  Oh my god… This is one of the best blogs I have EVER seen. I added it to my RSS feed right after reading that post.

  If the internet disappears or you lose access to it for some reason, you can still see your photos.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the main differences between GPLv2, GPLv3, AGPL, and LGPL?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  @grue@lemmy.world 's explanation is spot on. However, just to practice summaries, I’ll write anyway.

  Here are a few terms I’ll use:

  • Project A
  • Project B

  The GPL family of licenses are all copyleft. This means that any code used from Project A in Project B, for instance, makes the latter have the same license, along with not being able to make either Project A or B proprietary*. Furthermore, with copyleft licensed software, you have to give the corresponding source code, along with the compiled binary.

  The difference between the v2 and v3 versions of GPL is that, with the former, Tivoization was possible. Tivoization makes you only able to use the “official” version of the software, rendering it proprietary. Now, here is the comparison between the GPL variants:

  • GPL: The first of the kind, not much to say here.
  • LGPL: It allows you to link (as in libraries) code from Project A to B, without making Project B use the license, too
  • AGPL: You’ve certainly heard of SaaS, which allows you to serve websites licensed under the GPL, for example, without giving the corresponding source code. The AGPL solves this.

  *That is, if there are more contributors to Project A that have not given up their authorship. Also, the version of Project A that used the GPLv3 before can still be used under the same license.

  Yes, I know. But, while trying to find a way to bomb the AI datacenters (/s, hopefully it doesn’t come to this), we can stall their attacks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I got a VPO against me, how fucked am I?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I would have a plan, but it would be against the rules of this community, instance, my instance, and any Lemmy instance, the Fediverse in general, social media, and, overall, the internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Codeberg: army of AI crawlers are extremely slowing us; AI crawlers learned how to solve the Anubis challenges.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep! That was exactly the protocol on my mind. One thing, though, is that the Fediverse would need to be ported to Gemini, or at least for a new protocol to be created for Gemini.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Codeberg: army of AI crawlers are extremely slowing us; AI crawlers learned how to solve the Anubis challenges.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I know this is the most ridiculous idea, but we need to pack our bags and make a new internet protocol, to separate us from the rest, at least for a while. Either way, most “modern” internet things (looking at you, JavaScript) are not modern at all, and starting over might help more than any of us could imagine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wife has COVID and I've had a lung infection for almost 2-weeks. Should I worry? (background in post, mods read the first bit!)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say you need to be at least a bit concerned, especially considering long COVID, which can be dangerous. This is why I still wear an FFP2/N95 mask, even though everyone claims that COVID is gone. I recommend doing all you can to improve your health, going as far as a healthy diet and meditation. Just do anything you can that makes both of y’all recover fully ASAP.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does Apple hire ex-IFD cyber folks, how is that good for their image and the rumors about Israeli involvement or hacking and all the Israeli hacking stuff like Pegasus?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Disclaimer: I haven’t read the article yet — I’m just trying to get people to think. I get what you’re saying, but there’s another side to this: they are ex-IDF. Why did they leave? Not good enough pay, something else maybe. However, it’s a strong possibility that some of them left due to disappointments with the IDF, for ideological reasons. We shouldn’t shun people for where they worked, but rather check their integrity and competence. Who knows? They may be our greatest allies.

  One thing that this article missed is that CurseForge is not the only mod platform — there’s also Modrinth, which bans most of the things mentioned, on this article.

  Yeah, but this is just the beginning. Identifying subtle typing patterns will be much more effective at getting your location. At this point, one of the only ways to fight back against that is to: 1: Write what you want to 2: Feed that into a local LLM, and tell it to use a ChatGPT-like writing style 3: Copy that text, and post it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI model collapse is not what we paid for⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah… I have tried LLMs, and they have horrible hallucinations. For instance, when I tried to “teach” one about Hit Selecting in Minecraft, I used an example of a player that uses it (EREEN), it kept corrupting it to EREEEN. Even when I clarified, it kept doing it, forever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will exist ‘because you still need childcare’⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I partially agree, but that argument about socializing might be flawed. At least in my experience, such socializing did not happen in schools, but instead in coffee shops (again, my experience may be different from everyone else’s), where I had meaningful debates with adults. Instead, I actively avoided conversations with my peers, particularly because I had nothing in common with them.

  Even it they (WhatsApp) still provide reliable E2EE, they have lots of metadata that is not encrypted, and that they actively share with their “advertising partners”.
