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

onlinepersona,

I’m just happy there’s a rust DE being written in slint. KDE is nice and all, but it’s all C++. No way am I touching that trainwreck of a language again.

Check whatismyipaddress.com to see your IP address once you’re connected to either network, but with a high likelihood, it’s almost certainly different IPs. In that case, Dynamic DNS is probably best.

But if you’re using your neighbor’s wifi, I doubt there’s a way for you to host stuff unless you have access to their routers, can open ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS), and forward them to your server. It’s best to use hardware you control (including the router).

onlinepersona,

People complaining about something opensource not doing what they want it to do: dudes/dudettes, if you want to maintain X11, go right ahead. Or if you want it maintained, pay somebody to do it. But stop this incessant whining about opensource devs choosing a direction you don’t like and pretending it’s the end of the world. This isn’t some faceless, megacorp with closed-source shit you have no control over.

If all the people complaining about wayland either put their energy to positive stuff like making wayland better or making X11 better, this wouldn’t be a problem.

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)

It would be great if piracy instances were hosted on I2P and TOR. Then these chucklefucks would have nothing.

Tell me you know nothing about computers without telling me you know nothing about computers.

No matter what I choose, I have to scroll literally to at least half or the end of the page to see Tails. Congrats on finding it in the list, I guess?

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,

Thanks. I care very much what you think.

AI

onlinepersona,

Nobody knows yet 🤷 I’ll do it anyway

CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

onlinepersona,

I think you’re missing the point. It’s a non-commercial license. Non-commercial AI is completely fine by me. Commercial is not.

onlinepersona,

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

🙂 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,

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

CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

onlinepersona,

No. It’s provided without warranty nor guarantee that it’ll work or even leave your system intact. That’s the core of most opensource licenses. Dev owes nobody nothing.

If that’s what you get from a paid product, why would you assume it’s better for a free product?

You’re welcome. Thank you for reading :)

onlinepersona,

Get on the NixOS train, loser. Arch is too easy. /s

onlinepersona, (edited )

Not entirely the same. nix is a build-tool, package manager and DSL. NixOS is the OS built on top of that. nixlang.wiki explains it
