wow, that could actually be big if openAI loses! Imagine open source chatGPT and Dall-E...

Hmm, i don't entirely understand your point. Buyers are private using Taler, and you can't find out who bought something. You cant trace a coin to its owner. And last I checked, businesses dont pay in cash, it goes through a bank, so the privacy level doesn't change compared to what we do today.

True. However, I think its unreasonable to demand a digital euro that is also private for businesses, as the only benefit from that would be enabling tax evasion and selling illegal goods. There are differences between physical anonymous payments and online anonymous payments. The problem is scale and reach. You cant just send millions of euro in cash to someone in a different country, you can with online payments. That allows for money laundering and illegal markets at a scale never seen before.

So yes, it will be different than cash, but your identity cant be traced, so id call it a worthy replacement.

As long as the right concept wins - yes.

For example GNU Taler could be used for the digital euro. Its anonymous for the buyer, backed by banks and traditional banking infrastructure and fast.

Its also somewhat unlikely to win. Lets hope the people in brussels make the right decision.

Sure. There are benefits to devs without degrees, as they usually start working earlier in their lives so they have more work experience. And hard screening for a degree is probably not helpful anyway, there are other ways to become a proficient developer. You can read about the fundamentals without ever going to a class about it!

Ive heard from quite a few developers that people without degrees in CS program differently than with a degree. CS teaches the theoretical fundamentals that you could go your entire life without knowing and still perform well in a job, but they do help when e.g. building novel solutions, reframing problems into more general problems that were solved 40 years ago, and getting an overview of how everything works can prevent reinventing the wheel.

to add to the other answers, stable cascade isn't open source :(

problem uploading image, unexpected error token :(

is this an open source AI?

That sounds both dystopian and amazing. Bio-neural-CPU's when?

Sounds pretty great! Thats a lot of money for free software projects...

the link 404's.

yeah! Just look at that........beauty....

Yes, it works with any command.

Don't most desktop environments already have this?

If you want to include this as an option when right clicking the desktop, you will probably need to patch this into the DE of your choice, however I think at least KDE has an option for custom right click actions.

I've been waiting a very long time for this. This is the first GNUnet(aka the alternative more private internet stack) project to ever make it out of the prototype phase, and it lays the groundwork for more GNUnet projects. Also, this is probably the best version of the Digital-Euro idea, with none of the privacy drawbacks such projects usually have.

I didnt think it would ever happen!

soooo... you want KNOME?

serious answer: Just like you said, behind these projects are different visions and different goals so it would make no sense to sqash both together. Whats a sensible default to someone is horrible to another.

And open source has no such limit, take the linux kernel for example: a giant project of crazy scope which is free software and works better than commercial kernels. What free software lacks are in my opinion UI/UX designers, which is why many non commercially made free software have wierd user interfaces.

Well, right now its just an unconfirmed theory, but I would say yes, thats exactly what happened.

cool article! However, counterpoint: What is a flake?? The article doesnt say...

Is it like a makefile?
