haha. I hope they will. I hope that this “inspires” companies to produce more locally again. Pretty please?

I wonder what that means for google operating in russia. Since the demanded sum is so large, do they get their assets seized, like for example authorities sacking google phones? Or does this have absolutely no consequences?

for the record, that is $10,779,224,060,605,347,000,000,000,000,000,000 (american) dollars

Tor if you dont want your fediverse server + ISP to know who you are on the fediverse. Other than that, fediverse people are not likely to use google trackers, so you should be safe without having to make new accounts constantly. Noscript for all other websites, gets rid of trackers very effectively, but a bit annoying because you have to whitelist the javascript you need.

Theres also zulip, but I havent tried it yet, but its supposedly open source discord, but you have to host the server yourself I think.

Yes, go on, let NVIDIA buy intel. Let them buy AMD too. What could go wrong. I love monopolies! /s

…Recent laws in Japan have criminalized console and game modding, as well as save file editing…

WHAT? why?..what???

Yeah, it definitly tells me something, namely that I should not use the tool.

Why would news publish articles about the code quality of the tool, instead of its functionality?

Now they have negative press about its closed source nature, which is a calculated risk they took, just to open source it soon anyway? I doubt it.

but… you dont have to accept contributions? you can just make it open source and tidy it up at the same time?

then why make it closed source to begin with?

sounds great! I hope this gets some traction, because the official wayland protocols are so dead slow that its not even funny anymore. for example the wayland hdr protocol, open for 4 years now: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/14

what is up with wayland standards taking so long to finalise? They have been chewing on HDR for over 4 years now…

They are not. Your server admin and the admins of the server you send the message to could read the message, because its not encrypted.

well, isnt that just Xwayland?

Wow, sounds great. Maybe we do get private DMs in the fediverse, finally!

yes, mine are similar. I used to run kde plasma while generating but plasma took too much vram, so now im using icewm. I noticed that the crashes happen when something needed vram when its already all used, so thats why icewm reduces crashes, since its very light on resources.

I have run Stable Diffusion models successfully with my ancient Vega 64 with 8 gb vram. However, it does occasionally run out of memory and crash when I run models that want all 8 gigs. I have to run it without a proper DE(openbox, falkon browser with one tab only) if I dont want it to crash frequently.
