Licenses can't be used to stop people from doing evil, especially not the current evil people we have running the show now. This is an insanely liberal solution which is flawed in that it expects people to follow rules which they don't want to and aren't going to follow.

It's concerning how dismissive people are about this change considering this is the first in a long line of adversarial changes to what is a critical piece of software.

It's a pie, not a cake. It's kind of a tradition to make pie for pi day.

People should make their own papers available for free, either on Bittorrent or just upload it publicly in many places (ideally both). It's not like you get anything when people pay to access it from one of these journals.

Your behavior and tone in this thread has been incredibly hostile towards people simply for expressing ideas you didn't like or think was possible. If this is how you respond to people discussing these kinds of topics maybe you shouldn't participate in our communities.

Well let's hope talented members of the community are able to write some custom drivers and crack the firmware. Wouldn't be the first time people have had to crack firmware to get obscure high end obsolete hardware working.

Edit: Okay I get it, you aren't posting this to clarify that this is a challenge for community usage, you're posting telling others not to bother.

I'm just hoping for semiconductor prices to come down, but open source models getting better and having better hardware is a win in my book.

Yeah the problem is that using authlib-injector to change the auth on the server is that it only works with that auth server. If you use ely.by it'll only work with ely.by.

That coupled with the fact that Authlib-injector is prohibitively difficult to set up on servers compared to clients is why people running servers meant for non-premium accounts just use offline mode with a password mod.

Also littleskin.cn is another auth server but it seems like it's only used for skins. Theoretically it could be used for servers but it's definitely not it's primary usecase.

Draconic NEO @lemmy.dbzer0.com 3mo ago

It's really hard to find servers which actually use alternate auth servers like ely.by or littleskin.cn like as actual auth servers and not just a skin server.

I think this is largely for two main reasons.

It's way more complicated and less easy to set up authlib-injector on a server
There's pressure and stigma in English speaking Minecraft communities not to.

If it were as easy to setup on servers as it is on the client, we might see servers that use it in non-English countries like Brazil, Russia, and China. As it is though it's too complex and a password mod that remembers your client username is simpler to set up.

Offline mode servers are way less common in English speaking communities for the second reason. I really wish more people would build them and tell the neoliberals in the Minecraft community whining about piracy to shove it.

It's only really capitalist AI bros who care about this and are crying about it. Most of us are cheering for it because it means more open source models, and OpenAI's wet dream of being able to block people from using AI is dead or dying fast.

Better to be a soft femboy who's alive, than to be a tough military man who's dead.

Sometimes femboys also slay creeps and transphobes too.

If they open source it then that's a win. Closed source models don't help anyone because when the company goes bust they need to be reinvented again. People like to talk about the advancements capitalist industry has made but if they never publish any of it because of "tRaDE sEcrETs" they might as well have never done it because the next person will have to reinvent it when they go bust or kill it for money.

I have and will do so for any more who come up. Thankfully outside of some vote manipulation accounts (which I banned quickly from all my communities) there haven't been any attacks from the Fuck_AI crowd as of late.

It sure is, and this isn't even a great comparison because the satellite view images in each one have differences in color and resolution.

I'll shed some light on the nature of the harassment, they were making fun of one of the mods for being a recovering alcoholic (they literally encouraged that mod to get drunk and kill themselves), they impersonated the mod and acted stupid. They made a lot of spam accounts and posted porn in threads discussing the mod. Many people also harassed me as well in my DMs (porn, death threats, the works). Absolutely inexcusable.

But there is no ethical use of AI.

Let's be very clear here. dbzer0 is anti intellectual property. We do not support IP laws or arguments here, they and their apologists are seen as liberal garbage here. So any of the arguments about plagarism or "sTEAliNg aRT" are not only invalid arguments here, they are not respected by this community, and people here will laugh at you (and probably ban you) for spouting such liberal nonsense in a leftist space. It is baffling how many people come to dbzer0 with these arguments when it's written on our front page that we are leftist-anarchist and fundamentally against intellectual proptery.

Arguments about power and water usage are valid concerns if we're talking about openAI or datacenters. However on dbzer0 people almost exclusively use their own hardware (their own GPUs) or they use computing power from volunteers. That's to say they use consumer hardware. So the environment arguments don't work here. Unless you also believe gaming is hurting the environment, and that we should all conserve our computing power.

Me, @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com and many others have had these arguments often, and no one has presented any other compelling reasons beyond:

Intellectual Property
Environmental Harm associated with Datacenters
Shitty AI corporate practices
