I’m looking for a way to watch recent Nebula plus videos. I only have two short videos that I am looking to watch and I don’t think that justifies the cost of a subscription, though I would gladly pay 50p for each video.
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.
In search for free domain I got IPQuick. It gives a random domain for any IP4&6. I know not reliable for commercial use but I just want a domain for nextcloud,fediverse and mail....
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).
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.
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)
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.
When you’re talking to an open source dev, just remember that they are literally giving you their time for free, and they are people who don’t like to be treated poorly....
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.
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.

Youtube has better anti-adblock now. Other than Invidious, any way around it? Purging and re-dowloading the ublock stuff didn't work

What's your current favorite distro that isn't Arch, Debian or Fedora?
I’m wondering what the current favorite distros are besides the most popular ones like Arch, Debian and Fedora.

Could we add "Distrochooser" to the sidebar? (distrochooser.de)
Quite a few posts about selecting a distro to use. Maybe it’s time to make that link a little more prominent?
