Bad decision Fedora but it was expected when IBM/RedHat is basically fund it. Maybe that is what corporate client of RHEL/IBM wants. IDK. There are many other distros that bans AI/LLM but many contributions of Fedora ends up in upstream projects like Kernel or DEs.
Hi all, I wanted to share the outcome of today’s Council meeting regarding this proposal. After several weeks of discussion and incorporating feedback from our community into better revisions of the initial proposal, the Fedora Council has approved …
Human code reviewers of Fedora project can only address questions of quality, fix security issues, or address missing functionality in AI code slop. It cannot answer questions about legality or licensing or even trace origin like:
> Where did that AI code come from? > What licensing does AI created slop follows? Can you put it under GPL? > So who actually wrote the code? Why person submitting putting their name on top of it?
Говорят: "Занимайся тем, что нравится, и деньги сами к тебе придут". Я налил себе шампанского, выпил, поел, посмотрел фильм, поспал, опять поел... Где мои деньги?!
Was tun, wenn die Audiospur rauscht, knackt oder fast unbrauchbar klingt? Genau an diesem Punkt kommt Auphonic ins Spiel, eines der bekanntesten Tools zur au...
Point. Wir hatten dazu gerade ne kleine diskussion, und stimmen dir zu. Mal schauen, wann wer dazu kommt, die ca. 90-100 Stellen in the deutschen translation-strings konsistent zu ändern: app.transifex.com/delta-chat/d… -- die werden in allen apps verwendet.
es ist jetzt in Transifex geändert. In zukünftigen app releases wird auf allen Plattformen geduzt werden aber noch nicht in den 2.22 releases die grade auf einigen plattformen ausrollen :)
DDR5 and DDR4 RAM prices spike as memory makers focus on meeting AI demand. One memory pack we bought for $52 is now $114 on Amazon. pcmag.com/news/this-is-insanit…
Re: latest boosts about KDE Plasma 6.5 and accessibility, I think that brings me one step closer to choosing KDE Plasma when I take the plunge into Linux as my desktop OS. From what I've heard, it sounds like KDE Plasma might be more familiar to a long-time Windows user like me than GNOME.
Or I might still jump in the deep end, forego the full-blown conventional desktop environment, and choose the niri Wayland compositor (github.com/YaLTeR/niri), which also implements the keyboard monitor feature required by Orca.
As for choice of distro, I think I want to jump on the immutable OS bandwagon, rather than use the conventional fragile writable root filesystem with a package manager trying to keep it clean. So, maybe Universal Blue (universal-blue.org/).
Universal Blue manufactures a diverse set of operating system images to provide the the reliability of a Chromebook, but with the flexibility and power of a traditional Linux desktop.
Out of curiosity, what does that desktop environment offer that makes it advantageous for screen reader users? Or do you have enough vision to use monitors as well as Orca?
@neal Seriously thinking about it. Yeah, I could create the perfect stripped-down configuration that works for me, using a light Wayland compositor like niri. Or I could be part of something bigger that will be usable by a lot more people.
I guess the question is whether the familiarity will be a benefit or a stumbling block when it's still different, i.e. will the differences be more annoying if the rest is familiar, which is mostly a personal consideration.
Zorin is based on GNOME but looks like Windows. It lags a bit behind in versions, so the recent accessibility improvements are probably missing. Flatpak apps shouldn't be affected though? I'll likely move my parents to Zorin soon - they've been using Windows since 95. Curious how it will go.
KDE is on a roll lately, and keeps on rolling with today's release of KDE Plasma 6.5. As the project itself notes, this release focuses on relatively small improvements, refinements, and other niceties, without making any massive changes. With Linux desktops taking accessibility more seriously lately than ever before, I want to focus on the accessibility improvements first.
Wow! Its alarming to find out that something is making a sound, and you're not hearing it. Someone sure can though, over a VoIP link, over an air distance of three feet, with a 57dB noise floor, through a Rode NT1-A, connected to a Mackie ProFX 12 V3. It seems that something in my environment is constantly squealing at some untold high frequency. I'm not hearing it. They did. This individual shall remain nameless, but they sure as hell have a gosh darn good ear! And mine suck! Now I have to find this unheard squeal.
@BorrisInABox Oh boy. That sucks. I'm still way behind on Mastodon, but still climbing the mountain slowly but steadily. I'm sure I'll read whatever you put out about it eventually. But I hope additional recovery is possible and proceeding well.
@BorrisInABox Three in a month? That's just insanely unlucky. Unfortunately, its RAID's utter grand canyon-sized pitfall. Recovery procedures, in effect, work to destroy the functional stock, which then further degrades the situation, and in one further brutal act of unluckyness, the situation could be that recovery is not yet complete by the time more disks give up the ghost from being hammered to death. Should this go beyond the fault tolerant number of disks allowed by that RAID level, its all gone. But I'm glad your luck did not extend to utter brutalness in this situation.
@VE3RWJ 14k would be a dream. I'm at about 7.5k on the right, and less than that on the left. So I very much can't hear it. What I can and will do, though, is play with filters and varispeed.
Got the seating plan for tomorrow's grand gala and awards ceremony (where I will get the gold medal) and I'm now busy googling my table neighbors to figure out the high society people I will get to rub myself with.
Around 700 guests are apparently coming to this fancy thing.
@enno I'm gonna do my usual: explain that I write code that runs everywhere that sends data back and forth that I give away for free. Only to realize that people generally don't have any relation to any of the words I used to describe what I do and just stick to "I do software"... 😁
@enno you should've put an ASCII version of your face in the cURL licence, then you could ask for their phone scroll to the licence and hold it up next to your face.
Niall O'Reilly has been a great RIPE Vice-Chair and he deserves much thanks for his work over the last five years. Now @yesitsanna takes over, with Mirjam Kuehne remaining as Chair. Great leadership for the future of our community! #RIPE91
EDIT: Surprise! Trump lied. These may or may not all be willing donations.
🤬 some of them, but in the end, probably all.
"Apple, Amazon, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, Google, Coinbase, Comcast and Meta are just some of the major companies who have made donations to build President Donald Trump’s proposed 90,000-square-foot ballroom."

