TIL that a can be defined as .

Granting the “freedom to fine tune” cannot be enough to qualify as Open Source AI just like granting the “freedom to configure” cannot be enough to qualify as Open Source Software.

Yet, for it's enough.

And you can't provide effective solutions to the problem they pretend to see into making training data available.

Or you will be silenced.

1000 richest people are approched. "The end of the world is here. Time to go to your doomsday bunker", they are told. The billionaires nodded. They knew this was coming. They were prepared.

So they gathered their loved ones and locked themselves in luxury bunkers. No contact to outside world.

10 years later they emerge. The world has healed. The air is breathable, people are happy. "What was the catastrophy?" they ask the first person they meet.

She screams: "THEY GOT OUT!!!"

Il browser chiede a Google i trend, inviandogli come minimo il tuo ip (e forse altre info) per determinare la tua area geografica di riferimento.

E quel che è peggio, è abilitato di default e per disabilitarlo devi cliccare sui risultati (quindi DOPO il primo invio).

NB: nel primo messaggio ho scritto una cosa probabilmente errata: forse non invia la stringa di ricerca (non ho provato).

What happens if the proposed EU chat control regulation passes?

This series of news reports and press releases imagines the first year of cascading consequences.

It illustrates how the well-intentioned-but-flawed proposal will make detecting child abuse imagery more difficult while harming innocent people, national security, and the EU’s digital sovereignty.

Please share. The EU resumes discussions of the proposal today.

Dicono solo negli US, ma diversi italiani se lo sono trovati abilitato di default dopo un aggiornamento.

Los representantes de España han sido de los más radicales en su postura contra la privacidad.

A pesar de que esta medida propia de regímenes dictatoriales ha sido bloqueada varias veces, la insistencia en colarla , pese a su impopularidad, es alarmante. ⚠️

Sto pensando di fare un sito per la #FestaDeiPopoli con features tipo "Il tuo browser non è aggiornato! Ma avrai i tuoi buoni motivi per non aggiornarlo, quindi abbiamo fatto di tutto perché tu possa visitare questo sito" (con un degrade gracefully) e "Non hai installato un adblock! Male! Ricordati di installarlo" e cose simili.

To each his own: you find that article myopic and I find your comment hallucinated. 😅

The issue with that article is that it still ignore the corporations behind LLM, does not clarify how they are responsible for the "decisions" "borrowed" by the corpus and how they should be held accountable for each of LLM outputs.

Thanks for the ping! we'll probably never distribute anything systemd, but as you say: if you run devuan, this is not an issue 💜

@ekaitz_zarraga as you know, Guix did a capital sin to my eyes: joining (leading?) a mob to attack RMS.

I'll be more than happy to consider Guix when they will publicly apologize on their web site.

BTW, [SystemD's support of systemic surveillance](github.com/systemd/systemd/iss) is one more reason to move to @jaromil's

devuan.org/

I wonder if customized the defaults in the systemd packages. Maybe @dyne might distribute an ungoogled-systemd?

Ironically, the same refuse to get rid of [in the default build](github.com/systemd/systemd/iss) have a security bug bounty program sponsored by the [Sovereign Tech Fund](sovereigntechfund.de/about).

What's more than leaking personal data to by default?

@ed because, as explained in the issue, people (and corporations) compile and use open source software from source routinely, and even more in these years of supply chain attacks.

A failing build can be fixed in an hour (at most, if the build process is properly documented), but a personal data-leak can not be fixed at all after it occurred.

People who can't find DNS server more suited for their needs can happily use Google's one, but it must be a conscious decision not something they are not aware of.

As for it being a systemd responsibility, I think it is (they wrote that code and picked the worst possible defaults).
And frankly, they happily renamed the default branch from `master` to `main` to please US people who do not like to remember their heritage, why they shouldn't do a cheap fix here that benefit all the rest of the world?

Also note that **no actual distro build would be affected** as they already define the constants.

So why not?

@ed I proposed a simple solution as soon as the issue has been considered by the team (unfortunately, to close it without much reflection).

The solution is pretty simple: fail early.

Just make the build fail if the user didn't specify the required constants to `./configure`.

This way anybody can pick the desired values at compile time and won't get neither (pretty undetectable) personal data-leaks nor malfunctions.
