Only way to find out is to do some testing yourself i think. I’m using less tokens with Lumen but I also use a bunch of other tokens hacks/skills; it’s hard to measure the impact exactly but it feels significant

Why would a Christian be trying to stop the Antichrist? Sounds like the faithful have nothing to lose.

What’s the antichrists goal though? Create hell on earth or turn us all into heretics or something else?

It’s interesting because my experience is inverse (b2b software) - the bloated shiny solution what actually doesnt work at all performs better in the market than the sober, unsexy solution that just works. Companies like Oracle or Microsoft

I disagree - it’s best never to talk to users because they have no idea what good quality is and will constantly push you to implement stupid features that only they uniquely need because of their fucked up business practices. Or weaken you

The physical collection doesnt exist anymore sadly. But you are right that many of the my dads CDs cant be found on streaming services. People don’t even realise what they lost, but then again they probably don’t care either way

Almost 90% of what I listen is not on Spotify. Besides being a plight for culture and enemies of artists Spotify is quite a bad collection too.

Nah I know plenty of people who don’t care about venture capital but have been ripping cds for decades

Tbh just recently I found the full extended version box set of LotR on DVD just lying on the street together with ~dozens more decent movies. I could probably fund my viewing habits entirely out of found stuff. As for music; my dad ripped

I want a smaller phone, but am burned out on android; had too many android garbage phones. I’m leaning towards getting an old iPhone mini - but maybe someone knows a better alternative?

No I also think it’s insane how normalised this has become

Yes it does. According to their official stats they have around 45M users of which ~500k are paying customers (of which 1000 are Enterprise customers)

Yea I don’t think this will blow over just because trump (might be?) is gone. Frankly this already started under GW Bush from my perspective and just has gradually gotten worse. I don’t think you can unboil a frog that quickly. This will t

Heck the NSA backdoored our head of states phones - if “NSA wants my data” is your threat model you are pretty much cooked everywhere. Even if you host on your own server and operate everything yourself it’s no big secret that the NSA is li

No longer in operation since 2017, =( edit: wonder if that means they sold everything

IMO it’s hard to see how we would even end up in such a situation given we actually developed AGI. I’m sure a sufficiently intelligent - even if alien - mind can grasp how utterly stupid and useless wars are and take steps to prevent them e

In what scenario would it be rational to unleash complete and utter permanent nuclear destruction of all life (including artificial) life on earth?

Not only is policing not immune against perfidy, but I would argue perfidy is built into the police system as a core tenet. There is a lot of widely available evidence

We should break these companies apart - they should not have that level of power.

Nah but be a little bit more specific than just sprinkling random FUD - what is the relationship and why is it problematic ?

No one is saying that every US company is an evil data hungry entity and EU companies are saints. But fact of the matter is that the US is rapidly sliding into totalitarianism and at the same time US tech companies have an hu huge influence

Mistral OCR is really good and their small models are great for simple translations, I use them regularly. Of course I’m not always on the most bleeding edge forefront of the latest hyped model so there might be better alternatives, but I’m

This means exactly what? I think you would be hard pressed to find any relevant tech company that doesn’t have a relationship with the Saudis or is funded by them - or any government for that matter…
