Open Source@lemmy.ml•All my new code will be closed-source from now on - Marc J. Schmidt
1·4 days agoIts not lossless.
Except for when it is, and even when it’s not, there is a fine line leading to calling that plagiarism.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•All my new code will be closed-source from now on - Marc J. Schmidt
21·4 days agoWell, once again, that’s just my hot/IANAL take, but when those weights serve to store information in a way that can easily be extracted losslessly (check-out “model extraction attacks”), we should stop treating them as “just weights”.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•All my new code will be closed-source from now on - Marc J. Schmidt
1312·5 days agoI mean, the elephant in the room is the blatant licence violations orchestrated by LLM vendors. If your codebase is GPLed and serves to feed a LLM, it should extend to all the code produced by that LLM.
For decades, the FOSS community has been at each others throats about those licenses, and now that we contemplate the largest IP theft/reappropriation of all time, it’s like, not big a deal. I can’t tell that I’m a prolific OSS contributor, but enough to understand the sentiment: “I put code in the open to help humanity, not to make oligarchs better off with a newfound mandate to pollute”.
Congrats for the release!

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Lightweight and flexible: Bitwarden lite self-host deployment is now generally available | BitwardenEnglish
4·1 month agoI came to bitwarden because we needed to share passwords with my SO and the way those replicate seamlessly on all our devices (desktop, laptop, iOS, Android) is a no brainer. Since bitwarden/vaultwarden is full self-hostable and open-source, I don’t see why I would pass on its convenience.
Ahh, that’s good to know. Perhaps a mention of this in the original post might help some lost lemmians such as myself :-)
/u/Ategon , seems like the links lead to an error page, is this still the recommended way of requesting a community creation?
Glad to hear that! That’s an area of dsub which I appreciate: it’s pretty clear what’s cached offline and not, transitioning to offline is one tap away, and caching whole sub-trees of the library is easy and convenient. As a frequent flyer, I get that I might be an atypical user, but I rely on this very much.

Technology@beehaw.org•WhatsApp is launching third-party chat support across EU Countries, which means you can now ditch WhatsApp for an EU alternative: BirdyChat from Latvia.
1·2 months agoElement is the poster-child of the venture capital long forgotten darling, now struggling for its survival after failing as an investment and as a product so thoroughly. During its first decade, they had to pump hype with overblown promises to keep the funds coming, often dragging the ecosystem into unsustainable and unattainable quests (remember P2P?). Now that this is no longer on the menu, they want to give the pretence of being the “reasonable” alternative and focuses on leeching public grants while completely failing/being late to the party in the corporate space. Even though Matrix saw some non-federating/private deployments at some government agencies in the recent years, little of it has benefitted Element, which pissed them off enough into going with an open-core model (i.e. closed source “Synapse Pro” with a paid subscription for the resource-efficient server). I’ve been following them since the very start, and although “fibbing” might be too strong a word, deception is their MO.
Looks like it was caused by the “size of streaming cache” which I had set to 0 under the assumption/hope it would mean “unlimited”. Though I had to log out and back on for album art to effectively reappear.
Glad this project is alive and well! For strange reasons, covers are not displayed in-app (replaced by a generic placeholder) but do appear in the android media related screens (media controls, lock screen, etc).

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•opencloud - I migrated from nextcloud. Screenshots and docker-compose-compose.yml includedEnglish
11·2 months agoYou seem angry. It’s just too bad you couldn’t funnel this energy into learning and configuring nextcloud to your needs. It is actually pretty lean when you set it up properly. Anyhow, happy you found something you liked eventually.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•what do you think about the humanoid robots going mainstream in 2026
8·2 months agoThey are going mainstream the same way fully autonomous cars are: in the wildest dreams of tech oligarchs on a deregulation crusade. Humanoid robots are actually a tougher problem to crack, and this coming up now is rather the sign of AI investors desperate to diversify out of language models, so when THAT bubble eventually pops, I’m not sure how much will remain of humanoid bots either.
Not OP but I like that we can finally install from a URL (better late than never, heh)
There is no dedicated native mobile app yet (though there is a bounty for it), so the mobile experience happens via a PWA that is decent for browsing and quick editing, but lacks offline support
If you need semantic notes with typing and structure, nothing beats https://triliumnotes.org/ IMO/E
The pace of the project is moreover very high these days
For the record, it seems the project moved on, just without its previous maintainer, to github: https://github.com/tt-rss/tt-rss
