And why did you pay if i may ask? I would guess it's because if you don't your career will be in trouble because that's what employers value. The current state of affair isn't a random thing. It's because the global

In fields where there aren't too many adversarial players (i'm talking about big industrial companies) like math or compsci things are kind of ok already. Its in biology and medicine where it's the worst. It's obviously

> Seems like wishful thinking to think decentralized open source can beat centralized models that cost 100M+ to train! Because surely price = quality. Solid argumentation there.

I agree with taking this with a grain of salt, but i'm not sure how "this clearly hints at an evil maid attack". At this point anything is pure speculation: evil maid or other pre-seizure compromise, some amount of password g

Maybe i'm mistaken but i believe there's some serious misreading of the original text (of ddvault). I'm pretty sure ddvault knows about the distinction between open source and free/libre and i'm also pretty sure he&

This. Also void and alpine. Which have simple, no-nonsense package formats. We get it that deb and rpm are a hassle to learn and write, but it's completely a false dichotomy to say snap or flatpak are the only alternative. In fact they

So they are using an outdated version because they wanted to stay with permissive licensing.. Kinda fun to see the reverse of what usually happens to a community when a company-led project goes closed source. Definitely got no empathy for w

For a bit of context, for people to compare with eg sandstorm or cloudron: this is a community project, mostly from the french local/community ISP scene. See https://internetcu.be/ or https://www.chatons.org

Very cool. Although bit recognition could be made more robust by using information from all three channels instead of just one. Eg by projecting on the principal component and applying the threshold there.

Wtf? Can't you spin up a vm yourself and go through an installer? A desktop environment is not a distro, it's nice enough already that they provide some vm images. Btw afaik gnome boxes is simply a gui for libvirt.
