    1. Your server is your algorithm. That's what the local feed is for. If you pick a server that caters to your interest, then the local feed becomes a potent discovery tool. That's even more true for non-English communities because English language content is probably going to drown out everything else on the all/global feed

  • GOG now using AI generated images on their store

  • Qobuz at least has adopted a clear stance on AI use this month: https://community.qobuz.com/ai-charter

    We are strongly committed to fighting fraud and apply a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to AI-generated content and AI-driven streaming activities. Our measures include:

    • Detection and monitoring systems for AI-generated content (in development) and fraudulent streaming patterns (effective)
    • Right to remove fraudulent catalogs when issues are identified

    So maybe give them a couple of months to roll out their promised tech. If this charter turns out to be all talk then fuck'em but right now it's (in my opinion) to early to tell

  • Zionists Quietly Back New Gaza Militias Fighting Hamas

  • No it's not. The title of the article is "Israel Quietly Backs New Gaza Militias Fighting Hamas" (emphasis by me). You might say that that's a distinction without difference, but I think it matters on multiple counts:

    1. The term "Zionist" refers to people holding a certain set of beliefs. The group therefore contains more members than the government. Which Zionists are backing the group? The original headline answered the question, the new one does not.
    2. Using the term "Zionist" instead of "Israel" implies a motivation for the actions of the government not present in the original title. The new headline misrepresents the reporting it links to. We are talking about the Wall Street Journal here. Do you really think the would argue that the Israeli government funds Arab militias because of Zionism?

  • SailfishOS has been around since 2013. It's based on an even older Nokia project (from before they got bought and sold by Microsoft). Since then there has been a number of devices running it. In recent years that's mostly been the Jolla C2, a rebranded low spec device by Turkish manufacturer Reeder, and certain Sony phones, such as the Xperia V III. The latter doesn't ship with SFOS but you can purchase a €50 license and install it yourself.

    There are also community ports that are unofficial and don't have all the features (Android app support is missing for example) but run on some other devices. The problem in ARM world is that OS's need to be tailored to the device (for the most part). It's not like on intel or amd PCs. So if you want to run it on your Samsung or whatever, then you can do that. It's just a lot of work.

  • It's somewhere inbetween. For the most part you have a standard Linux userland. The packaging format for example is just RPM. But the shells compositor can currently only properly display Android and qt apps. There has been some discussion at the last community meeting (where the devs answer questions) about improved Wayland support to change that, but that's where we are.

    Furtermore, for drivers and the like some Android blobs are used. There are therefore some Sailfish specific apis that you need to target for some of the functionality.

  • Partially. Servo is the engine that was to replace the one in Firefox. But then mozilla abandoned the project. Since both projects where developed under the same roof, some features where backported into gecko (the engine Firefox actually uses)

    But most of the code in Servo doesn't show up in FF
