Privacy benefits aside, does qubes run better than a typical vm like virtualbox? I tend to fiddle with distros a lot and I feel qubes might be a good choice, though I'm wondering about how efficient it is

I'm looking for ones that ideally don't log IP. Is there a guide somewhere that looks into each of these instances and whether or not they fulfill the privacy promise?

I'm most interested in Invidious.

It isnt pseudoscience, theres some papers out there on locked in syndrome and they have a system that is very good at reading thoughts with something like 75-85% accuracy. Requires very sophisticated and large equipment to use though, and it has to be trained on each person individually (through things like yes/no answers with blinks or focusing on saying one word, so its not some sort of thing that can just be automatically done, it requires a great deal of consent and concentration on part of the staff and the patient). Its very possible this could be downsized and made more available in the decades to come, its still in the early phases.

I want to ungoogle myself as much as possible, but I've found that Google Maps is by far the best dataset for maps. I can search 'fast food' and it'll pull up anything related to that near me. I've tried things like OrganicMaps, and while it is blazing fast and very private in comparison to Google Maps, it unfortunately does not have the best information.

Are there any apps that are kind of like a proxy/nitter like frontend for Google Maps and it respects privacy? Are there any ways to just straight up rip data from Google Maps and pull it into another app?

AI actually can be very good at translating things locally while keeping tone and intent, and thats what mozilla mentions here. I'm fully down with AI powered local translation tools native to firefox, it'll put it way above the competition

Some LLMs are low enough in resource usage to do this on weak and older PCs

Dug up their survey for it out of curiosity, you can find their original post here https://hexbear.net/post/2226865

Idk how the guy with photoshop knowledge hasn't learned about inpainting, clone stamp, and content aware fill. feels fake off of that bit.

Imo the biggest benefit of AI is artists using it to speed up their workflow. I for example use it to mimic brushstrokes found in real oil paint art that would be insanely difficult to replicate in photoshop, fill in backgrounds, or to make a sketch I made while I was bored more than a sketch I forget about in a week

There are lots of people that do this prompting stuff with zero knowledge of computers or art and its very telling. If you train your own loras, use controlnet, inpaint with various tools, these things are all easy to fix. For me though, I hate taking orders when it comes to art, even when I'm doing it by hand, so obviously it will never be a job for me, just a hobby and sometimes people buy my shit.

those first 3 months or so of covid were bliss. every office drone was off the road. it was so fucking easy to get everywhere, and it was quick too

for real. im new to lemmy but places like hexbear seem really good for trans stuff. i hate how so many trans places are dependent upon facebook or reddit to exist. facebook itself is problematic because those fuckers already assisted a genocide in myanmar, whats to stop them from helping to massacre trans people here?
