Sappi che ci sto seriamente pensando.
Non so solo come formularla in modo sufficientemente generico e future proof:
- AI e ML sono tutti termini fuffa ma per ora sono ancora l'unico a parlare più correttamente di "programmazione statistica"
- la #HackingLicense non si applica solo al software ma anche ai contenuti ed ai database
Se hai suggerimenti, sei il benvenuto!

Sure: read here about the need to give G. your private key, it is the official docs: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9842756?hl=en
It will not directly affect #fdroid, as #fdroid can only build apks, as far as I got it, and not app bundles.
But, as a dev, you end up with two distribution formats, should you also be on the Play Store.
Do you have a source about this private key requirement? Sounds like an obvious threat, too blunt and arrogant even for #Google!
Also I'd like to know if the title was clickbaiting or this is actually an issue with #Android: I do not use #GooglePlay (disabled on my phones) but only @fdroidorg@mastodon.technology: does this change anything for their #APK?

Being a developer, I never published my apps at the Play Store but only on #fdroid .
To use app bundles, you need to give them your private key.
This gives them technically the ability to inject any code into your app.
But hey, what could go wrong?

Hi @tindall@cybre.space, just read your thread at https://qoto.org/web/statuses/106500375406792092 and I totally agree.
#GitHub Copilot's models are derivative works (and derived works) of the sources used to calibrate them and thus can violate #copyright (and patents?!) encapsulated in those sources.
I have a question though.
You wrote:
```
If you trained it on MPL code, you are in violation of that license.
```
What clause are you referring to?
In this days I'm finalizing the #HackingLicense (see http://www.tesio.it/documents/HACK.txt ) and I was thinking about this specific problem.
Assuming it could be expressed properly in legalese (without turning the license in a software-only one), I'd be very happy to explicitly impose that any work automatically built out of a covered work would be covered too. If you know a license that impose such terms, I would be eager to learn more about it (MPL is not one... o maybe I'm missing something?)

prosecutor: What is the project's licensing model?
Google employee: It's open-source.
prosecutor: Where is the source code located?
Google employee: The code is in a git repository at android.googlesource.com.. There are instructions for building it on the website at source.android.com..
prosecutor: Very well. Please download the source code onto this laptop and build the project.

IMPORTANT: We're seeing a large scale attempt to bulk-register bot accounts across the public Matrix network (including captcha bypass) in order to perform spam flood attacks. If you're running a public homeserver please disable open registration, or require email for signups.

So GitHub copilot… correct me if I’m wrong here: it was trained on open source (including GPLed & AGPLed code?) by *spit* Elon Musk’s OpenAI and now it regurgitates said code and this doesn’t violate the GPL/AGPL because…?

@aral Whether it does or doesn't produce derivative works in violation of copyleft is being debated. My expectation is that it does, but there is sufficient murkyness introduced by ML that maybe they'll get away with it.

"What Windows 11 means: We'll be stuck with millions of Windows 10 zombies
Some machines will be left behind despite owners' preferences. Many others will be abandoned because their owners either don't know how, don't care, or refuse to upgrade.".
I will repeat myself, but... If you use Windows anywhere in your infrastructure, you will get hacked.
It's just a question of time.

E no!
Hai capito malissimo!
La #CancelCulture si oppone ad odio e molestie, solo quando le vittime appartengono alle categorie che popolano i sensi di colpa statunitensi!
Sugli #hacker, per esempio, si può sputare liberamente, perché tanto sono sfigati senza amici che non vuole nessuno.
@minimalprocedure@mastodon.uno
Per due ragioni: non blocca nessuna istanza (e questo è una violazione gravissima dell'obbedienza dovuta alla #CancelCulture americanoide) e vieta esclusivamente discorsi d'odio e molestie esplicite.
