You don’t think the creators should get paid? Do you know how much effort goes into making quality videos?

Ironically it’s probably because so many of the slop videos try and copy their style. However I would have thought YouTube would be more proactive with a channel with 25M subs.

Hmm I see nothing - I guess the posts don’t federate back to .ml?

I joined the .ml server because it was the dev server. Looking at the communities I subscribe to most are on other servers. Occasionally people ascribe beliefs to me based on my home server but so far I haven’t bothered looking for a new home.

When I first joined there were a bunch of popular instances that closed down so choosing a non-dev server seemed like a bit of a gamble. Same with mastodon servers.

I mean scientists have been going on about global warming for some time now and no one seemed to listen to them then. Not sure why they are turning to scientists now.

AI used to cover a wide field of study, nowadays it seems to be all about the generative models. Oh how we’ve moved on since that original summer symposium.

Bless Polly’s optimism, hopefully not copium. Labour’s problem hasn’t been an uncharismatic leader but the very tight constraints they have set themselves for government. I’m not sure Burnham is willing to venture outside of them and start freestyling with the manifesto.

Hopefully he’s given this a lot of thought. I haven’t lived in Manchester for years but the mates I still have up there seem to think he’s alright. Mayor’s certainly can make a difference that local voters can feel. Hopefully he can replicate that in the top job.

When it comes to export controls and sanctioned entities it doesn’t really matter what Red Hat would like to do - they have to comply with the law in the jurisdictions they work in. Even if it was purely a community project individual contributors face a similar liability if based in those jurisdictions.

When it comes to sanction lists there is a fair amount of commonalty between the US and Europe. This is really something to complain to government about.

Imgur has been offline in the UK since the original investigation. Do they even want to be in the UK market?

I guess to would have to look at the suicide rates in other populations coming out of COVID.

COVID and the associated turmoil certainly did have an effect on the mental health of the country.

There are a fair number of third party boards based on the RP2040/RP2050 silicon. Even esphome can target it even though it originally targeted the esp32.

The silicon itself is pretty nice although the original had done problems with deep sleep.

Are they as well supported? There are lots of SBCs out there but if they are only supported by vendor kernels and have no documentation then i’d rather pay the Pi premium.

ETA: that said for a lot of stuff microcontrollers are a much better bet.

They are pretty good at summarisation. If I want to catch up with a long review thread on a patch series I’ve just started looking at I occasionally ask Gemini to outline the development so far and the remaining issues.

I guess somewhere between 6 and 7…urm 6/7 👐 (and my kids say I don’t understand memes 😅).

There are large areas of open source that don’t rely on volunteer labour because companies with a vested interest pay people to work on them. They tend to be the obvious large projects that are continuously developed and gain new features. The trouble with something like xz is it was mostly “done” (as in it did the thing it was intended to do) but still needed maintenance to address the minor niggles, bug reports and updates to tooling and dependencies.

The foundations could do a better job here of supporting the maintainers. After Heartbleed the Linux Foundation started the Core Infrastructure Initiative to help fund those under recognised projects. I would hope the people running that could be more proactive identifying those critical understaffed components.

Edit I think it’s now called the Open Source Security Foundation: https://openssf.org/

Looks like 🙂

On the actual topic I know a number of people getting injection privately and swearing by the results. There is a pretty aggressive referral campaign as well which considering the monthly cost is going up you can see why people will sing it’s praises.

Because OpenVPN is fiddly to set up and modern Wireguard setups seem to scale well enough.

Not exactly complaining about grannies being arrested are they?

You must make the source available to anyone you distributed the binaries to. Where in Red Hats TOS does it say they will sue you? As far as I understand it the reserve the right to terminate the service you are paying for. But your rights to source for the binaries provided are not affected.
