4 days agoIt looks like it might be one of those blockchain-based marketplaces. I noticed there were a handful of those on AlternativesTo. I skipped em because I have no interest in supporting blockchain stuff.

This matters. I wasn’t sure whether to include a remark about that or not, because in my mind, open-source and federation are implicitly mandatory.
Looking through Amazon alternatives… they all suck so far. Though this Etsy alternative looks interesting:
I just looked it up.
"The AI research company DeepSeek recently released its large language model (LLM) under the MIT License, providing model weights, inference code, and technical documentation. However, the company did not release its training code, sparking a heated debate about whether DeepSeek can truly be considered “open-source.”
This controversy stems from differing interpretations of what constitutes open-source in the context of large language models. While some argue that without training code, a model cannot be considered fully open-source, others highlight that DeepSeek’s approach aligns with industry norms followed by leading AI companies like Meta, Google, and Alibaba."
So fake open-source.
Maybe one of these options are good?

While we’re at it:
That sounds like fake open-source. Can I download the source, build it, have the thing run locally on my own machine, and use it without it having to interact with this company’s servers?
I’m not too informed about DeepSeek. Is it real open-source, or fake open-source?

Also, if we’re going to start shifting blame to capitalism, please tell me how your ideal system of governance would manage to get the current 98-95% of individuals who are consuming harmful and unethical foods to change? Corporations have a lot of blame for the toxic food environment and food deserts to be sure. But also in the case of the food industry, their harmful practices are driven by consumer demand for the most addictive, hyperpalatable foods. Nothing can change without enough individuals choosing to do better.
Dude, orthorexia nervosa Isn’t real. You just have your head in the sand.
Nice! You might like this channel, they specialize in lifestyle treatment of diabetes, and have a book on the subject as well.
So all you can do is resort to ad hominems? Grow up.
You’re basically saying the same thing the other person who replied to my comment said, so see here. No sacrifice, and your characterization of longevity is an unfounded myth. The pursuit of health doesn’t just expand years, it increases quality of life in the here and now. There’s a word for it, “healthspan”. Pursuing health and longevity leads to greater tasting food, because it involves cutting out all the hyperpalatable bombs of added sugar, fat, and salt that fry your taste buds so much that all you can taste is those kinds of foods. Do you even know what real food tastes like? I can have the pleasure of great food, the ecstasy of intense exercise, and the fulfillment of any other of life’s worthwhile joys.
False dichotomy. I can eat all kinds of delicious foods, even having my health and eating my cake, and the best part is I don’t have to perform any mental gymnastics to ignore any guilt or shame about the suffering my diet causes. There’s something poetic about the best possible things for me, being the best possible things for all other beings out there. In reality, you just don’t know what you’re missing.
Yeah, maybe some day. It is one of the thing I keep telling myself I’ll get around to.
The vast majority of breads are adulterated to a point of being virtually fraudulent. At least in the US there is pretty much only two brands of bread that are actually good, and most people have access to only one, if any. Here’s a video that goes into detail about it:
Whole grain bread is okay, depending on brand and quality (Ezekial bread is the only good kind I normally have acess to). Any kind that’s not whole grain (or good quality whole grain) contributes to diabetes risk. That is not love. That is hurt.
If your diet causes harm, too bad. Get used to hearing about, or get with the times.
Hey if it works well for you, that’s great. I hope it keeps working well too.
Now days I have an easier time with games working out of the box on Linux than I do with Windows.
