You are fighting a losing battle. I understand why you think that, but the organization that owns the trademarks of open source do not agree with you (or me). I also disagree with that organization’s definition of open source AI, but they own the legal right to define the meaning of “open source” in the technology trade, the trade in which they own the trade mark. But laws are laws and you either abide by them (as a corp, what are you gonna do?) or don’t (fuck yeah, commit crimes).

Weights are the only thing you’ll get from “open source” ai. You need to look for stricter legal definitions to meet your understandable criteria.

I started using Twitter in 2009. It was just techy people back then. Things are allowed to take time and grow organically.

IRC and email isn’t dead and they are completely anonymous. Web ain’t gonna die. TCP and UDP ain’t ever gonna die. HTTP ain’t ever gonna die. HTML ain’t ever gonna die. JSON isn’t even part of the web but it de facto is now. At this rate JS ain’t ever gonna die unfortunately. The web is safe. The internet is safe. Everything is open and it can’t be taken away or killed.

Think of it like climate change. The internet is going to be just fine. Its whoever is trying to benefit from digital IDs that will go extinct on it, and the internet will have healed itself from them.

Where Linux?

Ah, I see. It’s moreso like “people from this location put currency symbols after numbers” not specifically dollar signs. Like, we put currency symbols before the numbers in American English eg “Oh, that’s $12.00” or “Oh, that’s €12.00.” A german, writing in dutch, would write “Oh, das sind 12,00 $” or “Oh, das sind 12,00 €.” Many more countries do this like Poland, the Netherlands I think, etc. It’s pretty common. But like the other user said, in Quebec specifically (because French lol) since they use the canadian dollar and the canadian dollar is $ for them (though, in the US we just use CAD instead, so we’d write CAD 12.00 in america whereas a canadian would write $12.00 in canada for the same currency)

So many lol. There’s lots of ways numbers are formatted across locales https://cldr.unicode.org/translation/number-currency-formats/number-and-currency-patterns

They can’t just say “it’s puppet” because trademark. So they have to advertise as “alternative to the leading” blah blah to enterprises. This is absolutely targeted at enterprise to buy support, so gotta be legally friendly.

Sure, but people cannot cry about a service disappearing when disappearing resistant technology exists and just needs attention. Like, it’s being worked on, either help or get out of the way and quit complaining

Open source is anarchist socialism. This whole platform works because socialism works. The internet is made up of protocols that people aren’t required to implement but do because they’re good ideas that are well thought out and work and were created without force or threat of violence like threatening the right to sue for damages even. Bad ideas get worked on and fixed. Look at Wayland in Linux, a complete volunteer driven effort that got funding because it was a good idea. No one forced all Linux desktop environments to switch from x11 because a new law got signed, but instead volunteers were like “thank you for fixing x11 in your free time.”

But nope, property doesn’t exist, guess it’s broke!

Can you post pictures of a tank event in the 80s in China without censoring? Can you talk about these protests ?

You’re arguing with tankies. You are attacking China in their eyes. You are fighting a losing battle because you cannot convince them China has major faults and blemishes and systemic issues like the US.

Ain’t never seen someone from @lemmynsfw.com in the wild lol but u r beautiful

Daring fireball is a very popular blog. The guy invented markdown. He’s a very known Apple apologist. It’s not wrong for someone who knows Daring Fireball to assume anything he says positively about Apple or in defense of Apple has potential for his fanboy bias.

A reminder that cops can’t be sued for the same negligence. Also a reminder: punch up, not down

I’ve been satisfied with IRC, that was social enough for me as an autistic kid yes. I’ve not had the luxury of developing a high standard of social interaction for my daily life.

I understand normal people are not willing to give up those unnecessary things like centralized and profiteered software. I think it’s hilarious and laugh at them:) I enjoy the 3 or so friends I text regularly and the people I meet in real life. I understand most people aren’t willing to live within those means, but that doesn’t make it any less funny.

Yeah and i love laughing at those people cry about it going away like bye

I’ll stick to my FLOSS stuff like I’ve been doing since 2017. Fuck off corpos

I say co-opt it back to its original leftist roots. I don’t mind calling myself a libertarian instead if I’m talking to a right winger who’s scared of anarchists and then just say “the socialist kind”. It’s a conversation starter to introducing a right winger to how one can believe a market free from capitalists (the best kind of free market) is actually not the worst idea ever

I do not miss CRT tvs

You can say fuck you to America without supporting other capitalist or otherwise authoritarian nations, and instead support anti capitalism by using decentralized networks. I won’t slurp on Winnie’s hunny pot to say fuck you to Uncle Sam, but you do you lemmy.ml

One is open source and doesn’t steal your data. The other may or may not, who knows?
