For anyone interested: such alternatives are, for example, Fluxer (easier) or I think Stoat (more control as of now).

Since it’s an immoral monopoly it’s up to you to decide if it’s perfectly morally justifiable to just sail the high seas for this.

I think there were other (DRM-free) Indie publishing platforms though… not sure how much they have to offer though.

Great, real dystopian nightmares beyond my comprehension.

Wait, if my brain runs and uses Linux then…

Oh god…

ADHD is a zombie LLM process constantly spitting out vaguely related nonsense, draining your energy and processor cycles for nothing productive.

It all makes sense now.

It’s the classic relativism bullshit fascists, conservatives and emotionally compromised people always concoct to justify not having to think about the consequences of their actions and allegiances.

Not to mention the utter insanity of implying a lack of content that’s repostable in 2026.

If Stonetoss is what comes out of that decision perhaps it’s better for you to keep lurking.

I guess the idea was to get more social media attention this way.

I read the comic, I read the comments, and all I can think is “what the fuck is wrong with humans”.

Meanwhile Fedora‘s (Red Hat) dominance is never even questioned.

Huh? Pretty sure it’s constantly questioned, especially by those who reject systemd. Sometimes that isn’t hate, but well-reasoned (but occasionally badly worded) rejection.

The hate some have for Ubuntu and Omarchy is ridiculous.

Wasn’t Omarchy made by a fash, TERF or some other kind of extremist? Harmony is great and all, but like with tolerance it can’t be absolute.

Ubuntu gets their well-deserved amount of criticism in my eyes since they still haven’t published the damn Snap server source code (afaik). A distro that had such great ideas in the past like including Amazon ads inside the desktop or silently symlinking apt commands to snap have to do a better job to regain community trust, instead they reject efforts like Flatpak or AppImage and build partial closed-source.

I like harmony too, but please don’t attempt to deligitimise well-reasoned criticism.

Funny how there’s only a Canadian flag next to the US Empire one (obviously due to their astronaut being present), completely ignoring the 2 Billion € European Service Module’s existence (ESM, build by ESA in Europe) which literally keeps the astronauts alive.

I guess it’s very easy to take from others, but acknowledging them is too hard. The whole 'MURICA-dicking around in the Artemis 2 stream was vomit-inducing. I can’t put in words how much I hate that regime and their minions by now.

That said, Cuba also has a sufficient amount of skeletons in the closet.

Reminds me of the ad during Artemis 2 launch that literally spoke of “US Exceptionalism” in full honesty. They’re so high up their own arses, of course stuff like this is bound to happen. Reminds me of Russia in 2022, Trump is basically in a US demystification speedrun.

Oh my god, how were those ever a thing

And Trump is gonna pay for it!!!11!1 /s

One more thing I should’ve mentioned: It’s important to make a (free) account if you try it. Although they still offer a chat interface without it, that interface is then connected to one of their very small models and lacks the “Thinking” feature (same as ChatGPT’s “Reflection”). Not very useful in most cases and more of an appetizer.

Certainly interesting. I’d recommend you to take a look at Mistral AI (“Le Chat”), they’re a European company and far more trustworthy in terms of data security and privacy (GDPR and such) than US products. Their models are all available for self-hosting which might provide more flexibility in the future in terms of self-hosting and their web service doesn’t try to aggressively extract every data point from you (although you perhaps circumvent that with the proxy anyway). In my personal experience it’s also more likely than e.g. ChatGPT to admit when it doesn’t know something (or ask for specific data it needs) instead of making shit up, but I don’t have definitive data for that claim.

Of course I don’t know how well it works in Japanese or from Japan, if you try let me know! 🙂

Damn, that’s indeed a really cool solution. I’ll look into this, thanks!

OP is like that guy who’s sneaking into parties over and over again to do the same stupid stunt even though nobody wants that shit, increasingly pissing off people.

You won’t get the same purity. Not because of worse industrial processes, but because with ancient lead any radioactive impurity normally introduced by the ore had enough time to decay.

We simply can’t filter out trace amounts of radioactive material naturally existing in or around the ore as reliable as time can.
