All the majority knows is that they are escaping Microsoft. Even if Valve releases proprietary binary crap in the next cycle they’ll still be happy to install it.

Be careful posting articles like this. I’m quoting some parts of it before anyone jumps to conclusion without reading it.

What does the policy say?

The policy summarizes itself this way:

It’s fine to use LLMs to answer questions, analyze, distill, refine, check, suggest, review. But not to create.

Pre-arranged, non-critical, high-quality, well-tested, and well-reviewed code changes that are originally created by an LLM are allowed, with disclosure.

Moderation rules

You must disclose LLM-generated content. You can choose to not post LLM content, or you can choose to post it and disclose its origin. You may not hide LLM involvement.

I can see we might have different definitions of “application”. You know what I meant. Without the back end the APK does nothing. Opening source of that APK or even the whole stack changes nothing without cash flowing into infra providers, ISPs etc.

Yes, try some community like asklemmy instead, seriously. You people are spamming this community with unrelated content. Just because we may happen to know the answer to your question, does not mean this question fits here.

Yeah? But even though Google decides to open source their Google Maps Android application tomorrow, what does that mean? Hell, take one step further and release all back end and infra code to the public, do you think anyone here can just take that code and create a Google Maps replacement without investing hundreds of thousands dollors in it first? What machines will those back end code run on? What map does the application renders without map data? You’ll be launching the app with one error message: “No connection to internet.”

I believe you are asking for a service, not an application, let alone it being open source or not.

Please, could you post it on a community more fit to your topic next time?

Being slightly more useful isn’t the only problem AI needs to solve. What about morality issue? Sure, slavery is very useful, but some of you, including me, ban Nestlé products. Why do you not have the same standard with products that are produced by, or assisted in production with AI?

There is a project called Inkbox (renamed to Quill now it appears) which is Linux built with musl libc and Qt on top, that runs on Kobo. Hey, that’s open source too! So why yet another open source project with hardware?

Can’t be cheap being a crowdfunded product, but not expensive either. The biggest turn-away I can see is the small screen. Most e-ink readers nowadays start at 6". A 4.x" screen will lose a considerable chunk of potential backers.

IKR? Why every one ignores BSD? They are fully functional systems suitable for casual use cases.😁

Sorry, no idea about Podman but docker is fine.

It’s Arch Linux done right.

So is it written in Godot or something?

Oh, cool, Rust!

Believe me, OP, SBCs are much more expensive than secondhand laptops and the performance is crap. If form factor is in consideration, consider a mini PC in the shape of NUC, or just get a Mac Mini M4 (install Asahi). If you want something flat, you can buy a secondhand Macbook with the screen removed.

Always, always choose amd64 or Apple Silicon.

Don’t look for a solution that is technical where the problem is mental.

No worries. My bad.

miniserve, a popular command line program written in Rust to serve static files, also counts down (from three though) before launching the server, just like he counts down from five before someone rewrites your Hanoi Tower game in Rust.

Why are you sharing your program with miniserve?

The indentation is the visual clutter to me.

Linebreaks are meant for casual readability, not end of statement, that’s how we write long statements on multiple lines. Therefore, we need a symbol for end-of-statement.

I’m that goof who built a desktop-shaped computer with the Milk-V Jupiter RISC-V (RV64GCVB) board last year. The performance was awful compared to recent amd64 setup. The amount of RAM wasn’t an issue, but the CPU was way to slow to even run a graphical interface (read XFCE), or compile some simple program in Rust. It’s equivalent to those arm926ej-s SBCs ten to fifteen years ago capable of running Linux 2.6, and only suitable for writing code in text.

I’d say give it two more decades, at current pace.

That’s fair, but come to think of it, the architecture of the CPU doesn’t really say anything about privacy. Someone can build an RISC-V chip but sneak in telemetry, or you can build yourself a x86_64 CPU and be 100% no telemetry. It’s about the manufacturer, not the architecture.

I don’t think you can ever be 100% sure that the CPU you’re running on is telemetry-free unless you have those kick-ass X-ray machines and examine it yourself. Building your trust on top of something else you deem trustworthy though, is practical. Billions of people are running Intel/AMD off-the-shelf CPUs, and there are perhaps millions specialists in them, what is the chance that a backdoor remains hidden?

The same goes for software. How do you know Linux kernel, OpenSSL, Wayland is trustworthy? Because many people use them, and it’s unlikely a backdoor is there. Think about the sheer amount of software the CPU runs. Don’t you think we shall have a greater concern there?

Hopefully this calms your paranoia about hardware a bit.
