This is an extremely pathetic and ignorant take that reveals very little understanding of the history of Palestine. Israel flavored koolaid must take like shit.

You are consistently the only voice of reason in this thread.

Absolutely insufferable take. Enjoy your fascism either way.

Nobody thinks he is going to be better. People are saying it will be more of the same because the current guy is actually already doing messed up shit and people like you don’t care. That is the whole point.

The American Fascist party is red and blue my dude.

“I would also like to maintain a US government that allows such criticism”

And you are okay telling people to vote for Biden? You do realize he is 100% for the Antisemitism Awareness act that uses the IHRA’s definition that makes it a hate crime to criticize the state of Israel, right?

You do realize his response to students peacefully protesting is a several billion dollar police bolstering package, right?

Liberals are the worst, dude. Scream about fascism all day long but only if it comes from an orange moron. Biden can do basically anything and people would still say “vote for the lesser evil”.

I feel like every time I come on here I am reading propaganda but people are probably just that ignorant.

This sentiment is idiotic. There are plenty of reasons not to vote for Biden. Don’t blame people who actually vote with a spine for the shit political problem in America. Voting for the “lesser evil” has just been a slide further and further right for decades.

No representation, no vote. People can and should vote for who they feel aligned with and everyone should be okay with other people doing that. You know, actual democracy and shit. Fuck this team sports shit. Third party is an option. If the dems actually wanted to win they would offer basically any other candidate.

Biden dropping a $37bn package to bolster police forces in response to peaceful student protests should show you that its fascism on both sides of the coin.

If Trump wins, at least the liberals and the leftists might actually realign and then maybe something decent will happen before we are all obliterated/enslaved by our corporate overlords.

Either way we are in for more dumpster fires.

yep, definitely agree with all of this.

If you just want to use a local llm, using something like gpt4all is probably the easiest. Oobabooga or llama.cpp for a more advanced route.

I use ollama with llama3 on my macbook with open-webui and it works real nice. Mistral7b is another one I like. On my PC I have been using oobabooga with models I get from huggingface and I use it as an api for hobby projects.

I have never trained models, I don’t have the vram. My GPU is pretty old so I just use these for random gamedev and webdev projects and for messing around with RP in sillytavern.

In this thread, people who think it is okay to bomb civilians in the name of stopping “terrorism”.

If Israel are the good guys, why do they need to push legislation through in the US to make it illegal to criticize their government (antisemitism awareness act)? Why are cops all across the US beating peaceful protestors for chilling in the name of peace? Why is the US government’s response to crack down on this so extremely? Why are they arresting legal observers and press at these student demonstrations?

I am certain that peaceful students that suffer rubber bullets, flashbangs, and teargas at the hands of the state will be on the right side of history.

Maybe because they are killing a fuckton of civilians as they target said civilian infrastructure. It is a warcrime. Pretty fucking clear violation of the Geneva convention. Do better.

They aren’t banning it for privacy issues though. They literally passed a domestic surveillance bill at the same time lol

They want to get rid of tik tok because they can’t control the narrative and people are successfully organizing on the platform.

Noooooo that is so disappointing to hear.

I used to work in that factory. All I will say is that it didn’t help my fear of flying. 😅

The domestic apps scrape and sell the same data to anybody who will buy it, foreign adversaries included. They are banning tiktok because the younger generation is way more connected on there and there is attention being brought to places they don’t want it. Simple as that.

I do use the platform and used to think the same thing everyone else my age thinks but it is actually super good. Most content creators moved over for a reason.

There is a lot of “good activism” on there and I think that is the thing they would like to stamp out.

I think it’s a scary thing combined with the fact that politicians have been trying to pass KOSA and similar bills that outline very harsh punishments for anyone using vpns to circumvent national bans.

America isn’t free and it is getting less free by the day.

The US is a capitalist dumpster fire. Seems like a lot of folks in here don’t use the platform much because they are just repeating the same talking points western media parrots.

The big problem seems to be that younger generations are connecting and organizing on there and they can’t shut it up. If the issue is that a foreign adversary is exposing the corrupt shit the US is doing and that they allow US citizens to connect with each other rapidly on such issues, well… where is the fucking problem?

Outside of that, it is a dope platform with a scary good algorithm. Lots of good folks in there. Most content creators flocked there because the other platforms are shit now. Bytedance has complied in every way but they are essentially trying to force the sale of tiktok despite them not wanting to sell. That is shitty.

Tiktok is not the problem. What a fucking joke.

Agree with you on the price, disagree with the sentiment. Unless you’re comparing to a linux machine it is a bad take. You can do plenty to MacOS and it isn’t constantly trying to reinstall fucking one drive or hijack my search bar or reset my privacy settings after an update.

But yeah, they can fuck off with the prices.

Wondering the same thing.

Pedophilia is not some weird fetish, though. It has no place in this world. Pedophiles just don’t deserve to have their sexual needs met in any way - period.

A lot of the comments in here seem a little bit too sympathetic.
