If there is a clear example of patent blocking innovation, it's the instant film realm. Polaroid cornered it and when Kodak tried, they got sued and lost in 1986. Fujifilm then thought an agreement, limiting their market.
The whole thing stagnated until Polaroid died and Fujifilm was free and clear out of Japan.
And a lot of the know how got lost, see the Impossible Project.
Looking forward for help. As I am sick of this error & trying.

Für Linke galt es ja stets gesetzt, dass Menschen auf der Flucht ihre Gründe dafür haben werden und Unterstützung als sicher. Aber auch Linke fangen an Geflüchtete zu unterteilen in gute und schlechte, je nachdem wie vereinbar die Umstände der Flucht mit den jeweiligen ideologischen Präferenzen kompatibel scheinen.
Vielleicht könnten wir an den Punkt der bedingungslosen Anerkennung zurückkommen. #LeaveNoOneBehind
Die Kritik an Correctiv ignoriert, was wir über Rechtsextremismus wissen | Übermedien
Die auf Übermedien formulierte Kritik an der Geheimplan-Recherche von Correctiv hat ein zentrales Problem, findet unser Autor. Denn sie will vom Wesen des zeitgenössischen Rechtsextremismus nichts wissen.Andrej Reisin (Übermedien)
In the ongoing saga of trying to return a bottle I picked up at a shop in the station at Sloterdijk. Having failed at a supermarket in Leiden I tried the machine at Utrecht centraal. But apparently I'm too fucking stupid to return a bottle...
This is the machine. I can't work out how to use it. I have up after 5 mins. There seems to be no interactive mechanism. And you need a fucking app to use it ?!?! Which utter ableist fucking moron came up with this idea?
What sort of tourist is gonna bother to download an app to get their €0.15 back ?!?!?

The current state of AI is like if back when pocket calculators were invented everyone started attaching calculators to everything.
Basketball? We stuck a calculator to it.
Bought a blender? Calculator.
Your new hat has a calculator.
Buy a bag of potatoes, it comes with a calculator.
I do not think this is hyperbole

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to take another stab at implementing #Passbook (#pkpass) support in #Catima.
It's going okay but I'm having trouble hunting down test cases, especially test cases with localized strings.
Do you have any .pkpass file you're willing to share with me? If so, please send them to me and tell me if you're okay with me including them in Catima unit tests. Feel free to censor things before sending (but please tell me what you censored).
Thanks!

Our first experiment is complete with fantastic results! Check out the audio sample attached to this post.
For this month, @pneumasolutions provided GPU resources for training. I really appreciate their contribution.
This is just the beginning. To keep training going, I'm still accepting donations. Any amount helps.
I'm happy to receive your donations via PayPal:

Glad to hear this!
For now, I'm not making checkpoints available due to them being unstable.
While initial results are promising, I discovered an issue with FFT parameters. Fixed it, and currently waiting for the server to become available to fine-tune with corrected data.
Upon getting consistent output quality, I'll publish an online demo, and make the pretrained checkpoints available via HuggingFace.
If Codeberg is trying to "compete" against GitHub and GitLab, why does it refuse to take a look at AI assistants? Apart from infringing on authors' rights and questionable output quality, we think that the current hype wave led by major companies will leave a climate disaster in its wake: disconnect.blog/generative-ai-…
Other _sustainable_ (and cheaper!) ways for increasing efficiency in software development exist: In-project communication, powerful automation pipelines and reducing boilerplate.

Tech companies are abandoning emissions pledges to chase AI market shareParis Marx (Disconnect)
@s_levi_s Codeberg is running a single server (~130W) on renewable energy. We know that we can reach more efficiency, mostly because we don't benefit from scaling effects yet.
The difference is more like this:
- we do not encourage users to use more resources, because it would cost us more. Most competitors do the opposite (e.g. recommending the use of heavy CI pipelines), simply because it makes more revenue
- we do not spend any computing power on tracking and unnecessary data collection

Can't be welcomed with bonjour-hi, can't get healthcare in English. No no no.

if that can make you feel better, franco also won't be able to get healthcare. Because the Franco-fascist in charge is also doing all he can to sell it to the private sector after destroying it.
Now I will say "Bonjour-Hi" everywhere. And default to English.

Tip for #android users:
If you search for simple utility apps on #google's play store it will almost always give you a bunch of options that contain ads or ask for unnecessary permissions.
F-Droid is an alternative app store for android devices which exclusively lists apps published under the AGPL (a #copyleft / free-software / open-source license). It's possible to install F-Droid on a normal Android OS via its APK, but that can be intimidating.
Most of the apps on F-Droid are *also* available on the play store. So, even if you aren't ready to fully switch out of Google's ecosystem, you can still use F-Droid's search as a better way to find options that are (in my experience) free of ads and surveillance.
Each app features a page which links to their source code, which usually has a README file, which usually points to their page on the play store.
F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository
F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.f-droid.org

Basic Webxdc support is almost there. If you're on Ubuntu Touch 20.04 (Focal), Mobian or Droidian, check out a pre-release: codeberg.org/lk108/deltatouch/…
Feedback welcome 
More details in the wiki: codeberg.org/lk108/deltatouch/…
This pre-release cannot be installed on UT 16.04 (Xenial), but in the final release, Xenial will be supported.

in reply to Hubert Figuière • • •Not sure what you're looking for in the format.
I'd say square is more unique and "gimmicky", and instant film is also a niche "gimmick" these days, so it's a good fit for general use. And it'd force you to be more creative.
On the other hand, wide would work better for group shots and landscapes. But you're probably going to use another camera for landscapes. But square group shots would *necessitate* having more context around group shots.
So I'm suggesting square, I think? 🤔
