Yes, but you are mistaken if you think your data is safe on closed platforms. If you post it on the internet, you have to assume it’s gonna be there forever.

I think life is easier if you stop managing metadata and instead deal in folder structure. My music has never had consistent metadata and tagging, yet it’s never been a problem. I use Gonic and just browse my music by folder structure.

That’s awesome; I knew I’d seen it around!

I wonder if Denmark ditching Microsoft is directly related to Schleswig-Holstein doing it. Specially given they’re neighbours.

It’s not, but our direct neighbors announcing it first surely helped the people lobbying to get it considered. It’s also not the entire Government, just a small portion of it. Some municipalities have already been using Linux on user-facing computers like in libraries and I’m sure on the inside, as well.

The discussion is up because of the current American administration, and would continue to be up regardless of if Schleswig-Holstein or anyone else announcing their intentions to do the same.

what is that little pixel cat at the top? It also appears on https://katia.ripe.net/ is it referencing something?

reposotory

It says (updated) but what is the update?

Firefox is in the same situation. Bloated umbrella org (Mozilla) that has dubious funding sources builds subpar products. Look at how much support implementing JPEG XL had, and how they just didn’t care and completely shut the conversation down when Google said no.

The Matrix foundation didn’t embrace and extend anything, as they were always in control of the spec.

EEE applies to when corporations (notably Microsoft) embraces projects that aren’t theirs and takes them under their wing, expands on functionality which attracts all the users and makes them the sole developer of that functionality, which kills the old, open forks. Microsoft then kills their version of it, and the whole thing dies.

and the backend is no longer fully open source

You have no idea how funny that is because I called it on a whim half a decade ago.

No; in the case of Matrix it’s because the spec is insanely bloated. Nobody wants to work on that, especially for free.

The combat and parkour of 2 are noticeably more floaty and forgiving than 1 and people (me included) were very unhappy with that when the game came out. We consequently never bothered playing it and the only people (still a sizable chunk of players) left are the ones who do enjoy it, even though it definitely betrays the design of the first game.

The grapple of the first game was a massive mistake but it’s easy to just not use it. Nothing in the game requires it.

The second game’s combat is forgiving and the parkour saves you where you would’ve fallen to your death in the first game. There are videos on YouTube of how egregious the combat and parkour lock-on mechanics can be where the first game doesn’t have them. It makes parkour and combat feel bad. People were unhappy with that.

But you can still think it’s a fun game. I’m not telling you what you feel is wrong, but the direction they took combat and parkour was wrong and many people pointed that out.

I’m not going to argue that you didn’t, or can’t, have fun, but people aren’t upset because it was different. The combat and parkour are objectively worse.

Not yet they haven’t

please i beg please god please

please have learned what made DL1 great and what made DL2 awful

Instances have 3 options. Save it locally, proxy it, or do nothing. Saving every federated image is not feasible for small instances. It’s not a fault of the protocol that instance operators don’t want to pay a thousand dollars a month for storage. Matrix has this problem, and look what happened to them: tiny instances are expensive to run, so don’t flourish.

whatever die mad I’ll keep being more productive than I’ve ever been

You’re listening to hype bros when you should be listening to developers.

There is a very loud population of AI-haters who don’t hate AI but rather corporate AI but they don’t know what the difference is and can be lead to water but won’t drink it.

If they wanted to stick it to the AI companies, they’d be all in on the open source LLMs. They’re not, though, because they don’t understand it. They’re just angry at this nebulous concept of AI because a few companies pissed in the well. Nobody was upset at AI Dungeon when that came out.
