Sorry but saying that Russians casualties are a waste of life is not sympathy. It's humanity. This dehumanization people support is not healthy.

Edit : not to mention they could have asked me to edit instead of removing the whole post

 

The video I linked for reference

I guess I was "sympathizing with invaders" because I said "Such an absolute waste of life, just for the vanity of one man."

Just patently ridiculous moderation...

That's the answer right there. The lemmy personal customization is quite flexible. You can even make it behave like an old-school forum if you want.

Enthusiast GGUF quantizations should take care of that. Let them cook

I ain't your dad. However I do find such statements counter productive as it just scares people away from what anarchism is really about.

As for politicians, I'd rather make them equal to the rest of us. For those who've spent all their lives pampered in privilege that would feel intolerable. Of course the fash can get bashed

I cannot believe they consider Greek ships non hostile. Greece has been routinely backing Israel because they want it as a geopolitical rival to turkey

Has a sense of capitalistic entitlement in it. You feel that you deserve the product of art but don't respect the people who do put in the time and effort learning how to make it enough to properly compensate them for the time that they spent learning the profession.

This is really not true at all. Me and others not having the time to learn to draw (and compose and direct and act and and and...) doesn't mean we disrespect those who do. We just want to make something to enjoy for ourselves. And yes, those who don't have the time, also (typically) don't have the money. Again, it's a classist argument to claim that everyone has either the time to learn, or the money to commission.

Likewise, it's infuriating to see privileged takes of "oh just spend a few hours here and there". Motherfucker, there's people who do not have a few hours here and there. There's people who work 2 jobs, who raise children alone, who are primary caregivers for others. They're not taking anything from artists by generating an image they like in the 1 minute they have available.

I am of the opinion of, let people enjoy things that bring them joy. I have no issue with GenAI if it's for strictly non-commercial personal use, especially when it's using open-weight local models who've already been trained. I do think that GenAI work should not be able to be monetized at all, but I don't make the rules. But people moralizing against random enthusiasts because "just learn to draw bruv" is never going to convince anyone or achieve anything. However convincing people to not support massive corpos will.

Please follow the guidelines of this comm, as much as possible with reddit (I know it doesn't have public modlogs)


All posts should follow this basic structure:

  • Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
  • What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
  • Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
  • Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
  • Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Yep I've been close to something like that, but I never had nowhere enough success to make me manic. It's also another thing, way too many asocial nerds get into Foss development but don't get any such recognition and just burn out.

No picture that I can see

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Please follow this comm guidelines. Your post is too vague. Post the modlog so people understand what you're talking about at least.

The hope is that this is telling them, "stop collecting and delete what you have", but dunno for sure

 

I was watching a video yesterday which had a sponsor for deleteme which claims to go through data brokers to delete your info. I thought that might be a good idea, especially for those with radical politics. However it's fairly expensive (~200$) and also I mistrust sponsored links by default.

Have you used them? Have you used something else? What do you recommend people do to deal with the hundreds of data brokers which harvest your info? The point is not to disappear entirely, but pershaps to make it less easy for an employer, payment processor or whatever to blackllist you based on GenAI assessments etc.

 

Note I found one comment which works for me in there: https://huggingface.co/Lightricks/LTX-2.3/discussions/13#69b26bb65d8741ba168540b4

Use 0.987, 0.85, 0.725, 0.422, 0.0 in your upscaler sigmas. This seems to work for me, but ofc it adds one more step than before, so the speed is reduced. This works well if you're planning to re-use the last frame of the video to extend it or smt.

Another solution that works is to simply cut off the lat 18 frames from the video and make it 18 frames longer. Υou can just extract the last frame at the point of cutoff. What I do to avoid cutting off speech (if there is one), I might add "there's a moment of silence" in the end of my prompt. Then the cutoff frames don't interrupt anything

Hello again peeps, I come back to you with more exciting news. After last months vote passed to accept quokk.au as a member of the FAF, the vote on their end only just marginally failed for a 1-vote tiebreaker. The primary reservation people expressed back then was not wanting to follow the FAF defederations/bans as many people chose quokk.au explicitly due to their defederation list, particularly of Marxist-Leninist-friendly instances like hexbear.

Given however that there was willingness from admins on both sides to collaborate and provide mutual aid to each other due to our shared values, we went back to the drawing board to find a compromise. The main issue was that we wanted a way where we didn't want to sacrifice the tight integration of the FAF proper, but there is also an option "softer" version of the flotilla integration, which is less technical and more political.

So we came down to having two different tiers of membership in the flotilla

Consorts: These are the fully integrated members of the FAF. For all accounts and purposes, they count as a single instance, as they follow the same rules, bans and federations and their members get voting rights on all proposals. I.e. the original vision I proposed.

Companions: These are the more politically-only aligned instances.

  • They don't have to follow the FAF defederations and bans so they have no say in those either. However companion instances can optionally chose to follow defederations and/or bans, which allows them to vote on them as well.
  • They can take part in the voting for rules which don't refer to deferations or bans, and they have to follow those rules (e.g. golden rules, radical admin recalls etc). They are also allowed to propose new rule changes as well for the whole FAF.
  • They get access to FAF private matrix channels and benefit from our resident technical expertise and moderation experiences.

Naturally a Companion instance can at any time become a Consort by simply on-boarding existing FAF defeds & bans and therefore immediately get future voting rights for those as well.

After we reached internal consensus on these two tiers, we then re-approached @Quokka@quokk.au to see if that would cover their reservations and we're today happy to announce that they've officially joined the FAF.

On a personal note: It's been always my passion to grow a system that is not only technically robust, but also politically as well, and the only way we can achieve this is by reinforcing the mutual aid ties between aligned actors, while providing enough independence for self-expression. This is yet another step in that direction and I hope it can lead to more versatile fediverse structures like feeler networks and whatnot.
