you can still use OpenRC instead if you want, and sxmo will continue to do so by default.

you can read here about why they added systemd.

I’m planning on revitalizing and bringing this old Itautec to the 21st century

I think it was born in the 21st century? From this it looks like the first Celeron M was in 2004, and the first at that clockspeed was 2005.

Also, 2GB of RAM is plenty for many purposes - that’s more than any Raspberry Pi before the Pi 4 had!

They aren’t pro corpo Ai.

They’re very much against the mass scraping/ddos ai companies are doing.

All of the self-hostable LLMs and image generators (or at least, all of the ones capable of the quality people have come to expect for the last few years) people are using today are trained on massive scraped datasets far beyond the reach of hobbyists. There are many so-called “open source” models which are free to modify (eg, by fine-tuning) and to redistribute, but the data used for the initial training (which hobbyists are allowed to build upon) cannot be published because doing so would obviously be large-scale copyright infringement.

Also, even with the data (which in many cases also needs to be labeled/annotated using human labor), the cost of training such a model from scratch is astronomical.

As a pirate myself, I totally understand how, after reading that Meta’s training data included 82TB of pirated books they torrented, one’s first thought might be “🤤” … but to imagine that this makes Meta our ally in the fight against copyright is some temporarily-embarrassed-millionaire kind of thinking.

The Russian trolls are working overtime to justify military action against American people at the objection of the governor and mayor.

For sure, the American people could never be ignorant xenophobic bigots like that on their own, it must be foreigners influencing them and/or posting those comments!

incredible self-own from ArduPilot co-creator Jason Short:

Not in a million years would I have predicted this outcome. I just wanted to make flying robots.

(of course, in reality, many people were discussing weaponization even on the day diydrones was announced…)

also “you may not remove or obscure any functionality in the software related to payment to the Licensor in any copy you distribute to others.” 🤡

FUTO’s license meets neither the free software definition nor the open source definition.

this is a good meme

Lmao that my pedanticism could be perceived as BSD advocacy - fwiw, I primarily use GNU/Linux, I develop GPL-licensed software, and I think GPLv3 or AGPLv3 are good choices for many new projects starting today.

My opinions about the history and future of copyleft are somewhat complicated but I didn’t mention any opinions in the comment you’re replying to - I was just correcting your factual misunderstandings about the accepted definitions of these terms.

Is this a spam campaign?

Five of the eleven comments so far (including one from OP) are all recommending the same service; all five are from accounts less than 2 months old with a one or two digit number of comments 🤔

These articles were stolen, by the paywall operators. Elbakyan rescued them from the thieves. 🎉

encryption would prevent the modem from seeing it when someone sends it, but such a short string will inevitably appear once in a while in ciphertext too. so, it would actually make it disconnect at random times instead :)

(edit: actually at seven bytes i guess it would only occur once in every 72PB on average…)

As I wrote in the thread about this last month on !linux@lemmy.ml:

I wonder how much work is entailed in transforming Fedora in to a distro that meets some definition of the word “Sovereign” 🤔

Personally I wouldn’t want to make a project like this be dependent on the whims of a US defense contractor like RedHat/IBM, especially after what happened with CentOS.

and, re: “what do you mean ‘redhat is a defense contractor’?!”: here are some links.

Have you tried https://mike-fabian.github.io/ibus-typing-booster/ ?

I have not, but I think it does what you’re looking for.

The demo video emphasizes its use as an emoji picker but it was originally created for typing Indic languages.
