LLMs can’t deal with highly reflective languages at the moment. In English or Chinese you can assign tokens to entire words without having to account for word morphology (which is also why models fail at counting letters in words) but it falls apart quickly in Polish or Russian. The way models like ChatGPT work now is that they do their „reasoning” in English first and translate back to the query language at the end.

Saudi Arabia has plenty of soft and hard power too. Possibly more so than UK. I think we’re getting overly dramatic. UK doesn’t have enough pull to start extraditing thousands of people for not complying with their weirdo laws.

How would that even work in another country? Wouldn’t Saudi Arabia pressure hosts for breaking blasphemy laws?

I’m confused, why are non-UK instances banning UK users? Are their admins located in the UK? Is anyone afraid of being extradited to UK because of their local laws? Do you block Saudi Arabia too because you can’t guarantee blasphemy laws are going to be upholded?

From Nintendo’s point of view hacked device is a hacked device. Whether you use it to pirate or hack in multiplayer, they don’t really care, you’re not supposed to do either and they take that device off their network. I usually pay for games because second hand market exists but I also won’t condemn piracy because some can’t afford even that. It’s the expectation that a company like Nintendo has to take it under the guise of consumer protection that I find funny, bad political takes too.

You can still play your Switch games online after getting banned using LDN bridges. The best way to avoid getting banned from a Nintendo service is not to hack your device.

Say you get VAC banned, your entire library can’t play VAC multiplayer games. If you hacked in Splatoon you buy a new Switch but your library is retained.

They are denying you access to the service rather than your hardware. I prefer how Nintendo goes about it (locking hacked device) compared to Valve or Sony where your entire game library gets locked. As someone with a banned Switch I think that’s fair, I can pirate things on it anyway. Nobody said piracy has to be easy and I enjoy a bit of cat and mouse.

There’s hardware related info you can get through browser, see https://www.amiunique.org/fingerprint for a demo.

Virtual machines with ever changing hardware config and user agent string connecting through VPN.

I didn’t have to scroll that far lol

reminder: these fascists assholes are not human. they give up all humanity when they actively choose to become or remain within this trump nazi cult. so when we say “nazis are not human” we are not dehumanizing them; they did it to themselves. these fuckwits need prison. all of them.

Get educated on how nazis dehumanised people so that it would make violence possible later before you go around calling people nazis. For a nazi hunter you seem to know little about nazism, or pretend not to because you’re just out for revenge.

If you’re advocating violence against people you arbitrarily deem nazis it doesn’t make you a good guy and you’re likely breaking plenty of laws regardless of jurisdiction. I’m seeing liberals advocating violence against people voting for Trump, that’s pretty dehumanising.

His/her story wasn’t really plausible because if it was true parents would be the first to suggest and then do it.

Sell that iPhone and make enough so that your dad doesn’t have to work for the next couple of years.

Fediverse does everything I require out of social media. Functionality of threadiverse is mostly there and getting better (Piefed will probably replace Lemmy as the go-to eventually), apps are better. Mastodon / microblogging was always good enough for communicating with real people, it’s when you’re an influencer you run into limitations but who cares about that. Maybe there aren’t that many people that are into this and that’s okay because we’re not a corporation that needs to report quarterly growth forever.

I use an iPhone and a Mac but I assume Android as a more open platform has even more of those.

Like those?

I’ve only ever used a single huge public tracker for manga and anime and it’s still there. I assume there are more but I never bothered to look.

Why would manga piracy ever get hard, unless they stopped printing it on paper?
