Because there is no propaganda in the West.

Based answer and the only good one in this thread.

They were clearly referring to the arguments provided in the article.

It does. The simplest way to use Proton with other games is to add each as a non-Steam game to… Steam. But there are also CLIs for it.

Another win for piracy community

Sharing users’ data with China means storing Chinese users’ data in local servers that can be accessed by local authorities (as any servers, really). It doesn’t mean it would have sent data from, say, French users to Chinese servers. Another sensationalist bs article.

Beautiful post. I am already foreseeing linking to it in a heated discussion, this is rock solid.

That’s a good guess. I reported a few bigots and now my feed is mostly normal, which is much better.

Never believe random quotes you see on the Internet

• Vladimir Illich Lenin, 1922.

They should stop trying to do everything at once. This whole game of trying to maintain a huge server is nonsense for such a small team. I believe they should drop it completely and focus on improving the protocol and technologies around it to make it smoother for people to host their own servers.

It depends. In some cases it is better to keep your head cool to make more weighed decisions

There’s a lot of literature on the work of Soviet partisans. Some survival guides from three letter agencies of different countries were leaked. I’d “arm” myself with those (and actually arm myself with real guns if I will have access to them) and move to the forest. Forests and mountains are an excellent terrain type to go into hiding with both cover and natural resources to keep you going

It’s a code forge like Github or Gitlab. It uses open source technology on its backend and is often used by FOSS/privacy-minded projects.

Ah, I see :( Poor hamster…

I had to google what a sunroom is and I still don’t get what did it die from

Instead of drag and dropping you can open your HTML+CSS files and copypaste their contents.

This is exactly what you are looking for. You don’t even need to download anything.

Looking at the system journal using journalctl is always a good start. Move to the page, which shows events around the time the described incident happened and try to see if there’s anything worth of your attention, likely highlighted as a warning (yellow) or an error (red).

Your initial wording made me mistakingly think that your point was in showing that AI made creations worse but before, when humans made it themselves.

Now that I see your real point, I still cannot agree. Your arguing has a false premise of thinking that everyone wants genuine human expression everywhere and eye candy images are no longer enough. Yet proofs of that not being the case are right before your eyes - look at the amount of upvotes on this post. The ones posting comments like

I’d rather see a crayon picture than AI slop.

are a vocal minority. Most people see the good enough image generated by AI and pass on. They never bother to zoom in and look for the artifacts that it has. Most don’t have the time to look for the ChatGPT wording, they read the post diagonally for 10 seconds and move on with their life.

The argument has its roots in the problem of our different social surroundings. Maybe your life is full of people who have the time and energy to enjoy art that is not just looking decent but has a meaning, a message to it. Mine has a lot of people who are overworked and undereducated to play the game of being culturally superior, to look for humane expressions.

Sometimes, technologically decent is enough. For some people, a simple eye candy that your view for a short period of time is enough to improve their mood during a break. It does not erase the point of high art. It does not threaten it. Thus, I find people that come barking at every AI-generated piece of imagery or text or whatever, claiming that posting this is stealing from others, that such posts serve zero purpose, that it’s better to be shown something poorly drawn with crayon, ridiculous and pitiful.
