VPN firm says it didn't know customers had lifetime subscriptions, cancels them
  • I had this as a lifetime plan. Although it kinda worked, It was never good. Very few servers, very slow speed, god awful apps/extension, and none of the servers close to me. I would use it as a backup of a backup. So the usage was very low.

    They suddenly went dark, idk for how long. Then they came back. I decided to give it a try after I figured I should check if anything was working again. It worked but still shit and even less servers to choose from.

    Yeh, I'm good. Never used it again.

    It's a surprise to me it was listed on sale and probably sold for 6 figures.

  • Baidu’s new multimodal foundation model, ERNIE 4.5, outperforms OpenAI’s GPT-4.5 on several benchmarks—while being 99% cheaper.
  • US companies can start an AI World Championship, ask the government to ban all foreign competition and crown themselves as the world champions every year.

    Those hundreds of billions of dollars will pay for the executive organizers, marketing, branding, celebrity ambassadors and some shit.

    So much winning

  • Imagine if we could swap batteries on the car with these. Daily commute to work in the city? pick the sodium ion version for safety and longevity, lower density but enough for daily errands. Wanna go out for a long drive for camping? switch to a higher density battery without any worry of running out of juice.

  • GIMP 3.0 Released
  • On the contrary. I want to see them reach a wider audience. I want to see FOSS, Linux, and other open-source projects become more accessible and widely available

    then contribute, it's called "open source" for a reason or at least raise an issue where the maintainers can see? Not on some random link aggregation platform about an announcement?

  • history rhymes, or something
  • They were about as “neutral” as they were in the Ukraine conflict under Biden.

    Ah yes, and during Palestine conflict. They ultimately come out on top, it doesn't matter if they're funding a genocide. And people like you just spread around the "good", and hide the actual heinous history.

    Statuses updated and a keyboard | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

    F-Droid Build Status was updated to 5.6.4 and no one will get this update. Why? Well, the app is now built reproducibly so if you have it installed you need to uninstall it and then reinstall it. (Yes, we wish this switch to be easier to perform, but the UI is not there yet)

    Cannot find kbin instances to block

    I tried blocking kbin.social because spammers are posting a lot of junk there but I couldn't find it while searching in "Add instance" search popup.

    is it because it's not a lemmy instance?

    It would be nice if we could.
