Happened to me. Stopped working on GrapheneOS because of some goddamn check they make, but still runs on an outdated /e/OS signed with the Google test keys (i.e. without a proper secure boot). The real fight is to prevent companie

I agree. There isn't even a need to create alternative OSes: they exist. Be it Linux phones or (more realistically for the vast majority of users) AOSP-based OSes like GrapheneOS and LineageOS. The real problem is that: 1. Most manufac

Respectfully, I think this is the wrong fight. And I fear it may be counter-productive, because all the effort put into asking Google to make it a little less painful to install an unverified app is not put into the real fight. IMHO, it sho

Again, I am not criticising the feeling. It's okay to feel the way we feel. I am just saying that when Mitchell mentioned it being "ridiculously dramatic", I think he was not talking about the frustration but rather about the

> I can feel the frustation, nothing dramatic about expressing it I think the "ridiculously dramatic" part is the whole love letter to GitHub, not the frustration. And I think it is fair to say that it is ridiculously dramatic.

So employees are not allowed to distribute the code, but if it leaks, then it is public and the company cannot do anything about it. Correct? That's what happened to Anthropic I think?

Hmm your example is different: if you manually write code, there is a copyright for it whether it is derived from an MIT-licence or not. If you don't own that copyright (because your employer does), then you don't have the right t

One question I have is this: if an employee produces code predominantly generated by AI, it means that it is not copyrightable. Does that mean that the employee can take that code and publish it on the Internet? Or is it still IP even if it

I would say that economy is a weapon already. We even say "commercial war". Putting an embargo on another country, or tariffs, are all adversarial behaviours.

My two cents: I am fine with "discounts" as in "pay less for the same thing", but not with "bait and switch" as in "oh you paid for X? I will just change it to a much worse version of X now that you have p

Why in the world would you get downvoted for this?

The reverse being that as a user, if you use an open source project written by someone you don't pay, don't behave as if you were a customer.

I would go one step further: everything is okay with your side project. You don't want to open source it? Don't. You want to open source it but not build a community? Don't build a community. You don't even have to answe

Kindly disagree. If I don't want to work on a project anymore, I also don't want to spend time finding a new maintainer, or just take the responsibility to endorse a random person on the internet. A fork solves that. And potential

We don't get the same homepage. For me it says "The Large Model Systems Organization develops large models and systems that are open, accessible, and scalable."

Yet another website where I don't know what they do, so I go to the homepage that has a marketing sentence explaining what they do, and I still don't understand. Something with LLMs, obviously.

We knew the situation was bad years ago. And every year, we realise that we were optimistic. And it feels like it will continue like this: it seems extremely unlikely that we discover that our models were actually pessimistic. When we &qu

I feel like it's missing my point. Using a chainsaw is harder than using a manual saw, but if you need to cut many trees it's a lot more efficient to first learn how to use the chainsaw. Now if you take the chainsaw without spendi

When I did not know how to program, neither async nor message passing were intuitive. I had to learn, and now those are tools I can use when they make sense. I never thought "programming languages are a failure, because they are not in

And that was intuitive and easy to learn?

It is a tool. Some tools make you more productive after you have learned how to use them. I find it interesting how in software, I repeatedly hear people saying "I should not have to learn, it should all be intuitive". In every

I share the feeling about technology and social media, but one thing that's different for me is that I never managed to enjoy swiping stuff from strangers. I actually did put effort into getting used to Twitter, Bluesky, Mastodon,
