Could you imagine not having the social freedom to wear whatever the fuck you want without having someone else loudly judge you and tell you how to act?
/u/BruceTwarzen I hope you move to a better country from that shit hole you currently reside in and heal.
Use Serge because the other options people here have linked requires an API code or has some closed source bullshit and/or phones home your telemetry you type in the prompts and/or collects your use data (especially LM Studio).
She either had a very bad home life which motivated her to desperately go with anyone willing to take her away, or she was very dumb. Either way, parents sound like they suck.

My real worry with Google's voyage into enshittification (thanks to Cory Doctorow @pluralistic the term) is YouTube.
Through YT, for the past 15 years, the world has basically entrusted Google to be the custodian of pretty much our entire global video archive.
There's countless hours of archived footage — news reports, political speeches, historical events, documentaries, indie films, academic lectures, conference presentations, rare recordings, concert footage, obscure music — where the best or only copy is now held by Google through YouTube.
So what happens if maintaining that archival footage becomes unprofitable?
Unless the public puts literally billions of dollars into funding and expanding public libraries to catalog all this video media into numerous publicly owned gigantic server farms that maintain the capacity to upgrade digital storage indefinitely, all video media is doomed to stay with privately owned capitalistic multinational corporations that are influenced by foreign governments to censoring various things at will, and all video media is destined to die forgotten and overwritten by future shitty memes and useless influencer garbage.
If your DNS sinkhole is down, your modem/router/host operating system settings (and even the PiHole itself) should allow a fallback. If you didn't set that up and don't know how, then you should consider not using Pihole until you know what you're doing.

In summary, he is saying China is not there yet, but they are going to get big enough to eat our lunch and we can't do shit about it, so we might as well start getting on their good side or we'll get fucked in the long term.
Close up shop, boys. Looks like Godric@lemmy.world knows better than the entire US Department of Defense.
You should definitely call Biden and let him know all the Ivy League college educated generals, expensive million-dollar think-tank groups, and hundreds of experienced advisors are all wrong in their assessment of China.
Who said any of us here are trying to solve problems?
You sound like what we are talking about here is to resolve global issues like we are a bunch of dudes in a fucking cabal of globalists and as effective as Facebook "Thoughts and Prayers™️"

You are assuming that the quality of life in the USA is shitty enough to warrant a desire to become a CIA counter-intel agent living their whole life in the shit hole country of Russia.
You are fucking delusional to think anyone wants to volunteer for that job long term and give up western amenities forever. This is why Russian and Chinese intelligence agents try to volunteer for this in droves: their own country is a literal corrupt homogenous uninteresting shit hole.
I guarantee your morbidly obese ass would never give up their comfortable life to do something so difficult.
What I'm about to say to you is serious and not sarcasm; the only way you will ever be able to afford your own home within your own lifespan is with a serious major market crash, and the only way for the market to crash hard enough for home prices to drop significantly enough for you to afford it would require a World War 3 level of global conflict, including massive numbers of people dieing in overseas wars and complete blockades of global trade between nations.
This is what happened for the Baby Boomers caused by the Greatest Generation fighting in World War 2, this is what needs to happen for you to have any remote hope to buy a house. Otherwise, inflation will continue to rise along with increased global market stability until the day you die.
