Might want to block the .ml instances if you don't want to see too much weird chinese propaganda... (Tankies are weird).

Leaving this mess behind:

• 100€ x99 dual Xeon motherboard, 3€ cpus
• Add in 4 x MI50 32GB and 128GB of ddr4 (~800€ before the hikes of 2025)

Load up deepseek v4.1 flash q2 and you get opus 4.6 Intelligence at home at good speeds. No snitching.

Or, if you don't mind moving slow, just use your brain ig.

Honestly atp the censorship isn't even the worst of it. Go to Lemmy.ml, say anything bad against China and see how it goes. Many Lemmy communities are no better.

No the worst of reddit is the fact that it's a data-mining operation at this point, with age checks and a complete Mishandling of your user data (everything is indexed and easy to search even if you set your profile to private...)

The economic implosion after that particular bubble is going to be spectacular... Dotcom will look like a road bump in comparaison

If you're conflating UI and UX then I can't do anything for you :P

Their ZCODE harness quite literally got caught zipping up people's entire git trees and uploading them to alibaba servers. I have no qualms with Chinese ai but this specific company is on my blacklist.

So they have an issue with the majority of their devs? Weird

Idk, seems like a fun truck to get off roading with, but probably quite dangerous to drive in a city with... Also basically runs on burning money.

Oh yeah Krita is FAR better than Gimp ux wise 100℅

I haven't heard anything like that except here lmao, good one...

I've spent 3 years learning freecad, and it's bad, it's entirely incapable of holding up against moderately complex projects, a simple fillet can break the whole model. It got better with 1.0 but it's still so very far from competing with fusion or inventor / catia...

As for gimp... I've really tried adding it to my workflow, but it's been a massive headache, I'd likely use photocraft over it given both options...
