@karolherbst @VarLad And I'd argue that saying "getting rid of xyz dictator is against international law!!" is being completely stupid and completely missing the point, especially if said dictator was actually acting against international law anyway

@karolherbst @VarLad I mean, criticism is valid, but accusing leaders of doing the same thing you do is simply being a hypocrite. (sadly I see that a lot these days, not just iran but many others too)

⚠️ Update: remains in the midst of a national internet blackout in its third week at hour 348 with only a slight rise in overall connectivity and tunneled users. There are indications of an attempt to generate false traffic and manufacture narratives of a wider restoration.

@VarLad @karolherbst don't really like tankies and any derivative TBH..

And besides, Iran being against US/israel does not make them the best country ever either (saying this as a pro-palestinian person who hates genocide and war in general)

(though I will note that the reason why iran is now under totalitarian regime is partly because of the US and GB wanting iranian oil and causing instability in what was back then much more democratic than it is today, and that was the perfect time for some ill-intentioned totalitarians to coup and setup such a regime, who are now the "Iran leaders" we know today. Half-ironic they don't like the US tbh :p)

The world is so messed up it's hard to ignore

Lol, even the open source LLM projects are banning vibe coded contributions: https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/AGENTS.md

They had previously had a policy of "all AI assisted contributions need to be human reviewed before submitting them", but got too many people breaking that rule and submitting fully vibe coded contributions, and even trying to use their chatbots to answer questions about the PRs, so are now actively using the AGENTS.md file to instruct the chatbots to not write code for them and warn them about the policy.

@karolherbst I suppose 'competition' is not the correct word for what I meant to explain.

@swags @vermaden Maybe maintain that freebsd code instead of complaining? Maybe come up with better solutions to problems?

Ugh.

@karolherbst The opening of Embedded Recipes (2024?) mentioned "coopetition" while showing logos of a whole bunch of their sponsors.

I think *healthy* 'coopetition' is good, because then you have more options for which projects you choose to use rather than just one unique project. Healthy means that they all cooperate in a way, but still kind of gently compete with each other (not the kind of thing where one says "oh this project is garbage mine is much better!!", but just existing alongside, with different feature sets and such, and users get to pick what they want without one saying "oh this project is garbage you should pick this other project instead")

I'd love to see this kind of thing more

@karolherbst @alatiera I mean, as long as it's understandable, no need to complain?

If it really annoys you you can gently point out spelling mistakes in some private message or whatever.

If you develop for please make offline installation possible, for people in countries with restricted internet. Came back home last night and today I want to install Luminance HDR but their only option for linux is via the terminal, and yet, while I can access full internet on my phone using a VPN, I can't access any on my laptop/workstations, so I can't install this program, unless I use Wine. I'm in They cut off internet during elections and it has now been partially restored.

@karolherbst the thing is they're not even alone, this game of "they're not nazi this is just a roman salute" also happens with many other nazi figures.

Is it that hard to just call them for what they are?

I do wonder if there are anybody actually using GPU compute, be it AI/ML or "old-fashioned", for accessibility purposes?

I played around with some tools doing speech-to-text, but what I'm trying to figure out is, if "make sure rusticl/OpenCL works everywhere" if that actually also helps folks with disabilities.

And I'd happily focus my testing on making sure those things do work everywhere.
