World News@lemmy.ml•Bitcoin Is Crashing So Hard That Miners Are Unplugging Their Equipment

It’s one thing for a company to train a model with your code and then create a better copy of what you made and sell it for profit (which I think is an unrealistic thing to happen if their codebase is depending on AI slop code), and it’s another thing that an AI is providing access to public information (the code) that you previously monetized to help people understand it better. I really don’t see how that monetization model would have worked regardless of AI existing, at some point there are going to be enough people out there that understand the code that can build documentation of their own for free. I’m not a lawyer but I don’t see how this violates a GPL license either.
The only thing FOSS projects have to be wary of about AI is slop pull requests, but code review still had to be done before LLMs existed anyway.
Also my two cents about the threads regarding Tailwind is that, what FOSS devs wanting to live doing what they do should really hate is not AI making it harder for them to monetize their projects in odd ways, but capitalism requiring them to monetize anything they do for them to be able to live while doing it. FOSS devs should be able to hand out their creations to society without worrying about putting food on the table, their work is no less valuable than that of any engineer working for the big corporations.
apologies for the english I am an american
lmao
Try to think why these supposed “threats” are such a big deal for an alliance of countries so far away from the region to be affected, and you might stumble upon the real reason why they hate China so much.
Spoiler alert, it’s because they can no longer take advantage of China like they did when it was under the boot of the British. They hate that it’s a sovereign country that works for its own benefit, and that their footholds in the region are unable to reverse the course of history as they’d like.

Technology@lemmy.world•CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a PeasantEnglish
1·4 days agoHating on the humanities has been a talking point of the right wing for a long time, specifically because the empathy it nurtures leads to solidarity instead of survival of the fittest mentality. They say that these studies are useless to society, while capitalists are the only class that truly sits on top of society and leeches off of it
Still, adding feds to a group chat is a management issue, same as inviting people to your home
Maybe there’d be some hope for that to happen if everyone in the EU hadn’t been conditioned to be racist as fuck against anyone to the east or south for centuries

Linux@lemmy.ml•Coworker wants to try Linux with gaming, Bazzite or Mint?
5·5 days agoI’d say Bazzite but I would warn him (and since he’s a developer already it might not be a big deal) if he’s looking to do any sort of dev work or whatever with Bazzite then prepare to utilize stuff like distrobox, flatpaks, etc to accomplish stuff like that
That’s what I figured, I would be very annoyed to have to use images for software I would simply do an apt install for in other distros, so I’ll leave out Bazzite from my options definitely

Linux@lemmy.ml•Coworker wants to try Linux with gaming, Bazzite or Mint?
17·5 days agoThis is usually a good idea, but I think Arch would be a bit too much for him
Still, any Debian derivative would be just as easy for me to help and also for him to find help online, so that’s the main reason I’d choose Mint over Bazzite

4·5 days agoujust is not a package manager, the way I understand it from this thread is that it’s just a convenience script that internally will use one of the other methods shown in the doc you mentioned (brew or flatpak for example). So it still seems risky to me not to have access to common linux package managers besides brew
Not talking about its usage as a speculative gambling asset, I’m talking about the blockchain as a part of computer science
Much of historical research was seemingly useless for a very long time until some progress in unrelated fields enabled them to suddenly become very useful. I prefer to be open minded about technology, not tying it to the way its used by the current time and political system we are living in
I think the technology itself has great potential, though capitalism using it for the worst reasons imaginable and making it as inefficient as physically possible will never show us the true potential of this technology.
Under different social structures, it could possibly be a pretty great foundation for new kinds of monetary systems

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is a product or renovations that actually made your life simpler
9·7 days agoA 70 euro KVM Switch that I use to switch all my peripherals between my work laptop and my home desktop at the press of a button. My work has a hybrid office policy, so on the days of the week that I need to pack my laptop or plug it back in, all I need to do is remove or insert three cables from the laptop’s ports only, no need to bend under my desk and move the desktop cable to the laptop. It also means that I can very easily switch between work and personal things when there’s not much to do or I’m waiting for a build etc.




Pretty unhelpful to the discussion, OP is looking for a fix, not distro suggestions
