I know it's a joke but the fact is Al Qaeda was founded by people whose friends and family were bombed by the US military. There's very little that people, who lost everything to live for in a country kept destitute by attacks from America, can do except keel over or find a way to attack back. The US government creates their nemeses through cruelty, and are ultimately the cause.

Then they somehow convince their people that some gang member in Bahrain poses an actual threat to the lifestyle of their children in fucking rural Wisconsin, and gets them to train up so they can go and murder four gang members and 48 civilians, whose family members become radicalised against America the violent untamed oppressor, and the cycle continues.

And it was appropriated and modified by the Christians (Christianity spread so fast and dominated so much I don't even know how, yes they colonised but how the hell did they assimilate the Romans so easily), but now it's been a consumerist holiday more than a spiritual one for about a century. Many cultures still celebrate it the Christian way, sure, and many just utilise it to buy their loved ones material gifts and get like gifts in return, more than focus on the now largely unnecessary celebration of surviving winter, or having close social connections.

If any flex is weirder than claiming that all lives deserve the same opportunities despite systemic racism affecting every aspect of the global majority and making said equity impossible at this current moment, it's claiming that all lives don't deserve the same opportunities and preferring a reversal of prejudice rather than the removal of it.

Maybe he's a fan of the game Observer - the idea of uploading consciousness is part of the plot

Well yes, the more CSAM detection and predator hunting, the better. Task forces and, dare I say it, detection programs with algorithms that may or may not include AI learning, are invaluable to eliminating the actually terrible stuff, anything that can't even be educational.

I believe the Online Safety Act and Chat Control's sections that tie every user's real identity to their online actions is not a solution, because when that data gets leaked and/or abused many innocent lives are in danger. I trust the state very little. I trust unidentified malicious hackers even less.

As much as I hate Reddit this is just continuation of the UK government steamrolling and destroying the free Internet, ruining the adult experience.

One of the wonders of the Internet was that it was wildly unregulated - if you wanted it and you could disable safesearch you could get it, with the caveat of ISP-enforced content locks on all mobile data subscriptions under the name of a legal child (under 18), workplace and school security and filters, unremovable Safesearch on most search engines etc. Broadband required an adult, who in turn could activate parental controls. I couldnt wait until I turned 18 so I could finally access many sites for porn, news, gaming, forums and anything containing keywords without being blocked. I had a list of proxies for bypassing school filters.

In short there is significant existing protection in place and we know that this is simply more evidence of Orwellian enforcement.

It's Meatcanyon's creation, probably from here. He specialises in deeply disturbing caricatures lol

I use Freesm. Looks like ElyPL is geared for custom skins and externally hosted servers. Both is good I guess.

I own the game, I just don't like relying on server logins to fucking play single player/locally. Freesm lets you have the whole game without a M$ account. Combine that with a self-hosted server in offline mode and I can play multiplayer with an offline profile.

Yes, and their doc pages and personal site of the same name. Here's hoping they don't resurface the same code under a new name

Yeah, when knowledge was the greatest form of wealth. It still is in practice, but it doesn't equate to being able to afford basic living arrangements. In many countries everything is monetised to the point many classes can't progress beyond corporate servitude to earn money.

I don't think there's a straightforward way like a HACS integration yet, but you can access Ollama from the web with open-webui and save the page to your homepage:

Just be warned, you'll need a lot of resources depending on which model you choose and its parameter count (4B, 7B etc) -- Gemma3 4B uses around 3GB storage, 0.5GB RAM and 4GB of VRAM to respond. It's a compromise as I can't get replacement RAM, and tends to be wildly inaccurate with large responses. The one I'd rather use, Dolphin-Mixtral 22B, takes 80GB storage and 17GB min RAM, the latter of which I can't afford to take from my other services.
