I still have a 3D Plasma TV. I haven't found a reason to replace it as it's still going just fine.

You shouldn't have to though. The whole "only available if you happen to live in X" is so much bs when it comes to things like this. Sure if it was a giveaway and needed to be shipped, I could understand. But a website being locked away to only certain regions is ridiculous.

Unfortunately, Claude.ai is only available in the US and UK. We're working hard to expand to other regions soon.

sigh

I feel like the threat to "kill off desktop PCs" has been going for years, yet it has never eventuated. I'm a bit too old and too tired of all the threats/clickbait lately to even start to worry about it actually happening.

If it does, I'll find an alternative, but I very highly doubt it will happen anytime soon.

My lemmy instance is hosted on a 1GB vps with no problem. Even with a few other services on the same VPS.

This has been a problem since well before AI became feasible.

I don't. There is a community I subbed to that has absolutely nothing to do with American politics. The mod of that community keeps posting bs about American politics to that community under the guise of "they used a computer to post whatever so it belongs in this community about technology".

This is on one of the bigger sites and bigger instances. I ended up blocking that community from my personal instance because it was being inundated with a bunch of crap having nothing to do with technology, but certainly had an agenda.

If that was the only community that (supposedly) was about technology, I'd have to find a bunch of other, niche communities to cover what that one does (or should).

Why is this cross posted to the same community so that two show up?

I've run Searxng for a while is there any reason to switch?

No, but some people are stuck behind CG-NAT and can't port forward to the outside world for wireguard. Things like Cloudflared, Tailscale and ZeroTier get past that.

It's of course possible to use wireguard to a VPS and tunnel into that, but that's a bit more technical to set up.

Why is this posted twice?

What does it have to do with technology?

Why is a mod posting this crap into this community? Guess it's time to block this community from my instance if it's going to turn into political crap.
