Compared to how Microsoft names things, FOSS naming is harmless on average.

Think of them naming the gaming app on Windows PCs “Xbox”, or the distinction between “VS Code” and “Visual Studio Code”, or “edit” (msedit), etc etc

Unironic answer, the “g” is pronounced, but obviously like the g in give or great, not like j.

The way I read is that it isn’t (or not only) about menu item number 67, but about order number 67 (i.e. the 67th order since the counter was reset).

obviously it’s a remote service, so you don’t directly control it unless you run it yourself, but the website links to this repo https://github.com/gugray/rss-parrot so the code does seem to be available under a free license (I have not tried to run it myself)

This puts any RSS feed into your Mastodon feed.

Assuming “EU” means “European Union” (the acronym can stand for other things too): if you don’t put “Europe” or “European Union” in the title or sidebar, no one who searches for these things is ever going to find this community.

also there is already [email protected]

IRC still exists, the closest FOSS IRC client to mIRC is KVIrc.

The closest thing to a modernized IRC is Matrix.

a desktop version of a web version of a desktop app? talk about going full circle :D

It’s an expansion to say that LLM training constitutes a derivative work. You are of course entitled to your opinion that it should be the case; all I can say to that is that in the 2000s and 2010s nearly everyone on the Internet tended to argue for more limitations, not further expansions, of copyright law, and I wonder what happened to that attitude.

and yet it is still a legally unsettled question whether LLM training requires a copyright license at all; and it is my opinion that no one should want that to be the case, why would people on the Internet want to argue for an expansion of copyright law?

What does that even mean…? If you know of something specific that is superior about analog compared to digital clocks, I’d like to hear it.

Plenty of people older than Gen Alpha very much prefer digital clocks too. I can read analog clocks but it takes me several seconds to convert it to digital time (which is how my brain thinks). As far as I’m concerned, analog clocks are a relic of the past and it’s a good thing to abolish as many of them as possible.

such organizations already exist, e.g. Software in the Public Interest (most well known for hosting Debian)

I remember a similar screen, though with the elements beside each other rather than on top of each other because I was on desktop. So yes, Cloudflare’s error messages are actually accurate in that regard.

both lemmy.world and lemmy.ca are working for me right now? Maybe they’ve come back up.

You can have a non-infinite loop without a break statement, you just need a return statement in it. Also for(;;) is much faster to write than while(true).

with these things, I always wonder how different I would feel about them if my first language weren’t German and I didn’t understand what was actually being said; as it is, I need to concentrate very much on the subtitles

I don’t think I understand the question.

The Internet isn’t supposed to have a “center”, at all. If it ever does, something has gone wrong.

Federation, like what we’re doing here, can make it so that everyone’s personal “center” can be whatever platform they choose to use most of the time. Someone trying to communicate may be using an entirely different one, it will still get federated to whatever you prefer.

depends on what you want to do with your computer? If you want to deeply get into the internals of your computer, including writing your own software, then you’ll probably have to touch the terminal at some point. If all you want to do is web browsing or photo editing or something, then you might never need it.

More people use laptops (or even tablets or smartphones) more of the time nowadays, so fewer people turn on their devices that way nowadays.
