact on the environment specifically.

How about the smaller open source models? Is the impact the same? I’m also wondering how much DeepSeek v4 changes this since the inference costs are several times lower than before. I’m sure there’s still a lot of negative effects, but I’m wondering if the needle has moved at all.

I don’t know how you’ve not encountered a 504 yet if you’re actively using Codeberg. It’s a known issue with a lot of impact.

GitLab’s CI might be better but otherwise, the interface is pretty horrible and no one I know wants to have anything to do with it. I understand that can be subjective but everyone I’ve suggested it to in the past has come back with the same thoughts.

I remember trying radicle in its early days and having issues. Hopefully by now they’ve been resolved. Will check them out again.

I’m not a professor but I’m asked often for advice by students. Both due to open source contributions and also due to friends.

If you’re up for self-hosting, you can also use something like Calibre-Web or Stump, they have Kobo Sync support AFAIK. I just use OPDS with KOReader though

I have no idea why you would assume that. You need to stop thinking in binaries and be pragmatic. All my stuff is already on self-hosted Forgejo. So personally, I’m fine for now.

But genuinely, where am I supposed to tell people to host their stuff? When a college student tells me they want to host their first project somewhere, what is an actually viable answer at this point? My answer would have been Codeberg if not for the 504s, but I’m a bit lost now since that became a daily occurrence, so tell me yours.

Codeberg is constantly 504ing and private repos aren’t encouraged. Sourcehut is paid. GitLab is GitLab. So where are people leaving to?

Self-hosted Photon on PC and Summit on Android.

It could. The removal of “transparency” indicates to me that the clients might also stop being open source at some point and Vaultwarden doesn’t have its own clients.

From what I understand, it’s more about what the scene is meant to be. She’s not supposed to have makeup on and her expression is meant to be sombre because of her mental state and stuff she’s going through but DLSS5 ignores that and makes her look like a genetic blonde instagram model.

I wonder why I feel the same. Is it because of how it’s a “clearer” goal and I would know where to start and when to stop?

I got the same insult as a child. I just thought “ah she’s stupid” and moved on and never thought about it until I saw this post

Zed has AI features, but there’s a config flag that disables all of them in one go. They also have collaboration features that you might want to disable as well… Also telemetry.

Isn’t the article from 2 years ago? I remember the ad itself being really old

But then how can a company founder pass on accountability?

It’s a bit weird in Islam. So some important context first.

Basically all of Islam’s rules/laws and stories come from two sources: the Quran and Hadith. You probably already know of the Quran but it’s what they believe to be God’s words verbatim. Hadith, on the other hand, is basically everything the prophet said or did, as recorded by different people.

The Quran was compiled almost immediately after Muhammed died. But Hadith was compiled 2 centuries after that.

To get to the more positive conclusions, you would need to deny a very specific Hadith narrated by Aisha herself. But we only know that she said that because her nephew said so to his students, who then said so to others… So it’s a matter of the verifiability of that chain of trust. But if you believe that Hadith to be false, it would cast doubt on the rest of Hadith and people are not a fan of that idea.

So instead, most Muslims just accept that he’s a pedophile but get offended when you call him a pedophile.

I can shed some light as an ex-Muslim. There are a bunch of common, disgusting excuses: “times were different”, “girls used to mature faster”, “it was common back then”.

There’re more interesting possibilities though. It’s true that it was a political marriage that was basically forced onto Muhammed. But an extension of that reasoning is that the consummation never happened either.

It’s been a while since I looked at this stuff but I remember that there’s actually also a surprisingly compelling case against her ages being 6 and 9. But it would still be 13 to 16 IIRC. The historical side of this is pretty interesting (like how hadith was compiled vs the quran), but not really worth discussing here.

Anyway, yeah, like every other religion, just a cult that grew too large. Anything but admitting that they’re wrong.

Nebula sounds great until you use it… At least on Android, it buffers randomly for no reason, doesn’t fallback onto audio-only if your screen is off, crashes, etc… it’s just not very nice to use
