I outsourced my memory to an AI pin

This part is enough to ensure things are gonna get dystopian real quick. Spoiler: they do, and the thing also fails a lot.

Nice to see Lemmy is not just a place for complete nerds!

FOSS is free and open-source software. In simple terms, it is any program for which the source code (i.e. the actual code that forms the program, its entire backbone) is available for anyone to see and modify as they see fit, without any technical or legal limitations.

This is normally seen as very positive, because everyone with the knowledge of respective programming languages can inspect the program to see it doesn’t do anything malicious, and everyone can change the program to their needs. Also, the original creator of the program does not have power to put any limitations on its use, like introducing payment requirements, or deleting important features, because everyone can immediately spawn a version of the program that doesn’t have these changes, while still having the rest.

Having unchecked unelected power to allocate resources and change the rules doesn’t sit well with most people, I can say.

Who is “us”, in this scenario?

For a lot of things to truly flourish, copyright law has to be appended. But the exception is made specifically for AI because that’s the thing billionaires can afford to develop while the rest cannot. This is a serious driver for inequality, and it is not normal some people can twist the law as they see fit.

It’s not an opposition to tech. It’s an opposition to billionaires changing the rules whenever it benefits them, while the rest has to just sit with it.

The first part of the article isn’t even about seasoning, it’s basically: “Did you know cooking with oil allows for food not to stick?”

Uhm, yes? I also know food can be consumed to reduce hunger, or that washing my hands makes them cleaner. Scary if it’s a revelation for anyone.

Basically, it allows you to steal all the code and use it in your closed-source programs, giving a green light for corporations to use open-source code without giving anything back.

GPL doesn’t allow that, forcing you to open-source anything that was produced using other GPL-licensed code. That’s, for example, why so much of Linux software is open-source - it commonly relies on various dependencies that are GPL-licensed, so there is no other legal option other than sharing the code as well.

At that point, I wouldn’t trust ANY device that cannot be controlled locally, either natively or at least through some hacks.

But then you made them right!

That’s a positive life lesson :D

(Also: just apply a bit more pressure and make sure you keep on doing it up until the lowest point your nails can take, then simply roll it with your palms, squeeze it just a tiny bit et voila! Helped me at least)

That’s a good one

Uh-huh I remember getting quite angry when I figured this out back in the day :D

Careful, he’s a hero

Even better: we could use Wh instead, to not constantly correct for voltage!

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter whose fault it is.

My thoughts

Filelight is about finding the folders you don’t use that take a lot of space. Basically an easier way to look into which folder takes up what.

Obviously Internet speed and call quality, plus there are many good technical changes under the hood, such as proper isolation of calls etc.

Today I learned

You do a lot, and thank you!

I also hope the studios behind the film made sure to pay a solid donation.
