The issues are complicated, the reasons diverse?

I was sure it was just capitalism and greed for money and power all over again.

Me too. But I’m mostly surprised.

My mom moved away from meta because of this asshat. It seems now everything is possible. She went from WhatsApp to signal and Facebook to Bluesky.

For now…

Why not do it again then? Even a small keyboard might do.

Yeah and he is pushing the neo nazi party before the German election.

Real or meme?

I’d say it’s more likely Tucker Carlson was created and send to the world by demonic forces.

Did it? We’re still here.

Right? For me the free as in freedom always had the upside and downside of people have the freedom to use it how they want. Within the very lenient license which might be in use of course. This can include the freedom to do things with the software which the creators and contributors might not agree with or like.

But in the end a certain trust in humanity and the concept of freedom itself mean that we believe the net sum of making your software free will be positive for everyone. And to this day I haven’t managed to become enough of a cynic to change my mind on this.

Its possible to dicuss licenses which helps prevent certain abuse cases. In fact those already exist. However people talk like this is the main issue of FOSS which I don’t think it is at all.

A TV? I don’t have that.

Polar bears love it.

Here is what I think is happening. Google blocks certain third party tracking cookies by default in chrome. They said theyll make a list to distinguish between what they call good and bad cookies. Also they’ll add built in tracking for Google into chrome.

With chrome being the most used browser by far they can use that to sell white list slots on their list or access to the built in tracking. I assume that’s what they are after.

Per year or per month? I’m afraid to look.

Only if the website is part of the product. Like if to use the product I have to login on the website or am forced to regularly use it or whatever. Then if it is advertised as 100% open source I’d probably be like ‘is it though?’.

It wasn’t. It is commercial use to train and sell a programm with it and that is regulated differently than private use. The data is still 1 to 1 part of the product. In fact this instance of chatGPT being able to output training data means the data is still there unchanged.

If training AI with text is made legally independent of the license of said text then by the same logic programming code and text can no longer be protected by it at all.

I was a bit worried that if might come across as that. But it’s more about sharing a positive story I think.

I’m not giving those away. Too many memories.

I’m moving to Pathfinder 2e anyways after this campaign ends. I do still own another copy of the PHB which my daughter uses for her games. So I’ll have to break the news to her that we have to share that one now. And one of my players agreed to lend me his monster manual for now.
