ich glaube, der hauptdenkfehler beim nachdenken über generative ki, bei den nerds meiner generation, ist zu glauben, dass die systeme noch "besser" werden.

"jaaahaa, jetzt ist das noch buggy as hell, aber in ein paar jahren …"

wir haben diesen approach an unserer erfahrung mit software eingeübt und da hat das meist hingehauen.

aber ki ist anders: die unzuverlässigkeit ist nicht eine noch zu lösende unperfektion, sondern immanent systemische eigenschaft der modelle. das wird nicht besser.

@Jeanniewarner @rrb Yeah, have you ever read those interviews with CEO's that beg the question, 'what does your day consist of?'
It's always like, "I get up at 7:00, hit the gym, have a light breakfast, then I get a few calls out of the way. After walking the dogs and a few laps in the pool, I head to work on my eBike at 11:00."
It's like they have this rock star rider tour contract. "Coffee & Bagel truck on Wednesday's must park next to the tennis courts."

Wow, Major Russia announcement from Julian Assange News

The storm has arrived. Putin has demanded the extradition of Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci for crimes against humanity—and he's not bluffing. Russia now holds irrefutable intelligence proving COVID-19 was engineered as a weapon, not a mistake. The world is at a crossroads: hand over the monsters who unleashed death and control, or watch the whole house of cards collapse.

THE IMMORTAL SURVIVOR: WEST AFRICAN LUNGFISH
The West African lungfish isn’t just a fish—it’s a biological marvel of endurance.
Survives up to 3 YEARS without food or water
When rivers dry up, it burrows into mud
Forms a protective mucus cocoon around its body
Uses its lungs to breathe air, patiently waiting for rain
This ancient fish can pause life itself until conditions return.
It's one of nature’s most extreme survivalists, defying drought, time, and hunger.
A living fossil with a survival strategy millions of years old.

@Mamako varish users do usually mark posts sensitive but they have emojis and profile pics that can't be marked sensitive. I've requested @Wiz to mark detroitcity.com as sensitive cuz that's the epitomy of depravity without censorship.

my question with the above post wasn't about that though, rather i was asking if there's a fediverse client that lets you hide sensitive posts (that are actually marked sensitive) from your feed, so they don't clog it up.

example of how it looks like on a browser. 3 whole posts in a row are sensitive but muted so they don't take up too much space.

#EA has confirmed that #Battlefield 6 will be completely unplayable on #Linux systems, including #SteamDeck, due to its new kernel-level anti-cheat system, “EA Javelin,” which explicitly blocks Linux. This move is a slap in the face to the growing #Linuxgaming community, especially considering how far compatibility has come with #Proton and #SteamOS.

Worse yet, EA is using open-source tech like the #GodotEngine in parts of the game, while denying access to the very platforms that champion #opensource. It’s hypocritical and #anticonsumer.

There’s no option to disable #anticheat for #singleplayer or #privateservers, meaning users who value #privacy or #freedom of platform are locked out entirely.

It's a hostile decision rooted in control, not security.

I'm confused. No one is forcing anybody to buy #Battlefield6 or to play it. I mean, I'd love nothing more than to run #Zbrush or #MarvelousDesigner on my #Linux workstation but neither of those applications support Linux. I've told #Maxon and #Clo3D that I would appreciate a native Linux version but until they release one I'm left using my SurfacePro running Windows. I do spend much more time in #Blender3D though and use #Blender for most of my finishing work so all's not lost. Don't buy #Battlefield if you don't like the fact that it won't play on Linux. Simple. ---

The point of our current government, of course, is to enable extremists.

"The Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships, a program housed within DHS designed to prevent domestic violent extremism within the US, has lost 20% of its staff since the beginning of the year. It is currently being led by a 22-year-old former intern from the Heritage Foundation"

Also FEMA is part of DHS, and DHS is a kidnapping & trafficking cartel led by a pathological liar.

Vis Georges Unia :

Saviez-vous que la fille de Martin #Bouygues, Chloé Bouygues s'est mariée au fils de Vincent #Bolloré, Yannick Bolloré, et vivent villa Montmorency, en face de l'ancienne demeure de Xavier #Niel, beau-fils de Bernard #Arnault, qui vit dans l'hôtel particulier qu'il a racheté à Jean-Luc #Lagardère, dont le fils Arnaud Lagardère vit lui aussi Villa Montmorency, à quelques pas de l'hôtel particulier de Nicolas #Sarkozy et Carla Bruni, dont Bernard Arnault et Martin Bouygues furent les témoins de mariage, qui qualifie Arnaud Lagardère de "frère", et dont tout le monde se souvient de l'escapade sur le yatch de Vincent Bolloré au lendemain de sa victoire à la présidentielle de 2007 (173 000 euros la semaine offerts gratuitement, transbordé via son Falcon 900, à 6000 euros l'heure de vol) ?

