How Proprietary Vendors Make Open Standards Look Broken

How Proprietary Vendors Make Open Standards Look Broken - FOSS Force
Even when organizations adopt open standards, hidden dependencies can keep proprietary control intact and make open software take the blame.

Technology is politics -- especially in the Age of the Broligarchs.
The People's Movements should be using the People's Software.

"Witzig": Der chinesische #Autohersteller MG veröffentlicht nach Eingang einer #GPL-Klage eine SBOM. Darin enthalten: Der #FOSS-Trojaner

#saic #foss #mg4 | Chan-jo Jun | 26 comments
WTF - ein Autohersteller listet selbst einen Botnet-Trojaner im Lizenzbestand? SBOM-Fail Wer Produkte mit Software in den Verkehr bringt, muss ermitteln und wissen, was verbaut hat. Wer bei der Softwareentwicklung den Überblick verloren hat, versucht mit Tools zu scannen, was zum Beispiel in einem Auto zum Einsatz kommt. Wenn man dann die Ergebnisse ohne Überprüfung veröffentlicht, kann es zu peinlichen Pannen kommen. Der Hersteller vom MG4 hat auf seiner Lizenzliste die Komponente Teardr…

Does anyone know about an overview of #AI policies for #FOSS projects? Or are there maybe even some serious general rules for responsible use of genAI in software development?

Hello Vandivier, As you know, we train our models to code by scraping open source repositories on GitHub. A recent root cause analysis showed that the code in this repository is so bad that it is single-handedly reducing average model performance by 91%. If you had never opened this repository, there is a 21% chance that we would have already cured cancer. …

Hello #AskFedi, I have an old HTC phone that I want to give to my mum and I would like to install a Google-free Android on it. However, it doesn't seem to be a device that is supported by i.e. /e/OS or Sailfish. Does that mean I best forget it or are there other ways to fit this particular phone with a Google-free OS?

I am super tired and frustrated, and I probably shouldn’t say this, but do you know any decent Product/Program Management roles where it’s not all about the senseless push toward AI, and maybe more focused on free/open-source software?
