It’s been a while since I saw it, I remember the swimming scene where he’s looking at her but he acts perfectly fine

There’s a teenage girl who gets overly sexualized, but at the same time, it’s kind of so over the top it’s pointing out the issue that her other characteristics are ignored for it.

It’s also a film set in the 20s/30s in Italy and the Adriatic, made in the 80s, so kind of a product of the time. Apparently the dialog in other languages plays out slightly different, so the English dub might be part of the issue.

Personally, I do not think it’s over the line or gross, but some people do and it makes them not enjoy the movie.

Fantastic movie!

There is a problematic aspect, but it’s never too problematic to be a deal breaker.

You’re forgetting ancient Egypt and the Samurai.

I appreciate that Valve is trying and putting out good stuff

It’s just unfortunate everything is on fire while they try.

This is why they restrict Mythos and similar.

They want the vulnerability machine, and they don’t want you to have it.

Alfonse Alrich

I just watched this for the first time last week.

I’ve finished the show and it was excellent!

I wouldn’t put it past him that it mashes him feel more like Hitler to hold power in a crumbling embarrassed power filled with latent rage.

That is exactly what the Nazis leveraged to gain and hold power.

I always enjoy Pompeii graffiti

I’m a little sad the Goths aren’t on here

~100gb with images and the max image.

Asides from my kiwix clone of Wikipedia, in the apocalypse there’s not much value to most of the things I self host.

I self host backups, code forge, some AI tools (all my AI chat and completion are local now).

But realistically, in an apocalypse situation I’m going to leave my suburban home and migrate somewhere safer and more directly connected to food+shelter, and probably spend my days dealing with trying to survive.

My self hosting is primarily designed around avoiding US based tools and systems, so that I have more control over privacy and don’t find policy I disagree with.

I think that’s so cool!

I wonder what they’re like (I’m sure the answer is cold and rocky, but still!)

We need more deities!

How many could there be?

I like to imagine the alternative world, where instead of deplanetizing Pluto, they planetized all the dwarf planets and planetoids in our system.

Twitter has been on a massive decline since Elon bought it, updated the algorithm to force right wing bullshit on the users, and pushed AI generated deep fakes and child porn.

In 2026 there’s no “reach” excuse when other platforms have gained traction and non logged in viewers have a crap experience.

Just nazi stuff.

Elaborate?

Didn’t Ea Nasir have a room with a connection of complaints, implying it’s not just one client who was mad?

CUPS

That is all that’s needed.

In this case it’s the os asking your birthday, not having to prove your identity to use the computer

Which while still shitty is the only acceptable amount if she verification.

It’s still a fantastic computer.

I use it as a server and it’s very very fast, especially threaded workflows, and IO is fast.

Just don’t buy it expecting to replace paid AI services. And don’t buy it for AI dev, on paper it should be good, but driver issues. DGX Spark is better if yo want an AI dev machine.

It would not be worth it as a replacement for Claude.

80% of my issue is that it’s AMD and their drivers are still awful. 20% is that the token generation speed very slow, especially compared to commercial models running on dedicated hardware. MOE models are fine, dense models are too slow for meaningful workflows. ComfyUI is decent, but I’m not seriously into image gen.

I have a lot of fun with it, but I have not been able to use it for any actual AI dev.

Yes

High RAM for MOE models, high VRAM for dense models, and the highest GPU memory bandwidth you can get.

For stable diffusion models (comfyui), you want high VRAM and bandwidth. Diffusion is a GPU heavy and memory intensive operation.

Software/driver support is very important for diffusion models and comfy UI, so your best experience will be Nvidia cards.

I think realistically you need 80gb+ of RAM for things like qwen image quants (40 for model, 20-40 for LORA adapters in ComfyUI to get output).

I run an 128gb AMD AI 395+ Max rig, qwen image takes 5-20 minutes per 720p qwen image result in ComfyUI. Batching offers an improvement, reducing iterations during prototyping makes a huge difference. I have not tested since the fall though, and the newer models are more efficient.

I guess that’s true.

This morning my very non techy wife was complaining all the AI shit on her computer was making it slow.

I looked over and Explorer was visibly lagging clicking in to a folder, on a system with an SSD and solid specs.

I feel like I just want to check out of society lately.

Charging money to run your own actions, what the fuck?

But the sane thought goes with the new increased iOS ads, and just the general state of “now you’re locked in, let the gouging begin” phase of tech. I’m so fucking tired of it.

I know this is self hosted, but man I’m ready to start living in a cave.

Congrats to all the execs, you’ve completely ruined the tech industry.

Gave this a shot… something is horribly wrong with my system, for whatever reason steam could read my controller but never responded to any buttons in big picture mode.

Also, apparently my controller works as a mouse though, which is pretty neat.

I’m on atomic fedora, so I’ll try out bazzite (had no idea it was that easy to switch distros on atomic)

The pc parts market is getting fucked by the AI rush, so maybe it’ll work out better.

Well I know what I’m doing after work this week.

I have atomic fedora cosmic, so I’ll see what levers I need to pull to make this work. Maybe I need to add steam to the os tree and break it out of its flat pack.

Thank you for the tip!
