Yeah, so just free models available, unless you already bought the paid ones. I fail to see the piracy part, or the “free chatgpt”. You’re just advertising that there are free alternatives, which I don’t mind particularly, but it just came of as something else.

This is just free local models right? Not models from OpenAI.

It doesn’t protect you from evil executables, no torrent client does (that I know of). It’s up to you to make sure you trust what you download. If it simply is movies I wouldn’t be bothered, but games/software can be nasty when from public trackers (open for everyone torrent search engines). The same is true for direct downloads.

If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it. It simply downloads torrents, I wouldn’t worry about it.

What is unclear with the mega thread? Maybe get some sleep and try again.

You can direct download sometimes but content is usually downloaded through torrents. If you want to download a torrent you need a client that can handle these torrents, you can probably search for “torrent client Android” and find something, I’ve never downloaded on my phone.

To find torrent files, check the megathread. Usually such a site works as a search engine for torrents, where each torrent equals a movie, game or some such. So you could say they replace telegram I guess.

At least that’s how I pirate, albeit with some more automization and through private trackers.

Oughh, Dungeon Keeper… That was one of my favorites as a child, the Swedish voice acting was top notch!

The internet.

Go ahead, be the change you want to see.

If you actually tried finding the alternative I bet you’d find it.

Yeah, I hope for the same for Russia. To me it seems like that sort of change has to come from within though. External pressures is put through the internal propaganda machine and out comes agitation. But if they get a movement going I’m sure they’d be heard by the west. The HK demonstrations got a lot of light, not that it helped much… But what else is there to do. We could start a war, but I’m doubtful that will make things better.

Fair enough. I don’t think it’s only our cushy lives though. The influence the US has on Israel compared to China makes a difference. We know of the Uighur situation as well, but there’s not that much we can do than condemning. Sure, trade embargos I guess… But compared to Israel that is very much dependent on the west. There’s a viable way to some sort of solution through sheer influence.

I don’t care for the conflict either, more than that I think it’s unfortunate. Much like my take on Tibet. I don’t think the CCP is generally liked much in the west though. And I don’t know much about the Tibetan conflict, but why would the west side as much with HK as we’ve done if we already was in China’s pockets? Or what are you trying to say?

Point taken. That’s just yours three letter agency though. Ours are blissfully unaware, without resources (or maybe will) to tap sea cables or pay ISPs for direct access.

I didn’t believe you, but one search told me otherwise.

“as of May 2022, 160 monks, nuns, and ordinary people have self-immolated in Tibet since 27 February 2009” ref.

Your take should still consider the differences in these issues and the prevalence of Israel v Palestine in western media and why that might be, instead of sounding butthurt a dude’s sacrifice for something he believed in worked somewhat. If it makes you happier it’s probably gone with the next news cycle.

Lol, how would that work large scale? Or was it tongue in cheek?

It’s easier/faster/cheaper to just pay for it and they get a lot of already existing data as well. Even if they’d pay the low price of a dollar for every monthly active user on Reddit to switch over to lemmy, that’d cost them 850 millions.

In many engineering professions you really need to understand the underlying math to have a chance in hell to interpret the results correctly. Just because you get a result doesn’t mean you get an answer.

Haha yes, eager to please.

So it did it correctly but you told it to hallucinate? Or did it just fail from the get to?

It really isn’t great at math, but I’ve had okay results for equations where common integrals/trigonometry is used. It’s quite easy to spot the mistakes and can lead you to the answer even if it’s wrong in the explanation. Pretty much like how it can hallucinate while programming but still end up useful.

WolframAlpha is still my go to though if I’m lazy. But I haven’t payed for it in ages.

In the threads I mentioned users were literally asking for alternatives. Trying to shove alternatives by posting in subs will end badly, no doubt.
