You could also ask users to type the words fuck or shit in the description somewhere. LLMs cannot do that AFAIK.

OK, it’s not code but still fun though.
ChucK is a “programming” language: https://chuck.stanford.edu/
It’s a dead-end job because of PHP. But if you insist on using that language, drop all AI usage and learn with some good code, and add some CI/DevOps automation to clean and check everything.
Your code is shit, you are stressed and anxious, you have no devops and most likely no best practices, and you exclude people who don’t comply with your shitty behavior? Sounds like an awful company. Are you proud of something?
3·7 days agoby excluding the relevant terms
Terms like US, politics, Trump, Clinton, Army, Militia, Vance, Bondi, Kinder eggs, Oklahoma, etc. It seems painful. As I said, tags are a PITA and create spam.
you even like that, because you can’t be bothered with reality
Go back to reddit please.
Some people don’t want to be bother by politics and/or US-centered stories. On every forum it was allowed, users were flooded with those topics. You can see [email protected] if you want that (it’s in the side bar).
It’s a weird pseudo-scientific scale based on feelings, a bit like horoscopes. I don’t know why they still use it.
There are tags on Piefed it seems. But it’s always been a mess, and ends up with people putting a lot of tags on their own posts to spam. Moderation is good enough on Lemmy. I don’t think you need to complicate things further.
It already happened when the French government gave private health data to Microsoft. The same government is now furiously backpedaling. I’m sure they still got their bribes.

To run AI models locally, you’ll need a computer with a capable CPU, sufficient RAM, and a powerful GPU
While it’s possible to run some AI models on a laptop, a dedicated desktop setup with a powerful GPU will generally offer better performance. The cost of building a dedicated AI PC can range from around $800 for a budget build to $2,500 for a performance-oriented system
Hope that helps /s
Same answer as that other guy. I tried Pop OS for a few months, and while the automatic tiling is tempting, it’s really buggy even with the new version. Linux Mint is the easiest IMHO and looks a bit like Windows 2000. I love it so far.
