  • Safe way to update Keychron mechanical keyboard firmware?

    Jump

  • Follow the instructions here to install qmk and the stuff it needs. Then go to Keychron's website (scroll to the 'Download Firmware and JSON Files' section) and find your keyboard. You should then have a .bin file. Make sure it's the right firmware for your model, Keychron have too many models with similar names and installing the wrong firmware will make the keyboard inoperable (not bricked, as it can still be recovered by installing the right firmware).

    You can install this to your keyboard by putting it in DFU mode (remove the space bar and press the small exposed button while plugging the keyboard in) and run the command:

     sh
        
qmk -b <path to firmware file>

    How Ethical is an Open-Weight Self-Hostable AI Like Mistral?

    Jump

  • I'm sorry, but how does this even work?

    Open-weight models (e.g., Mistral 7B) are Apache 2.0 licensed for research/individual use; while commercial deployments require a Mistral license with separate terms for derivatives and production use.

    Apache 2.0 explicitly allows you to sell stuff licensed under it, if there's restrictions to commercial deployments then it's not Apache 2.0.

    To the actual question, most lines about the difference between ethical and non-ethical AI/machine learning stuff I've seen have focused on the consent in obtaining the training data. Eg, ChatGPT or Sora aren't as they didn't get consent for their training data, while stuff like the voice banks Eclipsed Sounds produce are as they obtain consent from the person they train their models on.

    I highly doubt Mistral is getting permission for all the stuff they're training their stuff on.

  • The YouTube video is a real Green Party campaign video, here's the Bengali version of it. Obviously it's just racist fear-mongering though, putting out political messaging in non-English languages like Urdu and Bengali is fairly normal.

  • I've seen other people on Mastodon/Bluesky mention that the site takes an 'anti-censorship' approach to moderation, so there's a bunch of far right people doing Nazi stuff on there.

  • ‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront

    Jump

  • Some dev theoretically might not like a mod decision Valve theoretically makes, so the only logical solution is to expect every single dev that publishes on the platform to commit to moderating Valve's game-specific forums forever.

    Yes, good moderation is expensive. Externalising that cost onto devs is, frankly, exploitative. Also, "a few anti-woke weirdos" is a massive understatement. The modern reactionary movement is heavily tied to gaming and Steam plays a major role in that.

  • ‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront

    Jump

  • So devs not only have to give Steam 30% percent of every sale, but they also have to provide the additional labour of keeping hate speech off the platform in perpetuity.

    If Valve doesn't want to do moderation, they shouldn't have got into the social media business. It's their platform and they're ultimately responsible for it.

  • If you pump enough money into Linux gaming and do regular sales, a lot can be forgiven apparently. Steam Discussions are one of the most miserable places on the internet I go to semi-regularly and I don't understand how Steam just gets a pass for the stuff that's normal there.

  • The best platform for this is unfortunately American, Bandcamp. 82% of all the money you spend goes to that artist (that's what they claim) and if you wait until a Bandcamp Friday, they waive their 15/10% fee entirely.
