  • OpenAI Says It’s "Over" If It Can’t Steal All Your Copyrighted Work

    Jump

  • You can sue for anything in the USA. But it is pretty much impossible to successfully sue for "ripping off someone's style". Where do you even begin to define a writing style?

  • OpenAI declares AI race “over” if training on copyrighted works isn’t fair use

    Jump

  • Open AI kind of is a nonprofit. It's a nonprofit entity owned by a for profit entity, which is fucky and defeats the purpose, but that's an argument you'll see people make.

  • Are all the HAMs dead?

    No, but it's a dying breed. Everyone is so used to wifi "just working" that there's little interest in learning basic radio.

    Plus, encrypted data on ham radio is SUPER illegal (and the other hams salivate at the project of tracking down where the illegal broadcast is coming from) so the people with those radio skills don't necessarily know how to make it useful in a wartime scenario.

  • Garuda Linux Introduces COSMIC Desktop

    Jump

  • Garuda is arch-based, so "early adoption of partially completed software" is more of a feature than a bug to some users.

  • CEO of Brave rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros

  • TempleOS is legit super impressive, it's a shame the dude was pretty much insane but also that's probably what it takes to code an entire OS from scratch entirely by yourself.

  • Canada Won’t Scrap Tariffs Unless Trump Lifts All US Levies, Official Says - Bloomberg

    Jump

  • This is how you deal with misbehaving children. Define a boundary (don't do X), establish consequences (If you do X, I will do Y), and then follow through consistently, exactly as you described.

    Ideally you don't have to treat world leaders like they're children, but these are the times we find ourselves in.

  • US deliberately orchestrated Zelensky-Trump Oval Office clash, Friedrich Merz says

    Jump

  • Ok, good.

  • Devils Panties 02/28/2025

    Jump

  • you can't deny, that this makes the whole issue a lot more visible than just doing nothing.

    Yes I can. Because what fucking issue is this about? What are the goals this protest is trying to achieve?

    Making a fuss about nothing, and doing nothing with any lasting effect, is not a protest.

  • 🪨 Rock on 🪨

  • You make some pots for the neighbors, think your work is done, then suddenly it's "Oh no Arkadios we dropped one of our urns and also we want to store extra grain for the cold season" and here I am making MORE FUCKING URNS.

    What I wouldn't give to live in the old days before people had to learn a trade to get by!

  • Google’s ‘Secret’ Update Scans All Your Photos

    Jump

  • The short answer is: Apple collects much of the same data as any other modern tech composite, but their "walled garden" strategy means that for the most part only THEY have access to that info.

    It's technically lower risk since fewer parties have access to the data, but philosophically just about equally as bad because they aren't doing this out of any real love for privacy (despite what their marketing department might claim)

  • Musk called Trump ‘a f***ing moron’ at 2020 meeting at the White House

    Jump

  • There's no way that you can license an online comment like that.

  • Every damn time

    Jump

  • I once broke the table of contents for a manual I was writing in MS Word. Spent like 2 days untangling that mess.

  • Distro and DE recommendations for my specific use cases?

    Jump

  • The thing with Debian distros (like Ubuntu, Mint, PopOS) is that they're extremely stable releases. This does not necessarily mean everything "just works", but rather that they will not experience major code changes that could disrupt a working system. This means that if some apps don't work out of the box, that state is going to be pretty much the same in any distro based on the same Debian version.

    A more "agile" distro might be less stable, but as a result could see some updates to apps that Debian is still lagging behind on. Fedora is probably the "next step" in this direction: it's still reliable but gets updates more frequently than Debian (it's sort of a "proving ground" for code before it gets pulled into Red Hat, which is a distro focused on long-term stability).

    As for desktop environments: I've always thought GNOME was the most Mac-like DE, but KDE has enough configuration options that you can kind of turn it into anything you want. Since this is on a very old laptop, you might consider LXDE, which isn't the prettiest DE, but it's super lightweight and might let you squeeze out a bit more performance if you're wasting a lot of compute power just rendering the desktop.

  • macro

    Jump

  • Man, this infographic is like, EXACTLY why people are scared of Linux, lol.

    It has a lot of good info but it's just so overloaded. Can't decide what story it wants to tell so it tells like 7 of them.

  • Erasure

  • (Beside the point, but Mussolini totally did not run an efficient train network, it was a cluster fuck like everything else he did)

  • Judge orders Trump administration to temporarily restore funding for foreign assistance programs

    Jump

  • Not that there's much reason to be charitable towards Musk, but if you're in the mood:

    Even if you don't think so, they've essentially been grabbing handfuls of cables and yanking then out, no guarantees they even know HOW to restore everything how it was.

  • Is communities discovery really that bad, do we just miss enough people, or should people revisit their expectations and go for more general communities?

    Jump

  • The expectation that a social media that optimistically has 0.1% the user base of reddit, can support the same level of community fragmentation, is not realistic. I've been here long enough to see numerous failed attempts at starting a community for My Favorite Niche, rather than just posting about it in More General Community. You usually get a single "welcome" post by the creator, and then nothing more. If you're lucky, the creator will make a small handful of their own posts before giving up.

    Post about your favorite TV show in a tv/movies community, don't make a new one just for your show. You'll get way more engagement

  • This is my experience playing with FreeBSD.

    "These ports are cool, I can compile all the software from source so I know exactly what I'm getting!"

    [This software has 100 dependencies]
