Computers and the internet gave you freedom. Trusted Computing would take your freedom.

it tries to check which instances are offline, to only redirect you to working ones. reddit can be redirected to libreddit/redlib, which makes reddit unable to track you, and these frontends are also much lighter on resources (ram, cpu, network traffic, cognitive load)
on windows all terminals are cursed
except that the model is not offline if you access it through yet another online service, doing who knows what with your data
and that is not what I was complaining about
which probably also collects and keeps everything you say in the chat. just look in ublock origin’s expanded view to see their approach to privacy, by having a look at all the shit they are pushing to your browser
of course, move the ducking goalposts! buying a big yacht is also achievable, technically! but very little of the people can actually do it.
don’t forget what did OP say:
failing to make it clear that the reason people love Deepseek is that you can download and it run it securely on any of your own private devices or servers
don’t believe me? look at the post text. this is as large a misunderstanding as the Eiffel Tower. Virtually nobody can run it on their private devices, that fraction of a percent is basically a rounding error.
I’m so tired of this fucking bullshit. but let’s hate proton for it if that’s what’s trendy!
as I said in my original comment, it’s not only VRAM that matters.
I honestly doubt that even gamer laptops can run these models with a usable speed, but even if we add up the people who have such a laptop, and those who have a PC powerful enough to run these models, they are tiny fractions of those that use the internet on the world. it is basically not available to those that want to use it. ot is available to some of them, but not nearly all who may want it
it is certainly that. but recently its become very trendy to hate Proton, so its just easier to do that instead of thinking. I’m really disappointed in this community
What??? Whoever wrote this sounds like he has 0 understanding of how it works. There is no “more privacy-friendly version” that could be developed, the models are already out and you can run the entire model 100% locally. That’s as privacy-friendly as it gets.
Unfortunately it is you who have 0 understanding of it. Read my comment below. Tldr: good luck to have the hardware
im not an expert at criticism, but I think its fair from their part.
I mean, can you remind me what are the hardware requirements to run deepseek locally?
oh, you need a high-end graphics card with at least 8 GB VRAM for that*? for the highly distilled variants! for more complete ones you need multiple such graphics card interconnected! how do you even do that with more than 2 cards on a consumer motherboard??
how many do you think have access to such a system, I mean even 1 high-end gpu with just 8 GB VRAM, considering that more and more people only have a smartphone nowadays, but also that these are very expensive even for gamers?
and as you will read in the 2nd referenced article below, memory size is not the only factor: the distill requiring only 1 GB VRAM still requires a high-end gpu for the model to be usable.
so my point is that when talking about deepseek, you can’t ignore how they operate their online service, as most people will only be able to try that.
I understand that recently it’s very trendy, and cool to shit on Proton, but they have a very strong point here.
the reason might be is that freetube can only proxy your usage over a server when using invidious, otherwise it needs to connect to youtube directly, making it possible for them to track you by IP (and by logged in users using yt from the same IP)
Pretty sure roku ones don’t allow to be used until you accept their terms online
system apps have whatever permissions they want, and you can’t remove them. so much for easy permission management, when the adversary is the manufacturer
well only if that becomes possible at all
No more upgradable storage, no easily swappable batteries, no more repairability and no more brick like durability.
that’s your Modern Approach
the change is to signal a modern approach to the ThinkPad range
framework exists now
that’s true but they are quite expensive.
in my opinion its only better with an alternative frontend, if it works well enough. because it cannot add any more datapoints than instagram could, but a good lightweight frontend will add much less, because I won’t need to worry about my mouse movements and page scrolling pace being recorded. uBO and such wont be able to protect against that
that’s ok if you want to publish content. but frontends are for a different purpose: you were never able to use them for that, they are for viewing instagram content
did you try pixelfed? It’s basically a selfhostable, federated instagram
btw, my university (EU) teaches blender
that role is usually not held by SDDM, though. I think that’s handled by plasma or kwin, but not exactly sure about that part
