Funny thing is that ours doesn't even have PVC in it. We don't have chlorine in our water either.

We mostly have trace sand, chalk, and minerals, but that's it.

But that's the thing, grifters might earn a lot of money with the few gullible people, and then use their wealth for nefarious ends.

I agree with you that some people are just too dumb, but in this age I'd prefer to not let grifters get any chance.

I oppose it, mainly because it takes advantage from gullible people, and opens the door for companies making water expensive.

Tap water here costs £1 per 1,000 L.

£19 a bottle (1 L) would amount to £19,000 per 1,000 L.

So, nope.

Fucking fascists. Whoever shot the reporter deserves to get hanged.

While vaccins are usually spread out over the first ten years of life, babies can and do get vaccinated. I don't know what you're talking about.

I'd say that it'd be fair to give vaccinated people priority of care above unvaccinated people.

Don't want to get vaccinated? Deal with the consequences.

Yes.

Not mandating them will also harm the people affected by the antivax types. Think for example antivax parents who would rather let their kids die than vaccinate. It'll also harm the immunocompressed, who due to lack of herd immunity, will have a high chance of suffering due to these antivaxxers.

I'd also add that there be a yearly checkup of whether the kids at school/daycares/home education are vaccinated or not. The one to do the checkup is prohibited from being a member of an antivaxx movement, and must be medically qualified.

And the following consequences for not vaccinating:

1. 500 hours community time for not vaccinating.

2. 500 hours community service on top of that if spreading antivax ideology or supporting antivax groups, whether fiscally or nonfiscally. They also will be required to follow a course on how vaccination actually works, and take an exam for that.

1,000 hours community time would amount to 25 workweeks (8 hr, 5 days a week).

3. On top of that, a hefty fine of 5% of yearly net disposable income (stocks and non-material wealth included). Kid will be vaccinated also.

4. If the parents/caretakers lied about the kid being vaccinated, kept the person absent for the checkup, or didn't register the kid (so services knows there's a kid that needs to be vaccinated), they will be called to court for abuse. If they still register and vaccinate the kid after that note, the consequences are 1/3rd less. This all also applies for if the people themselves are not vaccinated; they'll be called to court for endangering other peoples' safety.

They are killing people. I say that that deserves a vaccine mandate with enforced consequences.

Doesn't DeepSeek still censor sensitive questions (e.g. about Taiwan and the Tiananmen protests) when ran locally and offline?

Although it's certainly got its merits (being FOSS? and much more energy-efficient than most models), censorship of state violence is still bad.

I wonder how other chat AIs do, concerning that censorship. Grok we already know to be shit, it warps the truth beyond words. Even regarding non-political stuff, its accuracy is trash compared to other models.

How about ChatGPT? Ollama? Kobold? Llamafile? Do they censor stuff?

And Ollama then? Kobold.cpp? Llamafile? Those might arguably be better.
