I think LF Energy published a report on how open source is more sustainable. Although, I don’t quite remember the details of the report, it was more focused on sustainable projects not linux and such. If you are interested you can find more studies that explore the idea more quantitatively.
I don’t think KDE supports styling libadwaita yet
Technically, even Gnome doesn’t officially support theaming libadwaita apps. The unofficial ways all amout to hacky methods at best (applying an user made css on top of the default style).
Exactly what I wanted to say. Anything on public domain; movies, books, pictures and paintings should be fair game. Including any databases that allows the uses of it in the given context.
I feel like one of thr problem is LLMs hijacked the definition of AI. Like another comment said, the way they trained on copyrighted material, it’s probably not possible. But imagine there was another model (not necessarily LLM) and it was trained with completely public domain material. For example maybe something trained to find genetic diseases from genetic samples of a person, or detecting asteroids from telescope images. Those could become open source. Now, I am not an expert, but do we consider those AI?
They ship flatpak with their own repo for 5+ years.
The apparmour thing can get pretty annoying if an app you like breaks because of it.
I don’t think it’s embedded focused but have you checked out Vanilla OS?
My supervisor was an FOSS guy. He used Linux, Libreoffice everything but he still insisted on whatsapp for informal communication. I guess network effects is hard to avoid.
Same. I call bullshit. First of all, for me Lunduke = Bullshit. Second, the moment it said people voluntarily participated in this survey, you just know that the demography of the survey takers will be extremely biased.
Seriously, DRM is the problem. There’s no one benefitting from it except for large corporations who have a stranglehold on content.
Personally what I have seen so far, Netflix and Disney+Hotstar (here a popular OTT platform Hotstar and Disney merged and this is the result) works pretty well and I can watch it HD (never tried 4K because I don’thave any 4K device). It’s just Amazon Prime that doesn’t just HD playback among all the OTT services I have used so far.
So, basically centrist anti-establishment?
I was also looking into alternatives after all the fiasco and wanted to go with Floorp, but turns out floorp is also doing some shady stuff. Recently they made all their fork only part of the code source available from open source. I don’t know about you, but that feels pretty shady to me.
Never heard of Assy Mcgee before. Those people must know how to have fun.
I understand that perfectly, that’s precisely why I also listed XMPP. Also, IRC suits the need many people till this day.
What about XMPP or IRC?
There is a this app called upscale, that uses an ML model to upscale images. It’s Quite good at what it does, it’s useful. I use it frequently. So, there are AI stuff in linux. Just not your myopic view of AI (LLMs). And your analogy with printing press is extremely wrong. Other than human errors, printing press didn’t have have remotely as many errors as LLMs. LLMs have not evolved to the point of causing a a revolution. So linux has plenty of time to see if the bandwagon sinks or sprints.
How about this https://github.com/vixalien/muzika
There is a project, but it’s really early in it’s development. It’s called Cabal. Has a nice desktop client, looks kinda like Discord. It’s p2p, so no server required. BUT AGAIN, VERY EARLY IN DEVELOPMENT.
Not something you should use, but look out for how the development is going.
Yeah. I still don’t understand all the encryption stuff. I lost all my encrypted texts even after I used my recovery pass phrase on a new session.
Completely off-topic from the original post, but is updoot like the common alternative term for upvote in Lemmy like toot for Mastodon v. tweet for Twitter?
