The Court doesn’t even hide its unfairness. This isn’t good.

I think that if we work together as people we can achieve more than just a couple of good organizations that can fade. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t donate to Wikipedia or Internet Archive. The goal isn’t to compete, it isn’t a business. Just to make things stronger.

How does it work? Does it download all Wikipedia or any other website I point it to (like Project Gutenberg as it says on the website) pages or does it download it when I access the page?

Both the Internet Archive and Wikipedia are really important. I guess the way is to make alternatives or datahoard in these difficult times.

Crawling the web is an important right for access of information. I think big crawlers shouldn’t dominate the market. Especially since Google isn’t up to par to find anything that is wanted anymore.

You see this on GitHub already. People publish paper results and manuals, along with a few files, and treat that as if it were open source. And this isn’t limited to LLMs, people with CNN papers or crawlers and other results publish a few files and the results on GitHub as if it were open source. I think this is a clash between current scientific community thinking + Big Tech vs Free Software + Free Culture initiatives.

Additionally, you can’t expect something Microsoft/Meta touches to remain untainted for long.

I completely get that someone used to monopolies can’t understand Mastodon. I don’t think it has anything to do with understanding technology, though.

Are people negative and rude or not expressed passion towards anything?

Also, I think there is a good passion for tech surrounding this community. I like that.

#ebooks is composed of datahoarders that have a lot of stuff available. You declare the data source you’re getting the book from (e.g. Oatmeal) and then the name of the book.

This is common in rolling releases, but Pop OS isn’t a rolling release distro. Maybe a package you installed or something similar?

With a Wi-Fi adapter on Desktop?

I think Windows is successful because it creates a nice Enterprise environment, where companies can easily get into investing into new apps to use in their offices. I think that’s why it’s successful.

I think problems that could be solved are generic hardware compatibility. Being able to install Wi-Fi adapters and Digital Tokens easily on Linux would go a long way. I think it will get there, though.

I had one last week because of Storage problems.

Third party licensed apps are everything on Windows.

That was kind of expected, but Claude isn’t that good either.

I use Geany. It’s lightweight and easy to use, but there are some features missing.

I agree. Commercials get in, you get what happened to the Internet. We need something new.

I firmly believe that connecting people to their IRL friends is an important part of the potential of the Internet, as it is shown by Facebook, for example.

But I also believe there are people looking to connect with new people and finding a community where they can express themselves wholly. I think the current Internet is weak in this regard, weaker than it has been before, but I think it’s possible to build a place where people can connect.

That seems like a good idea.
