  • Linux license terms

    Jump

  • somewhat oddly, in the real world, a clause like this would make the program no longer free and open source software

  • Switzerland government release full FOSS LLM under Apache 2.0, argue for AI as Public Utility

    Jump

  • It's an expansion to say that LLM training constitutes a derivative work. You are of course entitled to your opinion that it should be the case; all I can say to that is that in the 2000s and 2010s nearly everyone on the Internet tended to argue for more limitations, not further expansions, of copyright law, and I wonder what happened to that attitude.

  • Switzerland government release full FOSS LLM under Apache 2.0, argue for AI as Public Utility

    Jump

  • and yet it is still a legally unsettled question whether LLM training requires a copyright license at all; and it is my opinion that no one should want that to be the case, why would people on the Internet want to argue for an expansion of copyright law?

  • Put it to the right next time, I dare you

    Jump

  • The PlayStation one is the symbol, not the letter, so that one is a bit different.

  • Put it to the right next time, I dare you

    Jump

  • No I don't. I don't have a PS controller and have never had a PlayStation, so this knowledge is much less universal than you seem to think.

  • to my expierence

    Jump

  • I don't see where I said anything that contradicts anything in your comment.

  • to my expierence

    Jump

  • If Google is their default search engine, they must at least be tech-savvy enough to have changed the search engine in Edge, or installed another browser (probably Chrome).

  • to my expierence

    Jump

  • Which "non-techy people" are we talking about here?

    Nowadays some people only use smartphones or maybe tablets, and they might not know that. But most non-techy desktop users still use Windows and they certainly ought to know the default browser (and its search engine) on their OS, I would think.

  • Clock but the PM quit and was replaced halfway through the project. Handover instructions: "Make the clock hands show the current time"

    Jump

  • What does that even mean...? If you know of something specific that is superior about analog compared to digital clocks, I'd like to hear it.

  • Clock but the PM quit and was replaced halfway through the project. Handover instructions: "Make the clock hands show the current time"

    Jump

  • Plenty of people older than Gen Alpha very much prefer digital clocks too. I can read analog clocks but it takes me several seconds to convert it to digital time (which is how my brain thinks). As far as I'm concerned, analog clocks are a relic of the past and it's a good thing to abolish as many of them as possible.

  • Switch to a Fully free Operating System

    Jump

  • Orion Browser for Linux (Webkit-based) Alpha available by end of year "if all goes well"

    Jump

  • Why do I want this? There are already many browsers available, and this one isn't even (apparently: yet) FOSS, so why should I be excited about this one?

  • Would you use this app?: 'Subscription' to FOSS

    Jump

  • such organizations already exist, e.g. Software in the Public Interest (most well known for hosting Debian)

  • The myth of "consensual" internet

    Jump

  • I remember a similar screen, though with the elements beside each other rather than on top of each other because I was on desktop. So yes, Cloudflare's error messages are actually accurate in that regard.

  • Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues

    Jump

  • both lemmy.world and lemmy.ca are working for me right now? Maybe they've come back up.

  • Thoughts on Dropbox?

    Jump

  • likely not either (much) better or worse than any other place where you store your files unencrypted on someone else's computer?

    Not sure what exactly you're asking.

  • What you do with your windows button on your keyboard?

    Jump

  • KDE uses "meta" to refer to the Windows key. Emacs uses "meta" to refer to the Alt key. You are correct that GNOME calls the Windows key "Super".

    This causes some confusion, obviously we Linux users don't want to call it the Windows key, so the best solution is to call the keys "Super" and "Alt", those are unambiguous.

  • What you do with your windows button on your keyboard?

    Jump

  • Mostly the same as Windows, ie for opening the application launcher menu, as well as for a variety of global shortcuts.

  • What you do with your windows button on your keyboard?

    Jump

  • The menu key is a convenient place to put the compose key.
