Someone more knowledgeable than me please correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think any of the original private investors have been capable of selling anything and I don’t think they will be able to for another 30 or 60 days.

And IMO, I think Elon is thoroughly convinced that he will have another Tesla stock situation on his hand, where it generally keeps going up unreasonably for many many years.

Oh for sure. I’m just curious what dosage folks are taking around here.

I’m trying out Zed

Yea I hope this spurs more investment into Chinese llm labs, or really any country doing open models (pretty much only china). The united states like normal cannot be a trusted and reliable partner. I’m also against lobotomizing llms in general In the name of “safety”.

I was hoping the Chinese labs would go ham and just stop putting any safety guardrails at all. It’s much easier to get around them on the Chinese models, but there’s still some minimal ones baked in, sadly.

“Very soon” that’s what’s been said for years now. I too think this isn’t sustainable, but it sure feels like it’ll keep rolling for a number of years.

They are going to be required to have the spyware cameras in 2027 as well. It’s federal law in the U.S. unfortunately. Hopefully there will be some published guides on tampering with and disabling them though.

BS, Monero is the best currency for making untraceable payments full stop. People buy drugs with it but buying drugs shouldn’t be a crime. We need private currency’s that governments don’t control like that. It may not be great in every way but it’s the beat that exists and is certainly used for more than gambling and scamming people.

Rich? Definitely not, more well off than the lower average, yes.

There are millions of ‘gamers’ in the usa who are well off financially, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if it was a normal size shipment and people genuinely just were fiening for it

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i’m on two private trackers that aren’t that hard to get into and I routinely download 10 plus year old 50 - 100 gb files with good seeds. I have never run into something not decently seeded since I went private.

AT&T just bought my fiber provider

This is why torrents are better! I torrent the highest quality files I can find so I’d blow through that 500gb quickly.

Every time somebody brings this up, there’s the same obvious answer. The only real option is to have an external streaming device and to disable or completely ignore the built-in operating system.

I actually find the app is very nice compared to the mobile website on a pixel 9, of course I’m on GrapheneOS so I can enjoy apps from shitty companies without worrying too much about it doing shady things.

Although as of the past week, they’ve been injecting a shop with Alexa ad when you first open the app that slows you down by a few seconds, which is extremely infuriating.

I’m one of those shitty human beings who, unfortunately, orders fairly often from Amazon.

Monero is really the only real anonymous currency, you SHOULD use it and so should everyone else. You shouldn’t be okay having everything you do tracked.

I would love for a less environmentally impactful thing to be invented, but it doesn’t exist yet.

Haha well they may have the same problem with some services just not accepting emails from their url, they admit I’m the homepage that messages often end up in spam

There is no evidence I have seen that Valve supports 3rd party market places, and like I said the steam user agreement explicitly forbids them. There is nothing illegal about their own market place because you are paid in steam wallet funds and steam wallet funds cannot be exchanged for real world money. This case is going to flop, valve will win this one.

Steam wallet funds expressly have no monetary value in the steam user agreement, and it explicitly states in the steam user agreement it’s against their tos to sell items off of their market. So they are covered. Second hand markets exist but it’s without valves support or consent, they aren’t breaking the law. A court can’t compel valve to restrict user freedom (trading digital items) because they don’t shut down websites that they have no ability to shut down.

I don’t think that’s how the law is written though. You can only get steam wallet funds for your skins, steam wallet funds explicitly have no cash value. The transaction at that point is done. A video game also has “real world value” you could just as easily say well I get steam wallet funds and than sell gifted games to other people. I don’t think your argument tracks with the law or steams user agreement.
