  • FOSS programmers, what do you think of horrible people using your software?

    Jump

  • The biggest issue is that there isn't a universal agreement on what causes harm. There is agreement on the basics - murder, violence, etc - but they're already illegal anyways, no need to ban them by license.

  • Rethinking open source generative AI: open washing and the EU AI Act

    Jump

  • upcoming EU AI Act that regulates open source systems differently, creating an urgent need for practical openness assessment

    So when they say "openness" they do put it in the context of open source rather accessibility.

  • Because FOSS shouldn't add burdens. You publish your work and let everyone else use it. That shouldn't add extra obligations on you. Usually, you'd also write some docs - after all, without them nobody will know how to use your program, so why bother publishing - but it shouldn't be an obligation. Make it easy for people to open up their code without this attaching strings.

    Documentation is nice, but it's kind of different thing that open source: a program can be open and undocumented, or closed but well documented - and I don't see why we'd want it different for models.

  • A bunch of these columns are outright absurd TBH, to the extend I'm not sure the author really knows what FOSS is about. What's open API access even supposed to be - API access is closed by definition.

    Also there has never been a requirement that open source software needs to be documented - and for good reason - so I'm not a fan of the documentation column as well.

  • Lindroid is an Android app that lets you run Linux in a container, with support for hardware-acceleration

    Jump

  • However, it also uses halium and libhybris. That means you can't just install your favourite distro and upstream tools. Everything that needs GPU acceleration needs to be patched for libhybris. For example, that means no upstream wlroots - and the latest patched version I think is 0.12 or so.

    Jump

  • Actually, no, this seems to work on a very different principle.

  • Not really. It seems to use a very different technology from termux.

  • Curbing the Karens: Florida reins in over-mighty homeowners’ groups

    Jump

  • I'm confused... Aren't HOA reps elected by the people living in the HOA? And generally, democracy should work better on a local level where people know each other, not worse... So why do they fail so bad?

  • Spotify Premium User Slams App Over Audiobook Feature

    Jump

  • 15 hours for what period of time? The article mentions they'd refill in two days...

  • Llama-FS Self-Organizing File Manager

    Jump

  • I like the idea, but I really hate that they've hardcoded the provider.

  • what if the hacker provided the public key for https connection?

    Jump

  • I'm somewhat skeptical. What if LetsEncrypt decided to misbehave tomorrow? Would the browsers have the guts to shut it down and break all sites using it?

  • what if the hacker provided the public key for https connection?

    Jump

  • It seems to me like a MITM hacker can just redirect all requests to a Blockchain node towards their malicious node.

  • FBI Arrests Man For Generating AI Child Sexual Abuse Imagery

    Jump

  • Actually, that's not quite as clear.

    The conventional wisdom used to be, (normal) porn makes people more likely to commit sexual abuse (in general). Then scientists decided to look into that. Slowly, over time, they've become more and more convinced that (normal) porn availability in fact reduces sexual assault.

    I don't see an obvious reason why it should be different in case of CP, now that it can be generated.

  • [Kvaesitso] Blurred Background, "Reproducible" & "Declarative" Theme on Tablet & Phone

    Jump

  • How do you declaratively apply the configuration? Is that a feature of Kvaesitso?

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • Good point. I'd try to grep for something like [Bb3][Ee3]g[Ii1][nη]\w+<and so on> but I just know I'll miss something

    Jump

  • Oh, in that case we don't need to read either - just run a simple grep!

  • Finally, presumably if anyone added some malicious code in a their program, it would be sneaky and not obvious from quickly reading the code.

  • Is there an advantage of using doas over sudo

    Jump

  • On the one hand, doas is simpler. Less code means less bugs, and lower chance someone manages to hack it and gain admin rights. On the other hand, sudo is more popular, and so has a lot more people double-checking its security. Ultimately, I don't think it matters - when someone unauthorized gains admin rights, usually it's not due to bug in sudo or doas, but other problems.

  • Whats your thoughts on Ai in your terminal?

    Jump

  • AI that can auto generate all those command line arguments I keep forgetting? Sure.

    Closed source terminal that requires account? No way.
