I suspect the US government will allow OpenAI to continue doing as it please to keep their competitive advantage in AI over China (which don't have problem with using copyrighted materials to train their models). They already limit selling AI-related hardware to keep their competitive advantage, so why stop there? Might as well allow OpenAI to continue using copyrighted materials to keep the competitive advantage.

The report of "partnering" seems to be overblown (it's just used for another data source), though I understand some people don't want anything to do with Brave.

Deploying openstack seems like a very fun and frustrating experience. If you succeed, you should consider graduating from selfhosting and entering hosting business. Then, maybe post your offering on lowendtalk. Not many providers there use openstack so you might be able to lead the pack there.

Man, I didn't know HoloISO is the only way to get the Arch-based SteamOS 3. I thought it's a custom fork like Proton vs Proton GE.

It's an issue that could be solved within lemmy where communities with the same name should be able to merge and show each others content.

This is bad idea though, unless if it's an optional feature that the users themselves choose to activate (e.g similar to multireddit, but you don't have to manually curate the communities yourself). Imagine the same community from two opposing instances (e.g. blahaj and hexbear) somehow got merged by default. That would be an absolute shitshow. Also, how would moderation work? Those communities often have different moderation rule. Can mods from one community remove posts from another community with the same name? This would also be an absolute shitshow.

It's unprecedented at the time because he was the top mod so the only one that can remove him was Reddit admins, and they did. r/piracy fell into a complete chaos shortly after that, lots of awful stuff so I didn't stay long to see how it went.

you can inspect the stuff. You don't have to, but it helps if you're not paranoid with popular and widespread images

Dive is a great tool for inspecting docker images. I wish I found it sooner.

You can install SteamOS on your PC. As long as ayaneo's handheld can run Linux, it should be able to run SteamOS.

There is also HoloISO which is based on Steam Deck's version of SteamOS: https://github.com/HoloISO/holoiso

It's still one of the top posts on !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/35555?scrollToComments=true . r/piracy went downhill soon after this.

My memory is hazy, but during the subreddit protest, he was somehow removed from moderator list (did the admins got involved?), and the sub reopened shortly after. From then on, any thread about migration to Lemmy is full of people roasting each other. It was awful. No idea why those who remains were so vehemently opposed to migration of a piracy community. It's not like you can openly discuss piracy stuff on Reddit without risking removal by the admins.

Piracy and Star Trek communities had a lot more success migrating their communities over to lemmy compared to other communities. Not 100% success as many opposed to the migration (I remember seeing big drama on r/piracy back then, and lesser drama on r/startrek), but a good chuck of them was successfully migrating to lemmy.

Edit: wait, I didn't realized it's @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com himself that made this post. Man, I don't know how you're able keep going with encouraging redditors to migrate to lemmy with how redditors that stay on r/piracy was treating you. I say good riddance! Your hard work paid off!

Personally, I think your choice of desktop environment have more impact to your day-to-day experience than your distro choice. If you feel at home with windows-like UI, try KDE Plasma. If you like minimalistic mac-like interface, then try Gnome.

I'm tired of Musk stuff too, but the community rules does seems to allow it to certain degree:

5: personal rants of Big Tech CEOs like Elon Musk are unwelcome (does not include posts about their companies affecting wide range of people)

Me with my Windows 2000 😏

The version number will be incremented when Linus says so. He might even increment it to 7.x tomorrow if he feels like it.

I haven't visit twitter/X for a while. A "video-first platform" typically supports live streams, captions/subtitles and 4k videos. Does X supports these?

This successful launch means the ULA is still maintaining their 100% successful launch rate, even when using this completely new rocket!

Unlock bootloader (depending on vendor, you have to do an online verification),

A few years ago, there were huge issues with reseller unlocking the bootloader to inject ads on the phones they sold, which forced many android phone manufacturers to add online verification with long wait time to prevent bulk unlock.
