I was interested in your perspective. You are free to have your own opinions. You blocking me doesn’t really help your case. Runs well with you calling people you disagree with for fascists. Disagree with me and you stop the conversation because I disagree. Great mindset to have a democratic debate - something I would think that you would be interested in, qua your views. Guess not.

Good job! Fighting the good fight

Care to explain or do you simply call anyone you disagree with for fascists? Words matter, so stop pushing this “baaaah everyone in government are fascists”. It is incorrect and honestly tiring to hear (speaking to a relatively large group of lemmies who always throw the Nazi or fascist card when that disagree on politics).

It actually is a problem for small businesses, especially start ups. Not agreeing with the approach but the GDPR law is extremely complicated to find your way around - talking from experience. Support the idea, implementation could be better.

Wtf is “willingness to work from design-first principles”? Do Wired realize that the form of the handle follows the function of designing for better aerodynamics?

Gone

'member when redditors would ALL leave because of the API restrictions? This will have no real effect whatsoever. I’m glad that most redditors didn’t move to lemmy.

Also, only officially browser for MitID is fucking Chrome. Always works with Firefox or libreWolf, though. However, I have contacted MitID two times about issues. They are always referring that I should look at the help page supported OS/browser blah blah. They don’t care about the part of the population that doesn’t use Chrome. Ironic that the same government now screams and shouts about how we have become too reliant on US big tech… Idiotic tech noob politicians.

I don’t consider YouTube to be in the same category as these other streaming services. I use YouTube way more as the content is more interesting to me. But still…

1. Most of the streaming services have subscriptions (some with ads). YouTube is completely free with ads (ublock origin saves the day).
2. Content on YouTube is very different from other streaming services. I know YouTube have dipped its toes in the tv show market e.g. the karate kid series but nothing compared to the big productions like white lotus or lord of the rings.
3. Length of content. YouTube is anywhere from 1 minutes to infinity (almost). Traditional shows on streaming services often is around 45 minutes +/- 15.
4. YouTube had the worst recommendations algorithm nowadays. Seems to be the general opinion yet YouTube aren’t listening.

Probably more points I haven’t thought of.

No, but we haven’t yet seen the influx of proprietary software on Linux.

Say that Adobe, MS and Autodesk enters this space. You think that gnu/Linux will stay on the path of being Foss or will it become more proprietary and closed? Or will these companies fight and use their influence and money to e.g. push for permanent proprietary code in the kernel?

All speculations of course.

No, that’s not what I wrote. But I fear what will happen to the gnu/Linux/Foss community if Linux becomes a land for non-foss. My premise for my concern is that we should fight against non-foss in this space. This is a ideological stands which you may or may not agree with.

It wouldn’t but since these software companies (Autodesk as another example) have a monopoly, I doubt that most windows users for some reason would switch to Foss alternatives - thet already have that ability with windows. I fear that Linux basically becomes windows in terms of what software is primarily used, i.e protritary software.

My premise is that Linux and its user space applications should be free software and that the community should fight back against non-foss in this space.

Rather that noobs stay on win tbh. If gnu/Linux become mainstream, the Adobe, MS etc etc will just move onto Linux. Just look at flathub - how many of the top downloaded programs are proprietary? A lot, e.g. Discord and Steam.

This is a genuine concern that I have.

If only CS2 ran better on linux 😔

But not many and nor are they able to provide the required quantity, as described in the article.

Decentralized FOSS socials are great technical achievements but I feel like the actual product that users will interact with are worse copy cats of already established social platforms. Mastodon is a Twitter clone, Lemmy is a reddit clone, peertube is a youtube clone. I love these FOSS/decen. platforms but the frontend that users actually interact with are just copies of already popular platforms, just with another backend. What innovative FOSS/decen. social platforms exist? Not talking about the backend but the user experience.

Will be screening this for my high school classes!

Love that last line. Will remember.

Agreed. I don’t understand how training LLM on publicly available data is an issue. As you says, it doesn’t copy the work. Rather the data is used as “inspiration” to stay in the art analogy.

Maybe I’m ignorant. Would love to be proven wrong. Right now it seems to me that failing media publishers are trying to do a money grab and use copyright as an argument, even though their data/material isn’t getting illegally reproduced.
