Personally, I don't have a problem with ads. And if those ads can support further development on an open source product I get to use for free then that's even better. What I have problem with is privacy intrusive targeted ads. Even before the internet, newspaper, radio had ads. They sure were annoying, but not as bad of a situation as it is now.
Exactly what I wanted to say. Anything on public domain; movies, books, pictures and paintings should be fair game. Including any databases that allows the uses of it in the given context.
I feel like one of thr problem is LLMs hijacked the definition of AI. Like another comment said, the way they trained on copyrighted material, it's probably not possible. But imagine there was another model (not necessarily LLM) and it was trained with completely public domain material. For example maybe something trained to find genetic diseases from genetic samples of a person, or detecting asteroids from telescope images. Those could become open source. Now, I am not an expert, but do we consider those AI?
They ship flatpak with their own repo for 5+ years.
The apparmour thing can get pretty annoying if an app you like breaks because of it.
No, webkit is for all those anarchist, anti-establishment people. On a serious note, Gnome Web (Epiphany) is pretty amazing. Other than a few stuff like, Netflix not working (thanks W3C for giving us DRM /s. Also, google and widevine are the worst thing in tech) I have not yet found any particular issue. A very limited number of firefox extensions also work on it.
Which webkit based browser are you talking about?
Isn't the only reason firefox gets google ad money is because google is afraid they would slapped with an anti-trust lawsuit? Firefox getting money from google doesn't seem like a valid criticism.
I couldn't help, so let me ask What about firefox stops you from using it for online shopping?
I don't think it's embedded focused but have you checked out Vanilla OS?
My supervisor was an FOSS guy. He used Linux, Libreoffice everything but he still insisted on whatsapp for informal communication. I guess network effects is hard to avoid.
So... Arch makes sad people happy...?
Same. I call bullshit. First of all, for me Lunduke = Bullshit. Second, the moment it said people voluntarily participated in this survey, you just know that the demography of the survey takers will be extremely biased.
For anyone looking for a replacement, I suggest checking out Ente Auth
I beluga there is an about:config setting to disable it. You can find more details somewhere in the comments of this post or the original post that I quoted.
Huh, that is a surprising new revelation.
On Android I am using Waterfox. Still looking for alternatives on desktop.
Seriously, DRM is the problem. There's no one benefitting from it except for large corporations who have a stranglehold on content.
If someone wanted it, they could've installed the Firefox extension, but now for users who doesn't want this, they have an intrusive feature that is just a bloat. Also, even if I wanted it, it's fairly useless unless you live in western countries.
Personally what I have seen so far, Netflix and Disney+Hotstar (here a popular OTT platform Hotstar and Disney merged and this is the result) works pretty well and I can watch it HD (never tried 4K because I don'thave any 4K device). It's just Amazon Prime that doesn't just HD playback among all the OTT services I have used so far.
So, basically centrist anti-establishment?
