I agree with that!

I disagree. The online advertising industry needs to shrink, and we should probably break up the monopolies.

Look at this chart:

U.S. online advertising revenue from 2000 to 2024

Growth of advertising correlates with enshittification.

Well said and thanks for expanding on the topic. It's great to get more information out there and give others extra perspective.

I find Haskell fascinating too - it really changes your expectations of programming languages!

I'm not interested in arguing. You're welcome to your opinion as well.

Multiple individuals noted the value of diving into non-GUI server administration, and I wanted to share a tool that could be of interest down the road.

The learning curve might be a little high in some regards, but you may want to try NixOS. There are quite a few services ready to enable and customize for self-hosting, and the design makes updating packages fairly simple.

To be clear, NixOS is not a "simple" solution, but it does work well for self hosting.

I've used several over the years, but right now I'm enjoying Hyprland. UWSM is also working well for session management.

Interesting. I wonder if model distillation affected censoring in R1.

[–] banshee@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

I think we might be talking about separate things. I tested with this 32B distilled model using llama-cpp.

Just to clarify - DeepSeek censors its hosted service. Self-hosted models aren't affected.

Not sure this makes sense. I think the window shifts right as people continue to vote right.

From the Wikipedia article about the Overton window:

The most common misconception is that lawmakers themselves are in the business of shifting the Overton window. That is absolutely false. Lawmakers are actually in the business of detecting where the window is, and then moving to be in accordance with it.

I currently use Gnome on my laptop, but I've toyed with returning to KDE for a while. I used KDE briefly back in the v3 and v4 days felt like it was a bit bloated compared to Gnome v1 and v2. Cinnamon is nice but a bit heavyweight on graphics. I should probably return to XFCE or Mate.
