I think, people who say that believe that we’re close to actually-intelligent AI (or artificial general intelligence, AGI). And when we get there, it’s possible that we might suddenly be able to automate lots of complex tasks, possibly even shove it onto robots and have it take on physical labor and things like that.
It’s the wet dream of capitalists, because they don’t need to employ anyone anymore. And I guess, folks are also afraid that such AI could be used for war.
Well, they’re not actually open-source. The models are freely available, but the training data is not, so it’s not actually possible for competitors to reproduce the same result.
Decency or even legality. If Zuck knowingly hosts hate speech, you don’t want that federated onto your platform or you can be sued, too.
I’m not aware of any that do federation, but in terms of a self-hosted music streaming service, I’m aware of these:
It’s a racing simulation, so it has a strong focus on realistic physics and driving mechanics. In that sense, it’s kind of the opposite of Mario Kart, which is designed to be very forgiving of driving errors, and of course has power-ups and such.
I quit Reddit many years ago, because I noticed the toxic culture was fucking with my mental health. Then I was on Mastodon for a few years. Lemmy started to exist in that timeframe and the premise sounded good, so I joined pretty early on, when there were only a handful of posts every week or so. But yeah, these days Mastodon is what I check only occasionally and this place has taken over, as I do like the format a lot more.
I wipe my floor with a damp cloth/mop every two weeks or so. That removes a lot of the dust with relatively little effort.
Oh yeah, I didn’t mean to check in the SQLite database file, just the configuration file and the docker-compose.yml.
Git cannot diff binary files, so every version of your SQLite database would be checked into the history in full and all of them would get downloaded when you do a git clone. Theoretically, you could get around this with Git LFS, but it just doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to put the SQLite database into Git. You don’t iterate on the database in a way that would warrant commits. In particular, you wouldn’t want to roll back the database, if you’re rolling back something in your configuration file. I also imagine the SQLite database would contain usernames and passwords, so you definitely don’t want that in a potentially public Git repo.
So, yeah, you want a separate backup mechanism for the SQLite database. You could put the way this backup tool is rolled out into the docker-compose.yml, but yeah, that’s somewhat more advanced than this Luanti deployment.
I’m definitely not saying anyone who’s not a fan of word filters is a nazi. I’m just saying that nazis disproportionally dislike them more, so it’s a good thing in my book. But yes, definitely enjoy what you like, too. I would be more critical of the word filter, if it wasn’t possible for you to just join a different instance.
The nice thing about it being a configuration file is that you can back it up together with the docker-compose.yml. Professional sysadmins would put it into a Git repo. If you need to set the server back up, you just clone the repo onto the target machine and run the docker compose command and it should set everything back up as it should be. 🙂
I find, it’s useful to piss off the nazis. For example, lemmy.ml has a word filter, which has hardly an impact on anything. But the free-speech absolutists who want to be allowed to say that we should murder ethnic groups of people, because they think that’s an opinion, they see that as censorship, so they don’t care to join here.
I think, what @muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee means with “integrated”, is that they’re wholly part of the app and don’t depend on Googley software being installed into the OS. And to my knowledge, that is not the case.
So, there’s a client library which you include into your app code. That talks with the Google Play Services on your phone. And that then talks with some Google server.
I assume, that client library itself is already proprietary and that’s why the F-Droid team strictly needs to have it removed. Ideally, it would be replaced by an open-source alternative, but the code could also be modified to not include this library and you’d ‘only’ lose e.g. push notifications. Depending on how the app is implemented, you might not get notifications at all then, though.
But they don’t go lightly about modifying the code of an app. If the developer doesn’t want this, they can pull all kinds of shenanigans to make this more difficult or impossible for the F-Droid team…
The issue for Proton Mail inclusion is here: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/rfp/-/issues/1323
TL;DR: It uses proprietary components (Google Mobile Services and Google Firebase).
As a vegetarian, I wouldn’t care much for it. I feel like the plant-based alternatives have got everything covered I could want from meat (and more, if you look beyond Western cuisine). And then I just feel like it’s hard to compete with them in terms of sustainability, efficiency, price etc… In particular, I also really cannot be fucked to put more perishable things into my fridge. I had bought these meatball-like things for Christmas, but didn’t eat the whole load on the first go, so had to cram them in a few days later. Meanwhile my lentils, beans, TVP, peas, nuts etc. just sit there for months, not needing any of my attention.
I can see why they moved all the buttons to the center (on widescreens, it’s pretty silly to have to move the mouse pointer all the way), but the proper solution for that would have been a dock. And yeah, you can clearly see that they didn’t want to go that far or they didn’t realize that they wanted a dock, so you get this awkward in-between solution.
Hmm, did you maybe not read the whole post? The formatting almost had me thinking, it stops after the first paragraph.
The post does acknowledge that BeamNG is not open-source, but it copied Rigs of Rods, which is free software.
I guess, you don’t see this comment: https://lemmy.ca/comment/13390925
Tiny bit of context: LilyPond is basically LaTeX for sheet music.
Really good for transcribing and if you enjoy working with text.
But it does have somewhat of a learning curve, which might not be worth it for occasional use…
Interesting. It seems to be working for me, but the application entry I tried to edit (SpeedCrunch) was from the flathub.org repo that’s pre-included, so I guess, maybe that repo is set up correctly, for this bug not to occur? Maybe that’s a distro-specific thing?
But yeah, did you try the workaround that’s mentioned in the bug report (creating the Flatpak repo as non-root)?
Yeah, and you can just subscribe to the astronomy communities that are on other instances.
