For people who really care about open source, this is not.

If both google and apple pull out, who will be your monopolist? And what makes you think that they won't also get hammered with legislation? And even if we assumed that this would be the case, maybe suffering under a "real monopol

And I haven't bought anything from them since. May that company go bankrupt.

I hope so too. Maybe if apple and google finally pull out, the EU will be forced to innovate again. I'm sick of only having two shades of poo to pick from.

A collection of facts is not and can not be copyrightable, especially when it was mechanically derived/collected (no human creativity). So, no, it is absolutely not "Equifax's IP".

For me, it's like GP said: Absolutely no unauthorized network traffic unless strictly required for the purpose of the software (e.g. curl). No security updates, crash reporting, telemetry unless you prompt the user and show the user ex

You don't get to pay other companies to keep out your competitors when you're as big as Google. It's as simple as that.

This. Mozilla is a giant dead tree in the middle of the forest depriving any saplings from the sunlight needed for them to take its place. If the corporation can't exist without Google funding, then it's effectively a department o

This argument doesn't make sense to me unless you're talking about the training material. If that is not the case, then how does this argument relate to the license Meta attempts to force on downloaders of LLaMa weights?

This is the real PVP of LLM for me. Compressing google search AND the internet into 8 GB and download is something unfathomable to me a two decades ago. My hope now is that someone will figure out a way to separate intelligence from knowled

I don't understand. A bad actor can use a linux server to automatically run botnets and exploit new devices. How is that not a force multiplier?

Humanity is so fortunate this "guardrails" mentality didn't catch on when we started publishing books. While too close for comfort, we got twice lucky that computing wasn't hampered by this mentality either. This time, h

Anton Napolsky and Valeriia Ermakova have done humanity a great service and I sincerely thank them for it. They are true heroes. I hope they remain safe and out of reach from the deranged laws and the "justice" circuses that are U

This will backfire against publishers so hard. Now everyone has to resort to piracy.

That's a blatant lie. Regardless of what irrational hate you have towards cryptographic currency, it doesn't change the cold hard fact that it is the best countermeasure legal businesses have today. It exists. It's proven. It

Absolute nightmare fuel. A lot of you here might not like the reality of this fact, but cryptographic currency was designed precisely to guard against abuse like this. It can't protect you if you give your traditional payment processor

Debian is by far my favorite linux distribution, but it's not without its faults. Debian tends to soft- and hard-hijack package names. Normally, having a maintainer between upstream and users is a good thing. What's not a good thi

Ironically, Apple's monopolistic and predatory restrictions on spare parts will still allow this scumbag to make a profit, even after he has failed to access her phone. Had Apple allowed people to access parts, her phone would be absol

Tesseract's true value is being one apt-get command away (i.e. opensource). Does Debian host more modern OCR systems in their repos?
