simion314··on European lawmakers suspend U.S. trade deal
It is easy to understand, the citizens in the EU do not want to spill blood for Ukraine, and sinne not like in the Ruzzian empire where elections do not matter in EU countries politicians must not do unpopular things since they ned the support from the people and sending people to die is not popular in eU like it is in Ruzzia. But if say the Putin regime gets "tricked" again by CIA and Putin is forced to attack EU then we can see if we can push them out of not,

Talking with the Zed patriots they are convinced that CIA created nazis in UYkraine and also forced Putin to start this "special" operation, somehow Putin is a genius but at the same time IA tricked him or corced him to start a war that is in the 4th year of the 3 day operation.

simion314··on Ireland wants to give its cops spyware, ability to crack encrypted messages
From my memory this case can actually be used to support spyware, I remember all the media complaining "how is it possible that the police or the secret service can't instantly locate a phone very precisely" , same when that airplane crashed and the people were calling for help but the authorities could not get the coordinates and searched for hours , the media was demanding that the police or other services have the technical ability to locate any person in distress.
simion314··on PCs refuse to shut down after Microsoft patch
Use Ubuntu/Kubuntu LTS , do not upgrade every 6 m0onths to get the latest bugs from upstream just because they GNOME/KDE made some small improvements for some feature you probably do not use. There are PPAs with latest kernels and NVIDIA driver if you really need to upgrade for your work or gaming. This shit on upgrade happens on cool distros too, just Google Arch broke on update and you will see that there were cases where the efi partition was deleted and the user data was lost or some font customization a dude done to GNOME broke the login after an update.

If you want to install Linux to a less tech person you install an LTS distro and enable only the security updates, you can install Firefox from upsteeam and it has auto update and install ad blockers on it but teach the user how to stop it for specific websites in the case the blocker breaks stuff.

>What makes you think Meta will do a better job of policing this than the actual police?

Meta announce they will stop political/electoral advertising in EU, so this ios proof that Meta can do but we need to foce them to act, otherwise Meta makes money from all the scams in the ads that are published, in fact I remember Meta looked into the scam problem and decided to stop looking sicne solving the problem would reduce their profits.

Now in case all those well paid engineers at Meta can't find a solution here is an idea I had just by thinking at it for a few seconds, those geniuses shoudl be able to find better ones if they want.

1 when a scam ad is reported block that account and their ads

2 before the ad is published have an AI scan it, if it looks to be related to politics, crypto or other scam friendly domains have someone review it . do not allow fresh accounts to publish this kind of shit without a human review

3 for Facebook content when someone shares fake shiot, like a proven fake document, or scam or faked video block the account and then notify all the people that liked or shared the scam that they were scammed/tricked ... when your users will get 10 daily notifications "You are an idiot you shared this fake shit" you might realize you should do something about scams or users will stop engaging with your stuff.

I am talking here about proveable scams and fakes , so not about some gray area. I mean scams, faked videos/images/documents etc

simion314··on I replaced Windows with Linux and everything's going great
There is no magic plug and play in Windows, you need to install the giant bundle of crap the printer CD comes with, In Linux it actually works this days, no internet and no CD needed.

>If I was able to memorize every pixel value to reconstruct a movie from memory, would that be theft?

Don an experiment, memorize a popular small poem, then publish it under your name (though I suggest to check the laws in your rtegion for this and also consider it might affect your reputation).

IMO is the same if ChatGPT memorizes my poem and then you ask it for a poem , you copy paste my poem from ChatGPT and publish it as your own.

simion314··on I replaced Windows with Linux and everything's going great
not OC, as i mentioned in parallel thread, an USB witreless antena. The brand of the antena is not important, what is important is the chip used in it, since same chip is used by many brands , some chap no name brands or some well known brands use same chip and package it in a more expensive looking package.

In Windows it does not recognize it, so I pluged it in Linux and just worked directly, no need to scan for drivers or shit like that, so I run the "lsusb" command in Linux, found the chip ID , searched the internet for a Windows driver from Linux, put it on a USB stick and install it on Windows.

