#News reports coming on from DeadBirdSite that #ElonMusk is apparently upset that people are calling #Tesla #ElectricVehicles "#Swasticars", after his open and flagrant use of #NeoNazi rhetoric and the #Nazi salute at Trump's inauguration last week.

The bigger question... Can we make #Swasticar the new trending hashtag for talking about #Teslas on the #Fediverse?

You do know that the Chinese fought with the Allies against the Axis powers in WW2?
in reply to RustyFreewheel

@RustyFreewheel
That really doesn't mean anything. What the Chinese government (not simply "the Chinese") wanted at the time was for Japan to stop aggressing upon them and committing genocide against their people: this was the Asian theater of the Holocaust, in which millions of Chinese people were murdered, and was part of the lead up to Pearl Harbor.

Rolling forward, the current Chinese government is very corporatist, very much treats the people as assets in some sort of capital gains scheme, where the state and its wild conservative values are Supreme, high-ranking members of the party rake in profits, and the individual is simply subject to them. This is the same as in North Korea, which is also a fascist adjacent government.

Remember that very few of the governments who called themselves communist actually embraced communist ideals. These people are running their countries on ideologies that are much closer to fascism.

in reply to Raccoon🏳️‍🌈

So same as USA - corporatist, treat the people as assets, wild conservative values are Supreme and high-ranking oligarchs such as Heir Musk rake in profits...
in reply to Raccoon🏳️‍🌈

It is a little insensitive to state that the Chinese participation in W2 "really doesn't mean anything". It has been estimated that China suffered 14 million casualties during World War II, i.e., about 30x greater than that of USA.
in reply to RustyFreewheel

It doesn't mean anything in the sense that Stalin also had massive losses in World War II, and that his ideology was similar enough to Hitler's that people thought they might be able to compromise. Keeping mind also that the Chinese government that primarily fought against the Japanese was not the communists, they were rebel forces in the western part of the country: the group that fought against the Japanese were "Nationalists", much more close to fascists, who the Communists were fighting against.

Since then, the "Communists" have taken over mainland china, had the Maoist revolution, and then decades have passed in which they embraced capitalism as a method of empowering and enriching the party. What they have right now is much more similar to fascism than it is any sort of communist ideology, just as the North Korean government is effectively a fascist one.

People can have the same ideology and still fight. Fascist fight each other constantly over which group is superior.

So now you are saying the millions of Russians that died in WW2 also "really doesn't mean anything". I am betting you must be an American!
in reply to RustyFreewheel

@RustyFreewheel
I feel like you are altering the context of what I'm saying to the point it's hard to believe you aren't doing it on purpose.

The question was how Chinese government could support fascism when the fascists committed genocide against their people in the 30s, and I am saying that, in both the 1940s and today, both the Russian and Chinese governments were and are close enough to fascism to resemble it. Fascists have compatible belief structures in that they believe in rule by the strong and the supremacy of their races, but they inevitably conflict because they disagree on who that is that should be in charge.

So yes, it is irrelevant how many Russians and Chinese died in wars with fascist aggressors, or even how many of their own people died because of their own fascist movements: that doesn't make them any less fascist.

in reply to Raccoon🏳️‍🌈

I quoted you directly, you wrote Chinese participation in WW2 "really doesn't mean anything". I posit that Chinese people are just as deserving of empathy as Americans. History shows that most often it has been young, working class men that are the victims of ideologues and oligarchs.

Meanwhile the World watches as the USA President threatens to invade Canada, Greenland, Mexico and Panama. The USA rhetoric against other nations while pervasive is hypocritical. The USA has a long history of Slavery, medical experimentation on people of colour, Racial Segregation and interference in the governance of other countries.

I suspect that the Chinese Government, possibly in response to the 'land of freedom' imposing exorbitant tariffs, may at some time decide they have no interest in making swasticars for Heir Musk and will repurpose the Shanghai factory and who could blame them.

fantastic article about the #DeepSeek brouhaha with gems like this that shows why true innovators make do with what they have:

❝ So was this a violation of the chip ban?
Nope. H100s were prohibited by the chip ban, but not H800s. Everyone assumed that training leading edge models required more interchip memory bandwidth, but that is exactly what DeepSeek optimized both their model structure and infrastructure around.❞

seams the 1990s #AI team went retro in coding… 🧵

in reply to your auntifa liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦

which brings me to this:

❝ R1 undoes the o1 mythology in a couple of important ways. First, […] it exists. OpenAI does not have some sort of special sauce that can’t be replicated. Second, R1 — like all of DeepSeek’s models — has open weights (the problem with saying “open source” is that we don’t have the data that went into creating it). This means that instead of paying OpenAI to get reasoning, you can run R1 on the server of your choice, or even locally, at dramatically lower cost.❞

in reply to your auntifa liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦

YOU CANNOT OPTIMIZE ANY SOFTWARE FOR YOUR DATA UNLESS YOU CONTROL IT. that’s why you need to have that software running on your own computers/servers.

there is no omniscience.

there is no such thing as a brain, person, computer, robot, god that knows it all. not even the judeo-christian-islamic god knows it all. just read damn GENESIS which is canonic for the 3 religions.

so an all-knowing #AI is bullshit techbro smoke and mirrors. it’s a 100 billion dollars article of faith… 🧵

Gerne, hier ist eine Alt-Text-Beschreibung des Bildes:

Das Bild zeigt eine große Halle, die mit vielen Menschen gefüllt ist, die in Reihen sitzen und auf eine Bühne blicken. Im Vordergrund stehen mehrere brennende Kerzen in Glasbehältern. Im Mittelgrund stehen einige Personen, die scheinbar an einer Zeremonie teilnehmen. Im Hintergrund ist ein großes Publikum zu sehen. Die Atmosphäre wirkt würdevoll und andächtig. Das Bild könnte eine Gedenkveranstaltung oder eine ähnliche Zeremonie zeigen.

