I can’t wait for people to have proprietary software running on their wifi brain implant

“I didn’t do anything wrong”, says man who doesn’t understand the concept of consent or ownership.

Are they lying about secure boot being a reason or can I go back to thinking SB is part of Microsoft’s EEE attack on software freedom?

I mean if it’s 2nd hand… and the free (libre) drivers are good… and AMD hasn’t gone full Intel… maybe??

The freedom to deny others the same freedom?

If it’s all your own work then a license is purely for others to follow. MIT and GPL license can be just as simple as including a textfile of that license in the project.

Ideally one includes a header in each code file to ensure people just looking at that file (without project context) know the license.

Cancer is a bad analogy. It’s more like antibodies against non-free bactetia :)

I’m not an artist, I just write silly game systems. I took for granted that a handwritting machine was an easy assumption. I doubt AI companies even have the insentive to try and create physical handwriting/sketching but I see no reason to believe it’s impossible.

Here appears to be a handwriting printer “holding” a pen. People can probably tell this was not human written but I just imagine a machine that can replicate human hand motion better - like a robot hand on a robot arm.

If the training data for “drafts” and “hand written notes” exists then one can train an AI on it, and generate it the same way. Do some artists share such things?

Instead of considering if the whole work is now copyrightable, consider parts of the work made by generative AI are not and the human parts are (if they reach the minimum line of creativity). Sure there’s other helpful tools that do some of the work but unless they’re substituting the creativity then they need not apply.

Seems impossible to me but I’m not an artist - I write code as a hobby and see no way to definitively prove I wrote any code that an AI could also produce. Is there any aspect of art creation that an AI cannot replicate?

It’s where people are, sadly.

Probably not if it depends on Google Pain Services?

If you post hard enough you can get a company to sue you out of desperation.

Please do not, that’s disgusting, thank you.

Even without the chance to earn real money the spirit of gambling still remains. Does buying trading cards (hoping to get one’s desired pocket monster) look good on reflection? Companies “creating” value aribtrarily.

Can’t say it’s obvious how to change certificates on my motherboard. Just updated the BIOS and had to turn off SecureBoot so it could boot into my Linux install (MSI B450 Tomahawk Max).

Who decides what SecureBoot considers trustworthy? If SecureBoot is controlled by someone else then it can be used against the user. The aversion to SecureBoot is justified.

My understanding is the issue on calling it open source was a sincere difference of word usage (can see the source code) and going forward they would use a different term for their licence intention (can see the code but must pay the copyright holder if you make money off forking/using it).

I’m a software freedom enjoyer so I don’t have most of those types of apps already (only Discord… which I hope friends ditch soon).

When I looked into installing a new OS it needed some program or use Android Studio which had it. However, the AS binary demanded I agree to an EULA beyond the “open source” license I was expecting. Whatever I needed it couldn’t find an up to date method of compiling it myself.
