Well I’ve heard Cybertrucks are getting cheap because not many people want them.

Well, such a license could just obligat to open source the AI model that has been trained on it. If the instance prohibits training of AI models, or allow it, would be a separate condition that’s up to the instance owner, and its users can decide if they want to contribute under that condition, or not.

Goldman Sachs would not publish it that prominantly if it didn’t help their internal goals. And their intention is certainly not to help the public or their competitors. There are “independent” studies of some topics that are all well made and get to opposite conclusions. They just do what serves them. I wouldn’t trust anything that they publish.

There are studies that suggest that the information investment firms publish is not based on what they believe to be true, but on what they want others, including their competitors, believe to be true. And in many cases for serving their investment strategy, it benefits them to publish the opposite of what they believe to be true.

If Goldman Sachs said that, then most likely the opposite is true.

I’m surprised how everyone here believes what that capitalist company is saying, just because it fits their own narrative of AI being useless.

Why not banning them in schools, are they needed for studying?

It’s not helpful because it’s not discussing content but attacking a person’s character. This leads to emotions running high rather than letting your reasoning win the discussion.

There should be an option to say “I’ve read it and I decided against it” that makes the dot disappear.

For technical notes, I’d recommend Sphinx docs or single reStructuredText files on a cloud storage or repository. You can create all kind of formats (PDF, HMTL, ect.) from it, and it’s future proof.

Trac was great years ago. As much as I know, they were stuck on Python 2 until the very last moment 3 years ago, so it became almost unusable, and the UI is not responsive even today, not usable on phone. It used to be really great, but be careful relying on it before doing research on its current development.

Nextcloud Deck has an app as well that is on F-Droid.

When there’s a post about privacy issues, expect alternatives with more privacy be mentioned. It’s just that there are so many moments that big corporations violate user’s privacy nowadays, so people who escaped that mention an option with privacy in mind.

Everyone has different needs and takes different choices based on those individual needs. But don’t silence those who just mention an alternative for those who might need it. An yes it happens many times, but that’s the responsibility of the corporations in the first place.

OMG, not a smart decision from prism-break to move to Gitlab.com.

I didn’t know about that, thanks for telling.

It’s true, as for recommendations from websites, you should never trust them blindly but do your own research as well.

For Linux distributions though, as there’s no other practical way than trusting them with the packages they provide, one needs to make sure the people behind the project persue the right values. The project itself needs to earn your trust or at least not have a record of violating it.

Distributions based on Ubuntu like Linux Mint take pro-active steps to prevent their users from being affected by Canonical’s decisions (the company that controls Ubuntu). So as long as they detect all malicious implementations from Canonical, you are safe. But I personally prefer a purely community based distribution like Fedora in which things like that won’t happen in the first place. In contrast to Fedora, Ubuntu is under control of Canonical, a private company, which apparently plays a too significant role in strategic decisions that go against its users, and you never know if the Linux Mint team can respond to everything that Canonical is doing. Currently, Mint is removing Ubuntu’s online search integration, privacy violations, and replace some of Ubuntu’s Snap packages as they oppose Ubuntu’s decision and centralized control that comes with Snap packages. As I said above, for me it feels more right though to have a distribution that doesn’t need to work around questionable implementations of its parent distribution.

120 hz dynamically allocated, which means when you read text or do office work you save energy on a lower frame rate, and when you need higher frame rates for scrolling, movie or gaming it automatically increases it up to 120 hz. 120 hz on a 4 k display is something you can’t get from other brands. I have to uprade from my Lenovo X1 Carbon and have to buy a complete new Laptop just to get more RAM, but would have to downgrade the display as Lenovo doesn’t offer good display options in their Laptops anymore. I’m not going to sacrifice my eye sight to save Lenovo production costs. Fortunately, there is Framework now with their user orientated approach. And in the future, I won’t have to throw away a perfectly working high quality display and keyboard just to upgrade RAM, CPU, or ports, as all components can be swapped and independently upgraded on a Framework.

The problem with Ubuntu is that trust in a package manager is a basic criteria when evaluating a distribution. Once Canonical had violated that trust and shown its attitude with privacy violations, data collection, and default opt-in, you should stay away from anything that comes from Canonical. They didn’t get away with what they did, but the mindset behind their actions is part of how that company is run and what they might do in the future without letting you know. They were trying to establish an income channel by knowingly sacrificing the user’s privacy and security. That’s a no-go in my opinion.

Well, I guess the Famework’s 9 hours of battery life for office work is enough for most use cases. You need to set battery capacity in relation to power consumption, and Framework laptops have great power management with the AMD processors.

They promote Ubuntu-based distros, which cannot be trusted anymore, and they forget to mention Fedora as a better alternative.

Here is why you shouldn’t use Ubuntu:

Canonical’s Ubuntu is not recommended because it contains Amazon ads and data leaks by default. GNU/Linux distributions based on Ubuntu are also currently not recommended due to several other reasons.
