pretty much, AI (LLMs specifically) are just fancy statistical models which means that when they ingest data without reasoning behind it (think the many hallucinations of AI our brains manage to catch and filter out) it corrupts the entire training process. The problem is that AI can not distinguish other AI text from human text anymore so it just ingests more and more "garbage" which leads to worse results. There's a reason why progress in the AI models has almost completely stalled compared to when this craze first started: the companies have an increasingly hard time actually improving the models because there is more and more garbage in the training data.
I wouldn't say it's a perfectly fine language but I also don't understand the people hating on JS developers. If anything kudos to them for suffering through a language filled with such BS as "==" not actually doing what you think it should do (when coming from other languages).
Imo the other problem is even if you do decide to buy the manga in today's world nothing guarantees your possession of what you just bought. DRM and "only readable in publisher app" are the norm rather than the exception which creates a clusterfuck of a mosaic if you want to legally read the manga that are available that way. Comparatively MangaDex is a single centralised experience that is relatively complete.

Of course they have a couple name. Also: further proof that Urumin only has one fan because the OG shippers steer everyone away from becoming Urumin's fans just so they can avoid the usual "idols can't date" drama.
Same, the only thing talkings to the internet are my reverse proxy and the security cameras (only when viewing them from outside the local network, quite like what reolink does there)
Imo if you're going to be the only one who would use the instance it is not worth it. Instead look for an instance that lines up with your personal interests (maybe check out the db0 instance).
Content federation basically works on a subscription model so you will only see content from other instances if someonen your instance went out of their way to subscribe to it. Smaller instances suffer under this as they might not even see popular communities from other instances.
Note: Moldova also has a bit of a infestation going on, might be interesting to see the Moldovan data split by region. I have a sneaking suspicion that the parts "influenced" by a certain Eurasian autocracy are mostly to blame for the increase
I go out of my way to exclusively spend money with the one publisher I've found who does not put DRM in their ebooks. I spend lavishly with them because good practices need to be rewarded monetarily in capitalism or they die out.
At least here in Germany the bypassing of DRM is so legal they don't even try to get you for it. The only thing they ever go after nowadays is distributing and consuming that cracked content (get logless VPN and that problem solves itself). But if you go and rip Netflix movies for your own enjoyment they have no leg to stand on in court unless you distribute it.
I will never stop being confused by this law. Just crossing the street cannot possibly be illegal anywhere. I'm fully convinced the entire thing is an elaborate joke by the americans.
Over here you can even make copies for personal use or sharing with a close group of friends.
I love the unintended consequences of declaring that the internet is to be treated under the same laws as radio broadcasts. Suddenly being allowed to make a recorded copy of anything as long as you yourself create the copy becomes significantly more important.
The 14th gen didn't only have problems with Linux and I still don't trust Intel when they say they "fixed" the CPUs disassembling themselves. Given the money involved I'd definitely advise against 13th and 14th gen Intel in any case, just not worth the potential headache down the road. Either go with older Intel or AMD.
Und noch ne Salami Scheibe... Ich bin mir dessen bewusst, dass Eskalation möglichst vermieden werden sollte aber es gibt auch das Konzept einer Selbstverteidigung. Russland führt, de facto, Krieg gegen uns und das mittlerweile nicht mal mehr nur digital sondern auch sehr real wie an diesen ganzen Sabotagefällen zu sehen.
Man muss ja nicht gleich in Russland einmarschieren aber irgendwo sollte doch mal ein klares Zeichen gesetzt werden ala "Das Maß ist voll, keinen Schritt weiter sonst kracht es gewaltig" indem man z.B. alle Schiffe die nicht der Nato angehören von Kriegsschiffen begleiten lässt sobald sie die Ostsee betreten. Oder noch besser Schiffen mit hohem Sabotagepotential (welche Schiffe zur Schattenflotte gehören ist ja durchaus bekannt) einfach die Durchfahrt in Dänemark verwehren.
You sure it's a linear corelation? Maybe it's double the trauma four times the fun!
