Leaving this mess behind:
Load up deepseek v4.1 flash q2 and you get opus 4.6 Intelligence at home at good speeds. No snitching.
Or, if you don’t mind moving slow, just use your brain ig.
Honestly atp the censorship isn’t even the worst of it. Go to Lemmy.ml, say anything bad against China and see how it goes. Many Lemmy communities are no better.
No the worst of reddit is the fact that it’s a data-mining operation at this point, with age checks and a complete Mishandling of your user data (everything is indexed and easy to search even if you set your profile to private…)
The economic implosion after that particular bubble is going to be spectacular… Dotcom will look like a road bump in comparaison
If you’re conflating UI and UX then I can’t do anything for you :P
What’s the problem? I literally just shared sources? Or am I not allowed to partake in this specific echo chamber?
Blender is not that bad, not even close in fact. Have you tried learning it at all? I know I have and per hour spent it’s far more empowering than other comparatively complex software.
You can’t compare a 2d picture editor to a full 3d modeling suite like they’re even remotely close. Blender is better.
Their ZCODE harness quite literally got caught zipping up people’s entire git trees and uploading them to alibaba servers. I have no qualms with Chinese ai but this specific company is on my blacklist.
I mean… Compare the outccomes of west and east germany… History isn’t in communism’s favor, at all…
Idk, seems like a fun truck to get off roading with, but probably quite dangerous to drive in a city with… Also basically runs on burning money.
Oh yeah Krita is FAR better than Gimp ux wise 100℅
I’ve spent 3 years learning freecad, and it’s bad, it’s entirely incapable of holding up against moderately complex projects, a simple fillet can break the whole model. It got better with 1.0 but it’s still so very far from competing with fusion or inventor / catia…
As for gimp… I’ve really tried adding it to my workflow, but it’s been a massive headache, I’d likely use photocraft over it given both options…
Ngl gimp never took off because it’s UX is terrible, plus it’s far from feature complete.
It’s like freecad in that regard, it exists, it’s foss, but it’s massively inferior to the paid options because UX is horrible and it breaks in weird ways.
Foss can be as good or better than non foss, just look at blender or Kicad, but these two aren’t it.
No bots you mean? X’)
Given how sensitive lemmy is to that word i’d go with cultural murder instead. Yes the violence committed on both sides is inacceptable, and undermines the messages / negociations.
Whoever set fire to that building should spend the rest of their lives paying it back, because as it currently stands the whole population will. Even the nazis didn’t go that far, but these looters respect nothing.
Well if you don’t like either you can always go for the paid sailfishOS, or a free linux experience like Ubuntu touch / postmarkerOS…
They’re just not accessible enough for the average user, and banking on them is suffering
I’m not sure i see the point of that as a product. Tuta mail makes sense because e-mail is genuinely hard to setup and get verified against (most of the time you’ll get flagged as a bot if you self host). But a drive, really?
All it takes is a couple of old drives in raid 1, bonus points for a proper NAS distro with ZFS and you’re up, a simple wireguard to get access anywhere along a free DNS url and you’re all set, you don’t need to trust anyone over files, even as a remote backup the actual service doesn’t matter if you deeply encrypt the backup file.
That approach isn’t all sunshine and rainbows though, it’ll undercut local businesses (the few remaining ones), and without ID of Nyc residents non-nyc ppl could take advantage of these stores to resell the goods for a higher price…
I’m not sure how NYC is going to sustain the costs as well, more taxes? Capital flight will be a problem. Not a musk fan here, but there’s two faces to this coin.
Might want to block the .ml instances if you don’t want to see too much weird chinese propaganda… (Tankies are weird).
