I agree with your first point and I really dislike the amount of misinformation flowing around on both sides, but spending even a little time online will show that is just humans being humans on any topic.

Since any other reference probably wouldn't work here, have one from one of those holistic medicine places

I’m not sure if I’m reading it right, but are you saying that people here, so vegans, don’t trust normal scientific evidence and are only here to reinforce their beliefs by excluding proper evidence? That sounds kind of patronising and implies people are only vegan because of their biased world view instead of proper ethics and science.

[…] to promote a hobby.

This also sounds dismissive of veganism and rude towards people that try their best to reduce harm in a part of their life. Vegans do it because they see it as necessary to live ethically consistent. This is not something done for ✨fun✨.

I would recommend leaving these unnecessary remarks out of your comments if you want to address misinformation such as in this post more effectively while also coming off more respectful.

OpenStreetMap as a HappyCow alternative

There is an existing OSM based map https://veggiekarte.de/ that also has filtering options. The biggest issue is that OSM doesn’t have much detail on POIs and they’re often out of date. Even in Western Europe where most other stuff is up to date. Mostly because POIs require on the ground surveys which only a handful of contributors can do in more than one region.

So, please consider contributing to OSM using simple apps like StreetComplete or EveryDoor if you have some spare time.

‘It’s such poor quality software’: GOG owner criticises Windows, says it will support Linux better in the future | VGC

I can only speak for the Heroic launcher but this has been my experience:

  • One click play button like Steam, but it’s easier to configure Linux-specific settings in the menu.
  • Updates are done automatically or can be forced like Steam.
  • Cloud saves are available, but need to be done manually from the game settings menu with the risk of user error.
  • There is a friends list and chat, but the games I played had their own in-game friends list.
  • Unfortunately, no achievements from what I’ve seen.
  • No DRM, so you truly own the game. (as far as it’s possible to own something digital.)
  • Linux game support seems to not be any worse than Steam
  • Built-in Wine/Proton version installer.

I’m not defending the meme at all. I agreed with the point immediately in the first sentence. I just interpreted the tone of some remarks to be a bit condescending and gave a recommendation based on my opinion on that. Do with it what you want. I’m not here to force any view onto you.

As long as the moderation follows their rules, and it is always as transparent as shown in this example, I don’t see an issue with this.

My only concern is that LLMs are very good at recognising biases in questions and are more likely to confirm them than push back. So the LLM might pay too much attention to small/possible infringements. But this depends heavily on the model, the prompt, and the reader.

I agree with the suggestion of the other commenters, just wanted to add that I personally run llama.cpp directly with the build in llama-server. For a single-user server this seems to work great and is almost always at the forefront of model support.

I’m really not fond of the profiling by automated means, but it seems like an inevitable consequence of the design of the threadiverse. Everything is public and easily accessible by anyone that would like to profile you.

I certainly disapprove of moderation based on ideology. Moderation should be based on quality of the content and if it fits in the publicly readable rules. Definitely not some hidden analytics or if the user completely fits in the in-group of the moderator.

I will admit that this might be a good way to find and filter out LLM based bots that are only there to promote or manipulate the conversation. But it should still be done according to public rules.

I’m running it with the UD_Q4_K_XL quant on 24GB VRAM 7900XTX at ~120-130* token/s. Since it’s an MOE model, CPU inference with 32 GB ram should be doable, but I won’t make any promises on speed.

*Edit: I had a configuration issue on my llama.cpp that reduced the performance. It was limited to 85 tk/s but that was user error on my part.
