I have many DE's installed right now and I never encountered any problems because of it, these issues sound really bizarre. With the cinnamon thing it sounds like cinnamon mangles something while running, but you would still have this problem if you only ever installed cinnamon, so... ¯_ (ツ) _/¯

I recommentd ext4. Its extremely stable and easy to manage. Btrfs, zfs etc. is overkill for a pure data drive imo.

This guy sounds like he snorted every 60s-70s sci fi at once and now his goal in life is creating the torment nexus. I had no idea that the CEO of Y Combinator(hacker news?) had "friends" like this?

Is this from reddit? No thanks.

mpv can do all of these things, check the manual on how to do this: https://mpv.io/manual/stable/

mpv also exists for android, however the controls are a bit different (because touch controls) and im not sure if you can do all of these things without a keyboard.

Is this xitter drama im supposed to care about?

yeah, the compose key is already standard, just rebind a key to the compose key and it should work.

It doesnt even have a license yet, or a blog post, anouncement, etc. To me it currently looks like someone just leaked their model, time will tell ...

I am sceptical of the idea. If every post had a specific license, it would be a minefield to federate or host, because every post could potentially forbid sharing it, or have other stipulations.

Most posts and comments are not copyrightable anyway. A few sentences are not enough to count as a "creative work". It would need to be your entire posting history, and even then its dubious if that counts as one work.

I propose instead that we do it like wikipedia and others, and that the server as a whole has a license.

paywalled :/

no, thats also the open source definition point 6: No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor.

A license that reatricts use would be a "source-availible" license aka corporate bs "work for me for free" licenses.

Also, with strong copyleft licenses, businesses must give back, namely when expanding the program. I think thats what many programmers like about open-source and free software. And yeah, a free software license is a precondition to bazaar style development.

yes, sorry for the unclear wording.

We do have funding models for open source and free software. The linux foundation for example takes donations from big players. Its not a forced donation like you suggest, but enough companies see the benefit to fund software they use, so it works. The fsf works a bit like that too, a foundation that, among other things, provides funding for important software. So we do have a way do this, but stuff slips through the cracks, like xz.

Generally, a free software license has to grant the 4 freedoms to be compatible to the gpl and co.

Freedom 0 is running the program however you wish, for any purpose. Imagine if that wasnt standard for free software, and having to read every license of every program you are using to find out if you are allowed to run it!

So your funny license would sadly be incompatible with other free software. Consider dual licensing it instead, with agpl + a propriatary license for businesses that hate free software, and make them pay through the nose for it.

I think they are great. Yes, they are a little expensive, but I am really happy with mine, and I've heard only good things about the Stellaris from a friend who owns one.

Damn it. That would have been a strong blow against openai's agressive monetisation if it was a legitimate lawsuit.

yeah, I wrote a "conspiracy theory" of sorts as a comment a few months ago about that as the situation developed. Turns out it was true, microsoft used OpenAI's CEO to remove critical board members, so they get control over the non-profit part of the company that controls the patents/software.

I think it will be released pre-trained if they are forced to make it open source, otherwise they are not actually releasing chatgpt/dall-e, just the underlying technology they used to make it. No idea however if musks lawyers know that.

it wouldnt be useless, most "open source" models work like this. But yeah, having access to the dataset is very important, and in my opinion open source licenses requires its inclusion. However, no legal battles have been fought over that fact yet...

He wasnt that charismatic. Microsoft offered everyone at openai a spot in their top ai division if they signed that letter, with all the employee benefits and clout that microsoft employment can offer. Of course they signed it!
