It’s an expansion to say that LLM training constitutes a derivative work. You are of course entitled to your opinion that it should be the case; all I can say to that is that in the 2000s and 2010s nearly everyone on the Internet tended to argue for more limitations, not further expansions, of copyright law, and I wonder what happened to that attitude.
and yet it is still a legally unsettled question whether LLM training requires a copyright license at all; and it is my opinion that no one should want that to be the case, why would people on the Internet want to argue for an expansion of copyright law?
The PlayStation one is the symbol, not the letter, so that one is a bit different.
No I don’t. I don’t have a PS controller and have never had a PlayStation, so this knowledge is much less universal than you seem to think.
The FSF has a page dedicated to this exact question: https://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html.en
Why do I want this? There are already many browsers available, and this one isn’t even (apparently: yet) FOSS, so why should I be excited about this one?
likely not either (much) better or worse than any other place where you store your files unencrypted on someone else’s computer?
Not sure what exactly you’re asking.
KDE uses “meta” to refer to the Windows key. Emacs uses “meta” to refer to the Alt key. You are correct that GNOME calls the Windows key “Super”.
This causes some confusion, obviously we Linux users don’t want to call it the Windows key, so the best solution is to call the keys “Super” and “Alt”, those are unambiguous.
Mostly the same as Windows, ie for opening the application launcher menu, as well as for a variety of global shortcuts.
The menu key is a convenient place to put the compose key.
KDE mostly calls it Meta, GNOME calls it “Super”.
Reforming the GDPR is in principle a good idea because many of the terms used in it are so vague that it’s completely unclear what it does or doesn’t mean.
Somehow I suspect that improving this isn’t what’s going to happen…
Pretty sure “flora” and “flower” are related words, yeah.
Well, for most real-world programming languages, you do have to teach syntax. You do not have to use the word “syntax”, you can call it something else.
Obviously there are things like Scratch that are intended for your exact use case.
I don’t think you need to use the word “syntax” at all when teaching anyone basic coding. There are many ways to paraphrase the concept. It is kind of an odd question, why that specific word?
In any case, the IPA above doesn’t seem “unpronounceable” at all to me as a native speaker of German and fluent speaker of English. The pronunciation isn’t intuitive from the spelling, that is quite a different thing from being unpronounceable.
I’m too young to have gotten chain emails 30 years ago, but https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/courtroom.quips.html may be from that era too.
In any case, there have been way more people than those two in world history who have had the first name “Joseph”, and it works equally well for all of them.
I don’t use one except for work (to connect to corporate networks).
A VPN mostly changes which entity you have to trust (from your ISP to your VPN provider). I don’t have a reason to distrust my ISP any more than any VPN provider. I don’t have any need to regularly get around any geoblocking.
When I do privacy-sensitive things, I use Tor, which is actually effective at hiding who I am and what I am doing.
a desktop version of a web version of a desktop app? talk about going full circle :D