надеюсь, саудиты и прочий опек в контакте с трапом или как минимум из чисто меркантильных соображений не дадут нефти сильно подорожать, нарастят добычу.
короче, работайте, братья. пусть хуйло сегодня всплакнет в аквадискотеке.
Я плохо разбираюсь во всей этой арабской кухне, кто там с кем, но не в сговоре ли они все с пуйлом? Ну судя по тому, что хамас, иран и прочие талибы — его лучшие друзья?
вот да. на ближнем востоке из друзей с нефтью у него иран и они персы а так то они не сильно дружат. поговаривают даже к развалу ссср они руку приложили, свалив нефть на 20. если посмотреть на исторический график цен на нефть - там все провалы совпадают с кризисами в ссср/россии. надо картинку поискать
ну и иран сейчас озалуплен не хуже путина. так что ему не до помощи другу-кяфиру
особенно после помощи от друга-кяфира в 12 дневной войне

King Charles and Pope Leo XIV prayed together during an ecumenical service at the Sistine Chapel this morning. It is the first time a British monarch and a pope have worshipped together since Henry VIII broke from the Catholic Church in the 16th century.
It's one thing to use an NDA to protect your trade secrets, it's another to use an NDA as a shield to hide just how bad the experience with your product is, or to hide the truth from your publisher lest they cancel the project (when that's almost inevitable)
While I was setting up the flux servers, I thought about something. Why not bring back community podcasts...Sero had this initially and I loved it. As a curious 12 year old kid, I was able to pick up sooooooooo much knowledge with just that app. That being said, let me know what you think of this idea. If you would like your podcast listed in the initial release in just a few days, please get in contact. Don't have a podcast? You can still help by boosting this post! The more podcasts listed, the better
Oh. So that is for a "featured" list? Not sure how you feel about telemetry, maybe just send an event every time somebody adds a podcast to their subscriptions, that way, you can actually surface the ones people like without manually curating a list?
I hate atonal music. I hate studying atonal music. I do not know why we treat atonal music with such unnecessary reverence when it is, for all intents and purposes, a math problem made into music, which is the absolute opposite of why any person who isn’t a raging egotist would compose, perform, or study music. either way, unless I am required to perform it, don’t expect me to be a champion of the stuff.
Thank you, thank you a thousand times for having said what I've been thinking my whole life. I just don't get and don't feel this mass of chaotic mess with no melody, no harmony, no beauty, no nothing, this metallic noise someone calls #Music. Unfortunately, everything from the start of the twentieth century (I'm talking about academic music) is trash, with really little exceptions like minimalists and some composers who do write music, but otherwise it's just a hodgepodge of random notes.
@menelion You hit the nail on the head. Academic music. That’s exactly what it is. I’m sorry, but if you got into music to make write things so that other people can study how much of a genius you are rather than to make beautiful art, you picked the wrong profession. Go show off somewhere else.
It's the same with other kinds of art, unfortunately. I'm totally blind so I can't see paintings, but I read stuff about them, and it's often the same crap.
If you're putting docs on the internet which state times/dates...
*Please*, use UTC.
Don't make us all learn what our offset from your timezone is and whether or not you and/or we were in daylight savings for each and every time/date mentioned.
Everyone knows where they are from UTC. It's simple. We like simple.
Depends on the use case I guess. If it's heavy DevOps stuff (and aviation), sure. If it's anything else, like event schedules (for remote events, for in-person local is always prefered), just figure out where the user is and do the right thing.
@miki I wonder how often that is correct, since I know things like 12/24 hour rarely works for me, since browsers are stupid and think location and regional preferences are the same.
New: a $60 mod to Meta's Ray-Ban glasses disables the privacy LED light. This is supposed to light when people are filming with the glasses. We bought the mod, verified it works. Now you can never be sure whether someone wearing Meta Ray-Bans is filming you or not 404media.co/how-to-disable-met…
Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses usually include an LED that lights up when the user is recording other people. One hobbyist is charging a small fee to disable that light, and has a growing list of customers around the country.
@menelion This was the very first case at my first tech support job. The user kept their important files in the Recycle Bin and set Norton Disk Doctor to start with Windows 95, making a “trap program” that nobody knew how to exit.

Since Trump is in the process of destroying the East Wing of the White House to build his balls room (tm), should something happen that forces him out of power earlier than 2029, or if he doesn't get his way and retains power indefinitely with personally named successors (come on, we all know that's what he wants), days before leaving office, he will destroy his fancy new room that could contain more than 100 studio apartments so the next guy can't have it, leaving whoever comes next to rebuild the whole place again. D, R, doesn't matter.
The social contract that made the internet possible is breaking down. Has already broken down? It's in bad shape, in any event. I don't know if there's anything we can do to stop this at this point. Just throw sand at the clankers and hope they get stuck, I guess.
Exterminate all rational AI scrapers, redux redux.
Nine months ago I added an infinite-nonsense honeypot to poison LLM scrapers.
Today, it comprises 69% of URLs served.
No. I don't handle that much traffic and the fact that it's 99% static means that it pretty much never gets overloaded. if I start adding more dynamic content I might have to revisit that

The answer is: Nobody knows.
