    Andy Yen (the CEO) supported one single choice trump made, because he felt it would be good for little tech and bad for big tech. He never stated he supported trump or even the republican party as a whole. The whole thing got blown out of the water by redditors attacking the comment with no regard to context because every single thing a republican (and especially trump) does has to be evil, even if it’s good for us. Ignoring the fact that Proton has publicly criticized trump on a number of occasions and donates millions to liberal organizations.

    Here’s a great analysis made with sources and reasoning provided throughout the whole thing, with the author ultimately concluding that they believe Andy is far more likely to be a liberal than pro-trump or MAGA. Again, with actual sources and reasoning rather than one context-less tweet.


  • How good’s your computer? Running locally is always the best option, but an 8-13GB model is never going to be as good as the stuff you’d find hosted by major companies. But hey, no limits and it literally never leaves your PC.

    You can find models on Huggingface, and if you don’t know what you’re looking for, there’s a subreddit where they have a weekly discussion on enthusiasts favorite models. I don’t remember the sub’s name, but you should be able to find it easily enough with a google search like “reddit weekly AI model thread”. Go to the poster’s profile and you’ll find all of the old threads you can read through for recommendations.
