1·7 months agoIt’s not mentioned, but I think the compatibility layer for 1.19 releases breaks support for older versions. Ask your instance admins to update the backend.
10·11 months agoSo Matrix protocol?
15·1 year agoOf course, let the deal through and then overhaul. They literally ignored their own rules to be able to approve the deal once Microsoft asked nicely of the UK government…
It’s a lot worse at the moment. Doesn’t combine results from multiple sites, doesn’t support Google results and lacks support for any configuration. It’s also manages to not have a button to go home after a search.
While it is a nice idea, as it currently stands it is pointless. You need to define each of the nefarious purpose listed or it will fall under individual jurisdictions and judge interpretations.
Also don’t even bother submitting to OSI as it will be rejected based on their OSD.
There was at least one fork attempt, that died in 24 hours.
Signal. Works both on mobile and linked to desktop.
It should also work on Element Web, but not desktop clients.
I mean they were never against it in this case. They asked to make a specific change and instead of doing that the author just closed the PR and then proceded to say how it will never get merged…

Super Productivity has some integration limitations, but generally been working great for me.
Anyone else remember Mozilla promising to open source Pocket 6 years ago?
As a result of this strategic acquisition, Pocket will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Mozilla Corporation and will become part of the Mozilla open source project.

P.S. Sorry for out of topic comment.
I guess it’s a good thing they are not going anyhere despite a loud minority shouting the opposite.
Not sure why artists are brought up here
It was brought up in the original post.
<…> may even go straight to the AI model since that’s distributed cheaply or even free.
Isn’t that part of the capitalism artists love so much? People will go with the cheapest option that meet their criteria. So that just validates my point where someone who wouldn’t have hired an artist now has an option, while those that prefer better quality will still hire artists.
It is highly discouraging for artists who have worked hard to hone their craft, only to have people think that their works have little difference or even a mimicry (don’t underestimate misinformation).
Easily disprovable and while I can understand the concern it’s just another medium affected by general polarization. Again AI is just shining a light on the issue not creating it.
There has been many instances where such training was done without the knowledge of the artist.
And that is the legal question that wasn’t answered yet. But the cat is out of the bag. The models are alreday trained and a lot of them are open source so there is no possible way to remove them. Interested groups should have lobbied for laws to protect from it 5-8 years ago when the tech was starting to develop. But people ignore issues until it affects them directly.
Imagine just waking up one day, and finding that there’s someone or something that can very closely reproduce your works, one’s you’ve taken many years of practice to produce, of which its quality is almost unique to yourself.
Isn’t that how artists learn by making copies of someone else’s work?
Saying that AI is not intended to replace artists, but to improve accessibility, is like saying ATMs weren’t meant to replace bank tellers.
Apples vs oranges. One is creative process while other is not. Going to 10 different artists will get me 10 different results while going to 10 bank tellers will get me the same result every time.
The way I see it AI is not replacing artists, it’s expanding access. People who didn’t hire an artist before, now can use an AI tool to generate something to add value to their creation (if they didn’t hire it in the first place, it’s not replaced anyone). And people who hired artists for originality and creativity will continue to do so. Biggest part of why someone hires an artist is the creative process and their ability to come up with the ideas.
The copyright was broken long before AI became mainstream, AI just shines a bright light on it. The only thing I’m afraid of is that whatever changes to the laws will be made will make it worse for consumers not better.
Since you deleted your post on !opensource@programming.dev, reposting my comment.
Another AI project that will probably be dead in a few months. Also open core not open source as many of the features are not available via self-hosted version.
Self-hosted version which source is available and hosted-version which is not public, are not the same. Or at the very least, planned to not be the same by your own admission as you talked publically about planning on adding paid-only features to hosted version.
Take out “AI features” and you are left with nothing, so yeah, AI project… It also relies on proprietary AI models that you don’t own, so it can stop working at any point and that would be out of your control.
