@talon @fireborn What is very interesting about that DoJ article is what it wants you to think but does not explicitly say (probably because it didn't happen).

It says that the free version would constantly pop up ads until uninstalled, it also says that uninstalling wouldn't remove all the files, it mentions those facts multiple times, in close proximity to eachother, but nowhere does it say that the still-installed components would continue popping up the ads, even after the software was uninstalled.

I feel like the DoJ was trying to create that exact impression to make the charges look more dire (this is actually more common than you think), but obviously couldn't say anything untrue, so they had to carefully construct their sentences so that inattentive readers would draw a conclusion that wasn't actually there'

Jak jednoduše získat data bláhových uživatelů? Nabídněte jim neužitečnou blbost, která je cool. Na oplátku dostanete přístup k obsahu všech stránek které navštíví.

Možná žádná data tohle rozšíření nesbírá a neposílá, ale zdrojový kód není k dispozici a ujištění na webu nestačí.

This is a fresh 4K remaster of one of the most brilliant movies I have ever seen.
A+ sci-fi story with breathtaking hand-drawn visuals by a French-Hungarian team from '82.

If you get a chance, watch it.

New scraper just dropped (well, an old scraper was renamed):

Facebook/Meta updated its robots.txt entry for opting out of GenAI data scraping. If you blocked FacebookBot before, you should block meta-externalagent now:

User-Agent: meta-externalagent
Disallow: /

Official references:

This page lists the User Agent (UA) strings that identify Meta’s most common web crawlers and what each of those crawlers are used for.

Obligatory “the W3C/EU effort for a standard TDM Reservation Protocol would solve this by letting sites globally opt out of datamining for purposes like this, without having to play robots.txt whack-a-mole”.

People really ought to support the NoAI and NoImageAI X-Robots tags in the meantime. They probably won’t, though. Unlike the TDM Reservation Protocol, there’s no legal incentive to do so; unlike noindex, there’s no self-interested reason to do so (noindex is often used on pages that don’t belong in search results, like duplicates and non-public pages).

🇨🇭 Switzerland now requires all government software to be open source - @ZDNet

｢ This new law requires all public bodies to disclose the source code of software developed by or for them unless third-party rights or security concerns prevent it. This "public money, public code" approach aims to enhance government operations' transparency, security, and efficiency ｣

The United States remains reluctant to work with open source, but European countries are bolder.

Let me preface this by saying that I do absolutely believe the world would be better if Windows were Free Software, but fsf.org/news/lets-not-celebrat… is a very odd post. The failure was due to a bug in Crowdstrike's code when fed invalid data, resulting in uninitialised memory being interpreted as a valid pointer value, which exploded when dereferenced. Having more access to the Windows source code wouldn't have helped here. If the argument is that *Crowdstrike* should be Free Software, sure!

Let's not celebrate CrowdStrike -- let's point to a better way — Free Software Foundation — Working together for free software

Hey @chikim no pressure, but I do think this deserves your attention, especially in the context of VOLlama: ollama.com/blog/tool-support
Really cool development, I must say!

Tool support · Ollama Blog

Ollama now supports tool calling with popular models such as Llama 3.1. This enables a model to answer a given prompt using tool(s) it knows about, making it possible for models to perform more complex tasks or interact with the outside world.
