onlinepersona,

That’s exactly what I was I saying! Wow, your reading comprehension gets five stars and a kiss on the check. Papa Wouter must be impressed!

🙂 my bad

No, not sue me for lemmy comments. AI is trained with lots of data. The world wide web is full of publicly accessible data like our comments. However, not all publicly accessible data may be used without a license. Examples thereof are news paper articles, videos, still pictures, etc. Normally, if you want to use those commercially, consent has to be given by the license holder and a in some cases a fee has to be paid.

Microsoft Copilot is an AI model to help people write code. However, it was trained mostly on opensource code (code made publicly available) which was very often licensed. And it is done so in such a manner that commercial use is allowed with the obligation to make that commercial code publicly available too. Microsoft does not make the code for Copilot publicly accessible and uses code licensed in many, many other ways - and it does so without asking for consent.

This is often a double standard as companies that hide their code fight very hard to keep it secret and/or pursue those in court who do not get a license to use it. However, they will happily use licensed consent to their benefit without consent nor potential payment.

With some clever tricks, AIs have been duped into revealing their training data (often licensed, sometimes very private e.g addresses, birthday, health information, etc.). Lawsuits have ensued (against the AI owners like Microsoft) and are currently active with a pending verdict. Until the verdicts come, I add the license link to my comments. Who knows, maybe it will have an impact, maybe not.

Hopefully I could explain the situation in an understandable manner for you.

Have a good day.

It’s a non-commercial copyleft licence for the comment in case the case against Microsoft’s CoPilot is won.

onlinepersona,

You’re welcome. Thank you for reading :)

onlinepersona,

Then you’re right. The frustration would be understandable, the expression thereof towards the developer, not.

onlinepersona,

Just to be sure, is this a serious question or a troll?

“You should own what you pay for” to put it another way, I think.

Ultimately, what are you trying to achieve (and why); what is the problem even?

There have been complaints in posts about people asking for advice on which disto to use, that there are too many such posts.

What is your solution to this problem?

Provide users the tools to possibly answer the question themselves before creating a post.

And where does adding Distrochooser to the sidebar come into plan?

DistroChooser is a self-help tool for that purpose.

Have you perhaps thought of other possible solutions and why they might be inferior to the suggested one?

  • keep answering posts --> more complaints, possibly silent quitting of community
  • write bot --> I ain’t got the time, maybe somebody has, dunno what the bot would do
  • find alternative website --> I ain’t got the time

Thanks for the thoughtful response, but I disagree with a lot of things you said. I could quote everything I disagree with and write a paragraph, however it would be a meaningless endeavor as a moderator looking at the post would probably decide against adding distrochooser to the sidebar - regardless of my opinions.

Cheers

P.S thanks for teaching me a new thing: XY problem :)

onlinepersona,

onlinepersona,

Noice. I’ll wait another month then. Cheers.

Favorite? No. Most acceptable: NixOS.

The worst documentation of a linux distro I have ever encountered, but the declarative model has convinced me I don’t want something else. Now I’m just waiting for other distros to pop up that are declarative as well. (Guix? No thanks, I’m not a fan of endless parentheses)

I really need a link to a blurb about the CC thing, but not today. Basically think AI.

Xbox Game Bar for Linux? (scontent-yyz1-1.xx.fbcdn.net)

I was a windows user back in 2019 - 2020, and moved over to Linux in 2021. I honestly forgot how i found Linux, and when I was using Windows, I remember using this feature “Game Bar”, which I used to make game clips on my PC. Although, when I got my NVIDIA Card the Game Bar Stopped working because of the HDMI cord that...

onlinepersona,

Is is just to record the screen or does it do something special in addition to that?

There are a few screen recorders out there. Maybe one will fit your fancy?

Also I can recommend alternativeto.net to find alternatives to just about any software or service out there. Here’s the page on the XBox Game Bar

onlinepersona,

Just FYI, There’s a button called “print screen” or “PrntScr” or something similar on most keyboards. If you hit that, it’ll take a screenshot that you can edit and upload :)

That’s macs. Fuck em. With linux I can always put in a USB stick with a live linux and fix shit.

onlinepersona,

This is fine.

onlinepersona,

Thanks. I’m out of the loop.

onlinepersona,

I’ve had 3 raspberry pis (1,2,3) and none have had stable WiFi. After an hour or two it would drop and the logs would get spammed with some error that I can’t remember. Might be this issue wlan freezes in raspberry pi 3/PiZeroW (Not 3B+) . Similar issue Every two hours, like clockwork: “wpa_supplicant[313]: nl80211: kernel reports: key addition failed”.

After that, I gave up on WiFi on Raspberries and used LAN, but they are so underpowered… my nextcloud instance took ages to do anything, XBMC (now Kodi) was slow and couldn’t render videos > 720p (it was struggling with 720p honestly), even a simple audio proxy over bluetooth (forward bluetooth audio from phone to speaker) barely functioned as the bluetooth cut out or it was janky as hell.

It’s easier to put a old phone as a server than a raspberrypi.

I’m not sure I follow… are you saying Linux users judge windows by very old problems?

onlinepersona,

For new hardware, it’s no surprise when it doesn’t work out of the box as most drivers are written for windows first. That’s not a fault of linux.

onlinepersona,

Might be some AP incompatibility maybe, I’ve never seen those.

Lucky you. Tried 4 different routers --> same issue.

I gave up on RasPis long ago.

onlinepersona,

Got a link?

onlinepersona,

Why not move to NixOS?
