Yeah, it definitly tells me something, namely that I should not use the tool.
Why would news publish articles about the code quality of the tool, instead of its functionality?
Now they have negative press about its closed source nature, which is a calculated risk they took, just to open source it soon anyway? I doubt it.
but… you dont have to accept contributions? you can just make it open source and tidy it up at the same time?
then why make it closed source to begin with?
They are not. Your server admin and the admins of the server you send the message to could read the message, because its not encrypted.
Wow, sounds great. Maybe we do get private DMs in the fediverse, finally!
…yeah, nobody used it after it became obvious that they put a backdoor in it…
Every time you use Dual-EC(Elliptic curve cryptography) you are using NIST encryption, which is bad because they put a backdoor in it.
Dont blindly believe NIST, they have a track record of intentionally standartising weaker crypto so that the NSA has it easier, heres an article from a security researcher about Kyber, the one they say is “general purpose” (warning: long): http://blog.cr.yp.to/20231003-countcorrectly.html
Extremely cool. Perhaps a right step in the direction of hallucination free LLMs?
its spam, just report it.
oh cool, nevermind then. However, most open source AI is done for commercial purposes, so it will still cripple the ecosystem.
They did it. They’re passing the worst version of the AI law. Thats the end for open source AI! If this passes, all AI will be closed source, and only from giant tech companies. Im sure they will find a way to steal your stuff “legally”.
Great idea, im wondering myself, since it was a core goal of framasofts peertube to have donation integration or something similar, but it never happened. Hope someone is still working on it.
Open source it first, then I’m interested.
I tried to use gnunet multiple times over the years. It always had wierd routing problems, the worst was their filesharing, it literally never worked. You cant find files that are definitely on the network, and if by some miracle you do find something, it fails to download it. 20 years of development and its an unfinished buggy mess. I hope they finally fix it sometime, cause its a really great idea, just executed horribly.
This guy sounds like he snorted every 60s-70s sci fi at once and now his goal in life is creating the torment nexus. I had no idea that the CEO of Y Combinator(hacker news?) had “friends” like this?
I am sceptical of the idea. If every post had a specific license, it would be a minefield to federate or host, because every post could potentially forbid sharing it, or have other stipulations.
Most posts and comments are not copyrightable anyway. A few sentences are not enough to count as a “creative work”. It would need to be your entire posting history, and even then its dubious if that counts as one work.
I propose instead that we do it like wikipedia and others, and that the server as a whole has a license.
paywalled :/
WHAT? why?..what???
