What judge do we have to bribe to make sure all genAI code generated by agents trained on GPL code is also considered GPL'd?
I've heard enough about the future of android. My next phone will either be a linux smartphone or a dumbphone and that's it.
Not saying I would, but a very bored artist might decide to spend their day making 50+ variations (or, themes) on this badge.
Curious about what the experience has been like for anyone buying a #Linux device from Star Labs. Was it worth it? I'm currently looking at their tablets since I've always wanted a decent Linux tablet, doubling as a light work station with a Bluetooth keyboard.
Low-key loving the bun situation as an outsider.
@hk@mstdn.games The thing with Big Tech is that it usually isn't. I think tech enthusiast as a term can safely preclude that. I am also fine with "geeks" or "whales" being a term reserved for big tech over-consumers.
One of the oft overlooked bonuses of a non-algorithm based feed like fedi's is that I can talk about something like how I just started reading Dungeon Crawler Carl, and not be inundated with spoilers.
Almost done the first book and really enjoying it. It suffered from the "Ready Player One audience will love this reference" vibes i felt at first, but once the story got to the experience cookie bit, the QA part of my brain was activated.
To be real, if we wanted to force this make sense like Han Solo completing the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs, you could also say that the machines needed humans not to generate the energy but to regulate energy like capacitors, hence the battery metaphor.
When I was younger, I used to think that knowing more programming languages made you a better program. And in some ways I still think that. But the only for loop I have memorized the syntax for is the C for loop. Any other language, I have to look up to make sure the for loop is the same as C's or if it's something different.
I haven't coded in C in like over a decade.
This is a good, fast, explanation. I've always heard that "Carbon Neutral" and "Carbon Offsets" were a bit of a shell game, but this is the first time I've seen such a clear and easy to understand breakdown as to why.
