Everything I know about #Omarchy I've learned against my will.
Whatever the story in the end will be: it sure looks like Platform Capitalism is gearing up to try and capture parts of the #FOSS ecosystem with their default weapon: flooding morally flexible people with money.

Is there a good #FOSS #animation studio? I'm annoyed that my kids are required to use a big commercial app for a camp that's aimed at teaching them the basics. I'm entirely ignorant here, but I would've thought totally adequate alternatives exist for learning the ropes.

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 #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?

Please delete your repository. When we stole your source code to train our LLM, it got dumber!

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. …

Technology is politics -- especially in the Age of the Broligarchs.
The People's Movements should be using the People's Software.
Contact Patchwork DC and encourage them to live their values by officially committing to using #FOSS and the #Fediverse

Last day (Sep-7) to vote for what talks you want to see at #LinuxDays #Prague.
There are some in English and some in Czech. There are also some very interesting topics around drones, self-hosting, AI testing,  privacy, semantic search and more, and more.

#Proton bietet 8 Android Apps an. 3 (Lumo, Mail, VPN) davon gibt es nur als #FOSS, 3 davon gibt es nur als kommerzielle Version (Meet, Drive, Wallet) und 2 (Authenticator, Pass) gibt es sowohl als FOSS als auch als kommerzielle Version. Keine Ahnung warum.
