Obsidian + private GitHub repo hosting

Excellent source. Thank you

I’ve got a friend from Shenzhen who thinks Xi is the worst thing since Mao. If I said that to a lemmy.ml user I’d be banned from the instance.

Hell, I got suspended for 4 days (and trolled to fuck) when I suggested someone was a tankie (literally a communist who believes in using tanks to kill people).

Silly thing is I’m a fucking socialist! I believe in all the key tenets of socialism. But heaven forbid you criticise DPRK or China. They’ll chew you apart.

There’s plenty of fucking countries where from socialism has worked and there’s plenty where some level of socialism currently works.

I mentioned the Nordic Model and instead of them agreeing it was a good step they spent their time ‘educating’ me on how it’s not true socialism and it’s just as bad as the US.

Fucking boggles the mind. They genuinely seem to think Stalin was a saint and Kim is a benevolent, democratically elected leader. If anyone thinks otherwise it’s due to Western propaganda.

I know people living in China - they ain’t fucking happy!

It depends on the website hosting location. TOS, users location and relevant international copyright treaties.

It’s not a one-size-fits-all.

As a UK citizen I can’t claim my (US) first amendment right to call you a “cunt”.

It’s against the website TOS and I’m not American.

Putting a license at the bottom clears any ambiguity.

Funnily enough you’re only highlighting your own “Zoomer” naivety of law by making your “Boomer” comment.

Sounds like the average lemmy.ml user. Very quick to criticise the west. Completely ‘objective’ when discussing China.

That’s not how public domain works.

Private Eye is so fucking depressing. They say they put the funny stuff in the second half to offset the corruption and scandals in the first half but I can rarely get through one page before I have to put it down.

Is that Zuckerberg?

That was the smart gremlin. Creased me up as a kid. The first film scared the shit out of me. This film made it all funny and he was one of the best bits!

Since when am I defending loli? This is precisely what I’m talking about. I don’t understand the visceral need to HATE and RAGE at everything?

It could be about antisemities, Indians, pork scratchings, I don’t give a fuck. I don’t get why people feel the need to jump to conclusions (like you!) and label people things that they aren’t.

Turns out the guy didn’t even have any fucking loli according to another comment!

The Brass Eye Paedogeddon episode was taking the piss out of people like YOU.

So you’ve not only labelled ME and this Vaush guy something we’re not but you’ve got angry, shouted hurtful comments and been a complete cock all for what? What have you achieved?

Do you feel better?

We need more Loki memes!

Nigel Mansel and Fergie

I only heard about horse porn. I remember pausing it briefly and everything I saw seemed vanilla. Just anime women.

I dunno the obsession with labelling everyone a nonce and pervert. It’s like perverts are one of the last groups people feel justified in hating. So people have started labelling non-perverts just so they can direct more hate.

I guess, I just don’t see why people are so addicted to hatred, rage and anger.

I know where you’re coming form but I’ve always thought this about government spying: I’m more worried about my own government’s spying than a foreign government because my own government is very capable of fucking my life over but what can the CCP do to me? Nothing! Think about it! When you use a VPN you choose a foreign country. But remember if it’s part of 5-eyes you’re fucked cos your browsing logs can be grabbed by an ally and fed to your country. Choose a VPN that ends in Russia or a non-allied country - what the fuck can they do?

Snowden already showed that the UK spies for the Yaks and the Yanks spy for the UK cos the 2 countries laws hinder spying on their own. But who wouldn’t spy for the Brits? The Chinese, for example. Or Russians. Which is why I’d feel safer with Russian or Chinese email servers for example.

There’s a slim but definite possibility that if you use a Dutch VPN for piracy that the alliance between the UK and Dutch could mean you’re caught. Less so with a less-allied country.

Xi Jinping doesn’t give 2 shits about my life or what I pirate. I don’t care if my soul is sold to Chinese data brokers- doesn’t affect me!! And the chances of the Chinese giving that piracy/anythng data over to the Brits? ZERO!

Donkey semen.

But i also don’t know what all you mean when you say censorship.

It was literally just that. The commentor I saw said something like "it’s censored after ver 1 so don’t expect it to tell you how to cook meth.

But when I hear the word “censored” I think of all the stuff ChatGPT refuses to talk about. It won’t write jokes about protected groups and VAST swathes of stuff around it. Like asking it to define “fag-got” can make it cough and refuse even though it’s a British food-stuff.

Blocking anything sexual - so no romantic/erotica novel writing.

The latest complaint about ChatGPT is it’s laziness which I can’t help feeling is due to over-zealous censorship. Censorship doesn’t just block the specific things but entirely innocent things (see fag-got above).

Want help writing a book about Hilter beoing seduced by a Jewish woman and BDSM scenes? No chance. No talking about Hitler, sex, Jewish people or BDSM. That’s censorship.

I’m using these as examples - I’ve no real interest in these but I am affected by annoyances and having to reword requests because they’ve been mis-interpreted as touching on censored subjects.

Just take a look at r/ChatGPT and you’ll see endless posts by people complaining they triggered it’s censorship over asinine prompts.

Aren’t the open source LLMs still censored though? I read someone make an off-hand comment that one of the big ones (OLLAMA or something?) was censored past version 1 so you couldn’t ask it to tell you how to make meth?

I don’t wanna make meth but if OSS LLMs are being censored already it makes having a local one pretty fucking pointless, no? You may as well just use ChatGPT. Pray tell me your thoughts?

Such a sweet pussy.

the UK has similar

Our idiots are idiots - they aren’t insane idiots. MAGAts can only happen in a country without universal mental health care.

Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit!
