The elderly are the problem. Many of them are hoarding all of the dog food for themselves to have cheap and easy meals in retirement. At this point there is none left for the pupperinos.

Basically, your VPN just replaces your ISP. So for example, if I want an ISP that's okay with piracy a VPN can be3 a good option.

Your IP address is not how you are spied on for the most part. It's more browser fingerprinting. So a VPN can offer a false sense of security when really enhancing your privacy is a lot less passive than that. Overall it can help but it's not a magic privacy button.

Also entities like the NSA with a "god's eye view" can just track you anyways. Even if the VPN service wasn't compromised, they can just watch traffic going in and coming out and correlate it to you. It offers basically no protection from high-resource adversaries.

Funny enough it's not even his AI. He is just running an image generator that came out recently called "Flux".

I think the effect that generative AI has had on the ability to steal from hardworking content creators is worth more than $5 billion to these demons.

 

I've come to the conclusion that there must have been deaths. There were global outages at hospitals, 911 services were out among other things.

Yet I have not seen one official report trying to tally up the deaths. I'm trying to look for something but it seems like there is a blackout on the reproting of this aspect of it.

Basically Nexus/STC is an attempt to recreate sci-hub but in a decentralized manner. Everything is mirrored on IPFS which in my opinion is not that great but it gets the job done. Sci-hub has been frozen since 2021 so new papers are not available. As time progresses, sci-hub becomes less and less useful.

Scientific articles are crowd sourced instead of scraped. If the article isn't on there it can be requested. They also mirror libgen databases.

Also it's named Standard Template Construct as a Warhammer reference.

Here is a link on how to use it.

Z-library is no good. They basically mirror libgen's database and then add additional books without feeding them back/maintaining public databases. It appears to be a for-profit enterprise.

Libgen, annas archive, and nexus are much better for liberating knowledge.

This would play so much better if they just raised prices and framed it as a discount during low-volume times.

 

I never really watched adventure time as a kid but I'm really enjoying this new Fiona & Cake show.

The themes/violence seem darker/more brutal than what I would expect from a kid's show. I'm not sure if Adventure Time was like this.

What about notepad?

If you're 1080p gaming you will have little benefit from DLSS. If you're gaming at 1440p you'll get a lot of benefit.

Yeah it's just crazy because if you're into reddit enough to pay for it you're probably producing value for them in the form of quality posts.
