Charlie who now?
Only reason people thought about him for longer than 1 second was because people like Trump propagandized him. No school shooting victim gets this much recognition despite far more lives being lost.
One crazy dude shot him, and all of a sudden the "violent left" wants to kill every single conservative despite the majority of shootings being committed by the right.
We can only hope that they don't bury him in a zombie graveyard, rebuild him as Charlie Klank, etc.

Reddit's Ban Evasion Detection Is Fucking Orwellian
Reply in thread
True. And we need to stop bullshit like this.
Imagine if in the future, a company like Tencent managed to buy all the big social medias, or even if all the big social medias teamed up to ban stuff that goes against an agenda.
The future equivalents (or maybe the same as the ones we have now) of Reddit, Instagram, Facebook, Discord, Youtube, Google, etc. could share their moderation tactics and ban anyone that speaks badly about whatever agenda they have.
Then, the Orwellian tech giants could use lightweight AI to detect evasion like I experienced on Reddit. No matter what, where, or how, they would ALWAYS be able to link a user to a banned user within hours or days no matter how little IP or fingerprint similarities they were JUST BY USAGE PATTERNS.
This is fucking creepy and insane. The future we are heading towards does not look bright when it comes to surveillance.
Although I'm reluctant to use Lemmy because of its tiny (but not nonexistent) size, I do think I will create some small communities similar to the ones on Reddit that I miss even if I'm the only one there.

Debating the right to exist
In 100 years people are gonna look back on these 'phobes in the same way that we look back at slave owners... ignoring the fact that a lot of the 'phobes would probably be okay with modern slaves anyways.

RIP Discord: Self-Hosted Discord Alternatives Tested (TeamSpeak, Stoat, Fluxer, Matrix, & More)
Good. Discord just sucks as an app and as a company.

Gabe Newell caps off Steam Machine week by taking delivery of a new $500 million superyacht with a submarine garage, on-board hospital and 15 gaming PCs
High chance if he decided to take home "just" $10 million per year, he could pay every single one of the Valve employees at least 100k more every year.
That or they could take less than 30% from developer profits.

You're right, I definitely have a serious addiction and I am realizing it more now. This post definitely reads like I've been separated from cocaine, lmao.
It's probably my limited social life combined with the endless scrolling. The fucking reddit notifications from posts and comments sorta filled that void, it's super sad ik.
Breaking the addiction will be a hard adjustment and it's not easy, but I hope I will get over it and I know you're right.
But the ban is also shitty outside of the context of my general usage addiction though even though that's obviously the main factor. Asking general questions about random shit has helped me solve so many problems.

I thought it was more like 10-20GB to start out with a usable (but somewhat stupid) model.
Are you confusing the size of the dataset with the size of the model?

MacBooks are pretty practical. ARM laptops like MacBooks have genuinely ridiculously good battery life; I was genuinely shocked the first time I used one.
Yes, ARM windows exists, but it's clunky and has little support because unlike MacBooks, not all Windows laptops run ARM, so developers have little incentive to make ARM Windows versions their apps.
