  • it does block some things, it just doesn’t block everything completely. it’s more of a filter than a block, from what I understand.

    Does piefed instance block .ml?

    if you are on a piefed instance and block a domain, then every person and community from that domain is totally blocked. nothing any of their users post will ever appear to you, and none of their communities will ever show up. it’s a total and complete block of everything from them, everywhere.

    there’s also filtering options. for example, if I never wanted to see anything about Elon Musk, I could add a filter for Elon and Musk and then any posts or comments that mention those words could be either hidden or made so that they show up semi-transparent. I could make it so the filter only applies on the home page, or also in all communities.

    honestly, piefed is just a much better option than lemmy. it’s much more feature rich, and way more flexible than lemmy will likely ever be. the only downside is that there is only a couple mobile clients that have experimental support for piefed. the most popular is voyager.





















  • It’s absolutely a fair comparison. An LLM can’t use any more than 100% of the system resources. neither can a video game. for an individual, there’s no practical difference between being an avid gamer and someone who uses LLMs if you’re comparing environmental impact.

    if you don’t agree, then perhaps you could explain to me how using 100% of my GPU for an LLM is different than using 100% of my GPU for Cyberpunk 2077? both use cases are using the same amount of power, so how is one use worse for the environment than the other? especially since I might use an LLM for a few minutes of work, whereas I’ve had many, many days where I spend 8 hours or more gaming. surely my gaming causes far more damage to the environment than my using LLMs does, but perhaps you’re more educated on the matter than I am and can show me otherwise.
