I’m just glad that this is both Top & Hot comment. 🧠✊

Same with Commodore and my Japanese drum machine from the 90s.

Stands to reason that VHS would put that “on steroids”, relatively speaking.

OK thanks um I guess

edit: pixelfed.social - for photo sharing only - is the 2nd largest in most metrics.

Thank you! I’m not religious either.

But I’m sure many cough evangelicals would dispute us. What there’s 200+ languages in the world? Well this was before the tower of Babel. Cherry-picking the bibble.

One should feel sorry for them if they weren’t actively dangerous and harmful.

Thanks. OPs should do that anyhow.

It stands to reason that attacking a few servers won’t stop all of Russia’s hybrid warfare, but it also stands to reason that there is some effect.

In any case, I hope Ukraine continues to succesfully attack (hopefully without civilian casualties) Russian infrastructure. We all benefit from that.

I feel like a child that fell asleep on an airplane and is surprised that the world around them has changed.

I did hear about RISC-V making it onto hardware but what about kernel development?

Not sure about today, but historically I’m sure Katharina Nocun would disagree.

The headline makes it sound as if this was a new development, or as if that’s about all the tracking Amazon does. Neither is true.
Several people in the past decade have investigated what exactly Amazon has on you by asking for their private data.

That said, this really could be news to Verge readers, esp. those that are unable to look for news sources outside the USA’s borders.

tl;dr: it’s about the timezone database (edit: among other projects) which is “maintained by a group of volunteers. Originally founded by Arthur David Olson, the project is now led by Paul Eggert and Tim Parenti.”

I know that this usually comes down to one person doing a lion’s share of the work. This applies to so many FOSS pojects, especially when their impact bleeds over into the non-FOSS world (and by now I think we can include Android in that). Yet the world of FOSS has never broken down even when one of these "one person"s quits. We know. But it might be scawy for people who live in proprietary la-la-land.

Don’t get me wrong, this is important. But I find the article with all its dark javascript magic a little hyperbolic, sensationalist. Even the “plain” reading page is. Gigantic headers, large numbers etc.

I will also add that the tz database isn’t huge, and it isn’t prone to constant change. It makes for great numbers but the whole issue is pretty pedestrian if you look a little closer.

How many parts of closed systems that many people rely on are maintained by only 1 person (who would promptly be replaced by corporate if they quit)? I guess we just don’t have so much data on that because - surprise - they’re not Open.

I could’ve written a similar article, but I would have written it differently.

edit: I stand corrected on the crossed-out bit.
I’ll also state very clearly that I agree with the topic, just not the way it is presented.
And that I was fully aware that this is not only about the TZ databse when I wrote this.

But do they work when you’re already infected? Pretty sure a significant part of MAGA has the rabies.

You can tell your bank and subscription provider to figure it out between themselves and leave you out of it.

Do you trust any bill-sender enough to do that? I don’t.

Just another reason to go to the dark side.

Futureproof comics (and all fiction really) by making the numbers bigger than currently realistic - works only for a little while.

Jellyfin itself, however, will become a household name.

Yes, we want to know how the sausage is made, just like with all FOSS.

what does the community actually expect from devs

Don’t flood the zone.

It really isn’t so long ago when making an app required various stages of completion and testing, usually including other people. I expect from devs that they follow that well-established road and stop with the silly “who has the time” argument I’m hearing so often lately. Sorry, you didn’t actually say that.

Not sure why we should be interested in the Polish though. Are you from there?

I’m feel you’re jumping right into the problem from some tutorial or not-so-common knowledge. We do not have that context.

Is “x11-user” defined anywhere? sddm must know what to do with that setting.

I did notice that, seen strictly logically, there’s an error in my posting this here, but I still feel it belongs.

Anyhow I did do that already

Answering myself wrt F-Droid:

tl;dr: the situation appears very similar to what I describe in my OP.

• They seem very focused on fighting Google’s recent shenanigans and getting funded, and FOSS of course.
• I found no mention of AI whatsoever in their CoC
• I found no mention of AI whatsoever in their list of anti-features, and this seems to be the biggest indicator to me.
• Not in their Blog either (by title, going back one year) but my search engine gave me this article, which seems to have been removed since: Home much of F-Droid is LLM-generated.
• There’s a forum post asking a similar question with some very predictable drama. Straight out the door some “contributor” ridicules OP’s reasonable question in that typical, passive-aggressive smiley emoji coder way. Just what I have experienced. Thankfully other “contributors” at least see the value in pondering these things. While the question is never fully answered, the thread contains some interesting links to how other FOSS projects position themselves.

I found an important clue in the latter:

the watered down "Open Source AI Definition” that Mufelli pushed through the OSI.

https://opensource.org/ai/open-source-ai-definition

Straight away I don’t agree with it:

Why we need Open Source Artificial Intelligence

I’m guessing this is to be seen as a quasi-official stance to AI that most F(L)OSS will adopt or at least base their own policies on…

Et tu, Brute?

It is strange that their paranoia allows them to use LLMs at all.

The AI hype is a sickness, and it’s spreading.
