Note that the Qur’an burnings is not what they were on trial for, but for what was said during the events.
Also, Tingsrätten is filled with laymen and almost always appealed in these kind of cases.
Criticism: Bundling together
Freedom of expression expert Nils Funcke believes that there are still question marks about how far freedom of expression extends.
– If you look at what Momika and Najem say in the transcription found in the preliminary investigation, I would say that Najem speaks about the Koran, about Muhammad and about the religion of Islam, and I think that falls within a broad freedom of expression.
I think that Najem and Momika’s statements are lumped together and thus Najem is blamed for what Momika said.According to Mark Safaryan, Salwan Najem’s lawyer, the verdict will be appealed.

I am very happy about Proton/SteamOS and how they assist in making games playable on Linux. I hope the SteamOS devices become popular enough that developers stop trying to shut Linux out.
I’m not looking forward to what will happen with Steam when Gabe is no longer around though.
Having one big marketplace/launcher might be comfy right now but that can turn into a nightmare quickly when there’s a new owner in town.
Personally I’m trying to buy any game I can on gog.com instead of Steam. Both to get my own offline installers and to ensure not all my eggs (games) are in one basket. I launch more games from Lutris then Steam today.
I have a similar setup to @PieMePlenty@lemmy.world in regards to my home network and I wouldn’t dream of removing my wifi network. I still consider wired to be superior though it rarely matters at those latencies.
My Windows laptop on wifi:
My Fedora on wired network:
wired level speed and
reliability.
While WiFi is a lot better nowadays I’ve never seen it reach the reliability of wired networks.
Yeah, the glaring problem of having to share your phone number is gone too:

OpenAI does not make hardware.
Yeah, I didn’t mean to imply that either. I meant to write OneAPI. :D
It’s just that I’m afraid Nvidia get the same point as raspberry pies where even if there’s better hardware out there people still buy raspberry pies due to available software and hardware accessories. Which loops back to new software and hardware being aimed at raspberry pies due to the larger market share. And then it loops.
Now if someone gets a CUDA competitor going that runs equally well on Nvidia, AMD and Intel GPUs and becomes efficient and fast enough to break that kind of self-strengthening loop before it’s too late then I don’t care if it’s AMDs ROCm or Intels OneAPI. I just hope it happens before it’s too late.
That do sound difficult to navigate.
With OpenAPI OneAPI being backed by so many big names, do you think they will be able to upset CUDA in the future or has Nvidia just become too entrenched?
Would a B580 24GB and B770 32GB be able to change that last sentence regarding GPU hardware worth buying?
I don’t have any personal experience with selfhosted LMMs, but I thought that ipex-llm was supposed to be a backend for llama.cpp?

Do you have time to elaborate on your experience?
I see your point, they seem to be investing in every and all areas related to AI at the moment.
Personally I hope we get a third player in the dgpu segment in the form of Intel ARC and that they successfully breaks the Nvidia CUDA hegemony with their OneAPI:

All GDDR6 modules, be they from Samsung, Micron, or SK Hynix, have a data bus that’s 32 bits wide. However, the bus can be used in a 16-bit mode—the entire contents of the RAM are still accessible, just with less peak bandwidth for data transfers. Since the memory controllers in the Arc B580 are 32 bits wide, two GDDR6 modules can be wired to each controller, aka clamshell mode.
With six controllers in total, Intel’s largest Battlemage GPU (to date, at least) has an aggregated memory bus of 192 bits and normally comes with 12 GB of GDDR6. Wired in clamshell mode, the total VRAM now becomes 24 GB.
We may never see a 24 GB Arc B580 in the wild, as Intel may just keep them for AI/data centre partners like HP and Lenovo, but you never know.
Well, it would be a cool card if it’s actually released. Could also be a way for Intel to “break into the GPU segment” combined with their AI tools:
They’re starting to release tools to use Intel ARC for AI tasks, such as AI Playground and IPEX LLM:

EU is behind the restrictions for vaping liquids, not Sweden. :)
https://health.ec.europa.eu/tobacco/product-regulation/electronic-cigarettes_en
Yeah, they had started limiting what you could buy in Sweden as well. My last time mixing I bought a silly amount of 18mg/ml 10ml strong menthol bottles and large 70/30 PG/VG bottles and ended up with my own 3mg/ml mixture that still tasted menthol, although not as overwhelmingly so.
I think part of it is something else - ease of use and ease of access.
The “world that makes sense” product exists already:

While I was vaping I mixed my own liquids though, as the cost savings was immense and I could easily lower the nicotine mg/ml on my own until I quit it altogether.
I imagine the youtube link is about the following:
Discord is firing back against MapleStory devs over copyright infringement and users are caught in the crossfire.
I download both windows and linux offline installers when I buy games at gog.com, it’s one of the reasons I buy there.
And I was impressed by Seagate launching their Mozaic 3+ 32TB HDDs…
Obsidian Entertainment has gone from Fallout: New Vegas where you were free to kill anyone, even at the cost of disrupting main quests, to Outer Worlds where most of that freedom is still intact to Avowed where the freedom to do evil choices is either taken from you (npcs not reacting to being shot in the face) or having no impact (npcs ignoring your stealing of money and food in the tavern).
I agree with your thought that it’s a directorial choice, not attention to detail, but it’s one that goes in the complete opposite direction of what the studio is known for.
