Sometimes I see @alternativeto pushing quite a lot of commercial software and wonder about the perceived shift of perspective.

#CAD #CAM for example: Artsoft's Mach3 & Mach4 are listed separately as controllers, but not the #FreeSoftware #OpenSouce alternative #UGS?! Even #YouTube is better in the case of #CNC since the existence of #UniversalGCODEsender isn't censored (like covid).

Please, stop the progress of #enshitification and save the much appreciated website with more #GPL alternatives. TY

The LLM crawlers are in the same league as spammers. They cause the service operators (and, by extension, the society) to devote massive resources to fight the scourge. Resources that could otherwise be used for something productive.

If making the source code public attracts this kind of parasites, I'm concerned about the long-term viability of open source.

Sehr erhellender Beitrag von #Netzpolitik über die "SACHE" IT

"Ganz ehrlich, das Bundesinnenministerium wird seit 1982 ununterbrochen von Union und SPD geleitet. Und seit Jahrzehnten ist das BMI weit davon entfernt, in der Verwaltungsdigitalisierung irgendeine Art von Reformeffizienz oder -geschwindigkeit vorweisen zu können. Und ausgerechnet jetzt stellt das BMI Horstmann frei? Eine im Bereich Open Source kompetente Frau, die eine erst im Jahr 2022 ins Leben gerufene Behörde geleitet hat, die nur über knappe und unklare Ressourcen verfügte und dennoch Erfolge vorweisen kann? Das ist nur schwer diplomatisch zu umschreiben. Es ist einfach nur Bullshit."

Klar .. die Frau versteht nicht, was die neuen Koalitionsmänner wollen .. :

„Wachstum von Morgen mit Daten und Künstlicher Intelligenz“

Thank you 🇪🇺

I was afforded the opportunity to give my talk "But I Have Nothing to Hide: Common Sense Steps to Securing Your Online Privacy" at the #Orono Public Library this afternoon. For a rainy day we had a good and engaged turnout! I'm so proud to be able to help my fellow #mainers securing their #OnlinePrivacy and #DigitalAutonomy!

Predicting What Comes After DeepSeek


#Predicting What Comes After #DeepSeek #China
Already we are seeing Chinese companies take a different approach to AI development from OpenAI, Meta, and Tesla. Rather than building a moat protected by high Capex investment, proprietary software and high profit margin, DeepSeek, Alibaba, Unitree and BYD are developing an ecosystem through open sourcing, engineering optimization, and free/low-cost software. The goal is to drive quick adoption, scale and fast iteration, thus achieving long term market share gains.

I'm a candidate for #OpenSouce Initiative Director, “Affiliate district” . I got an unsolicited email (late PM, FRI 2025-03-07) from an Affiliate (their Executive Director is someone I've known them since circa 2003) & they told me they voted for me as #1. #OSI told candidates election ran *at least* 10 days including two weekends, but apparently it was actually 6.5 days & only one weekend.
