@soph Akkoma/Pleroma at least only relays public posts

@elly @Lili @fsf @mjdxp I've seen used 3D printers for less than that, whether they're actually any good I have no idea

@meadow @maddy Apple/iOS is still far from being the lesser evil. The source code has been released exactly 0 times (which is still less than twice a year), and I don't think it's ever been possible to run your own software without either re-signing your apps every 7 days or paying Apple absurd amounts of money ($99/year + the requirement to have a mac).

If you want something that's better, the choices are either various Android distros that are going to become increasingly difficult to maintain (and are now going to get delayed security updates), or non-Android mobile Linux distros like postmarketOS (which are still quite incomplete and lacking hardware support, but I think are definitely the long-term solution).

@zaire @maddy Here’s a source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwy875j28k0o. It’s happened before with imgur, although it wasn’t necessary to ban it because Ofcomnadzor just had to threaten fines and imgur geoblocked the UK.

@ww A block isn’t necessarily known to the blockee either, since some servers don’t federate Block activities and according to the spec the server SHOULD NOT notify the blockee anyway (although it is certainly more detectable than a mute)

@mcc @ieure I don’t speak for the FSF, but I think they do agree:

Additionally, given our current understanding of ML applications, we believe that we cannot say a ML application is free unless all its training data and the related scripts for processing it respect all users, following the four freedoms.

In which case I don’t see why a new license is required at all, since as you said any LLM that is trained on GPL-incompatible data (or that does not track copyright/license notices) is already GPL-incompatible.

@gayfamicom happy birthday!

@elly @domi @speaktrap @nina_kali_nina coreboot + SeaBIOS is a lot smaller than 8M

@maddy I think IOMMU might just be broken on coreboot on the 9020 specifically, there’s also a known issue with graphics cards not working unless you boot with intel_iommu=enable,igfx_off. I also have a 5050 SFF (which I think is basically identical to the 3050 but the built-in NIC is Intel rather than Realtek) which I ported coreboot to, but I haven’t tried PCIe passthrough on that yet.

@maddy What Dell OptiPlex SFF do you use PCIe passthrough on (and do you use coreboot)? I ask because I couldn't get it to work on my librebooted OptiPlex 9020 SFF with the same NIC (Intel X520-DA2)

You’re in his DMs, I’m in the DSM-5. We are not the same.

@alexia happy birthday!

@nay what, why?

@dee Probably a result of Minecraft's hegemony because of network effect, Microsoft's huge budget, and back when Luanti was still called Minetest and came with minetest_game people either assuming it was just a Minecraft clone or trying the default minetest_game without any mods and being disappointed by it. I'm in various libre-gaming-related IRC channels and it's mentioned quite a bit (unsurprisingly), but in general it's much less popular than it should be.

You gotta wonder whether these scam farms collect and share the best reactions to these opening lines
