- Comment on French lawmakers urged a social media ban for under-15s and "digital curfew" for older minors 5 days ago:
I am already. But most of them will not go away from social media platforms. Especially youth and older people. Since both of these groups often lack the knowledge and understanding of what is really happening and how to circumvent it.

🤣
- Comment on French lawmakers urged a social media ban for under-15s and "digital curfew" for older minors 5 days ago:
Exactly my point. These rules are not for kids....
It's for adults, so everybody becomes known with their passport uploaded. Etc. - Comment on French lawmakers urged a social media ban for under-15s and "digital curfew" for older minors 5 days ago:
It's not about the kids 😅....

French politics are crazy. If this is getting pushed. Then all adults need to upload their passports and id's.
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 1 week ago:
Also to add to this. 8k sounds 2x as large as 4k. But that isn't true. 8k is four times the pixels of 4k, so can you imagine what kind of GPU or content stream you will need to make sense...

Yup Debian would also be my way of getting started.
- Comment on how to start with self-hosting? 2 weeks ago:
Nobody is saying it, so I will. The most important thing is to just get started!
It doesn't matter if you go for a plain Debian server or a fancy proxmox installation with high availability. I believe the most important thing is just to start and experiment. And enjoy!

It's all about power indeed.

It's fine... What can go wrong? Just click approve.
- Comment on Mississippi's age assurance law puts decentralized social networks to the test 2 weeks ago:
Just go away with age verification. You are breaking the internet with this non sense. Eg. Providing passports will only cause exploits and leaks, with all its consequences.
If you want to protect your children, then maybe the parents should protect them.
- Comment on Sam Altman admits OpenAI ‘totally screwed up’ its GPT-5 launch and says the company will spend trillions of dollars on data centers 3 weeks ago:
Yeah. That was kinda a joke. It's not a bug but a feature is a common slogan under software developers.
- Comment on Sam Altman admits OpenAI ‘totally screwed up’ its GPT-5 launch and says the company will spend trillions of dollars on data centers 3 weeks ago:
Llm is just next word prediction. The Ai doesn't know whether the output is correct or not. If it's wrong or right. Or fact or a lie.
So no I'm not spreading misinformation. The only thing that might spread misinformation is the AI here.

It's a feature. Not a bug of LLMs.

Fk UK government

Cloud is just my own Nextcloud, hosted from my own garage. And trust me, it's using zero water.
- Comment on UK government suggests deleting files to save water 5 weeks ago:
I never heard so much bs in a single article. Those files and emails are stored on cold storage, and is using zero water. I guess it's a goodtthing to remove old files and empty your trash bin, both in real life as well as digital.
But this article makes no sense at all. Just one query to an AI will use so much more energy and water in comparison with your old email in cold storage. It's a joke.

Ps. I should also mention you can enable GSM on game specific basis. By selecting the game and press triangle for options. And then enable gsm.
- Comment on Age Verification Is Coming for the Whole Internet 5 weeks ago:
Latest stable release, which is currently version 1.1.0. While I do have 1920x1080 60hz working. Just keep in mind that not every game has 1080, however even then when you are forcing 1080 you might get less blurry results.
See attachment image.
