@ErikJonker “AI is for a large part opensource” means nothing. Which AI? Which tools? Which models?
Llama 2, Bard, Claude 2, GPT-4 are not open source at all.
It’s time to be lucid: this type of tools don’t help users, kill the planet and are based on stolen materials only to make some companies earn more money. That’s all.
@pylapp ... we can't enforce that this technology can and will not be used, that's a fantasy. A lot is closed source but also a part is opensource, everybody can implement and use it on their own.
#OpenSource#FLOSS#Crypto#Cryptocurrencies#Bitcoin: "The P2P Rights Fund aims to support various legal efforts, including subsidizing defense counsel, sponsoring amicus briefs in pivotal cases, and financing affirmative impact litigation to set favorable legal precedents. Additionally, the fund plans to offer free or subsidized regulatory advice to developers working on non-custodial Bitcoin tools.
The initiative is in direct response to recent legal actions that have raised concerns within the Bitcoin community. Developers of non-custodial tools, such as hardware wallet creators and transaction node operators, are increasingly being treated as financial institutions, which is seen as a fundamental misunderstanding of the technology by the government."
Time, use and practice are key to switching OSes, platforms and apps: you get comfortable with what you use. A good start to moving away from Microsoft Windows might be to install Libre Office on Windows, and start learning to use that for your daily word processing, presentations and spreadsheets. Take some steps with open source software before you even have to tackle a new operating system. #floss#foss#freesoftware#recall#quitwindows#quitmicrosoft
Doe je iets met #opensource, #openstandards of #opensystems dan moet je erbij zijn. In november heb je weer een kans, want we organiseren 2x
p/jr een conferentie.
We zijn een vereniging, dus je kan lid worden! Zie: https://nluug.nl
Nein, niemand muss sich dafür entschuldigen (bei wem auch außer sich selbst? ;)). Aber jede*r sollte sich des eigenen Tuns bewusst sein und dann auch dazu stehen.
Victim Blaming ist der falsche Weg. ;)
Beispiel: Du nutzt das problematische Programm xy, obwohl es gute Alternativen gibt? Dann steh dazu, dass dir deine Bequemlichkeit lieber ist als deine digitale Souveräität und die der Menschen, mit denen du digital in Kontakt bist. Und suche nicht nach Ausreden.
Does anyone know a #FLOSS and perhaps self-hostable music scrobbler? Something similar to last.fm ?
I do not want to post every music I listen to here on my mastodon account, but it would nice to be able to share what I'm listening to with friends and family.
@fl0_id Thanks, but that doesn't address the gap ripping out #Sonos will leave - which is the actual speakers (ideally with line-in)/multi-room for the most part.
Depending on how big the gap is, I'm willing to contribute money as part of a crowdfunding effort to build up one of the #FLOSS alternatives to replace #Sonos with, possibly including someone building a hardware business to sell some neat audio relay boxes (with or without an AMP, I guess).
I really don't get #Sonos. Instead of alienating their (nerdier) customers, imagine they had an official local extension API:
A lot of #FLOSS developers would recommend them to everyone (b/c most of us can't be bothered to deal with sleek hardware or patented shite like Dolby/HDMI), and they could just leave the local library handling (which they obvs hate) to someone else.
That'd be a marketing boost and give them a platform lock-in.
Instead, they're doing whatever it is they're aiming for?
