@Pacrat173 the license is actually a Creative Commons license for Non-Commercial uses. Creative Commons is a copyleft license that's "free to use with some restrictions". Mostly used in art, literature, audio, and film, for my part I'm using it to license my comments. Anybody can cite with attribution, but commercial use is forbidden by the license.
The why: I just don't like non-opensource commercial ventures. Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Facebook, Apple, and so on are harmful in many ways.
Enforcement and legality: Microsoft's Github CoPilot (a large language model / "AI") was trained on copyrighted text source code. A few licenses clearly state that derivatives should also be opensource, which CoPilot is not. So there is a big lawsuit against it. Many artists, non-programmer authors, musicians, and others are also unhappy that AI was trained on their copyrighted works and have sued for damages.
Until these cases make it out of court, it will not be clear if adding a license to comments could even jeopardize commercial AI vendors.
I'm not very affected by it, honestly. It makes me chuckle that people get so offended about a link in a comment. Sometimes I respond, but quite often I block and move on.
The Internet Archive created a program they called "Controlled Digital Lending" (CDL) -- where a physical book is scanned, turned into a digital file, and that digital file is then "loaned" out to people on the Internet. In 2020, The Internet Archive removed what few restrictions existed with this Digital Lending program, allowing an unlimited number of people to download the digital copy of a book.
That was incredibly dumb. It's just baffling that they didn't run this by a lawyer or even a highschooler. They put all their good work in jeopardy for what exactly?
I still believe that serious hoarders who want to ensure other can access it should try to do so anonymously. IPFS, torrents, or something like eMule over I2P would be the best solution for this. Then copyright lawsuits like these would be very very very difficult to do without de-anonymizing people.
Also on an unrelated note anyway to remove live from your subscribed channels update field ? Some channels are filling it with live so i have to really scroll down to see my video feeds and can't find a setting to switch it off. Newpipe didn't used to add live in your what's new feed of subscribed channels, related pic .
Thanks for sharing them. Looking at the thread and the author's responses, it doesn't seem like he's open to changing the name. Not sure if that's off to a good start, but we'll see...
So it works on windows? If so, then it's probably not a hardware issue.
What I could recommend to help track down the issue:
test another distro, if possible - sitting here on NixOS it works for me
test another display manager (aka X11)
test another desktop (KDE, LXDE, whatever)
If it's none of the above, you might need to get your hands dirty
check if it's always the same monitor
check the logs (journalctl --boot -xe) maybe something will jump out
monitor the reconnection of peripherials with sudo udevadm monitor
start it when everything's booted up and everything's plugged in
disconnect problem monitor then reconnect it and observe the output
suspend then wake the computer and check the output
That might give you a hint of what's going on.
There's a change something isn't working in terms of drivers. You can probe her computer with the executable from https://linux-hardware.org/ and share uploaded result here. Maybe there'll be an indication of a missing driver or something.
Dunno yet. Probably depends on the outcome of current legal cases against commercial AI companies. Github/Microsoft was sued for example because of CoPilot being accused of using GPL licensed code without adhering to the provisions therein.
There's always a few people who feel the need to inform me how futile it is, that I'm stupid for trying, telling me to stop, or whatever else people come up with. But for every one of those, I feel like there are more who are genuinely curious and some are even understanding, maybe even supportive!
Just block the negative people and move on 🤷 The license text ain't hurting nobody and anybody triggered enough to insult or mock you about it ain't worth reading anyway.
“The new research embeds some potentially valuable IP / know-how, which we need to protect too,” Gowdiak said. “Finally, disclosure of our know-how / toolset to Microsoft might jeopardize our future projects targeting the Windows OS platform.”
Amazing. He wants to protect hacking IP from Microsoft in order to continue hacking them. Suck it M$!
DRM is defective by design anyway. Once the master keys are out, either a new one is used and all devices with old key baked in are useless, or they have to suck it and be pwned.
movie-web was just taken down with all its repos, Yuzu was taken down, then suyu forked it on gitlab and was taken down, countless clones of nintendo games, platform emulators, and a bunch of other things are taken down because they are hosted on the clear web....
I2P is still slow, but that's because there aren't many nodes. It is faster than a few years ago though. I can get download speeds of 100 KB/s or more. It's like TOR in the early days with mostly private nodes and few hosted nodes. It's easy to get a VPS and host and I2P node for a fiver a month or less.
If they don't honor DMCA, what stops them from suing you? And if they got that far, wouldn't you rather want a DMCA?
Probably staying on the clear web is good for discoverability, but that's a two edged sword, because if you piss them off enough, a DMCA would be the best outcome.
But in general terms, it's anonymization network. Data is sent over multiple hops/nodes and the original source is not included. The nodes are hosted by random people. The downside is that the slowest node in the chain of nodes between the source and the target means that's how slow the entire chain is (at least). So, the more nodes, the better for anonymity, and the faster the nodes are, the better for speed.
I'm looking into hosting one of these for the first time. From my limited research, XMPP seems to win in every way, which makes me think I must be missing something. Matrix is almost always mentioned as the de-facto standard, but I rarely saw arguments why it is better than XMPP?...
Matrix clients are simple, easy, and nice to look at. The matrix server might need more resources, but it comes with everything out of the box. There's no need to fiddle with extensions and their weird naming, and hope that the other server/client also supports the extension. Also, are there bridges to other protocols?
I remember trying to get encryption working on Pidgin and it was all around a bad experience.
XMPP might be as powerful or more powerful than matrix, but nothing about it screams modern. It's like IRC for Gen X'ers.
Go to hell Mozilla. I couldn't care less if your browser fails at this point.
Amen. I use Firefox, but not because it's great or anything. It's just because Chrome/Chromium is worse in just about every aspect I care about. Seriously, I hope Mozilla dies so that it can be reborn by a different org that gives a fuck about browsers, because Mozilla sure as hell doesn't.
Mozilla only wants that sweet Google money they get paid to be the only "mainstream" alternative (500 million dollars per year). They could make the greatest opensource alternative browser and experience out there with that money, but instead they pay their CEO at least 5 million a year.
Rust is literally in the announcement? Did you read it? And there are efforts underway to to rewrite OpenSSL in rust as well as the python interpreter.
I doubt that the license you include will have any influence on people doing scraping for commercial AI :(
That doesn't deter me. It's just a keystroke to insert 🤷 If someday I read that the EU or the US decided anything can be used to train AI, then I'd stop.