Also I am 100% sure that when I bought my desktop the box had CDs for everything from motherboard, sound, network and video card, I am remember for sure that if I would install the drivers in the wrong order in Windows the OS willb e confused and not detect my sound card)because some cofusion between the Realteck network and sound card I think)

Would be an interesting experiment to get N random PCs and N random non tech people and have them install Windows and Linux on them, have them setup the random hardware in the PC, setup a printer and scanner, connect the phone to it and download photos etc the Linux distro must be a distro targeted for normal people not the extreme dev/game/nerd targetd distros so IMO Kubuntu LTS would be a good choice.

simion314··on Why Is Greenland Part of the Kingdom of Denmark? A Short History
Is worse then an alternative reality, the logic does not work in those brains, anything is relative, if X did Y is good if X = Putin/Trump but is evil if X != Putin/Trump
simion314··on I replaced Windows with Linux and everything's going great
>You would never use the cd lol, it would auto install - and if it didn’t you’d download the drivers online though if it’s such a piece of junk as to need that then it’s a junk piece of hardware anyway.

Sure, sure , so all hardware that does not autoinstall on Windows directly without a driver or internet is junk. AFAIK Windows can't install the correct nvidia or AMD drivers and you need to use special steps to prepare a windows install USB since the installer for some reason starts from the stick but doe's not have the drivers to complete the installation from the stick

simion314··on I replaced Windows with Linux and everything's going great
Windows is worse , just latest example: a USB WiFi antenna for the PC, on Linux it just works, on Windows you need either to buy a CD drive to install the drivers - not sure if your grandma can buy a cd drive, install it and install drivers. On Linux it just works.

People like buy a computer and use whatever is on it, they can't manage to install windows, the drivers needed for the hardware, I had to setup emails, or other online accounts for this kind of people so give them a preinstalled Linux and they should manage,.

simion314··on Why Is Greenland Part of the Kingdom of Denmark? A Short History
Exactly, USA already has military bases there and could nuke Ruzzia if they really would invade Greenland, but MAGAs can't use their brain, same like the Zed patriots, when the leader says something stupid and obviously fake they turn their brains off and use the hate in their harts to justify it.

>if it becomes US territory would it not be more like be more like Alaska than Venezuela?

Why not something like Puerto Rico? why would Trump give rights to natives of Greenland? those people would vote Democrats , less of the two evils.

simion314··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
>Invading countries to annex them is not even that bad if you give full citizen rights to their population.

This is soviet bullshit, the Moscowitz did a lot of genocides you can find plenty of sources, so they were and are as bad as Israel because the Rusky/slavs in Ruzzia are indoctrinated to feel superior to the other non slaves in the empire and feel still a bit more superior then the rest of the slavs. You can look at the existing recent data from the Ruzzian stats and how the minorities are more in decline then the Ruskies.

So for uninformed people that might read this soviet guy comment, read a wikipedia summary of what moscowites did and Putin is still doing, I suggest not reading in detail, like reading books or interviews with vitims of this criminal empire you will fill a big amount of pain if you have empath on how this Ruscists treated humans , I will never forget the stuff Ir ead and better if I did not know the details.

Ruzzia, israle , USA all are bad but the situation is multidimensional and is not easy to say that Ruzzia is less bad then Nazis and are better then Israle etc., we cana dmit that criminal are criminals, dictators are dictators, bastardads are bastards and trolls are trolls.

simion314··on US sanctions EU government officials behind the DSA
>If we don't comply, they will impose sanctions. They are even trying to make gun ownership illegal in Switzerland...

