The “memes” by the Lemmy devs really are the best advertisment for Piefed and Mbin

Lenine is a huge theoricist, but beware of those idolizing him. Neither God, nor Caesar, nor Tribune.

Update KB5053598 is a very simple update that includes “miscellaneous security improvements to internal OS functionality” as well as a servicing stack update. It’s rather basic then but it seemingly introduced a bug that saw Copilot being removed from the operating system.

Is it possible that somehow some component in the update or some dev at Microsoft found Copilot to be too intrusive security-wise and decided to uninstall it ?

If I’m correct, the linux foundation took up development of the Servo engine when Mozilla dropped it. So they don’t focus entirely on Chromium, and may be the ones to take back after Mozilla for Firefox/Gecko engine if needed (you did not said that ofc, but i think it’s important to mention). There’s still a long way to go with new engines such as Servo and Ladybird, but that may be good alternatives in the future.

There’s actually a typo, i wrote “relies or bullshit” instead of " on bullshit"

I disagree with you, links are not that long to share. It is a bit more time consuming obviously, but everyone can choose whether to read quickly or really dive in the sources. I see a lot of people doing it today on internet. I see a lot of people doing it in casual conversation (opening a book or internet to check smthg). It’s not evidence, it’s hints to avoid launching a whole discussion that entirely lies or bullshit (or not).

Here are some links I found about smuggled chips.

• Reuters : Deepseek said they used legally imported old and new nvidia chips (H800 and H20s). There are suspicions and investigations about illegal smuggling of banned from export nvidia chips, targeting directly Deepseek. One CEO of an american AI startup said it is likely Deepseek used smuggled chips.
• The Diplomat : exactly the same, citing directly Reuters. Adds that H800 (now banned from export) and H20s were designed by Nvidia specially for the chinese market. Adds that smuggling could go through Singapore, which leaped from 9% to 22% of Nvidia revenues in 2 years. Nvidia and Singapore representatives deny.
• Foxbusiness : same.

So it is likely there are smuggled chips in china if we believe this. Now to say they have been used by Deepseek and even more, that they have been decisive is still very unclear.

Im no expert at all, but I think it might be hallucination/coincidence, skew of training data, or more arbitrary options even : either the devs enforced that behaviour somewhere in prompts, either the user asked for something like “give me the answer as if you were a chinese official protecting national interests” and this ends up in the chain of thoughts.

Im not entirely sure i understood everything but is donation the solution you’re looking for?

I get that there is lot more nuances than russo-ukrainian, but imo there is a lot more similarities than you seem to imply : both Russia and Israel claimed that the land belonged to them before, that they should get it back, and use violence to kill local people who tried to resist or move them. The only difference is that Israel did it with the help of western countries and partially according to their laws, so they get like an aura of legitimity, but the acts remains quite close.

I do not like when people basically do not accept violent behavior but accepts them when they are allowed by some law or authority.

(Also yes Hamas is doing bad things and should be held accountable in some way, just like Ukraine to my eyes. But still, for me it remains obvious who kills more, who steals more, who oppresses more)