Saviez-vous que l'institut de sondage ' #OpinionWay' appartient à Bernard Arnault, qui contrôle aussi 'Le Parisien', 'Les Echos', 'Radio Classique', 'l'Opinion', 'Paris match', 'Challenges'...) et évidemment 'LVMH', la principale source de revenus des médias français) ;

Que l'institut de #sondage CSA appartient à Vincent Bolloré (comme Canal +, CNEWS, Le JDD, Europe 1, Capital, Voici, Gala... et l'agence de communication HAVAS) qui avait racheté les médias Lagardère avec Bernard Arnault ;

Que son beau-fils Xavier Niel lui s'est contenté de racheter 'Le Monde', 'Telerama', 'Le Monde Diplomatique', 'l'Obs', 'Courrier international', 'Nice Matin', 'Corse Matin', 'France Antilles' et une vingtaine d'autres médias ; qu'il a pris des participations dans 'Atlantico', 'Brut', 'Les Jours', 'Mediapart', 'Backchich', 'l'Informé', le média d'Hugo Clément et des dizaines d'autres ; qu'il a racheté Lagardère Studios et est actionnaire de 'Mediawan', qui produit 'C à vous', 'Quelle époque', mais aussi des émissions de "divertissement" qui permettent d'influencer, de 'The Voice' à 'Hot Ones' en passant par 'Top Chef'.

Que tous ne cessent d'acheter et de revendre des gens, Xavier Niel étant désormais l'employeur et propriétaire de l'entreprise de la trafiquante multicondamnée Mimi Marchand ; Bolloré et Arnault les maîtres de Stéphane Courbit, producteur de la quasi-totalité des émissions de téléréalité et d' #Hanounah, etc.

Et saviez-vous que ces gens sont ceux qui se sont assurés de l'élection Emmanuel #Macron, quand tous leurs candidats, de M. Sarkozy à M. Fillon, tombaient ?
Merci à @anatolium, où qu'il soit, de l'avoir raconté et révélé. Et d'avoir pris le risque de nous le partager.

Niri and max-scroll-amount help

Hi, I just moved to Niri. I turned on focus-follows-mouse on and turned max-scroll-amount to 100% in the config file. When I try to move to the next window by putting my cursor to the edge of the screen when the next window is a QT app, it doesn't work. Other apps work fine though, just QT ones. Could anyone help me? I tried searching this issue up but I couldn't find any info.

BOOM! THE GREAT RECLAMATION: SUPREME COURT UNLEASHES TRUMP TO PURGE THE DEEP STATE

The Supreme Court just handed Trump the nuclear key: the authority to fire entrenched Deep State agents embedded across federal agencies. For the first time in 90 years, the President can dismantle the bureaucratic dictatorship that’s hijacked our Republic.

FOR 90 YEARS, THE PRESIDENCY WAS A PRISON
Since 1935, unelected operatives hid inside “independent” agencies like the FTC, SEC, and CPSC. These ideological soldiers wrote regulations like laws. Enforced them like tyrants. And they couldn’t be fired—not even by the President.

Until now.

THE COURT SWINGS THE HAMMER – TRUMP TAKES THE SWORD
In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court confirmed President Trump’s power to remove Mary Boyle, Richard Trumka Jr., and Alexander Hoehn-Saric from the CPSC—shattering the legal shield created by the New Deal’s corrupt legacy.

This isn't just a ruling. It’s a strike against the Deep State’s fortress. It cracks the entire foundation of Humphrey’s Executor—the case that let federal commissioners rule without accountability.

TRUMP CAN NOW:
• Purge federal agencies of leftist loyalists
• Terminate obstructive commissioners
• Seize control of energy, labor, commerce, and finance
• Reclaim the executive power STOLEN from We The People

The CPSC falls first. But 700 other Deep State seats could collapse next.

THE SILENT COUP IS BEING REVERSED
For decades, elections didn’t matter. Permanent bureaucrats ran the country. Same agenda, same handlers, different puppet Presidents.

Now, that loop is broken. The regime’s firewall is burning. And they know it.

TRUMP’S WAR POWER IS RESTORED
In 2016, Trump was surrounded. Saboteurs on every side. He couldn’t remove them. He couldn’t override them. That was the trap.

Now, that trap is gone.

This ruling unleashes him to:
• Clean house
• Burn shadow governance to the ground
• Rebuild an executive branch LOYAL TO THE PEOPLE

This isn’t just a legal technicality. It’s the beginning of a federal exorcism.

THE DEEP STATE IS CORNERED – AND TRUMP HOLDS THE AXE

No more “independence.” No more untouchables. No more invisible rulers with unearned power.

The Great Reclamation has begun.
And this time—they can’t stop him.