Hier ist eine Beschreibung des Bildes für Menschen, die es nicht sehen können:

Das Bild zeigt eine Gedenkveranstaltung, die in einer großen Halle stattfindet, vor dem Hintergrund eines Nachbaus des Eingangs des Konzentrationslagers Auschwitz. Die Halle ist mit zahlreichen Menschen gefüllt, die in Reihen sitzen und stehen. Im Vordergrund ist ein Sarg zu sehen, um den herum mehrere Personen stehen. Die Atmosphäre wirkt würdevoll und still. Die Architektur des Nachbaus des Konzentrationslagers ist deutlich erkennbar und bildet einen düsteren Hintergrund für die Veranstaltung. Große Bildschirme sind an den Seiten der Halle angebracht. Das gesamte Bild vermittelt einen Eindruck von Trauer und Erinnerung.

New #blog post: Playing around with Deepseek (NSFW)

Content-warning: there's strong and sexual language, as well as reference to some (IMO unpleasant) celebrities in this post.

After seeing a post by @alecmuffett recently, I decided to play around a bit and see just how censory #deepseek is.

Most of the answer is unsurprising, but it also turned out the #LLM's ruleset is surprisingly liberal in other areas

If Elon Musk wants to cut $2t from the US federal budget, there's a pretty straightforward way to get there - just eliminate all the beltway bandits who overcharge Uncle Sucker for everything from pharmaceuticals to roadworks to (of course) rockets, and then make the rich pay their taxes.

Facebook and Twitter censor Linux-related content

According to the DistroWatch newsletter they have received multiple reports of Facebook users having their accounts suspended for talking about Linux.

I predict that this is just the beginning of a US government crack-down on people who want to break away from the corporate-controlled propaganda, and the surveillance technology built-in to Apple, Microsoft, Google (Alphabet), Facebook (Meta), and Amazon products, or who want to run their own federated web services. It is only a matter of time before ActivityPub is classified as “terrorism.” TikTok was only the beginning.

Starting on 2025-01-19 Sun Facebook’s internal policy makers decided that Linux is malware and labelled groups associated with Linux as being “cybersecurity threats”. Any posts mentioning DistroWatch and multiple groups associated with Linux and Linux discussions have either been shut down or had many of their posts removed.

We’ve been hearing all week from readers who say they can no longer post about Linux on Facebook or share links to DistroWatch. Some people have reported their accounts have been locked or limited for posting about Linux.

The sad irony here is that Facebook runs much of its infrastructure on Linux and often posts job ads looking for Linux developers.

Unfortunately, there isn’t anything we can do about this, apart from advising people to get their Linux-related information from sources other than Facebook. I’ve tried to appeal the ban and was told the next day that Linux-related material is staying on the cybersecurity filter. My Facebook account was also locked for my efforts.

We went through a similar experience when Twitter changed its name to X - suddenly accounts which had been re-posting news from our RSS feeds were no longer able to share links. This sort of censorship is an unpleasant side-effect of centralized communication platforms such as X, Facebook, Google+, and so on.

In an effort to continue to make it possible for people to talk about Linux (and DistroWatch), as well as share their views and links, we are providing two options. We have RSS news feeds which get updates whenever we post new announcements, stories, and our weekly newsletters. We also now have a Mastodon account where I will start to post updates - at least for new distributions and notice of our weekly newsletter. Over time we may also add news stories and updates about releases. Links for the feeds and the Mastodon account can be found on our contact page.

Twitter need to focus on removing content such violent content such as the video the idiot in southport watched before killing 3 children, and attempting to murder a further 8 more children and two adults.

Facebook needs to also focus on similar content.

With this, I feel safe assuming that Microsoft's Recall is a direct line to the Gestapo surveillance apparatus.

Here is a description of the video:

The video opens with a close-up of a red Ferrari racing jumpsuit. The logos of several sponsors are visible, including HP, IBM, Shell, and the Ferrari logo.

The camera then pans to two silhouetted figures standing back-to-back against a red background.

Next, the video shows various shots of Charles LeClerc and Lewis Hamilton, both wearing Ferrari racing suits. The video intersperses close-ups of their faces with shots of their suits, and other shots of them in what appears to be a photoshoot.

The names “LECLERC” and “HAMILTON” are visible on the backs of their respective suits.

The video includes several quick cuts and transitions, with some shots having a slightly distorted or glitchy effect.

The video ends with both LeClerc and Hamilton standing side-by-side, arms crossed, in their Ferrari racing suits. No audio is present in the video.
