Not sure if it's what you are looking for, but the #HackingLicense is a copyleft designed to also apply to any "AI model" (and any of its output) that was "trained" over a covered work: https://www.tesio.it/documents/HACK.txt
@mozilla@mozilla.social stop. Nobody asked for this. Nobody wants an "ai browser". I still have no clue what an ai browser even is or does, and I do not see how shoving a statistical model into a browser will enhance anything at all. Nobody is using firefox because they want this kind of crap.Please, for the love of all that is holy, shift focus back onto juat making a decent web browser. Not a single person who uses your browser wants this.
"Worse" for who?
I'm very happy too if someone find a way to get rich through the code I donated to humanity.
But if to get rich he write closed (or patent-protected or..) source software that prevent me or anybody else to study and modify such code, I'm not happy anymore.
That's why I use the #HackingLicense, despite the stigma on #copyleft license proliferation: http://www.tesio.it/documents/HACK.txt
I don't give a shit if somebody cry about it not being compatible with GPL, it being hurting the FOSS and so on: you can make money for my work, but any software, AI model or whatever you build on top of it, must be shared in the same way.
This is a very American vision about the matter.
Nobody care of people getting rich with their code (or at least, very very few people give a shit about that,, outside the USA).
The problem is cultural: code is culture and everyone should be allowed to access any code and build on that.
#copyleft licenses are just tools to this aim. The problem with #RMS is that, despite his huge culture, he's still too aligned with American value system (aka #Capitalism) to really understand the limits of #GPL routinely used by #BigTech corporations to exploit #FreeSoftware developers on one hand, and to expoil the users of the freedoms his licenses are designed to grant (and many other too!)
per la verità, erano dirigenti CGIL da tutta Italia. Il corso è ancora disponibile su https://fad.cgil.it/ (dietro autenticazione e autorizzazione, ragione per cui @rresoli l'aveva ripubblicato qui http://video.linuxtrent.it/w/p/ih87E19VKKsSTxAJYL6QhR )
La #CGIL inizia a comprendere la complessità, i molti rischi e le fragili opportunità della società #cibernetica in cui viviamo.
Bell'articolo con un ottimo finale

Spero che alle parole seguano fatti e che la CGIL inizi a fornire agli iscritti i servizi informatici basilari, come email, instant messanging cifrato (#xmmp? #matrix?), ed inizi ad evitare come la peste a tutti i livelli quei fornitori che profilano i lavoratori per manipolarli (#Google, #Facebook, #Amazon etc...)

I lavoratori digitali (platform worker): problemi e prospettive
@politica
Sul tema dei lavoratori digitali (platform worker) riportiamo questo articolo di Mauro De Agostini dal n. 6/marzo 2023 di “Collegamenti per l’organizzazione diretta di classe” “Prima di internet, sarebbe stato difficile trovare qualcuno e farlo sedere per dieci minuti a...

You can't fight overwhelming complexity with more complexity.
Uhm.. I thought it was, and in fact forked #Jehanne to further simplify and make it more powerful: http://jehanne.h--k.it/
But infact I was wrong: Plan9 is still inheritelly elitist. Even its best incarnation, #9front, while a superb enginering achievement, builds on top of a broken history.
People should not need to learn grep, sed or awk to manipulate text files programmatically. Even just their names sounds arcane.
Furthermore the reason why people do not use Plan9 is rooted in the huge military investments that funded (and still funds) the broken alternatives through several companies (microsoft, ibm, sun, google...) and universities that spread the broken tools.
Spreading computing literacy for the masses is never been a goal of such actors.
Today the cultural #hegemony that was built this way, makes it unthinkable to further explore the vast design space that could actually gives us a safer foundation for modern computing.
That is also why "the Plan9 lesson" must ignore the economical and geo-political forces that lead to its (percieved) failure.
And why you didn't mention an European os like #Oberon instead.
That's naive.
While redesigning and rewriting from scratch you would build on the lessons learned during the last 3 decades at least.
AND you would have manageable complexity as a goal, likely with metrics to measure it.
Compared with the current mainstream mess that lacks any cohesion or design coherence since at least Unix V5, it's impossible to do anything worse, so the improvement would be certain.
It's amusing to see the mix of moral panic and hypocrisy in #InfoSec arousing around the #xzbackdoor.
Everybody propose "#xz takeaway", "lesson learned" and so on...
But everybody pretends such kind of carefully crafted attacks to be something new, something clever and unprecedented.
It's not.
For a #backdoor that has been discovered (by a fortunate and unlikely row of coincidences, while analyzing benchmarks of an unrelated software), thousands are still running in production.
Hiding backdoors in modern stack is incredibly easy due to its huge complexity. And this is obviously true for both #opensource and proprietary software.
The only way out is to redesign and rewrite everything from scratch to be human readable.
#Wirth was right.
Imparando a programmare.
Lo so che è un opinione impopolare, ma ormai la programmazione è un prerequisito della cittadinanza, al pari della scrittura.
E lo è semplicemente perché la soverchiante maggioranza delle migliaia di agennti cibernetici con cui interagiamo ogni giorno sono software.
Three years ago, #FDroid had a similar kind of attempt as the #xz #backdoor. A new contributor submitted a merge request to improve the search, which was oft requested but the maintainers hadn't found time to work on. There was also pressure from other random accounts to merge it. In the end, it became clear that it added a #SQLinjection #vuln. In this case, we managed to catch it before it was merged. Since similar tactics were used, I think its relevant now
@djsundog @andrewfeeney I make a lot of finished software. Mostly for personal use. And a lot of it adheres to these principles:
