Yah but community centric GPL to no copyright is sort of the goal for the recent slop rewrites.

If there is no copyright on the slop output code based on GPL code that’s a win for the corps.

It’s all about friction. As long as the user has to pick an instance they will always hesitate to pick any federated service. The average user will always choose the path of least resistance.

Proprietary services spend a lot of time trying to reduce friction, and it works.

The only solution I can think of would be a three part one:

1. The main app of a federated service automatically rotates between a pool or reliable, reputable, non-extremist instances where the user can log in with an email and password.
2. The federated service makes it trivial to migrate accounts amongst instances.
3. the user can log into their instance threw any other instance perhaps threw oauth.

This would of course require some federated account login system. Hard but not impossible. It could be some sort of Casandra style ring based account service where nodes are part of the ring.

This eliminates the new user friction.

1. Download app
2. Sign up
3. Login

It works anywhere any time with corpo style low friction. You don’t need to think about instances at all till you are ready to.

Look at the Jellyfin one. Why is there something breaking the logo from the right? Lots of little things.

Fair. It’s not just that one though. I notice a lot of weird things there.

Why post this ai generated content? Since when does the docker logo have the Cassandra eye in it?

That’s where choosing a community driven operating system comes in. If the provider of the security patches abuses their position the answer is not to drop security. Rather switching providers is the solution.

For anyone reading this, this is terrible advice. The most important that you can do to keep your windows (if you insist on windows) computer secure is to keep it up to date.

This applies for any operating system. Security flaws are constantly being discovered and the security updates are those flaws being fixed.

It’s an older study but the thing security experts said was most important was installing security updates in a prompt manner.

The thing non experts said was important was having an antivirus.

For property software you would be right. Yah.

But it’s open source AGPL stuff. Full time devs improving AGPL code is good even with pointy haired managers.

This all being said I don’t think even the managers aim to become more evil and more terrible as their goal.

I agree that taiga shouldn’t feature Haliburton.

This all bearing said do you really think the people working on Taiga seek to be more evil and more terrible?

I mean, technically they could have hyper agile teams that use taiga there?

When they say agile they don’t mean that the company is flexible and adjusts to new situations quickly.

They mean that those companies are some of the most proficient in Agile software development methodology.

To be fair I see how people can get them confused. But in the context of work tracking they clearly mean the latter. They even use the capital “A” in “Agile”.

Idk. I think using ai to learn Linux as you switch to it is fair ground. In the end they’re free from Microsoft. It’s a win. Just make sure they have data backups.

Because the AI companies will just offer to buy at a higher price.

If you refuse to sell to AI companies you will make a small fortune yes. If you sell to the highest bidder you’ll make a larger fortune.

I’m glad 2e gave her more realistic clothing while honoring her original “aesthetic”

Hello fellow Engram/Engrammer user! There are dozens of us!

Yah. And a CPU to match. Either Epic or Xeon.

Yes but you’ll need special hardware. Enterprise systems use registered “RDIMM” modules that won’t work in consumer systems. Even if your system supports ECC that is just UDIMM aka consumer grade with error correction.

This all being said I would bet you could find some cheap Epic or Xeon chips + an appropriate board if/when they crash comes.

The bios flaw they were exploring was the bios having flawed anti DMA protections.

From the article

According to the company, the Input-Output Memory Management Unit (IOMMU), which protects system RAM from Direct Memory Access (DMA) devices, is not fully initializing upon boot in some motherboard models. This means that even though the BIOS might indicate that Pre-Boot DMA Protection is active, it’s not actually protecting the entire system.

I don’t think it matters.

They are certainly a member of the community.

Choosing MIT over GPL is a political decision that empowers corporations at the expense of the community.

Yah companies can (and sometimes do) choose to give back to the community with MIT projects.

GPL/AGPL/LGPL/MPL 2.0 ensure that they do give back when they take.

I just don’t trust companies enough to use MIT.

Bad news there. Both Nvidia and AMD focus first on ML now days. As a side effect GPUs continue to be able to do raster stuff.

AMDs upcoming UDNA is all about repurposing their better AI focused pipeline. Nvidia has been selling defective (binned) AI GPUs as gaming GPUs for years. They make the ML focused GPU, and if it has too many defects they turn it into a xx90/xx80/dx70 etc.