UK is the proof that nobody is forced to be part of EU or have good relations with EU. EU also forces food not contain excrements, where is your freedom to buy food with exfements? As you can see I can also say ridiculous things.

simion314··on Why isn't online age verification just like showing your ID in person?
Exactly, on my Play Station I setup for my son I enter his real birthday, then Sony knows what can he do in the Store or chat etc. So we could have the big tech Apple, Google, Microsoft, Canonical ensure to make an idiot prof setup screen and the parent is responsible to set the age of the birthday of the child if they give a device to them . Then the store can be filtered and the browser can have a standard way of adding in the headers an age range or something.

Big tech did not want to cooperate to do this for some weird reason so now we get a much more complicated solution.

Yes I know that if your kid uses a live USB stick he could watch porn on his laptop but IMO is much easier for such a smart kid to find a website that does not respect the browser headers and torrent adult content.

simion314··on KDE Plasma 6.8 Will Go Wayland-Exclusive in Dropping X11 Session Support
They are doing something, they created a FAKE alternative for X11 that in fact is just a protocol for a micro subset of X11.
simion314··on KDE Plasma 6.8 Will Go Wayland-Exclusive in Dropping X11 Session Support
Yeah, so is not shitty for those claimed X11 devs to drop X11 since is hard and make a spreadsheet with a specification of a subset of X11 , then let other suckers implement it and maybe some other suckers create specifications of the missifng part they refused or were incapable to create. Probably all was exactly as Red Hat planned, if it works for GNOME then the rest is ignored or if it does not work for the rest then is a bonus.
simion314··on KDE Plasma 6.8 Will Go Wayland-Exclusive in Dropping X11 Session Support
>Wayland was started primarily by those who were maintaining X11. There is almost nobody who is both capable of working on X11 and wants to work on it.

Isn't wayland just soem protocol? so did the ex X11 devs wrote soem specifications and then soem went to GNOME< some to KDE and others are just editing the specifications ?

I think the issue is that there is no wayland library that a DE can use so everyone is forced to implement it as part of the DE , so the end result is a lot of missing features and incompatibility.

I could be wrong, I still run Linux but I decided years ago to stop following the Linux drama, I will use Kubuntu LTS and hopefully when it drops X11 the Wayland implementation and the X11 fallback would be usable.

>I thought to win you need to get more votes than competitors, not to spend more money.

Listen troll, there is a law in civilized countries about how elections should take place, this laws include declaring your spending, labeling political ads as "political", not doing campaign in specific days before elections, gathering real signatures etc. I am not sorry for Putin that his favorite candidate did not respected the law in such an ovvious way that his trolls can't defend it so they have to do some deflection.

For actual humans reading this, Kremlinescu declared ZERO spending, he spend more then ZERO, so law was broken, for Kremlin bots, next time instruct your pawns to avoid doing so obvious illegal shit.

What idiot would think that the guy would brag by mistake that he spends zero ? Unless Kremlinescu is retarded he knew well that a lot of money is spent in this campaign, and if he is a retard then is a win win we got an actual genius as president then a Putin fanboy.

Kremlinescu is also linked with far right criminals/mercenaries ... and the bastard had the guts to pretend he does not know the criminals until video evidence triggered his memory. Fuck him and his idiots fascists followers.

simion314··on Our investigation into the suspicious pressure on Archive.today
I am not from USA, I mentioned facts you can check, so you can judge the guys action or you be "navie" and trust his words. So for actuaal people that want the truth the badstatd was caiming in the day of Romanian election that France asked him to push pro EU propaganda in Telegram and he the big hero refussed. For some reason he only had the ability to tell the truth about his heroism in the day of the elections and not before when the press could demand him to bring some evidence or details. Ofc there was no evidence and I think he repeated this shit again in Moldova elections... The facts show the bastards is working for the KGB, maybe he is forced to do it and maybe he actually hatest Putin but he plays the Kremlin dance for some reason.

P.S. for lazy Ruzzian cyber trolls, when you see an old account where less then 1% of shit is about Putin and the Zeds then this is clearly a real person, find more inteligent or less drunk keybord worriors.

simion314··on Our investigation into the suspicious pressure on Archive.today
>You could say France has pwnd Durov.

