  • Lumo Apps is one thing, Lumo itself is another. The way Proton is marketing this service is truely misleading.

    As a user of Proton I ma really disapointed by their Lumo marketing and the actual reality of the service. Reminds me how they marketed ProtonPass at launch in a different way. I'm starting to think it's a bad thing having them developing such a wide ecosystem of tools. They should focus on a more narrow number and make them stands out.

  • You should check some FOSS, FLOSS communities. Free(dom)/Libre and Open Source Software is more important than Open Source Software itslef in my honest opinion.

    Open Source can be applied to hardware, medicine, lessons, construction blueprints schematics, not only code.

  • LLM are becomming widely used and whoever controll the LLM training control people lives to some extends. It's crazy how people are relying more and more on ChatGPT for conveniance, some even think it is actually intelligent/smart (it is not). LLM have biais because training data and training recipes are not neutral. Governments and big corpos can use this to extend control and manipulate/influence opinion, behavior, etc... They can choose how and what to censor, the point of view of information that could change user perception of it. With closed data and training recipe we can not see how it is made and what rules the models have been following.

    Most open source model only publish the finally wieght model. No training data (mainly because they violate IP, copyright, etc... if you ask me) nor the training recipe, so you only have the possibility to host the model yourself. They slap Open Source on it and voilà... but it often isn't and when it is you can see that it perform worse (because they haven't read all Sci-Hub and Z-Library unlike Llama and ChatGPT for exemple.

    Edit : Clarify some sentences

  • I was really pissed by Proton's marketing on this one. It is so closed and opaque, only the client are open. This is clearly open washing marketing!

  • Open Source is a way to create but is not limited to only software but many different things. LLMs are software. Most open source LLMs are using Open washing to label themselves as Open Source, however it is not. The importance in Open Source is being able to study how it was made and most of open models have closed training data-sets and training method. Apertus is trully open in the sense that they published Open Data and full training details.

    You have the right to be bother by "AI" but let Open Source enthousiasts being... well, enthousiasts when in a field of Open Washing someone created something trully Open Source to the point of sharing it in an Open Source community on a FOSS plateform.

    Edit : Minor corrections

  • Third party launcher, icon pack, gone... Have you ever used Android before?

  • Yeah it is dependant on Google and Google can do censorship. However from personnal experience (maybe it differ in different countries) Google does less censorship than Microsoft at least regarding their search engines.

  • SearXNG instances, bravesearch, startpage, etc...

  • I verified that and you're correct. They also use Yahoo! for ads

  • Wait Ecosia switched from Bing to Google?

    Startpage was the only commercial search engine indexing Google from my knowledge.

  • Yes at four people it's a much faster pace than with only one buddy, hilarious and fun

  • These are PC games (either co-op adventure or party games) than can be played locally and that I have enjoyed myself (in no particular order). Bold ones are my fav.

    • A way out

  • As much as I love my SteamDeck I wouldn't use it for work or study even that I know I could. I have a dedicated laptop for that.

  • Did you tried HeliBoard with the gesturetyping google library loaded in?

  • As there is (prove me if I'm wrong) no current way to dump and decrypt Switch2 games this is a highly probable hoax. I wouldn't consider this to be true and be extermely careful.

  • I would suggest you to choose a lightweight DE, in simpler word everything but GNOME. On my machine GNOME was eating ressources resulting in less FPS around roughly 10%-20% performance loss. But from a distro to another one I haven't seen major gap in my benchmarks. Desktop Envrionement had much more impact

  • Nobara but considering other option such as Bazzite and GLFOS.

  • Nostr and Fediverse are not incompatible, one exemple is what soapbox are doing.

    • this is a lemmy community about F-Droid
