The webview doesn't work for me. It always makes me wait. I just open it in a browser, there's no difference.

Closed source software is not the same as patent protected software. Releasing a offline usable closed source binary under no license is so much more ethical then a proprietary (patent) license that threatens people with prison time and civil liability for sharing/modifying software or using it the wrong way. Also the addition of spyware sometimes and cloud tethering. Which I also oppose.

But it seems TMK that Stallman may conflate offline usable closed source and patented software as if they are both as bad. but maybe some people know more about him then I do, Does he recognize the difference and what does /g/ think of the difference? I'm saying I strongly agree with Stallman big tech patent hoarding and patent trolling is harmful, and and I view the GPL3 like a voluntary contract programmers agree to participate in and hope to abolish all patents one day, but I'm not following his logic that seems to hint at closed source software being illegal as an ultimate goal. Patents should be illegal but not software with no public code.

>>107737754
my brain had a malfunction I conflated patented software and copyright software with heavy restrictions.

I think all copyright should be replaced with non disclosure and public agreements. NDA for closed source among a team of developers. And the GPL3 and BSD reimagined as a public contract that activates whenever someone modifies GPL code.

Honestly if it was just copyright laws preventing sharing of software I wouldn't care. What pisses me off is how ideas are protected by the state. In example Adobe held a 20 year patent on adjustment layers, or Namco patenting the loading screen mini games. Or how some licenses say you can't legally modify the software even in your home or only they can fix the hardware. Similar to right to repair laws. That is what I am against.

It just seems that Stallman views it as a human right to modify other people's software, that is where I disagree. Its a voluntary agreement of people participating in GPL3 software.

>>107737922
Fact check them. Grok and DeepSeek do not understand but they do have very good fact checking abilities.
https://www.reddit.com/r/GROKvsMAGA/

The most likely hallucinations are when Grok gives something that sounds like an answer but is a complete fabrication. DeepSeek doesn't do that much at all but Grok does from time to time. Other then source checking the best thing to do is have the same conversation with different AIs several times and look for consistency and tell them to cite the sources.

Just like people on Mastodon fall short of understanding freedom. The concept of positive vs negative liberty.

Dude on Mastodon rails against software patents, big tech cloud tethering everyone's software, and supports local offline software use. I strongly agree with him there. Then I read more of his post and he goes on about how much he loves the EU and thinks that Government should pay all FOSS devs and how a massive welfare state is salvation. That's the point I diverge on. Its positive vs negative liberty and I have taken negative liberty to its logical conclusions. Where as the people on Mastodon and Stallman are mixing both in inconsistent ways.

Stallman wants total digital sovereignty as do I
but he also wants to keep the strong centralized government to provide welfare state creature comforts.I don't think you can have a Government that represents the people and as I cited in a previous post the EU is violating civil liberties while leftist on Mastodon celebrate them . Stallman expects both total privacy where Government doesn't know who you are and a massive welfare state to care for people. That is a huge logical contradiction he has. You can't have both and you must pick one, freedom or dependency!

When taking negative liberty to its extreme conclusion it would be better to live in a world without GPL3 licensing if it meant that most copyright and all patents were abolished since the early 90s onward. But we'd have to do that from the start, as like I said patents already gave capitalist pigs a huge advantage that can't be undone. The timeline we're in is fucked

You don’t have evidence either other than “trust Valve bro” which we seen was a very bad thing.
>>
>>107742919
NTA, but the evidence is in the fact that the EU hasn't fined Valve yet for review manipulation.
The EU has strict legal requirements to publishing consumer reviews of products, which require the platform not manipulate the representation of said reviews in any way, such as using a cut-off point that purposely omits poor ratings.

Steam is a known entity to the EU, and has been fined before for other breaches of EU legislation.
Yet not for this.

steam was already established before consoles killed themselves off, the other publishers tried to compete but steam already had a majority of IP's willing to participate, so they won by default

>>107742027
pretty much. where "AI" shines is in domain-specific, targeted applications. like the other guy said, i also have set up a frigate cctv system, and just being able to record and notify when things happen that have the kind of context only a modern AI could do is really useful, like for example when "a person enters the front porch", while the front porch as a zone has been a thing forever, it's just an area you define as a drawing over your camera feed, it's the person part that's interesting. at best before this new ai stuff you could only detect motion, smart stuff could filter out things like camera noise, trees and rain, but to actually tell if it was looking at a person is another story entirely, it can't be fooled by an animal. it can tell the difference between a cat and a person, and this was unthinkable 10 years ago. such models don't require much. i'm running mine currently just on a haswell cpu, no acceleration. it's not ideal but the fact it works shows it doesn't need much
