GitHub Has a Microsoft Problem. Is It Time to Look Elsewhere?

It’s itch.io. Effectively the same as GOG in the sense that they are just selling you DRM free game files that you download using a web browser.

Tale as old as time.

Bitwarden has been in decline for a while. This is definitely not the first sign.

It was about being able to share game discs with no restrictions. Because with Xbox’s proposed new system at the time, sharing game discs had some restrictions because discs were effectively just glorified digital copies. And this new system that Xbox was debuting finally allowed users to share/resell digital goods for once. Something that is still not a solved issue today. Sony just tried to focus on the major downside to that system and completely ignore the huge benefit.

For what it’s worth, nothing in that link under the self-promotion rule mentions using that tag. It is only the link under the AI rule that instructs you to use one of those tags. If a developer did not use AI at all, they likely would not follow that link to read further into the AI rules and would therefore never see any rule instructing them to use some [CBH] tag. If you want non-AI developers to do something special, you should also mention that requirement under the relevant rule instead of just hiding that under the rules that only AI-devs will read the details of.

Originally training the model had used the energy resources of that original corporation or whatever. But when you download that model and start running it on your own hardware, you are using your own energy.

Think of it kind of like some software like Jellyfin. When the developers write the software, they do so using their own electricity. But when you download Jellyfin and actually run the software on your own hardware, you are now only using your electricity, not the developer’s electricity at all.

Where do you draw the line? If a user who is generally a very active poster here wrote a useful program and hosted the source on Codeberg under a FOSS license, should they be allowed to make a post sharing it?

I am Lizcutus of Blerg. Resistance is futile. Your life, as it has been, is over. From this time forward, you will have it all.

If I’m not mistaken Jellyfin is actually a fork of Emby so they’re pretty similar, but one is a bit older.

Jellyfin forked from Emby in 2018 when Emby chose to switch to a closed-source model. Because of this, there are many similarities, but the projects continue to become very different from one another as well over the years.
