Maybe he’s a fan of the game Observer - the idea of uploading consciousness is part of the plot

Technology@lemmy.world•UK fines Reddit $19 million for using children’s data unlawfullyEnglish
101·19 hours agoWell yes, the more CSAM detection and predator hunting, the better. Task forces and, dare I say it, detection programs with algorithms that may or may not include AI learning, are invaluable to eliminating the actually terrible stuff, anything that can’t even be educational.
I believe the Online Safety Act and Chat Control’s sections that tie every user’s real identity to their online actions is not a solution, because when that data gets leaked and/or abused many innocent lives are in danger. I trust the state very little. I trust unidentified malicious hackers even less.

1343·1 day agoAs much as I hate Reddit this is just continuation of the UK government steamrolling and destroying the free Internet, ruining the adult experience.
One of the wonders of the Internet was that it was wildly unregulated - if you wanted it and you could disable safesearch you could get it, with the caveat of ISP-enforced content locks on all mobile data subscriptions under the name of a legal child (under 18), workplace and school security and filters, unremovable Safesearch on most search engines etc. Broadband required an adult, who in turn could activate parental controls. I couldnt wait until I turned 18 so I could finally access many sites for porn, news, gaming, forums and anything containing keywords without being blocked. I had a list of proxies for bypassing school filters.
In short there is significant existing protection in place and we know that this is simply more evidence of Orwellian enforcement.
It’s Meatcanyon’s creation, probably from here. He specialises in deeply disturbing caricatures lol

4·4 days agoI don’t think there’s a straightforward way like a HACS integration yet, but you can access Ollama from the web with open-webui and save the page to your homepage:

Just be warned, you’ll need a lot of resources depending on which model you choose and its parameter count (4B, 7B etc) – Gemma3 4B uses around 3GB storage, 0.5GB RAM and 4GB of VRAM to respond. It’s a compromise as I can’t get replacement RAM, and tends to be wildly inaccurate with large responses. The one I’d rather use, Dolphin-Mixtral 22B, takes 80GB storage and 17GB min RAM, the latter of which I can’t afford to take from my other services.

Games@lemmy.world•What do you guys think of Crimson Desert?English
2·5 days agoI agree - some games are alluring for their unique style, some for recognisability and comfort. Plus, normally I don’t like too much of a departure from realistic physics in favour of fun factor, like being a damage sponge or tilting and boosting a horse in a different direction, but as a whole this definitely looks great to play. Even has breakable structures that crush enemies, it reminds me of ‘Pursuit Breakers’ in Need for Speed Most Wanted

Technology@lemmy.world•If you had any doubts that Know-Your-Customer laws were evil, here is one very good reason: personal data of 1 BILLION people just leaked.English
15·5 days agoThis happens every now and then, new or old data, several accounts, sometimes billions. Far too frequently.

Technology@lemmy.world•Firefox is ending support for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1; Mozilla recommend switching to Linux, for people who can't run Windows 10 or 11English
3·6 days agoI agree. Last I checked you can actually get a copy of Enterprise LTSC for free (I think it involved pulling from M$ archives, maybe archive.org), and it comes with M$ Office for Business, aka individual apps, pre 365 trash. You won’t get the latest malware or OTA bug pushes, or even the latest in forced advertising widgets or AI creativity replacements. Wouldn’t hurt to put it through Win11Debloat and O&OShutUp10

If any flex is weirder than claiming that all lives deserve the same opportunities despite systemic racism affecting every aspect of the global majority and making said equity impossible at this current moment, it’s claiming that all lives don’t deserve the same opportunities and preferring a reversal of prejudice rather than the removal of it.
