That’s the problem with authoritarianism: it no longer matters what is legal or not (the repressive state does as it pleases), and even if it did matter what’s legal, too bad that’s not up to you to decide anymore.

We should just stop marketing LLMs as AI.

With OpenAI already enshitifying ChatGPT with ads, and the whole datacenter demand being pegged to questionable (economically, socially, environmentally) build up plans, what if the music stops in just a few months from now? Will micron course-correct? There’s no point fulfilling OpenAI’s orders after the company went belly up, right? And the point of OpenAI orders was first and foremost to buy the competition out of market, so even if LLMs need memory, and LLMs keep being a thing in the years to come, it’s unlikely that this overcapacity will serve an economical purpose.

For one thing, I’m glad people finally come to such conclusions. Matrix has been a huge waste, and the tens of millions of investment would have done wonders if poured over better, more mature, healthier and more diverse protocols.

If there’s one constant about Matrix, it is to perpetually reinvent the wheel because it wasn’t invented there in the first place.

Its not lossless.

Except for when it is, and even when it’s not, there is a fine line leading to calling that plagiarism.

Well, once again, that’s just my hot/IANAL take, but when those weights serve to store information in a way that can easily be extracted losslessly (check-out “model extraction attacks”), we should stop treating them as “just weights”.

I mean, the elephant in the room is the blatant licence violations orchestrated by LLM vendors. If your codebase is GPLed and serves to feed a LLM, it should extend to all the code produced by that LLM.

For decades, the FOSS community has been at each others throats about those licenses, and now that we contemplate the largest IP theft/reappropriation of all time, it’s like, not big a deal. I can’t tell that I’m a prolific OSS contributor, but enough to understand the sentiment: “I put code in the open to help humanity, not to make oligarchs better off with a newfound mandate to pollute”.

Congrats for the release!

I came to bitwarden because we needed to share passwords with my SO and the way those replicate seamlessly on all our devices (desktop, laptop, iOS, Android) is a no brainer. Since bitwarden/vaultwarden is full self-hostable and open-source, I don’t see why I would pass on its convenience.

Ahh, that’s good to know. Perhaps a mention of this in the original post might help some lost lemmians such as myself :-)

/u/Ategon , seems like the links lead to an error page, is this still the recommended way of requesting a community creation?

Glad to hear that! That’s an area of dsub which I appreciate: it’s pretty clear what’s cached offline and not, transitioning to offline is one tap away, and caching whole sub-trees of the library is easy and convenient. As a frequent flyer, I get that I might be an atypical user, but I rely on this very much.

Element is the poster-child of the venture capital long forgotten darling, now struggling for its survival after failing as an investment and as a product so thoroughly. During its first decade, they had to pump hype with overblown promises to keep the funds coming, often dragging the ecosystem into unsustainable and unattainable quests (remember P2P?). Now that this is no longer on the menu, they want to give the pretence of being the “reasonable” alternative and focuses on leeching public grants while completely failing/being late to the party in the corporate space. Even though Matrix saw some non-federating/private deployments at some government agencies in the recent years, little of it has benefitted Element, which pissed them off enough into going with an open-core model (i.e. closed source “Synapse Pro” with a paid subscription for the resource-efficient server). I’ve been following them since the very start, and although “fibbing” might be too strong a word, deception is their MO.

Element says lots of things.

Looks like it was caused by the “size of streaming cache” which I had set to 0 under the assumption/hope it would mean “unlimited”. Though I had to log out and back on for album art to effectively reappear.

Glad this project is alive and well! For strange reasons, covers are not displayed in-app (replaced by a generic placeholder) but do appear in the android media related screens (media controls, lock screen, etc).

You seem angry. It’s just too bad you couldn’t funnel this energy into learning and configuring nextcloud to your needs. It is actually pretty lean when you set it up properly. Anyhow, happy you found something you liked eventually.
