hmm... They seem to have started in 2018, parts of the website says that the first official release will be in the future year of 2021, the download section states that its a "beta", the "history" section stops in 2022, and some text claims that its specifically designed for a computer called the "panther alpha". It all looks a bit chaotic!

They did it. They're passing the worst version of the AI law. Thats the end for open source AI! If this passes, all AI will be closed source, and only from giant tech companies. Im sure they will find a way to steal your stuff "legally".

A lot of drivers for hardware are actually not open source, just unreadable binaries that do ...something. No one knows exactly how they work, so some people consider them a security risk.

I think its because the linux kernel is GPL2, not the modern GPL3 like most free software, so I think thats why some components are allowed to be non-free. Not sure though.

So, that practice violates the spririt of free software. So some distributions have those components removed. Its safer, but you may lose functionality, depending on what computer components you have.

Its an important project, and judging by the other comments here, underappreciated.

go to

~/.config/discord/settings.json

And change "SKIP_HOST_UPDATE" to true

Generally, a free software license has to grant the 4 freedoms to be compatible to the gpl and co.

Freedom 0 is running the program however you wish, for any purpose. Imagine if that wasnt standard for free software, and having to read every license of every program you are using to find out if you are allowed to run it!

So your funny license would sadly be incompatible with other free software. Consider dual licensing it instead, with agpl + a propriatary license for businesses that hate free software, and make them pay through the nose for it.

well... i prefer the old logo :(

just bs. They are trying to come up with an explanation for why altman was fired that is not: we caught him doing lots of illegal stuff.

Die Schlagzeile scheint irgendwie komisch aggressiv dafür was er tatsächlich gemacht hat: Offensichtliche Satire über Verschwörungsschwurbler, und die "überwiegend kritischen Reaktionen" waren besagte Schwurbler die sich auf den Schlips getreten fühlen und, wie er schreibt, bots.

This is such a confusing and messy situation. There is definitely more going on that we dont know about. I already posted this in another thread but:

heres what I think could be going on:

tinfoil hat on

Some Microsoft bigwigs read the OpenAI foundation contract again and realise that they gave them a bunch of money but didnt get the nonprofit, and that they are now fully dependant on them, and that Altman is an experienced shark that knows this. They cant just buy the non-profit, the board would never agree. So they hatch a plan.

They get the lead researcher and a bunch of board members riled up against Altman, with a bunch of dirt they have on him. They tell them hes going to run off with the money and show some proof. The board decides to fire Altman. In the same breath but in another room microsoft hires altman, and promise all openAI employees employment at their new openAI bootleg. They then tell the board through the official channels, that they fucked up and need to resign.

Now, the situation was like this:

• Either the board resigns, and microsoft gets to put some puppets in their place and complete buying openAI
• The board doesnt resign, microsoft gets all their employees and the company in anything but name and openAI slowly fades in relevancy until Microsoft makes a generous offer of 150% above what they are worth(half of their price right now)

either way, microsoft wins.

so yeah, I think the next thing we are going to see is microsoft buying more openAI and getting actual control, or a complete buy.

in nepal posting in "vulgar" language is also forbidden by law, as is stuff like stating that you are poly on social media, so them passing another overreaching censorship law is no surprise.

amazing work. I just changed all my production systems to UTF-Random! �������������������������������. �����������������������������!

some people want to post here but are repelled by "fuck tankies?"

good.

that is the intended functionality of the banner.

Generally speaking, people offended by this are either:

• libs that dont understand the distinction between tankie and communist or have been misinformed by tankies on what its supposed to mean, but are pro communism(wierd combination?)

• the "CCCP did nothing wrong" people

maybe having something leftist in the banner or some place like that could help the former, but I wouldnt remove the message, as it acts as a soft filter for the latter.
