Opensource@programming.dev•Asahi Linux Drops MIT and Goes Full GPL After AI Tools Were Used to Steal Unreleased Code
1·4 days agoI mean stealing code was always possible, nowadays with AI and apparently copyright not existing anymore, nobody enforces anything anymore. They seem to only be enforced with actual copy pasting of code, which is not a “today” thing

Opensource@programming.dev•Asahi Linux Drops MIT and Goes Full GPL After AI Tools Were Used to Steal Unreleased Code
6·4 days agoWell yeah, and the GPL was born exactly to preserve open source, sharing and transparency, and to fight against proprietary software

Opensource@programming.dev•AlpineBSD announced – an AI-free FOSS OS
11·10 days agoThis is a gold mine for LLM scrapers to have a source of human written code XD BSDs in general as their cuck license doesn’t even try to protect them

Opensource@programming.dev•Voxl: extremely fast web remote desktop streaming
4·10 days agoSo Rustdesk but vibecoded and without Wayland support??
People buying apple phones in dictatorships are pretty stupid tho
But yes ofc we need to pressure monopolies

Opensource@programming.dev•We just gave a million dollars to Open Source maintainers
2·14 days agoCheck your autocorrect…
I read a lot on printed papers these days
Well you are obviously not the norm XD
Though of course simple, fast pages are amazing. Or normal? They should be easy to convert to darkmode locally, use with a screenreader etc.

Opensource@programming.dev•How Matrix is becoming the communication standard for Public Sector
1·16 days agoI dont know if this might hurt them. Zero knowledge and e2ee are cool, but I dont know if they are even allowed to use this.
I only know from the US signal clone that archived all contents.
Matrix is really limited and many issues come from the encryption. It works, but it is VERY different from horror tools like MS Teams.
If all they need are powerful servers that can store everything, Fluxer is probably better already, or other tools.
Yeah it exists since forever and is way smaller than JPG
It also has animations and transparency, you know, useful things…
Compatibility is crazy, these better formats exist since sooo long
Jxl will be cool too, but take some time for adoption

Privacy@programming.dev•Proton To ‘Re-Interview’ Staff About AI To See Who Gets To Keep Their Job
42·18 days agoThis is so vague we dont even know if it’s a good thing
Sadly this is bot protection. Shitty stuff like websites being behind cloudflare or other captchas, being unreadable without javascript or this stuff are all results of AI scrapers

Privacy@programming.dev•Updated Google privacy policy says your Gmail might be used for advertising

Opensource@programming.dev•What's your opinion on this clean room re-implementation of Photoshop?
1·1 month agoNo idea how this works, sounds insane
I would personally prefer getting the few extra additions like automatic object detection into GIMP, or better PDF editing support for Libreoffice draw etc and use that
Codeberg/forgejo is like github but better. Its crazy

Privacy@programming.dev•Obscura VPN 'We View Consumer Data as Toxic Waste' | itsfoss
1·1 month agoYou can do this on Linux but not on Android for example. And even on Linux it is not trivial. Mind to share a guide? I am curious

11·1 month agoWell mullvad has multihop already with better control than obscura, but it is the same company.
I understand their multihop like that the second server accept all traffic from other mullvad servers without knowing your location, while the first has another wireguard layer so they cant see your traffic. Great and enough if you dont fear mullvad being coerced into changing their logging.
With obscura, mullvad accepts all traffic from obscura servers too, but the servers are operated by different legal entities.
This is made less useful by lower actual technical barriers. Like the servers could be in the same datacenter, while on Mullvad they could be in different countries!
Lots to improve for now but you gotta start somewhere

3·1 month agoThey work fine already but could be better. Open source and contact to the dev over PGP but they could have a public issuetracker or a semipublic read-only one or so.
Currently this is really just a companies thing, not legislations. If you live in frankfurt and choose frankfurt, your traffic will go through an obscura server in frankfurt and then a mullvad server in frankfurt. Not amazing if you want to make tracing harder by using servers in different countries.
Speeds are fine, the android client is reliable. LAN bypass works, no split tunneling is annoying though

This is really cool though! Other tools using that feature are the builtin screenshot tool and SingleFile, where you can only select a specific area.
