A little early, isn’t it? I heard Cosmic is still relatively unstable since it’s still in beta.

Wait, why is Fedora making their own flatpaks? I thought the entire point is that they work on any distro and everybody gets the original source from flathub.

I understand it well. It’s still relevant to mention that you can run the distilled models on consumer hardware if you really care about privacy. 8GB+ VRAM isn’t crazy, especially if you have a ton of unified memory on macbooks or some Windows laptops releasing this year that have 64+GB unified memory. There are also websites re-hosting various versions of Deepseek like Huggingface hosting the 32B model which is good enough for most people.

Instead, the article is written like there is literally no way to use Deepseek privately, which is literally wrong.

DeepSeek is open source, meaning you can modify code(new window) on your own app to create an independent — and more secure — version. This has led some to hope that a more privacy-friendly version of DeepSeek could be developed. However, using DeepSeek in its current form — as it exists today, hosted in China — comes with serious risks for anyone concerned about their most sensitive, private information.

Any model trained or operated on DeepSeek’s servers is still subject to Chinese data laws, meaning that the Chinese government can demand access at any time.

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.

“Any model trained or operated on DeepSeek’s servers are still subject to Chinese data laws”

Operated, yes. Trained, no. The model is MIT licensed, China has nothing on you when you run it yourself. I expect better from a company whose whole business is on privacy.

How does this compare to Revolt?

It’s private if you run it locally

Yup, same here. Youtube broke something so you’ll have to wait for an update. Grayjay is still working for me if you need another app to see videos.

Oh sweet. I thought Newpipe stopped development to work on a rewrite, or am I misremembering? Either way, nice to see comments working again.

I believe most of libreddit stopped working, but redlib works great (which is basically just a continuation of that)

That’s awesome, I spent a day fighting with Latex to edit awesomecv without causing errors or breaking the template. Really hope Typst takes off.

I can only see the image though, not the link to your project

Someone bring up that one xkcd strip.

This looks pretty polished though.

The initial implementation of the long awaited easing interpolation modes for keyframes has landed. Expected soon are easing types (ease in, ease out and ease in and out) and a graph editor.

YES! Performance boosts and stability are great and all, but Kdenlive sorely needed proper easing types, the “smooth” easing they had before made it impossible to have decent effects and transitions. Even translating text just looked linear and flat. Maybe I will use open source video editors after all!

The chair video feels like an SCP. I love that they included some failed generations for some nightmare fuel.

Today I learned KDE has an official Lemmy server

> Decide to create a very basic GUI app in Rust, as everyone is saying it’s a great language for it

> First compilation takes over 15 minutes to download and compile 100 libraries

> Debug files take up 2GB of storage

> Output binary file comes out massive for no reason

> “Yeah you’re supposed to write a few lines to optimize for size in your release profile”

> Compiling now takes 30 minutes instead

no general purposd language can guarantee a lack of memory leaks

You’re going to summon every Rust enthusiast on the platform

Unfortunately this project seems like it got abandoned, the last news post was 4 years ago.

This is just speculation based off of a rumor that was never confirmed.

This sucks. Tachiyomi was by far the best app for reading comics, none of the paid options come even close in terms of options or ease of use.

Having to go through the process of merging hurts morale and slows performance. Give everyone on your team the right to force push to master.