The Telegram dude is still pushing Ruzzian propaganda and is interfering in other countries elections for proRuzzian forces. So from the facts I can say Telegram and it's boss are a KGB asset, not sure what France managed to get from the guy or it was all a KGB propaganda operation to make idiots think Telegram is not controlled by KGB.

simion314··on EuroLLM: LLM made in Europe built to support all 24 official EU languages
Nope, I respect Russians and hate Ruzzians, Ruzzians hate Russians because they are not sucking Putin.
simion314··on EuroLLM: LLM made in Europe built to support all 24 official EU languages
Oh, typical Ruzzian victim comlex, their brain can't understand why all their neighbors and "brother slavs" hate them, brainwashing for generations made them think in unatural logic where you need to negate anything a Ruzzian says and then you increase the probability 100 times to be the truth.

Ruzzian = a Russian Zed patriot , we use this notation to acknowledge that there still exists a small percentage of educated Russians that are not Ruscists.

simion314··on Subverting Telegram's end-to-end encryption (2023)
>Can you point at anything in his message that's not factually correct?

He also got involved in Romanian and Moldovan elections, by sending a message to target users in the day of the elections( when doing campaign is illegal) with claims he presented no evidence for, basically the bastard works for Ruzzia, he might be forced to but the facts do not lie.

simion314··on KDE celebrates the 29th birthday and kicks off the yearly fundraiser
>Anyone want to share why you currently choose KDE over Gnome?

GNOME is like a tool that was designed to fit the average user so if you are not the average user (like you know the joke where the average person has 1 testicle) then you have to mold yourself to fit into GNOME (or try to hack it with unsuported extensions that might make it more tolerable) in KDE you have nobs to tweak it to fit you smoothly (like for example with one checkbox I can make the Left Alt to be a Ctrl button so i do not bend my hand and fingers to use my many Ctrl+keys shortcuts).

IMO use GNOME only if you are the typical GNOME user, that prefer to bend themselves over and not to adapt the tool to fit . Avoid KDE if too many options cause you some anxiety or buffer overflow.

simion314··on Google, Meta and Microsoft to stop showing political ads in the EU
There could be an index where you list your product/service, so people can find your stuff when they need it. But yeah will be harder to manipulate people to buy your miracle supplement or other garbage that is 99% of the current ads I see. I do not watch Tv, use ad blockers so after years of not watching TV I watched a bit recently and most ads are supplements/"naturists medicine" and for some reasons on youtube without the ad blocker they always show me the same ad over and over again(it is funny Google is trying to sell me the product from the company I work for, and somehow showing me same ad each day would convince someone to eventually try something they are not interested in)
simion314··on A small number of samples can poison LLMs of any size
Right, you would need open source models that were checked by multiple trusty parties to be sure there is nothing bad in them, though honestly with so much quantity of input data there could be hard to be sure that there was no "poison" already placed in. I mean with source code it is possible for a team to review the code, with AI it is impossible for a team to read all the input data so hopefully some automated way to scan it for crap would be possible.
simion314··on A small number of samples can poison LLMs of any size
My guess is that they want to push the idea that Chinese models could be backdoored so when they write code and some triggers is hit the model could make an intentional security mistake. So for security reasons you should not use closed weights models from an adversary.
simion314··on North Korea executing more people for watching foreign films and TV, UN finds
Ukraine is at war, can conscripted men in Ruzzia refuse the conscription and leave teh country? No, since military service is mandatory

and I never said anything about Ukraine, comrade "What About" , Ukrainians are little soviets , not giant soviets like the Moscowites so I will not see me praise them, I just do not want mr Putin make the USSR great again and bring back the genocides.

So , since I did not claim Ukraine is a paradise not show me why the USSR and NK paradises do not let people out, not let people communicate with their relatives outside and tell them how perfect, nice or good enough the paradise is.

I bet you will respond with "What About" or some other pre-written text from your soviet book or propaganda.

simion314··on North Korea executing more people for watching foreign films and TV, UN finds
