People love offloading their thinking. They offload to tv reporters, to religions to political parties.. Offloading to AI sounds a lot better IMO.

Another option would be to setup a wireguard server listening on 53. Wireguard traffic is UDP so it would work even if TCP DNS requests are blocked. And it would also make the client configuration much easier, ie just connect to the wireguard server.

Its called soft touch or "rubber oil". It's basically silicone suspended in plastic which gives that soft touch feeling before it biodegrades to the sticky goo..
We can easily clean that with isopropyl alcohol. You will be left with the clean hard plastic below that layer.

Meltemi is ok, but it's "old" and not that good by today's standards.
If you need a good Greek local LLM try https://huggingface.co/ilsp/Llama-Krikri-8B-Instruct.
Yes, I know it's based on LLama and not a foundation model, but it is still a LOT better than Meltemi.

I would highly recommend moi3D.com.
Its ‘only’ a NURBS modeler but I’ve successfully used from initial concept design all the way to DFM.
Its user interface is extremely well thought out and its written by Michael Gibson who is also the original developer of Rhino3D.

I think that the fact that our society was mainly designed (or evolved) to maximize the profits of the people in power as opposed to peoples wellbeing plays a huge part in depression.
Some people just don't fit in our monoculture (school, job, family etc) and all we are offering them are ways to make them fit and become productive members of society which was the problem to begin with..

If you are on macOS you can use the "Network Link Conditioner" System Preferences pane that is included with Xcode for the same effect.
You can find that in the Additional Tools for Xcode download, in the Hardware folder.

You can still use telnet v1.9.4 on macOS. Just copy it from an old version of OSX (pre High Sierra). It still works fine on Monterey.

Yes, thats exactly how i feel. I'd still hate it if my iCloud uploads are scanned but I'm already assuming that anyway.
But the fact that my iOS device can potentially report me to any authorities, for whatever reason, is crossing a line that makes it impossible to ever own an iPhone again. I bought my first one in 2007 so I'm not saying this lightly..
Does anybody know if this policy will extend to macOS too?

Re:macOS gatekeeper and file quarantine bypass
on Monday April 26, 2021 @03:35PM (#26946979)
Yes it cares.
If you rename a folder to folder.app then it will change to look and "behave" like an app. Or if you change the extension of a video file to mp3 you'll loose the icon preview.
Finder does try to help with renaming and when you try to rename a file only the filename is selected and not the extension.
